 The action of the committee in declaring Mccoy the nominee in the -Tace Of the overwhelming facts to the 2o9ftrhty, spbpittfd for ltheis. consideration, was un-Demoeratie, unjust and subYersion of the will of the DeAbFthfc k6terb of the county las ltdgisteted fhI two prima1 ries.
 To such fraud and prostitution
 of the ballots of the people the GIRAPH16 cannot nor will fhot sub- scribe. Principle stands above pol itics and patriotism above party. The party obligation to support it's 1 nominees carrles with it the recipro- eal,obligation to put. up only such persons for nominees as have been fairly and squarelY selected by the voters of the party. Loyalty to the party pre-supposes honesty in the selection of it's nominees. Fraud lFitiates an election, and the declal : atioh of a fraudulent nomination releases every loyal adherenti from his obligation. .aaa8 a#e sqHqq)
 Since the will ofHthe Democracy Qf Jefferson county has been set aside and thwarted by a partisan committee and man declared the nominee who has been twice repu- dfated at the polls, no Democrat is obligated tosupport the said fraud, ulent nominee. aa,I
 On the other hand the duty is in- eumbent on every citizen who ap- preciates his liberties and loves his parity and bis country, to rebuke such methods, which, if counte- raheed and endorsed, will ultirhate4 lyilead to the disruption of his@par- ty and a corrupt governrnent..
 The Democratic party is an hon est party. 1t cannot appeal tost the people for their suffrage or deserve it unless dishonesty is disc6dnte- nanced and fraud rebuked.

Dwelling DESTROYED by Fire.

About 2 o'clock last Friday morn
ing as Mr.. Ross Hodges, who had just
gotten off a train from Hagerstown,
was passing along Princess street he
noticed smoke coming from the house
owned by Mrs. Annie Winebrenner
and occupied by the family of Robert
Douglas, colored. a brief investiga-
ton showed him that the dwelling
was afre, and he at once gave the
alarm. The fre-bell was set going
vigorously, and the department and
citizens responded as quickly as could
be expected at such an hour Of the
night When the first persons reached
the scene the south end OF the house
was in flames, which reached out to
seize the small house of Mr.. John H.
Snyder, nearby, occupied by Mrs. Sa-
rah Trainer and daughter. Men
quickly climbed on the roof Of Mrs.
Trainers dwelling, and by plucky
work on the part Of the bucket brigade
the house was saved, although one
side Of it was badly charred. The
furniture. etc. was moved out of it in
a hurry, and later, when it was placed
in the house again, not an article was
broken or lost. By the time the en-
CINE got to work the Winebrenner
house was a mass of flames, but in
FIVE minutes time the two powerful
streams that were put on it had con-
quersd the fire, and one end Of the
building was saved from destruction.
The colored family, who were routed
out before they had time to dress, suf-
fered some loss in household effects.
Mira. Winebrenner had recently moved
her furniture from the house. The
building, which was very old frame
structure a story and a-half high, was
insured in the agency Of Harrison q
Sehley for $500. 1t had recently
been sold by Mrs. Winebrenner to
Mrs. Matte Lucas, but We understand
the transfer had not actually taken
place. Mr.. John II. Snyder whose
house was saved from burning, and
Mrs. Trainer, whose furniture was 80
well cared for, ask us to return their
thanks to the people who worked 50
hard to prevent loss
There was another fire on Frog IS
land Tuesday night. The roof Of the
house occupied by Mr.. Conrad Snyder
caught fire shortly after midnight,
and was blazing at a good rate when
it was discovered. The people Of the
neigborhood were aroused and sue
ceeded in putting the fire out without
giving general alarm.
