Mr.. Edward Atkinson has beer
one of the great lights of the Repub
lican party on the gold standard
There was no end to the Statistical
tables he could pile up in support
of the fraud. In an unlucky hour
however, he commenced opposition
to the Republican party's "imper
ialism" policy and wrote seditious
pamphlets which he requested the
government to help him distrib.
ute among the soldiers in the
Philippines. Then his old goldbug
friends jumped on him with both
feet. The following is a specimen
of their opinion of their heretofore
wonderful statistician:
"Mr. Atkinson is Il conspicuous
example of a class of men of whom
this country has, unfortunately,
too many. With Il mental texture
of the thinnest kind they are ready
at all times to thrust their opinions
and views and half-formed judg,
ments upon the public. They never
study a subject thoroughly but al
ways aim 10 get their half formed
views before the public first. The
injury done by these shallow peo-
pie is incalcuable. They mislead
thousands of well-meaning persons
who having no time to investigate
subjects for themselves adopt the
first and most plausible one
presented"
Mr.. Atkinson was one of their
foremost men in the currency
debate held at Omaha a few months
ago.

The Democratic Ticket.

The Democratic county conven-
ton which met at Elkton on Tues
day to nominate a county ticket,
was a very quiet assemblage, and
did it's work without ripple OF
excitement, only one vote being re-
quired to nominate except in the
case of Sheriff, which required three
ballots to decide, there having been
a number of candidates for the
hangman's Office.
1Not a sound was given indicating
where the party stood as to national
principles, whether it affiliates with
Bryan and the national democratic
principles or with Perry Belmont,
Croker and the gold imperialist
Bedouines. The riddle of the
Maryland Sphinx is still unread.
0The following is the ticket, a fair
average in point of fitness. The
States Attorney is old and tried
and could not well be improved
upon. Only one of the candidates
for the House of Delegates is able

requirements for legislator. The

Story OF the Great Republic.

We have received from the Ameri-
can Book Co.. Chicago, a copy of
The Story of the Great Republic,
which is primarily designed as a sup
Elemental reader, but is admirably
adapted for use as an elementaryr
textbook in history. The author
aims to make the history of our
country from the framing of the Con-
stltution down to the present day as
interesting and instructive to children
as possible. In order to do this in
the most effective way, important
events have been treated not as mere
historical facts, but as the deeds of
living men. Many stories and anec--
dotes are introduced at intervals
throughout the book, thus giving it.
distinctly personal flavor. Every
issue has been described with strictt
impartiality and fairness, the writer's,
main object being to make good mem
and women of the rising generation,
as we'll as loyal and patriotic Ameri
cans. Some of the chapters which are
of special interest at this time are,
'The Battle of Manila" Surrender,
of Santiago" "TheGreat White City,
''The Annexation of Hawaii" "Hob-
sons Brave Deed" etc. The list.
price is 65 cents.
