Candidate Bryan's Campaign.

There is always more or less specu-
lation concerning the candidate for
the presidency. 1t usually begins di-
rectly after the election, and if the
incumbent be popular man, is CON
fined almost entirely to the opposi-
ton, inference being that the former
is likely to succeed himself. That ap-
pears to be the situation now. The
speculation is mainly as to who will
be the Democratic candidate. Bryan.
owing to his oratorical exploits, Sc
cured large and enthusiastic per-
sonal following during the last cam
paign, portion of which appears to
have chung to him with even greater
fevor since then. OF course, much of
this is due to the industry with which
he has nursed his boom and his dexter
GUS posing.
Bryan has managed to keep himself
more continuously in view than any
candidate in recent years. This is
not due to his great wisdom or states
manship. He may possess these, but

One of his daughters was the late wife
of ex-Sheritf Chas. Wegman, who died

DIPLoMATIsTs at Washington are
said to be puzzled over Italy's demand
for port on the Chinese coast, mas
much as she has no trade to speak of
in that quarter. The remark, how
ever, could with equal truth have
been applied to France; and yet the
latter power has entered into the
game of far eastern politics with quite
as much zest as has Germany or Rus
STA. 1t is not existing but potential
commerce with China about which
France is concerned; and who knows
but that Italy, like her neigh
Dor, expects to engage in cultivating
among the Chinese a taste for her
products? If the French could sue
coed in introducing to the Celestials
the modes de Paris, why shouldn't
the Italians teach them to eat spa
ghetti and to flavor their tea with
lemons.

He Has Stood the Test.

No more gratifying endorsement
could be given to the administration
of Governor Lowndes than the en-
thusiasm which his candidacy for re-
nomination has evoked throughout
the State. Not only the Republican
party but all good friends of good gov
eminent in Maryland recognize in
this enthusiasm an augury of his tri-
uphant election. The record of that
administration and the personality
of the candidate are, of course, the
only ground upon which we can come
before the people and solicit their suf-
frages. The gentleman who in 1872
placed the Sixth District squarely in
the Republican column and four
years ago by his phenomenal victory
made possible the selection of McKin-
ley electors in 1896 and the choice of
two United States Senators, does not
expect to be judged by any other critic
rion.
Carried into power by tidal
wave of high expections it was
thoroughly understood that fierce
light of scrutiny would beats = n
the State government, and thaSSi2
should stand or fall by such test. Al
ter probation of two years the peo-
pie did have chance to pronounce
verdict upon the party in power as
led by Governor Lowndes, when a
Legislature was to be chosen, and
that verdict was an unequivocal en-
dorsement. Again the people are
asked for a pronouncement of opin-
ion when executive officers and a
legislature are at stake, and we await
the result with confidence for good
and sufficient reasons Every prom
Use of reform has been kept. No
department has escaped vigilant and
intelligent oversight. Measures have
been recommended by the Governor
and placed upon the statue books that
have brought Maryland to the fore
front of advancement.
Free books and more liberal appro-
priation to schools for secondary and
higher education have been granted
The franchise has been guarded by an
election law that has no superior,
The financial standing of the State
has meyer been equaled. No State
has ever had cleaner, ADLER or more
progressive State government than
has been given to Maryland by Gov
ernor Lowndes during the last four
years.
AS to the personality of this gentle
man there is no need for excessive
laudation. He has not sought for his.
trionic effects or to make political cap
ital of the performance of duty. His
eye has has been upon every dollar
expended. No public institution has
escaped his ever-watchful care. sc

State interests has been neglected
No call of duty has been unheeded.

Vol. NXHI. No. I,

With this issue THE REPUBLICAN
enters upon the twenty-third year of
its existence. In that time it has had
two proprietors, Capt. James A. Hay
den, who retired in 1890, and the pres
ent owner.
When The REPUBLICAN was
launched upon the sea of journalism
Garrett county was in the Democrat
ic column, but little by little the
majority given year after year for
candidates upon the ticket put out
by the Democrats dwindled away and
at the time the present owner took
charge of the paper nearly every Of
flee within the gift of the people was
filled by Democrats. An aggressive
campaign was begun against the
party in power Immediately after the
paper came into our charge with the re-
suit that within the remarkably short
space of less than two years the Demo
cratic majority in Garrett county had
faded entirely away and given place
to majority for the Republicans of
more than two hundred. We do not
say this seeking praise but in a
spirit of pardonable pride.
In the future as in the past this
journal will advocate the principles
of the Republican party but will re-
serve the privilege of criticising per-
sons placed in public office by the
votes of the people, be he Democrat
or Republican.

The fact that an eminent Methodist
clergyman in New York the other
day impeached the credibility of
many of the Bible miracles will have
little effect upon the grounded faith
of the Christian world in the truth of
the Scriptures. The latter have
withstood the assaults of the skep-
tics in and out of the church for
hundreds of years, and still pass I'M
challenged in the belief of the major
ity of devout Christians, Iconoclasts
have endeavored time and again to
weaken human belief in many of the
cherished traditions of the world.
The stories of William Tell and of
Pocahontas, for example, have been
attacked as purely imaginative. But
these, and others like them, are fixed
in the popular mind because of GER
tain enrolling quality which they
possess; and even if they be fables
they may be regarded as sanctified
myths which exert a good influence
upon human action, and may not,
therefore, be lightly relegated to the
limbo of disproved traditions. The
world clings to them as it clings to
the things which it has tried and
found to be true.

NEWSPAPERS, like men, can not be
all things to all men. They must be
one thing or the other The compos-
lite photograph has never became
popular in art, for the reason that it
is nobody. When a reader finds an
editor catering to all sides he is apt
to make up his mind that that editor
is working both sides for what money
he can make out of them. Even
biased opinions, if they are honest
and fearless, are better than milk and
water opinions expressed for money.
The hermaphrodite in journalism is
not the ideal of the people who act as
we'll as think. So-called indepen-
dence often means nothing more nor
less than the promulgator is anxious
to take in dollar both coming and
going. Newspapers should not only
stand for something, but they should
stand up for it. To do this it is not
necessary even to espouse the cause
of party, although that is a good
way, for parties are supposed to stand
for something; but it is necessary to

IMPORTANT NOTICE.

In view of the fact that the county
is getting its publishing done at
greatly reduced rates, THE REPUBLI-
CAN thinks that the individual is as
much entitled to the benefit of cut
rate as the county treasury, if not
more so, for the reason that he or his
property must stand the whole ex-
pense for publishing, whereas that
for the county is borne by the many
and is, consequently, not nearly so
burdensome, individually, being a
mere bag0telIe compared with the
other.
We have, therefore, decided to re-
duce our advertising rates one-half-
so cents per square for the first inser-
ton and % cents per square for each
additional insertion-on the follow
ing class of legal advertising: Mort
gagees Sales, Trustees Sales, Admin
istrators' and Executors Notices and
all other legal publications for which
the poor man, widow or orphan are
bound to pay.
Let all interested parties bear these
rates in mind and insist that those
representing them, or who have the
power to sell their property, shall
take advantage of these reduced rates
in advertising property for sale or in
sorting other legal notices.

they have not appeared conspicuous
ly in any of his hundreds of orations.
He has usually spoken to audiences
who wanted, above all things, to see
him and hear his voice, and what he
said was a matter of no particular
moment. But this following, ardent
as it is, cannot nominate him. 1t is
very like the following which wor-
shipped Cleveland on the conclusion
of his second term, only more numer-
Gus. 1t is formidable element from
a party standpoint, but more on ac-
count of its ability to bolt than for its
, strength in conventions.
All of the other candidates will
necessarily antagonize Bryan, and
their greatest strength consists in
their power to work beneath the sur
face and counterfeit the schemes of
the Bryanites. They are not avowed
candidates, and are, on that account,
more formidable. They have not
only the practical politicians, but the
judicious leaders, with them, who
know very well that the keynote of
Bryan's craftsmanship once sounded
in the campaign would be the death
knell of the party, as it would be of
the commercial and industrial inter
ests of the country were such a Gala
nifty to happen as his election. 1t is
plausible inference from the above
that while Bryan will have strength
: though to divide his party, he will
not be it's nominee. Many months
must elapse before the convention
meets, and by that time new issues
and even new parties may have arisen

According to French publication
Science pour Tons, in many Eng,
fish houses ION the table by the side
of the pepper box and the salt box is
placed a sand box-a little receptacle
filled with very fine sand, as fine as
flour, which is sprinkled over all the
food. A medical journal has advised
dyspeptics to adopt this remedy.
The sand, mingled with the alimen.
tary mass renders it less compact and
makes digestion more easy. This has
become the fashion, and since the
English have begun to eat sand it is
certain that French snobs who initiate
their neighbors across the channel like
monkeys will soon be devouring it.
Besides, gravel for digestive purposes
has been in use by ostriches for a long
time"
Discriminating readers will take
this sand story with many grains of
salt. Whatever else the English con-
stitution may require, it does not
need sand. Everybody is supposed to
eat peck or SO of dirt in the course
of his or her life, and unsuccessful
politicians sometimes have to dine on
crow, but sand as a daily diet is not
likely to become popular among An
glo-Saxons until they develop chicken
craws as we'll as chicken hearts. OF
which there seems just now little indi-
cation. 90

Governor Lowndes.

The last issue of the Financial Re
0ieaO, published in New York pays the
following just tribute to Governor
Lowndes:
New York Republicans view with con-
siderable satisfaction what they re-
gard as a certainty that Governor
Lloyd Lowndes of Maryland will be
the next nominee for Governor, for
they hope to retain Maryland in the
Republican column, and look upon
the Governor as the strongest posi-
BILE candidate to bring about such a
result. Indeed, his record since his
assumption of office has been one
which will be a strong argument for
the party should it place him again
in nomination, and one with which
the Republicans could confidently go
before the people for reimbursement.
He stands high among business men
of his State, has been a partisan yet a
good citizen and Governor, and would,
it is thought, attract many who place
general efficiency above party lines in
so important an Office
