Editorial Correspondence.
The speech Of Senator Wellington, on
Tuesday evening at the monster meeting in
Cumberland, has produced profound i'm
preston. II seems TO be the general and
absorbing topic Of conversation with all
classes. The Democrats are throwing upthelr
hats and are wild with enthusiasm. Numer
Gus are the predictions they are making OF
the break that ii will make in this Con-
gressional district, as well as the effect 1t
will produce throughout the country. The
Republicans, with blanched, frightened
countenances and open mouths, are panic
stricken at his fearful arraignment Of the
Administration. They realize that they
cannot truthfully contradict any statement
he made.
There is a large element of intelligent
Germans 10 Allegany and Garrett counties
over which Mr. Wellington has exercised
controlling influence ever since his advent
into public life. 1t now remains to be seen
To what extent this influence will be felt on
the 9th Of November. IL is rumored that
be- is to make a speech IN the "Cove," In
this county. This is the center OF large
and wealthy German settlement. 1t is one
of the most cultivated sections Of the county.
| did not hear Mr.. Bryan at Cumberland,
but he was just splendid, grand at Keyser,
W. Va. His voice rose at times like
mountain bugle echoing above the storm,
awakening patriotic impulses in the blossoms
of all. The vast multitude which greeted
him, under his mighty effort, rocked 10 and
fro like the maddened pillows OF an angry
ocean. He is not only a great and MASTER
fol speaker, but he is a statesman and an
honest patriot, a defender of our institu-
tons as handed down to us by those men
who taught eternal principles In the in
fancy Of this Republic, and the fearless
tribune of the masses. He is Cromwell
without his ambition, Sylla without his
crimes.
The nomination of Major Chas. E Little,
of Hagerstown, as the Democratic Congress
sional nominee of the Sixth District, is re-
ceived here with much of popular favor.
His ability and ripe and long experience at
the bar, his iealty and service to the party, his
force as popular speaker, his character as
man, and his record as brave and daunt-
less soldier in the Spanish war are recog-
nized here with warmth and enthusiasm,
and it is confidently predicted that he will
make fearful inrosds upon the Republican
ranks. Although the district is strongly
Republican, and whilst Colonel Pearre is a
man OF acknowledged ability and brilliancy,
he will find no smooth roads In this canvass.
Stalwarl Democrats are loud in the asser-
ton that the district has been carried by
Hamilton, Richie, Hamill, and twice each
by Walsh and McKaig, and it can, by proper
exertion, be carried again. Hon. Gilmore
Hamill, Of Oakland, who is a strong speaker
and one OF the electors at large for the State,
will assist Major Little throughout the dis
trict, and also speak in other portions Of the
State.
The Democrats are forming clubs in every
district in the county, which are largely at
tended Garrett went for Judge Blair by a
small majority, and some Of our friends are
so enthusiastic over the general outlook as
To predict 1t will go Democratic in Novem-
ber RAMBLER.
