In all these elements of greatness
Bryan resembles Blaine, except in the
greater accuracy of the formers learn
ing and the profounder quality of his
mind. But where Blaine was weak
Bryan is strong. Blaine represents
the craftsmanship of expediency, Bry-
an that Of principles. In the quality
Of moral courage and devotion to
ideals Bryan is ideal Bryan has all
the substantial elements of character
which Blaine possessed and happily
for his party and his fame he has
none of those temperamental weak
nesses which injured the party and
which compromise the fame of Blaine.

This declaration suggested the
points of similarity and difference IN
the personality and character and
craftsmanship Of Bryan and Blaine.
That James G. Blaine had a PERSONAL
ity so engaging and commanding as to
inspire immediate admiration and to
win lasting respect is the admission OF
his bitterest foe. He was magnetic. In
wit. ready, in speech, eloquent, in am
bition, great, in manners, affable, in
learning, not profound nor accurate,
nor yet superficial, but well informed
and always able to make the best pos
sible use of what he knew and of what
he had, James G. Blaine was gifted
by nature for parliamentary leader
ship. Not since William Pitt has he
had a superior, if, indeed. peer, il
that respect.

Dead Baby Found in the River.

Saturday afternoon about four
O'Clock boy named Dumire was fish
ing at point few hundred feet
north of the Big Youghiogheny River
bridge over which the tracks of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad pass
when he noticed bundle floating on
the surface of the water. The atten-
ton of Track Foreman Jacob Morri-
son was called to it by the boy who
upon investigating found that the
bundle contained the headless re-
mains of female infant Direct ly
beneath the body was found the head
of the child which had in some way
gotten out of the paper in which it
had been wrapped.
AS soon as possible after the dis
covery of the body Mr.. Morrison mott
fed Coroner Gender who summoned
jury or inquest. The finding of the
jury was that the child had come to
its death at the hands of some person
unknown.
Physicians in attendance upon the
inquest stated that the head had been
severed from the body by some sharp
instrument, and that at the time of
its death it was about ten days old.
1t was the opinion of the physicians
that the body had been in the water
several weeks.
The remains were wrapped in heavy
express paper which bore the name
of some person residing in New York
City. The clothes in which it was
dressed were of fine material and con-
sisted of a complete outfit The body
was buried on Sunday morning by
Undertaken Bolden.
How the body came to be in the
river is of course a mystery and may
always remain such. Various theor-
les are INDUCED in however, the most
feasible one being that it was thrown
from moving train.

Democratic Meeting in Oakland,

Major Little, Democratic candidate
for Congress from this district, and a
number of lesser lights in the local
Democracy, pounded at the air, forty
five ladies, thirty Republicans and
fifteen Democratic voters at the Dem
ocratic meeting held in Offutt's Hall
in Oakland on last Friday night.
The same old worn out arguments
against the Republican party were
INDUCED in by the speakers, one of
them going so far as to make the
statement that should President Nc
Kinley be reelected an army of 300, 900
soldiers would be in the field in less
than three years. This statement on
the part of the speaker was mere pre-
sumption. The people of Oakland
and Garrett county are not so densely
ignorant as to believe such rot, and
it is question if the speaker himself
believed it.

Lees friends advised him 10 get
married again, but he said he had no
time to go courting. So they put an
advertisement in one of the country
papers. describing the blacksmiths
plight and his great need OF wife.
Throughout the continent newspapers
copied the s,ory. and one morning. five
weeks ago. the blacksmith received his
first consignment of twenty letters
