The Republican Nominees.
ditor of The Republican.

Some of the finest farms in the county
are found here. The buildings are
large and commodious; the farmers
prosperous, progressive and intelli-
gent. Like all agricultural commu-
mites the people are moral, thrifty
and contented.
This is the home of the head of the
Republican ticket. Here the Senator
knows and is known by everyone.
The kindly greetings and constant
salutations as he passes through the
streets of this lively village evidences
the great good will and esteem of the
community. He is popular among
all classes and has no enemies. He is
and has been the family physician of
the entire population. His field of
practice covers large section of the
county and he is frequently called to
adjoining counties. The Doctor is
skilled surgeon and successful physi-
clan. He has performed many diff
cult and delicate operations in this
community. He is specially success
full in surgery. 1t is, indeed, treat
to visit the happy, hospitable home
of this worthy family. tits here that
the Doctor appears to greatest ad-
vantage. He is an admirable host.
His house, planned and built by him
self, is cozy, comfortable and con-
venient. His amiable and accom-
plished wife is not only past master
in all the arts of housewifery but ably
assists the Doctor in his profession
and is second only to the Senator in
that most delicate of all arts, politics
or pleasing the people. Many assert
that the Senator's phenomenal sue
cess politically and professionally is
largely owing to this interesting lady.
The Doctor is devoted husband and
father; his greatest happiness found
amidst his family and friends in his
beautiful and happy home.
The ancestry of the Senator is
sturdy stock-Marylanders for gen
erations. His father was born in AL
legany county, the Senator within
the limits of Garrett county during
the dark days of the civil war when
the life of the nation was threatened,
our land deluged with fraternal blood.
His people were among the first to
rush to the rescue; not only loyal to
the great cause but active in aiding
to suppress the rebellion.
The Senator's course in the Senate
has been particularly distinguished
by his advocacy of the principles of
that great party which saved the
Union. His speeches delivered dur
ing the late extra session of the Leg
islature are among the ablest and
most exhaustive against the enact
ment of that most infamous ballot
law, whereby many of our most
worthy citizens are robbed of their
most sacred rights. He says: "The
extra session of the Legislature foist-
ed upon the people the unholy dis
reimbursement law and the enormous
expense of a new State census at an
aggregate cost of $3.50, 900 to the tax
payers, both measures to be used for
the exclusive benefit of the Demo
cratic party and the politicians in
that party who are seeking to adj
vance their personal interests ire
spective of the rights and the robbery
of the people, the humiliation and
degradation inflicted upon the citi-
zens of the commonwealth. We can
not that the liberty loving PEOPLE of
Garrett county will consent to this
political slavery and social discrimi-
nation against yourselves, your neigh
bors, fathers and families, which will
result, if the Democratic party shall
be given the power through major
ity in the Legislature, to still further
debase the election machinery and
the rights of franchise in the county
and State.n
The Senator opens the canvass of
this county at Strickland school house
in District No. II on Wednesday, the
l 9th inst. He will visit every district
in the county, accompanied by ora
tors of national and local reputation.
The party is thoroughly organized,
confident and enthusiastic 1t is pre-
dicted the majority will not be less
than one thousand. Sullen, silence
and deep indignation prevails in the
camp of Democracy. The betrayal
of that party by its leaders will be re-
buked. OCCASIONAL.
