Republicans were the appellants against
the fraud. The fraud was sustained. In
the campaign of 1896 the Democrats pro.
posed u repetition of that fraud, but
were scared out of it by threats of repri-
sails Ill kind. In that campaign the DEM
oCrats undertook, upon a general charge
Of corruption and bribery, to overthrow
the entire State election. The outrages
committed in this county make one of
the blacklist pages in its political history.
The stories told about it, and preserved
IN the records, are marvels of political
romances. In Kent and Sussex coun.
ties the wholesale fraud succeeded,
Charging fraud upon ballots that were
rs clean as any ballots ever cast, and
upon elections that were as honest as
any ever held, the votes of every district
won by the Republicans were thrown
ont. Democrats who were defeated
were declared elected and the whole
State authority was usurpcd. In the
trial which followed that great fraud,
and which continued for year, the Re-
publlcans were the appellants against
the fraud and were sustained by the
Court.
This brief history shows that the Re-
publicans have been the opponents Of
bribery and corruption in politics in
this State, that they have won every
case which came to trial, and that they
have been sustained by the Courts in
the most exhaustive investigation and
trial of this sort that has ever taken
place in this State. 1t shows that Rep
rcscntative Moore's motion for an in
veSt!Gation Of the Hearn charge is in line
with the policy and history of the Union
Republican party. 1t assures the vindi-
cation of the Republicans from this, az
from all other charges of the kind.
The Democrats were good at making
charges Of bribery and fraud; good At
raising a howl over their charges, but
have never yet been able to make them
good in court or under investigations,

Clay Creek Hundred says the Re-

election Of two Senators, allowing
the Unioulsts and Regular to make
such selection as they think best.
He said there are not half dozen
earnest Republicans in the Hundred
opposed to this plan and they don't
understand why Mr.. Chandler does
not conform to their desires and
vote to end controversy that may
lead 20 defeat at the next election.
1t is strange that Mr. Chandler
should disappoint the great ma or-
ity OF his constituents in refusing
to vote with the majority and thus
keep open question that may end
in the defeat of the party and the
election OF two Democrats to the L.

among the men who prefer the de-
feat OF the party to the successful
rying out of the proposition OF
the Union Republicans.

TRADE WITH SCOTLAND.
MaIke Gained for Many of Our Manu-
factures,

The bureau Of foreign commerce of the
State Department has made public ad-
vance sheets of Commercial Relations for
1900, which deal with American trade in
Scotland. The tide of American imports
into Scotland, 1t is stated, steadily rises
This is true not only of our food products,
which are in almost universal demand but
also of a numerous variety Of manufac-
lures. During the past year the quantity
Of American goods in the markets of east
ern Scotland has been much larger than
ever before and the volume of trade visibly
greater. The market which has been gain
ed for many lines of our manufactures is
permanent one, 1T Is stated. A growing
preference for American goods is held ac-
countable for this very encouraging state
of affairs in Scotland. 1t Is pointed out
that while the Scotsman Is a somewhat
fastidious buyer, he becomes q most de-
voted and profitable customer when once
assured Of the merits of an article offered
for sale. 1t is this phase of the Scottish
character which has prompted American
exporters and manufacturers to consider
this commercial field as one apart from
England, and to deal with it accordingly.
Social and economic conditions it is said,
have not been affected by the South Afri-
can war Business in nearly all mercantile
lines has been active, but the denression in
the iron and steel trade resulting from the
high prices of raw material and fuel, as
well as from American, German and Bel
gran competition, Will, 1t Is feared, soon be
severely felt in industrial communities
OF the great number of articles which the
United States now sends regularly to Scot
land, perhaps the most marked increase,
| except in food products, has been noted in
the sale OF hardware Our woodward has
also secured an important position in this
market. Other American productions which
are gradually mounting to higher favor are
American furniture, boots and shoes, rub
Der goods, machinery and tools wire and
wire goods (whose Importation last year
doubled that of 1880, leathSr = oil, clocks
and watches. paints. drugs and chemicals,
organs, glassware, confectionery and a
| number of other articles About 4. 600 beams
and plates needed in the construction of
the new North British railway station in
Edinburgh were supplied by the United
| States. vast increase in the importation
of American barley since 1899 has been
noted. and decrease in the import of corn.
There is a growing trade In fruits, meats
and nearly all articles OF food.

Ing, after two days of continuous enthuSi-

ing slowly all day toward the northern part
of the state, Saturday and Sunday to be
spent at Del Monte and nearly all of next
week at San Francisco. We are still in the

in carriages decorated with the choicest of
flowers and the most beautiful of silk and
satin ribbons LuXuriance of verdure
seems to go hand in hand with full pocket
books and prosperity.
The receptions to the President have been
conducted on scales that cost money, but
the Californians have the full treasures to
do this, and they like to do it. Everywhere
their orchards bearing fruits, their
fields are full of grain, their cattle are
browsing contentedly on juicy grasses on
the mountain sides and in the valleys, their
gardens are producing beans for the east

Curious Mixtures in Population.
No place in southern California is with
out it's share of this kind of population.
Here along the immediate coast the early
Spanish settlers and the Digger Indians in
termarried and left a curiously mixed popu-
lation. Most of them are without that en-
ergy that characterizes the people from the
states who came out here years ago and
who give to the coast all the energy that it
has. Years ago these natives owned big
ranches and thousands of acres of lands
Gradually they have let these rich lands go

Entertainment at Fort Myer.

The large assembly hall at Fort Myer, Va,
was filled to overflowing Wednesday even
ing by officers and men of the garrison and
a large delegation from this city, represent
ing the Fort Myer executive committee,
under whose auspices entertainment
was given, consisting of cornet solos, by
Robert Bruce Maxwell; a plano solo, by
Miss Matte Adams; soprano solos by Miss
w. L. Wilson and Miss Mary Kimball, re-
spectively; a duet, by Mrs. Wilson and one
of her pupils, Miss Juliet l.. Winfield: solos
by Mr.. Dana c. Holland and Mr.. Mcclure,
and recitations and readings by Mr. David
c. Bangs. Miss Bullough was Mr.. Max
wells accompanist, while Miss Lillian Bai-
ley served in that capacity for Mrs. VIII
son. Miss Winfield and Mr.. Holland. The
soloists were in excellent voice, and thear
selections well merited the enthusiastic ap-
plause bestowed, while the cornet solos by
Mr.. Maxwell Zone of whose numbers, "Aeri
the piano solo by Miss Adams, were rem
dered in a manner that ELECTED the warm
est praise from the audience. Mr. Bangs
in humorous and pathetic selections earned
many recalls.
MIR. Page l.. Zimmerman was in charge
of the exercises, and at the close of the
program led the audience and all present
in the singing of America" as a fitting
finale to most enjoyable entertainment.
Chaplain Pierce of Fort Myer in few
words expressed the thanks of the gar11-
son to the committee and the participants
in the program, which was approved upon
his call. by a rousing chorus Of ayes
from those present
