For harmony.

The county convention which meets
August 9Th. will undoubtedly nomi.
nate winning ticket. There will be
no directors directing what shall or
shall not be done. The will VI the
delegates assembled viii rule. aud this
is good and proper. No ring" will
boss" this time. But those VINO have
been accused of being in ring will
be found ct their post of duty work
ing hard for the success OF the entire
ticket.
The republicans of the county should
attend the convention whether thev
are delegates or not. They have a
perfect right to see what il going Oh.
and to offer any suggestions which
might be useful to the delegates in
helping them TO make mp their mind
whom to support.
Strong, well-informed business men
should be nominated for the various
offices whether they are the che Ice of
dtl III bbC hrIcRdbCc vi uDb. ANU I'll II
after the ticket is made out each man
should commence TO work with migI t
and main for its success in November.
We have no sympathy with man
who will fight a member of his own
parry OF the polls. In the convention
is the place for war, il war there
must be. Men vote for principles !,
net men. and the sooner this is fully
realized the sooner dissension will dis
appear. Such thing as political enc
c.ies in the same party, after the ticket
is named, is entirely out of pace If
"a man cannot always have his own
way, II it right for him to be con-
stanttly abusing an innocent person?
Let everv republican,, therefore. who
has his party ut Ieut bury past prisv-
naces. return to the old land marks.
shoplter political respe billy, and
stand for principle. Then shall this
county roll uD is normal republican
majority Of go. aud The democrats
can tel one another chow 1t hap
pened."

,and Park, at Harpers Ferry. was
be opened for picnics after Thursday,
the officials of the Baltimore q Ohio
having changed their minds very sud
denly. 1t was stated during the early
part of the season that the park would
not be open. as all of the buildings
needed repairs and that the revenue
from the excursions was not sufficient
to make the repairs. Committees
from several organizations from this
city corresponded with the officials OF
the company for picnics there, but
they could not get rates. What caus-
ed the change in the action is not

Affesward Fonnd That He was
= Gay, Giddy Deceiver.

Henry Beckley, we'll known farmer
OF Berkeley county, living inst across
the river from Williamsport, was in
Hagerstown Tuesday endeavoring to
trace man who sold him sewing
machine and received in payment a
difference of SLIGO hetgee the cost
OF the new machine he was to get and
never got, and the old machine, which
the agent was to take in exchange.
Mr.. Beckley exhibited the receipt Civ
ING him by the man. vino signed his
name u. NJ. Wilson" Where be Ii
Mr.. BeckIey does not know and SO
far all Of his efforts to identify him
have failed.
1t was on June 10 last that the man
went to Mr.. Beckley's house and ac-
cording to the latter he represented
to be en- agent for the well known
firm of Sears, Roebuck q Co., of
Chicago. He was selling sewing
machines at a price calculated to cause
persons to buy Mr.. Beckley decided
that he needed new machine and
bargained with the fellow, Mr.. Beck
lev to give his old machine and pay
the above sum He was TO receive
the new machine within short time,
but five weeks have elapsed and the
machine has not vet arrived.
What is more, Mr.. Beckley does not
expect to get his new machine as after
waiting a reasonable length of time he
wrote to the firm of Sears, Roebuck q
Go. explaining the affair and received
a reply that the firm does not have
aug agents out selling machines or
ANYTHING else and if any persons are
representing themselves as the firms
agents they are fakes.
Mr.. Beckley stated that the man
also represented himself to be rela-
tive of the family of the same name
in this CITY. but he called upon mem
beers Of the family and they disclaimed
having any knowledge of such a man.
He called ON Mr.. Ditto. a neighbor
of Mr.. Beckley, and tried to sell him
harness or a sewing machine. but Mr..
Ditto was not in the buying humor.
When the agent left that section
lie was last seen driving rapidly to-
ward the river.

why You shouId support Roosevelt


This campaign has advanced no
Political issues which deeply stir the
popular mind. The democrats have
cast aside the money issue entirely.
The tariff does not receive as much at
tention as formerly. No ono knows
on what ground the democrats hope to
get into power.
Mr.. Bryan would seek to stir up the
Issue of imperialism. bat no one
shows any dispos' ton to reoTe this
question. 1t seems Il at tue attack
will be- maze npon Theodore Rooso'
vet, but the better ca of people
know full we'll that MIR. Roosevelt is
not the dangerous Llan thew oepict
him TO bs. His bold, courageous dis.
nos,Iion has shown him TO le man trre
to his rCny lotions.
We give herewith "a few reasons why
the people should support Mr. Roose'
velt in preference Of Judg4 p rker.
The trusts do not want Mr.. Roosevelt (;
they want Judge IA ker.
Tho republican platform sta'es spsci-
fie it's meaning on public Issues; tue
de mo ratio platform Gays much and
meaus little.
Tie republican platform stands out
in The OH and says: "Hele l am.
You can either take @ or leave me -
the democratic platform don't say
ANYTHING like this.
Roosevelt stands self-reliant in his
American manhood, independent,
courageous and unpurchaseable ;
Par ker is tie mouthpiece of August
Belmont. the greatest corrupter of
politics in New York.
The great issue this time is the man,
and Roosevelt represents that in all
his courage and all it's Americanism ;
Parker is the automatic represer alive
OF the machine.
Roosevelt stands for the rights of
the colored race; Parker stands for
DISTINGUISHING the colored voter,
Roosevelt stands for the down-trod-
den, the oppressed. the disfranchised
Parker stands on platform which
adds an insult to injury by denominat.
ing an effort to do justice to the
black man as an attempt to kindle
anew racial and factional strife.
Roosevelt is owned by no corpor
alton; Parker was nominated by the
trusts.
