many stories concerning him tells how
on one occasion he was passenger
on a Queensland coasting steamer. AS
usual, when travelling he declined to

fully clothed, boots and all. He had
taken thfther with him, moreover
three loaves of bread upon which tc

beside the iniquity that could and

On the face of it, to unthinking peo-
pie, this section contains what might
be called a square deal for the col

exceedingly doubtful proposition.
Baltimore cisy, with its large cosmo-

to give from 20,0O0to $4,000 against it.
In the city there are at least $1,000
naturalized citizens, who under this

In Baltimore, also, is the greatest op-
position to Senator German. On this
ground alone the independent Demo
Gratis to man may be counted upon
to vote against the amendment.
On the whole the rural communi
ties may be expected to support the
measure. They want relief from the
negro in their town, and county
affairs. They argue that. as they pay
practically all the taxes, the shiftless
portion of the community should
have no say as to public expenditures.

OFFUTT MILLER.
Prominent Merchant Of Oakland Pass

With An IncurabIe Disease-Was
Well And FavOrabIy Known by
flany People In All Sections of the
County.

Aesterdar Wednesday, afternoon
at little after two O'Clock the Dealt,
Angel stole silently into the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Offutt Miller on
Alder street and gently waited the
spirit of Mr.. Miller into the presence
of the One who gives life and claims
it at the allotted time.
The deceased has been a greau and
accomplishing sufferer since early in
the spring when he was attacked with
an ailment which for time puzzled
his physicians but later pronounced
as pernlcious anemia or impoyerish-
ment of the blood
Mr., NJ ;ller was engaged in the mer-
chandise business in Oakland for a
number of years, prior to which time
he clerked for Mr.. Daniel f. Offutt,
his uncle, and later for Mr.. George ".
Legge when the latter was actively
in business.
About twelve years ago he was mar
ried to Miss Ella Peddicord, daughter
of Mr.. Thomas j. Peddicord, of Oak
land. He was son of Mrs. s. M.
Miller, proprietress of the Commercial
Hotel. His wife, mother, one brother
and six sisters survive him.
Mr.. Miller was well and favorabiy
known in Oakland and all sections of
Garrett county. He lad built no a
lucrative business by his Strict and
honorable dealing, his place of bust
ness being located on Oak streetwhers
he recently completed a large and
yesv handsome store building.
No arrangements have as yet been

REPUBLICANS CARRY THE STATE
he Official Returns Show That Roose-
welt and Fairbanks Have PluraIi
ty of 344.

Official returns from Worcester and
Charles counties have been received
at last, over one week after the Off
cial count in every county was com
pleted, and they show THAT seven
Democrats and one Republican will
represent Maryland in the electoral
college. The official returns will now
go to the State Board of Canvassers
which must meet within 30 days after
the election to promulgate the result
in the state.
Mr.. Charles j. Bonaparte is the one
Republican elected, he having receiy-
ed more votes even than any Demo
crat. His'rlurality over Brown, Dem
ocrat, is 344, which also shows that
Roosevelt and Fairbanks carried the
state by that plurality. Mr.. Bona
parte ran so much further ahead OF
his colleagues than Ex-Governor
Brown ahead of his Democratic col.
leagues that all the Democrats are
able to slip in between the leading
Republicans and the others. The
lowest Democratic vote was received
by Mr.. 7. Herbert Shriver, who drops
out to give place to Mr.. Bonaparte,
but Mr.. Shriver's vote was 312 ahead
of Mr.. Bretz's, the next highest Re
publican after Mr.. Bonaparte. Mr.
Shriver is beaten by Mr.. Mudd, Dem.
ocrat, by one vote. The final result
in the state is as follows:

w. j. Bryan.

Towering head and shoulders
above the crowd opposing him,
Mr.. Bryan is easily the noblest
Roman of them all. He is an ideal
American and an ideal Democrat
-~unselfish, sans peur ct sans re-
proche. | know that | honor my
self in honoring him, but the
tribute would be forced in any
event because of it's deserving. |
set down with qualification the
words of Senator VIM. j. Stone in
this connection:
"Among those who took part in
proceedings of the convention Mr..
Bryan was easily and by far the
most commanding figure. He was
fiercely assaulted by men who but
yesterday would have crowned him
king, but he lowered amongst them
as q giant among pygmies. Com
pared to most of them he shone as
a star in comparison with the
phosphorescent CLEAN of lightning
bugs. He is still the greatest
Democrat in America and the idol
of the people. One blast on his
bugle horn is worth a million men,
and the service he will render the
ticket will be worth more than
that of all his detractors combined.
| talked with Mr.. Bryan yesterday.
He will stand by the flag. I know
Judge Parker. He is a high type
of a man. If elected, he will make
a great President. | shall have
many good words to say for him,
but, thank God, | shall not be
found among those who think that
to praise Parker they must abuse
Bryan. I'd rather be a dog and
bay at the moon than such a man"

An interesting story concerning
the deportation of the Colorado
miners is told by the correspond
ent for the Irish World. This CORE
spondent says: "Torn from their
homes and driven out of their own
State at the point of the bayonet,
thirty-six union miners and SYM
pathizers, some of them sick and
barely able to walk, were marched
by soldiers to the border of the
Colorado line and turned loose
with less than a days provisions
on the edge of a desert June 10Th.
Deported from the Cripple Creek
district under the decree of the
mine owners and militia that every
union man would be driven from
the State, the men were carried on
a special train by troops, under
command of Lieutenant Colonel
Kennedy, to the State line, where
they were taken from the train and
marched over the border into New
Mexico, far from any town or
habitation. To each man the
soldiers handed two cans of beans
and a loaf of bread. The men
then were warned never to return
to Colorado. Sick, hungry, home
less, victims ~of might, eXiled,
though convicted of no crime, not
criminals, but workingmen, the
miners faced about as the soldiers
started to march away, and many
of them hurled to the ground the
provisions that had been given
Charles Anderson mounted a stone
that marks the line between the
two States and, taking off his hat
shouted, Give me liberty, or give
me death!' Another began to sing
Sweet Land of Liberty, of Thee
Sing Other miners took up the
song, and Land Where My Faith
ers Died rang in the ears Of thu
soldiers as they climbed back OF
their train. Before the train wa,
out of sight the men resolutely
walked back to the soil of thei
own State. They tramped tc
A%ntonito, five miles north of tn
line, where the citizens furnished
food to them. One man was to,
sick to walk and a wagon was sen
for him."

THE st. Louis Worlds charges
against Folk affect his integrity,
and are so Enthusiastically set out
that do not see how he can ignore
them. After the nomination we
shall all be called upon to refute
them, and it doesn't seem just to
me that the burden he of right is
called upon to assume should be
placed upon our shoulders. If the
said charges are libellous their
refutation ought to be easy to him
who is most directly interested.
To men who know no mans heart,
it will be much more uncertain
and difficult.

FRIDAY evenings st. Louis
Chronicle in speaking of Mr.. Bryan
and the part he played in the con-
vention, says:
The fact is that Bryan gotta good
deal more than the conservatives
wanted to give him, and a good
deal more than anybody expected
he would get. The conservatives
came here, saying that Bryan was
a dead one and that they would
give the corpse as decent a burial
as was possible in a hurry. To
their dismay they found that the
man from Nebraska was the live
lest corpse on record and that he
was far and away the most popu-
lar delegate at the convention.
The remarkable demonstration for
him at yesterdays session of the
convention made the conservative
leaders pause. They not only
want to nominate Parker, but they
also want to elect him, and David
B. Hill is far too schrewd q poll
tician to ALLEVIATE from his candi-
date the Bryan strength. The
figure of Bryan doomed larger than
ever and Cancellation took the
place of determination as the
watchword OF the conservatives.
The result of the battle in the
Resolutions Committee in which
Bryan forced a hostile majority
to leave a gold plank out of the
platform, showed his remarkable
power over men. Parker will be
the standard bearer of the Demo-
cratic party this fall, but Bryan is
the hero of the party and his
praises are on the lips of friend
and foe alike.

MARTIN w. LITTLEToN, who
placed Judge Parker in nominal
ton in the st. Louis convention,
was an elector on the Palmer
Buckner ticket in New York eight
years ago. So the Democrat who
doesn't like Judge Parker's brand
of Democracy need not fear to ex-
press his disapproval at the polls
in November. His standing will
be just a good in a Democratic
Convention eight years hence. Yet
let us not so gauge our Democracy;
but, rather, let US show the "sound
money" boilers of 1S96-1900 that as
we were faithful then so are we
now better Democrats than they.

will serve l say this solely in the
interest of the party, for I have no
preference to urge in the race.
