Relative of North Point Hero.

A most interesting character is DR..
j. Lee McComas, of Oakland, Md, who
is spending few days at the Eutaw
House. He is relative of that young
Baltimore hero who, with Wells. is said
to have shot General Ross at North
Point. DR.. McComas was formerly an
assistant surgeon in the United States
Army. After his graduation in 1855 he
began practice at Berkeley Springs, w.
Va, and later at Oakland, where he
was physician in attendance at the Oak
land and Deer Park Hotels. He was a
friend of the late John w. Garrett,
president of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company. He attended some
of the greatest men of their times who

the suffrage amendment aims to elimi-
nate this element, we declare it to be
dangerous measure and while its ar
dent advocates are declaring that it
will save the people of Maryland from
the awful horror of negro domination
all may be sure that it is an ingenious
plan to infiict upon the people the far
more terrible scourge of Democratic
domination and un-American tyranny.
No true Republican can support a
scheme so fraught with evil conse-
quences and we trust that no nominal
Republican will endanger his own right
of suffrage by voting for the adoption
of this amendment, and we also believe
that no honorable and fair minded Dem
ocrat will soil his own conscience and
the honor of his party by supporting
a movement 50 distasteful TO every true
American citizen, regardless Of political
views and preferences.

SUIT ENTERED BY GILM0R S
HAMILl.

On Saturday morning last the editor
of THE REPUBLICAN was served with a
summons to answer the suit of Gilmor
S. Hamill in the Circuit Court for Gar
rett county. The record fails to dis
close the nature of Mr. Hamill's COM
plant, but it is currently reported that
his grievance arises out of news article
which appeared in the last issue of The
REPUBLICAN giving an account of Mr..
Hamill's connection with the sO-called
Peoples Party movement.
We suppose Mr.. Hamill, whenever
the notion strikes him, has the right to
bring suit, as the Courts of Maryland
are open to all of her citizens to right
their wrongs whenever ard wherever
they will, but sometimes some of her
citizens resort to the courts for sup
posed and imaginary grievances, and
they afterwards find out that they have
not been wronged at all.
The REPUBLICAN has not lbeled Mr..
Hamill, and has not made itself or its
owner liable to Mr.. Hamill in this in
stance, but we suppose it will require
the verdict of the court to convince the
gentleman that he has misconceived his
rights in this matter.
If Mr.. Hamill is trying to run
bluff" he will find that he will be
'called." If he has brought his suit
for the purpose of giving vent to his
personal animosity towards the editor
of THE REPUBLICAN, the sooner the
case is brought to trial the sooner the
people of the county will know the cause
for this outbreak.
We court legal investigation OF the
causes of Mr.. Hamill's complaint.
If Mr.. Hamill thought to close the
mouth; of this paper with his suit he
has simply counted without his host, for
since he has assumed leading part in
this new political propaganda which is
affecting few people in Garrett coun-
ty, he must expect criticism of his pub
lie andspolitical acts, and we give him
notice here and now that we shall con-
tinue to criticise such acts and conduct
on his part, in a fair and justifiable
way, even if ne sees fit to bring suit
against US once a week from now until
this time next year, and we shall try to
take .care of the liability attached to
our acts.

was corrected and the ballot boxes eX-
changed and all went off satisfactorily.
A valuable COW, belonging to c. E.

of young clover on last Saturday morn
ing and as result died a few minutes
after she was driven from the field.
