The regular Democrats are bitter
against G. S. Hamill since he signed
the call for the insurgents court
house meeting on the same evening
after his return from Cumberland,
where he called to see Judge Boyd
They also accuse him of preparing the
call. They claim that he has been the
absolute boss of their party for more
than 20 years, as well as a candidate
for Office oftener than any other man
now living in the county. For the last
Is or 20 years he has been candidate
of his party for the office of states at
torney whenever that Office was to be
filled, with but one exception, and that
was wnen Edward Mitchell was the
candidate.
The regulars also state that the in
surgent Democrats are opposing the
Straus amendment Some say they
propose trading their votes against the
amendment for Republican votes for
BOYD. / e already bitter feeling
against the insurgents for wrecking
their party under the leadership of
Hamill, when they believe there was a
chance of electing some local candi-
dates, has been intensified by the insur-
gent attitude on the amendment, and
in the way Of retaliation may result in
a heavy cut by the regulars on Judge
Boyd.
Sloan has behind him the united sup
port of the Republican members of the
bar association Of this county. At
tempted outside interference by com
munications to the local newspapers
has made MIR. Sloan many friends.

Gone to Conference.

Tuesday morning Rev. J. B. Work
man, pastor of St. Paul M. f. church
in Oakland for the past five years, left
here for Warrington, where he will at
tend the Xty-third annual conference
of his church until next Monday, when
the sessions will close. The first dav s
session was held yesterday when Rev.
Workman was reelected secretav for
the ensuing year. Rev. Luther B.
Wilson, formerly of Baltimore is the
presiding Bishop. At the Sunday even
ing services held in ST. Paul churcn,
Mr.. Workman announced that he ex-
pected to ask the conference for
change of appointment.
AS pastor of the church Mr., Work
man has received into membership a
total of one hundred and siXty-five.
The present membership of the church
is three hundred and twenty-four. He
has preached over seven hundred ser
mons in Oakland; has made more than
three thousand pastoral visits. His
work IN Oakland has been highly appre-
ciated and he is esteemed by all who
know him. There has been and is yet
perfect harmony between the pastor
and his congregation and the severance
of the tie which has been drawn closer
as Mr.. Workman services have be-
come more and more appreciated will
be matter of sincere regret. We trust
that should he be removed as pastor
from Oakland that his lines may fall in
pleasant places Mr. Workman was
accompanied to Warrington by Rev. J.
o. Bolton, of the Mountain Lake Park
charge. Rev. X. b. Ward, who also
closes his six years tenure of Office as
superintendent of the Oakland District,
went to Warrington on train No. 50
Tuesday afternoon. Under the church
law Dr. Ward cannot be reappointed
for another term as superintendent and
as in the case of Mr. Workman his re-
moval from Oakland will be deeply re-
GREETED.

If Judge Boyd was sincere and in
earnest and meant what ne said when
he wrote the above words, then, in ill
honor, justice and fairness, the Repub-
licans of the Fourth Judicial Circuit call
upon MIN to publicly repudiate, deny
and stamp with the seal of his disap-
provai the above Infamous falsehood
which puts in the mouth of the Repub-
lican nominee words which ne never
thought, much less uttered. The Dem
ocratic nominee for Judge must either
repudlate this story or prove it true or
make public the name Of its author, or
else stand convicted of willingness to
allow falsehOods to be publicly circulated
IN his interest. If he follows any other
course and by his silence approves. rat
iijes and adopts as his own this anonym-
Gus WllIiication of the Republican nom
inee for the bench, then the voters of
Garrett, Allegany and Washington
counties can but believe with regret
that Judge Boyd's plea in his letter Of
acceptance, uttered in behalf Of justice,
truth and fair play, was meant only to
reserve protection TO himself and deny
it to his opponent. And the people will
not permit the Democratic party to elect
its nominee nv Such methods

cans. One ProhibItionist and
Five Democrats.

convention was held in the court house
last Thursday afternoon when a ticket
was placed in the field to be voted for
at the election in November next.
Primaries for the selection of dele
gates to this gathering were held in but
seven Of the districts of the county on
the Saturday preceding. but in order to
make as great showing as possible peo-
pie were persuaded to attend the con-
vention from six additional districts,
making thirteen of the fourteen dis
tricts represented in the convention,
district No, being the only one not
represented. trssst =
The delegates were largely composed
of Democrats who have been without
the pale of the party organization for
some months past, few Republicans.
who desired to be nominated by the con-
vention of their party when it was held
in Oakland some weeks ago, and half
dozen Prohibitionists who are members
of that party from principle.
The convention was called to order by
Mr.. Harvey N Cuppett, Of Loeb Lynn
Heights, who is a pronounced Prohibi-
zionist and who was a candidate on his
party's ticket two years ago for the
House of Delegates. William Spiker,
of Deer Park, and W. F. King. of Oak
land, Democrats, were secret aries. Mr..
G. S. Hamill, Of Oakland, addressed the
meeting, and as he is reputed to be the
sponsor for the so-called independent
ticket, he is in great measure RESPONSE
bic for its personnel, as follows:
For State Senate, George L. Michaels,
whose name was submitted to the Re
publican convention for nomination for
the House of Delegates. and who re-
ceived hut three votes in that body.
For House Of Delegates, Harvey n.
Cuppett, Plohibitionist, and William T.
Stanton, eX-Democrat.
Sheriff, John O, Thayer.
County Commissioners, Thomas II.

former Republicans. Mr.. Layman
served as County Commissioner for
eight years and Immediately after his

this year, but expected his name to be

turned to their homes pretty sore.

Little Sadie Paugh, the five, year-o!d
daughter Of mir and Mrs. John Paugh.
of Walnut Bottom, died early Tuesday
morning from a malignant attack of
diphthelia. Two other cases nave
broken out in the same neighborhood in
the family Of MIR James Nelson.
Mr.. James Rowe was hurriedly called
to Blaine by telegram on last Wednes-
day afternoon on account of the report
ed fatal injuries sustained by his half
brother, Mr.. Jesse Hartley, while at
work in the Hamlll mine, near that
place. Mr.. Hartley was working at
the breast of the coal when a rock
weighing about 200 pounds fell from
the roof, striking him across the loins
and crushing him to the pavement. The
result Of his injuries cannot be foretold
for few days, but strong hopes are
entertained by his physicians for his
ultimate recovery. One year ago his
brother, Mr. Charles Hartley, was
caught in the same mine in similar
manner, but under a much heavier fall
of rock, and survived his injuries only
few hours.
Mr.. Harry Coffman and Miss Bessie
Brendlin, lovers during their school
days, faithful and true through the few
short intervening years, immensely
popular with the younger set and we'll
liked and respected by the older ones of
this community, eloped to Cumberland
Wednesday, where they were married.
The happy couple returned to Blaine
the same afternoon, where they will
make their future home. The groom is
telegraph operator for the w. NJ R.
R., at Harrison.
Mr. Matthew Watson, boss driver at
the Buxton mine, narrowly escaped be-
ing killed last Friday evening He was
riding mule from the mine to the
cOmpany's stables and while crossing
the county bridge which spans the in
cline plane and the ravine near the
mouth of the mine, the mule broke
through the rotten and insecure floor Of
the bridge. The end of a loose board
flew up, striking Mr.. Watson on the
right side with such force that he was
knocked from the mule and narrowly
escaped being thrown over the bridge
and killed. AS it was, he sustained
very painful and ugly dislocation of the
right elbow and numerous bruises about
his body. The accident was due to the
condition of the bridge which is known
far and wide to the travelling public as
being unsafe. Mr.. Watson will enter a
suit for damages against the supervisor
of roads as soon as he is able to get
around.
