HARDLY FAIR.

The Republicans have nominated
their county ticket, and we must say
50 lar as this District is concerned,
that they were hardly fair in ignor-
ing the claims of the aspirant for
county treasurer, Mr. Beachley.
Independent from any reason why
Mr.. Beachley should or should not
have had the nomination, Mechan-
icstown District as rule plays very
important part in helping elect the
Republican candidates, and we say
the district should have been consld-
cred. We believe this meek OF the

'loaves and fishes" Push your
claims harder the next time gentle
men and the powers that be- can't
and won't ignore you.

proprietors of the Monocacy Valley Can

Mr.. Staley has heard of Thurmont but
has never had the pleasure of visiting the

ering from severe illness and was ad-
vised to come to Thurmont for rest. Mr..
Staley is charmed with the town, and OF
the country along the line of the w., F.

that the water at Thurmont alone should
be an inducement for people to summer
here.
1t is pleasure to have persons such
as Mr.. Staley say these things of our
town. 1t is good advertising, and we
hope that Mr.. Staley's coming will in
duce other Frederick people to come out
