Forty-eight years ago next summer the Republican party was born in Phil- adelphia. Since that time it has con- ducted twelve campaigns for the pres- idency. In nine of these it has been successful. The first time it lost was its first campaign when a new, untried party, it failed to secure the confidence of the people to a sufficient extent to win, and Freemont and Dayton, as nominees, were defeated by Buchanan and Breckenridge, the Democratic nom- inees, and the last nominees of that | party to be elected for twenty-eight years, The next national convention of the Republican party waa held in Chicago and nominated Lincoln and Hamlin. Their great victory and the resultant eivil war are known to all who are at all conversant with this country’s his- tory. The party again made its popu- lar war president its candidate, with Andrew Johnson for his running mate, the convention which nominated them being held in Baltimore. The fourth convention met in Chicago in 1868 and nominated Grant and Colfax. The fifth at Philadelphia in 1872, renomi- nated Grant and nominated Wilson as vice-presidential candidate. Hayes and Wheeler were nominated at Cin- cinnati in 1876, and Garfield and Arthur at Chicago in 1880. The first Republican candidates after Freemont and Dayton to be defeated at the polls were Blaine and Logans the Plumed Knight and Black Jack Logan of civil war fame. The defeat was a hard blow to Blaine, who all his life had aspired tothe presidency, but had been turned down again and again in convention in favor of some other aspirant. He never fully recovered from the blow of his defeat. Both the Republican party and the people profited by the lessons taught them during the four years’ reign of Grover, and in 1888 Benjamin Harrison and Levi P. Morton, nominated in Chicago, had little difficulty in carry- ing the day. The Minneapolis conven- tion in 1892 named Harrison and Reid as standard bearers, but the people prefefred “four years more of Grover,” and the Republican party again, for the third and last time during its forty- eight years of existence, went down in defeat. At St. Louis in 1898 McKinley and Hobart were named. They were elected. In 1900, at Philadelphia, Mec- Kinley was renominated and Roosevelt was put upto run with him. And next year at Chicago Roosevelt and some fitting running mate will be nominated, to be triumphantly elected next November. It will be the party’s thirteenth convention, but whatever ill luck the number may bring will un- doubtedly be brought to whatever par- ties and candidates constitute the op- position.—Topeka Herald. eet eee.

The following is handed out by the Meyersdale Republican: Undergbis head J. B. Oder, the vet- eran editor of the Frostburg Journal, gives his readers the following mathe- mat’.-! problem, and, as the parties namd are oth residents of this viein- ity, we trust that our mathematicians will set their thinkers “a-thunkin’” and try to solve the same for this well known newspaper man, whe is nothing if not original. We trust that you will be prompt in sending in your answers, directing them to the Mining Journal, Frostburg, Md. Monday, December 21, last, W. T. Hoblitzell, of Meyeridale, Pa., was 50 years old. Same day Hon. Peter Longevity Liv- engood, editor of the Salisbury (Pa.) Star, was 40. Hoblitzell, it will be seen, had 25 per cent. advantage. Ten years ago he had 33% per cent, 20 years ago 50 per cent., and “30 years ago” 100 per cent. Ten years hence Hoblitzell will have 20 per cent. advantage, 20 years 1635 per cent,, and 30 years hence only 1234 per cent, As there is some feeling broadcast that Pennsylvania editors will not reach “the better land,” the question is —wher or where will Livengood “catch up?” To the Journal Tue Star has this to say: The birthday of the two promi- nent gentlemen aforesaid is Dec. 14th, and not Dee. 21st, and here another question arises. If Editor Oder can’t tell the truth in this world, what’s go- ing to become of him in the next? And in the language of Holy Writ, if the righteous (which includes Pennsylva- nia editors) scarcely be saved, where will the ungodly (which includes ali Maryland editors) appear? : The So-called Citizens’ Ticket. The so-called citizens’ caucus con- vened in Hay’s opera house, Tuesday evening, and nominated the following persons for the various borough offices : Judge of Election, John Schramm. Inspector, Perry Wahl. Town Council, Elijah Newman and Frank Petry. School Directors, Dr. A. M. Lichty and Lester Boucher. Assessor, T. Glotfelty. Auditor, Ed. Reitz. Street Commissioner, Norman New- man. Lester Boucher was chairman of the caucus, and as fast as the slated candi- dates were nominated, “Shine” Fogle would jump up and move that the nominations be closed, which would carry a per prearrangement of Chris Lichlitér, in whose hands Fogle is but a mere tool. The Democrats got but three measly little nominations, and there is a great howl going up among them, as it is plain to see that their party has been sold out. Of the Republicans nominated, none of them were present but Boucher and Newman, and in all there were 55 peo- ple present, nearly one-half of them being there merely as spectators and newspaper reporters. As to the respective merits of the candidates, we have nothing to say. As to that the people may judge for themselves; but as to the caucus, it was a great “fizzle” as a citizens’ affair, and it took hard persuading, canvassing and driving for the promoters to get some of their dupes to attend. . The Republicans will meet in the opera house to-night and try to nomi- nate a winning ticket. Sound Logie. The Frostburg Mining Journal crowds a big lot of good logic into the follow- ing few short paragraphs: The Journal very seriously doubts the wisdom of the newspaper policy of “lecturing” the miners of the Meyers- dale or any other field while we have peace at home. In the first place, there is so far no call for such strictures here. In the second, it is not respected by those to whom it is ostensibly address- ed, and— In-the third, it is irritating to bhun- dreds, otherwise contented, who believe it is:aimed at them, and that far in ad- vance of any possible provocation. There are additional reasons why troubles in other fields should not be treated as though they existed or might reach bere, but just now it is enough to “let them severely alone.” A Physician Healed. Dr. Geo. Ewing, a practicing physi- cian of Smith’s Grove, Ky., for over thirty years, writes his personal ex- perience with Foley’s Kidney Cure: “For years I had been greatly bothered with kidney and bladder trouble and enlarged prostate gland. I used every- thing known to the profession without relief, until I commenced to use Foley’s | Kidney Cure. After taking three bot- | tles I was entirely relieved and cured. | I prescribe it now daily in my practice and heartily recommend its use to all physiciens for such troubles.

A Cameron - paper printed a para- graph to the effect that a man in Cam- eron, who has been married thirty years, still kisses his wife when he leaves home, which led another paper to say: “Tunnelion has a man mar- ried thirty years, who kisses his neigh- bor’s wife every time his neighbor leaves home; and Rowlesburg has a man married forty years, who not only kisses his wife when he leaves home, but kisses the hired girl when his wife leaves home.—QOakland Republican. Here in Salisbury we have a man married about “steen” years who kisses every woman and girl that will allow him to kiss her, without regard to races color or previous condition of servitude. We also have a citizen here who hasn’t got sense enough to kiss a woman, but every time he gets drunk he insists on kissing every man he meets. » Children in Peril.

The price of The New-York Tribune Farmer is $1.00 a year and THE SoMER- seTiCouNnTty Star is $1.50 a year, but both papers will be sent for a full year if you forward $1.50 to Tue Stag, Elk Lick, Pa. \ Send your name and address to The New-York Tribune Farmer, New York City, and a specimen copy of that paper will be mailed to you. tf itll THE BLANKS WE KEEP.
