For Mr. mate's Attorney Richmond ?
Frostburg, Oct. 31, 1883.
Tu#hc Minino Journal.
Yesterday’s Cumberland Times in
forms the public that in case Mr. De-
Vecmon bo elected State's Attorney
“the friends of the father would see
that the name suffer no disparagement
from the acts of tho son.”
We would like to know now if Mr.
Richmond has any such guardians or
sponsors, or whether he thinks he has
manhood enough to stand on his own
foundation. From the past record of
Mr. R. we think he prefers the latter,
and doubtless the election will show
that the public like that sort of man
too. No. 12.

To the Minino Journal.
There appeared in tho last number
of your paper an article which must
not bo allowed to go unnoticed. I refer
to that one signed “A Democrat.”
It was no doubt this gentleman’s duty
to make the case for his fiiend as
strong as he possibly could, but in do
ing this it is to be regretted ho found it
necessary to write ungenerously and
unjustly of his friend’s rival. Ho has
inflicted his injuries obliquely, prefer
ring to suggest by innuendo what, re
duced to distinct charges, he would
have declined to publish.
Is it true that Mr. DeVecmon has
only his youth to recommend him 7
Let us see. A glimpse at the facts in
the case will show beyond cavil that
Mr. DeVecmon’s merits are equal if
not superior to any and all that can be
justly imputed to Mr. Richmond.
