MARTINsBURG. OCTOBER II, 1888.
MARYLAND Ezections.--This State is


MARYLAND Elections. This State is
perpetually turning somersets. A ma
-jority Of Representatives to Congress,
as also Of Delegates to the General AS
sembly, have been carried by the Jack
son party. The majority Of Jackson
delegates in the Legislature is said to
be sufficient TO overbalance the Senate
on joint ballot. If this be the case, a
general turn out of state officers may
be expected.
The Frederick Herald gives the fol-
lowing classification of the members
of Congress elect.

The Moderator.-We have received
the first number of a new paper pub
lished in Washington City under the a.
bovo title, by w. r. COLLIER. 1t
contains an able address from the Edi-
tor to the Public, exposing at full
length the political principles and views
which he designsto advocate. 1t pro-
fesses, republicansm in the sense in
which the term was used in the days
of Jeflerson--a recognition of Mr..
Calhoun and his party as Republicans,
qualified however by a gentle condcm-
nation Of "the ultra and perhaps err
roneous course pursued by that party''
"a determined hostility to the eleva-
ton of Mr.. Van Buren, to the Presi-
dency-and a preference for John Nc.
Lean of Ohio. The editorial articles
are in pretty good taste, and the me-
chanlcal execution of the paper car
compare with any Of the journals o
the day.
The paper may be seen al our office.
The aoay II paS done.-The New
York Commercial, in an article under
this head, has given, on the authority
of letter from Washington, the cir
cumstances attending the removal OF
the deposites, the custer of Mr.. Duane.
and the appointment of Mr.. fancy
The Globe denies the truth ofthe state
ment. The giSt of the question is
hoic paS Mr.. Duane gotten rid of? Did
he resign? The official cannot say
that. Was he removed! 1t will not
say that. Is he deadf 1t dare not say
that. Will it then tell us-ho,o 1t scaS
done?
Reported roao in the Cabinet.--It has
been stated by the National Gazette,
on the authority Of letter from Balti-
more, that Mr.. McLanc had resigned
his office, quarrelled with Mr.. fancy,
challenged him to fight, and that Mr..
4. had refused. The Globe denies
this statement. Another version of the
story is, that Mr.. McLane had tender
ed his resignation to the President, who
declined accepting it. There is as yet
no certainty, or at least no notoricty of
the truth of any of these rumors, but we
imagine there is no dispute about the
Cabinet being pretty well by the ears.
In the Congressional district of Phi
ladelphia vacated by the resignation of
DR.. Sutherland, that gentleman has
been reelected by large majority
over Mr.. Sergeant. The opposition for
the Assembly has secceeded in the city
Of Philadelphia, and the Jackson ticket
in the county. 1t is said that DR..
