70 The NVhiSs OF Maryland

The neara approach of the National and
State elections, which are to determine
important issues, presents am occasion for
Committee, to whom the general con
Germs of the Wing Iarty i'll Maryland have
been y You entrusted.
The contest now at hand, as far as il
relates to the National questions involved
Is a contest on our part to regain the
ground achieved by the victory of 1910
and afterwards lost by the detection OF
Mr.. TYLER. The lreachery Of that ill.,
dividual became, from the circumstances
of his position, fatal in many respects, to
The ends and objects contemplated by
the Wings of $50.
The cause Of our country was then, as
ii is now, our cause. We shook off the
man who sough to bctray us; we would
not be diverted from the great purposes
which we had in view. With profound
conviction of the importance Of Wing
principles and Wing measures to the well
being of the Republic; with the general
sentiment OF the intelligent mind of the
country united with us; with the bes
feelings of national patriotism enlisted ii
our cause II was not for us to hesitate ol
to lalter, no matter how unpropitous the
circumstance under which the visitation.
OF adversely came upon us.
We triumphed over direct opposition
four years ago We have gained great
er victory since. We have stood firm
amidst treason wilhin--amidst temporary
revcrses around us which seemed tc
threaten utter annihiIation; against the in.
iluences of Executive power and patron
age; against the despondent depression o
hopes deferred and of disappointmenls of
repeated. Let us challenge the approba-
ton of the world while we claim the ac-
cumulaled confidence Of our countrymen
for the unwaverng sleadiness, the calm
courage, the indomitable perseverance
with which the great Wing party of the
Union has stood to its principles under
the extraordinary vicissiiudcs which il
has been doomed to encounter.
Friends and brethren-Ict us not be
turned aside from our course. We know
our ground--We will not be led astray
by new issues artiicIalIy contriyed to
serve the purposes o! faction.

their side; with the prestige of former

to encounter them now-and how are they

sound principles, salutary measures aud

PRATT AND REFORM.

DenunclatIon seems To be the engine
which is TO he used by our opponents a
gansl our candidate Thomas G. Pratt
But let them beware lest the blows lhe>
strike al him, should rebound with force
against themselves. We have heard ofmen
holding him up to the execralion Of the
public, because, in 1886, period which
most MarylanGers recollect, he was found
in position hostile to the 10 recusanl
Senatorial Electors whose destructive aud
revolutionary course we do sincerely be-
lIeve they have ere this themselves fully
appreciated. This must be the meaning
of the charge that he was opposed 10 re-
form in the Constitution. We uncquivocal-
ly deny that either Mr.. Pratt or tho wing
party were opposed to Reform properly
effected, bnt we take a pride in avowing
the open. uncompromising hostility OF
both to this band, who lalher than be de.
feaied in accomplishing party purpose
would have thrown tie Government o
Maryland into a state Of confusion which
might have ended in Revolution and civil
War. We are proud to find him among
the faithful 81, whom nothing could drive
from the faithful discharge of their duty
TO their constituents.
The simple facts briefly told are these
The Constitution of Maryland, previous
TO its reform-that constitution bought and
consecrated by the blood OF our sres, re,
quired for the formation of Senate, tha
forty Electors should be chosen by the
people OF Maryland every five years, Whose
duty 1t should be to assemble in Electoral
college on the third Monday of September
and select by ballot, fifteen persons from
among the citizens of the State, who shoult
constitute the Senate of Maryland for the
following five years. In pursuance of thi.
provision an election was held in the
Summer of 1886 for Senatorial Electors

New ORLEANS ELEcTIoN-WHIG VIC
roRY!-The New Orleans papers, of Tues
day, conta in but partial returns of the cleo
ton, which took place in that city on the
lst inst. 1t appears, from a tableagiveni in
the Bee, that 7 Wings and 3 Locos have
been elected to The Legislature, and 6 wings
and 4 locos to the convention Cor amending
the State constitution. The loco Senatorial
candidate for the convention is elected by a
few votes. The Bee says:
Although incomplete, the Wings of New
Orleans have triumphed handsomely. But
for the ouirages the vote yesterday would
have peer overwhelming. The Wings would
have elected every member of their ticket
by tremendous malorities. Had the cleo
lions proceeded legally in any one of the
wards in which it was disturbed, every Wing
would have been returned. As it is, a ma
iority of our Legislative ticket is elected and
nearly the whole of the convention candi-
dates. Be of good cheer, Wings of The
Union, Louisiana will do her duty in Novem-
Der.
The Wing judges of the elections, with
out exception, determined to reject the votes
predicated upon the fraudulent naturaliza-
ton tickets, issued by Judge Elliott, who was
impeached and turned out of Office for his
corruption in making them. Because these
foreigners were refused a vote for good
causes, the Locofoco judges in several OF
the Wing wards closed the polls, or bsolute-
ly refused to permit old citizens, known to
the whole community as legal voters and adj
mitted by the judges themselves 10 be SO,
to exercise the privilege o freemen.
In the second ward of the First munich
pality, not one vote was taken. One OF the
Oldest and most respectable citizens of New
Orleaus presented himselfto the judges, and
his vote was refused by the Locofoco judge,
GU the ground that the Wing judge in
tended to reject the fraudulent Elliott certi-
icates-this, too, before a single Elliott vot-
er presented himself.
But for these miserable articles and posi-
tive outrages, the Wings would have obtain
ed a triumph such as would rejoice the heart
of every good Wing throughout the Union.
As it is. we,have elected nearly the whole of
bot1 of our tickets-an achievement which
may be considered a great victory under the
circumstances. As indicative of the vote at
the Presidential election, it pressages a COM
plete and glorious triumph of Henry Clay
Our friends in other States will doubt the f.
deity of louisiana no longer. She will be
found steadfast when most needed, and will
swell the tide of victory as it rolls in snbllmi-
ty over the Union.
The New Orleans Tropic says:
OF one thing the Wings of the Union may
be assured. New Orleans is "right side up,"
and that the Baltimore nominations have met
a noble response.
