In Queen Anne's county, (Md.) the Re-
publicans had no county ticket In the field
at the late election and seem 10 have taken
no active part in the contest, their candidate
on the State ticket, McKellep, for Comp
troller, receiving but 1856 votes to 1850 for
the Democratic nominee. The contest was
between the opposing wings of the Demo-
cratic party and resulted in triumph of the
regular ticket over the "second ticket, by
from 300 to 400 on the county and Legisla-
ture tickets and l72 for the Sheriff. The
contest was one Of great bitterness.
I'm the recent Maryland election the re-
publicans of Caroline County pclled about525
votes to about 960 for the democratic candi-
dates. On the State ticket the democratic ma
jority was higher than these figures indicate,
1914 votes being cast for Woolford for Comp
troller to OH for McKellip. There were three
candidates for Sheriff and the votes for each
was as follows. Richardson, regular demo-
cratic, 1853, Evitts, republican, 53l, Stewart
independent democrat 1856. The Union
alleges that the democrats were very fearful
as to the result and freely used money to
influence doubtful voters.
In Cecil CO., Md. the Republicans hardly
did as well as we had hoped they weuld.
The Democrats carried the county by ma
jority Of so on the State ticket, Sl2 on the
Legislature, G9l for county Commissioners
and 672 for Sheriff. The Republicans cleo
ted school Commissioners in the 9th, 9th,
and 9th Districts. The varying majorilies
tor the successful candidates show an un-
usual laxity in the customary strict discipline
of the Democratic party. The whole vote
polled was 81 which lacks 1888 votes of
the number registered, but the Wing says
there are errors in the registry list which
give it 300 names to many and that the re-
turns show that the real number of voters
absent was about $50

In Worcester county, there was no county
ticket in opposition TO the Democrats, and this
undoubtedly had a depressing effect on the Re-
publican voters. In four districts they polled no
vote ut all for the State ticket, being indifferent,
of course, because they supposed their ballots
would not change the result, and also because
there was no local ticket which they felt bound
to support.
Caroline county shows an increase of the Re-
publican vote over that polled for President
Grant, which indicates an active organization,
and earnest spirit.
Wicomlco county shows a similar favorable in
dicition, our vote having increased from 2S3,
two years ago, to i3i this election. full ticket
for county officers was in the field, and one of
them received as high as b03 votes. One district

II SAYS
There is no Disgusting the fact that the
agricultural interests OF the Northwest.
which have been in Strengthened condi
ilon Tor three years, have suffered so greatly
from our long, wet spring and short. cold
Summer, and the diminished crops of corn,
wheat, barley, oats, and rye, that, had even
lar prices prevailed, the stringency must
have continued severe. But the recent
heavy decline in all these grains is seriously
disastrous to thousands. Wheat is selling
for considerably less in currency than i
brought before the war in gold, when taxes
were light and labor was low. Western

To some Of the readers Of uur paper that
the DELAWARE TnnuNE should have larger
circulation in Sussex county than that of all other
papers combined. The reason is quite clear to
us; Through the interchangeable efforts Of our
efficient corps of correspondents every issue of
that paper contains more Sussex county news
than the paper published there contains of all
kinds Of news. The same is, in measure, true
of Kent county, though that county has more
cnterprising local press. In New Castle county,
where there is large number OF local papers, it
makes Roadway more slowly, but with equal

AT ALL the recent elections large num-
beers Of the electors refrained from voting.
This is one of the most discouraging things
in popular government and is fraught with
great danger, Men should understand that
voting is not privilege, but a right and
duty and he who fails to cast his ballot in
behalf of the principles AID candidates he
believes should prevail is bad citizen, in
that he fails in his,duty toward the Common
wealth and his fellow men.

HE CRrMrToNIAN, a neutral paper pub
lished at Crumpton, Queen Annes Co., Nd,
after mentioning the recent acquittal of a
white man who was clearly guilty of killing
colored man in Cecil county says =
1.-TWO white men, residents of Kent
county, named Harrington and Morris, en-
tered into DEMONSTRATING co-partnership
and induced negro to aid them. There is
no doubt but the white men were the orig
lnators of the scheme, and the negro n mere
tool in their hands. They We're arrested,
but the two white men were allowed to 70
forth and plumber other communities, on
giving security for the payment of $1,000
each, # they failed to appear at Kent County
Circuit Court TO answer for their misdeeds
vi course they failed to appear, and the
county will probably have the usual trouble
10 collecting the security money. Gibson,
the negro, was unable to give security and
was therefore under the necessity of appear
| ing in Court He was found guilty and
sentenced to ten years Imprisonment :
These things bring grave discredit upon
the administration Of justice on the Eastern
Shore. 1t seems To us, however, that Il little
experience will sufficiently convince the pco-
| pie of Kent that society suffers as much by
permitting the two white thieves to 90 a,

negro, and that if crime is to he checked, d
premium must not thus be offered for il.

The Baltimore Sun, says; "a bill has
passed its second reading in the Tennessee
Assembly, providing in its first section that
hereafter il shall he lawful to contract for
any rate Of interest, provided that the rate
OF interest be in writing, and expressed on
the face Of the instrument creating the prin-
cpal debt or obligation" This, in effect,
abolishes the restrictions upon business i'm
posed by laws of usury, and just is what is
needed in Maryland, though where there is
no special stipulation, fixed rate might
prevail, as at present provided in the CON
stituiion. Capital would thus be employed
at home instead of going abroad for higher
profit than can be legally and safely secured
