they carried Baltimore county h. 49,. ~
Last week they carried it by about an average
majority ola thousand or eleven hundred. There
is certainly nothing in the result in Maryland
that need excite their jubilation. There are some
things that should excite their shame if they have
any. The exorbiant majorites rolled up in Bal
timore city show that they are rather fruitful in
the skill Of manufacturing majorities whenever
they get ready and TO any amount they may fancy
necessary If this is a cause of rejoicing to them
we do not envy their joy.
Take all the records OF elections and you will
find that the year succeeding the Presidential
election is the worst of the four for votes. and
this is particularly true Of the Republican party.
The patronage Of the administration that is elected
has been distributed before the elections of the
fall are over and those who were disappointed in
getting places became apathetic. Four years ago
in Baltimore county the Republican vote was only
1882, when Gen. Grant received 2, 1886 the previ-
ousyear. The Democratic party polled something
like four thousand votes in 1868, and in 1869
they polled less than three thousand. Last year
President Grant received 3, 8l5 votes in Baltimore
county. This year our ticket received en- an
average B. 600 votes. Thos. H. Matthews received
only tweste es~a less than Gcn. GsaFa '~a III
year. While it would have satisfied US oe.,er to
have won, yet we can see nothing in the result
that encourages the hope of Democracy for the
future. The Republican party of the county and
State is stronger to-day than it ever was. II is
-.
the Greeley Democracy into the adoption of its
ideas principles and policies. In this we are al
ways victorious.

Election Frauds is HoaU0rd County

Election Frauds i7l HO2O0Td County.
In Howard county the virtuous Democracy
succeeded in eecting all of its ticket except the
Sheriff and one Commissioner, by the practice of
all sorts of fraud and political legerdemains.
One able-bodied servant of the party, clothed in
the livery of a registrar, placed upon the list of
voters the name of gentleman who came from
Virginia to Howard county in September. The
newcomer informed the registrar that he was not
entitled to register and TO VOTE having come TO
the State in September of this year. The regis
trar told him it made no difference and he placed
his name upon the list of qualified voters. This
same gentleman discharged the duty Of a Demo-
crat by voting illegally on election day. Our
opinion is that both registrar and voter should
be made acquainted with life inside of the peni-
Tertiary of Maryland II this were done we
should have less of this sort of pollution of the
franchise. Another registrar conceived it to be
his duty, after consultation with two or three
leading Democratic politicians, to strike from the
list the names of twelve colored men who have
been voting in his district ever since colored men
stricken off after they had been published as
qualified voters and when they had no opportu-
nifty of knowing it until election day. On that
day they presented themselves and offered their
ballots, but they were refused because their names
were not upon the list. Two of the judges stated
that they knew personally that several of these
voters were entitled to VOTE but they said they
could not take their ballots unless their names
appeared upon the list. This is deliberate, pre-
utility of it and re-
sponsible for it should be punished with the
heaviest penalties of the law.
In another instance a colored man, whose name
had been stricken from The list by the registrar
at his first sitting, presented himself and was
sworn and made his statements which convinced
the registrar that his name should be restored to
the list He was about to place his name among
the registered voters of the district when a white
Democrat came in and made an unsworn general
statement that the colored man was not entitled
to register. The registrar then struck from the
list the name that be restored there upon the
sworn evidence of the colored man who had pre-
viously voted in the district.

CENTENNIAL Philadelphia, with a persever-
ance and tenacity that deserve the highest credit,
sticks to the Centennial and is peggng away at
the work The State Board O, Centennial Super
visors, created by act of Assembly in March last,
has framed a programme for the conduct OF the
work and the completion Of all arrangements
The law that created them appropriated million
dollars for the erection Of permanent building
for the use Of the Centennial anniversary The
money is to be paid out in installments of about
$500, 900 each until 1876 when the balance of the
million is to be paid. None of this money is to
be paid out until Philadelphia appropriates $780,,
900 and raises ambition by private subscription.
The building is to be erected in Paramount Park,
is to be constructed of iron and brick5 is TO be
fire proof and is not to cost less than 81 500 900.
The specifications have been submitted. Bids
have been put in and the contract for the work
awarded. And it is credi,able TO Philadelphia
and an earnest that she is willing that all shall
participate that this contract has been awarded
to IL New York bidder.
REQUIREMENTs.-W are firmly of the opinion
that every place like Woodberry, Mt. Washing
ton, Waverly, Canton and places of that charac-
ter should be precincted aud furnished with voting
facilities. All of Woodberry should be in one
precinct instead of sending portion OF her voters
three or four miles to vote They should be in
corporated and furnished with the means of
making themselves comfortable and neat in ave-
nues, roads and general management These
things exert benefcent influence upon our civil
iZation. They cultivate tastes and habits that
are refining and elevatng in their influences
Every man should have the means of expressing
his sentiments at the ballot box placed within bis
reach so accessible, where il is practicable, that
be could bave no excuse for remainip' e-ay
from the polls on election day. The. ,ley
Legislature that the Democracy has seen r. q its
wisdom to send to Annapolis can confer donsid-
cradle benefit upon portions OF their coPs' tueucy
if they will give their attention TO this matter
Let us see what they will do
gs- Things were lively in Iowa City, Iowa,
on election night. The editor of the Republican,
in company with the postmaster and his partner,
were heard in saloon singing:
want to be granger,
And with the grangers stand
horney headed farmer,
With hay stack in my hand.
and anon, his partner, nice young man. with
good voice, joins in:
Beneath the tall tomato tree
swing the glitterng hoe
And smite the wild potatobug
As he skips DER the snow.
When the postmaster continued
I've bought myself Durham ram
And gray alpaca COW,
lock-stitch Usage orange hedge
And patenteather plough.

THE Power OF A LOCOMOTIVE. Wheu the first
locomotive was patented, driving only one car, if
lightly loaded, il did very well but when the load
it drew was heavier than its weight, its wheels
would not bite, that is, they would turn round with
out advancing. Hence cowCa;cher was needed
behind TO guard against cattle running into j, in
the rear 1t seemed at irst impossible to make
less weight move greater on an up grade; and
for some years no one invented an engine able 10
draw three times its own weight At the present
day, however, locomotives sweep along with
trains more ponderous by fifteen or twenty times
than they themselves One means of gaining
this vast increase of power for the locomotive was
by dividing the load. 1t was found that an en-
CINE powerless TO stir five times its weight Of
freight when concentrated in one car, could read
lily draw it when distributed in a dozen cars
loosely shackled together. 1t was heavier than
each single car and it had TO overcome the inertia
of each one moment before it encountered the
inertia of another. 1t Was thus more than
match for each taken singly and pulling
them successfully, il drew after it train as long
as comet, and the farther it ran the more
strength it had to run further. Here was the
story of little David over again. Singly, the
striplings weight, as he told Goliah, was one
hundred and twenty, hut whenever he got mad
he weighed Il ton. Moreover, the engine forced
the momentum acquired by every car ii had start
ed TO swell its own potency in overcoming the
resistance OF all that remained still motionless

MASSACRE. -Fifty-three Americans have been
assassinated by Cuban mob They were taken
out of the 'Virginus, an American vessel. seized
upon the high seas and taken into Cuban port.
The fact is startling. 1t should arrest the atten-
ton of all true Americans. The Cuban author-
ties claim that the "Virginius' was fitted out in
New York city, by Cuhans residing there, with
munitions and provisions Tor insurgent Cubans
If this be the case it softens the matter to some
extent. The massacre is another thing. The
Spanish Government may or may not be respon-
sible for it. Those who perpetra,ed it should be
punished in any event. Further developments
are necessary to an unbiased judgment.

Ms-The frauds in Howard, Anne Arundel
and other counties of he State demonstrate the
necessity of the punishment OF the criminals
under the enforcement act of Congress, and if
this is not strong enough to reach the case, we
demand that another be passed that will. If
Howard and Anne Arundel counties juries and
courts would punish the Williams there would
be no necessity for the interference Of another
power. But when the purity of the ballot-b box
is attacked the Republic is being stabbed and
it is every good citizens interest TO see that the
criminals are put beyond the power of mischief.

The Greatest HerdSmqn The greatest herds
man in the world is the title claimed for Samuel
w. Allen, of Texas, who owns 225, 900 cattle.
He has one rancho eighty miles long and forty
wide between the Nevada and Colorado rivers,
the largest on the continent which pastures 100,
900. Two Others accommodate respectively TO-
900 and 80. 900 These cattle all subsist on ma
tive grasses of a part of Texas. His herds re-
quire the attention of at least 400 herders and
branders, and the use Of 5000 horses. He brands
60, 900 calves every year to keep up the supply.
The value of his stock exclusive of the land ex
ceeds five million aud half. He is the chief
meat purveyor of New Orleans aud the neigh
boring counties of the gulf coast.

yNg- We take the following items from The
Spirit Of The Times
One day last week. saws the Holton 70 Ne,0s
young man, apparently boy, dressed rather
roughly, and riding an old-looking horse, stop
ped at Wetmore to rest and get dinner, and feed
his horse. Upon inquiry, he said he was going
to the Homestead region. Some of the "sports"
in the town had been training their horses for
racing. They, more for amusement than any
thing ese bantered the "homesteader" for race
for a purse of $780, After considerable talk and
buster, the stranger concluded to run his horse.
When the time came TO run, the old coat was
pulled off, and 10 a scarlet jacket was there
No sooner did the horse see the red jacket than
he prcked up his ears, and it required three men
to hold him while the saddle was being adjusted
and the rider mounted. II is only necessary TO
add that the money was won by the 'home-
steader," leaving the Wetmore chaps waiting
for the rext. The same game was played by
the same fellow AT Seneca.

the Great Fo,,y-Mile Race.

The Turf, Field and Fdrm of the 7th instant
says:
1.-The telegraph informs US that True Blue has
safely arrived in San Francisco and so interest
deepens in the great four-mile heal which
is to be run on Saturday, November Is 1t was
in August last that the Pacific Jockey Club sd-
vertised purse of $40, 900 open to all horses,
for IA contest of four-mile heats. The purse at
tracted wide attention, and in due time it had
eight subscribers OF those named from Cali
fornia, Thad Stevens was and is regarded as the
most dangerous. He is horse that has shown
well in public, having the capacity 10 run four
miles as well as one. At the former distance he
has the credit of making seSoud heat in 1870
Joe Daniels, it is expected, will again try con-
illusions with Thad Stevens and if he does, it is
possible that the verdict of two weeks and more
ago will be reversed. We say possibly, for the
reason that rest from the overland trip can hard
y fail to improve the condition OF Joe Daniels
Hubbard, it is announced, will also be a con-
testant for the $40 900 purse, and there are good
Judges on this side of the continent who claim
that Hubbard is better distance horse than his
stable companion. Arizona and Ballot Box
likewise are expected 10 start, but il is believed
hat the great struggle will be between True
Blue and Thad Stevens. Ii Mr.. Chamberlin's
horse has stood well the long and fatiguing jour
ney from the Atlantic TO the Pacigc coast, he will
make good race, and the California champion
may be forced to lower his c0lors. From all APP
pearances, there will be great crowd on the
track to witness the race, and the two favorites
will be strongly backed TO win. The purse is so
divided that the first horse will receive $l3, 000
the second horse S. 900, and the third horse ST.
0O0."
By next week We hope to be able to give our
readers full account of this great race.
