The Maryland republican convention yester-
day was chiefly remarkable, the American says,
for what II neglected to do, and for its disap-
pointment Of all preconceived theories as to the
nominations 1t would make. As great portion
Of the strength OF the party must be drawn
from the western section of the state, and as 1t
Is ut best debatable ground, the probabilities
were that the nomination for controller would
be given to it. There was also the additional
reason for this course that the western counties
have suffered most from the financial policy Of
the democratic party and Controller woolford's
Encouragement. But for some reason the
Eastern Shore carried off the honors, and Mr..
Henry ii. Goldsborough, Of Talbot county, was
made the candidate. Mr.. Goldsborough Is a
Marylander by birth and lawyer by profess
SION He has represented his county in the
legislature several terms, and was q member
during that memorable session at Frederick in
1851, when he was one of the few who stood up
and opposed the secession of Maryland from
the Union. Judge Price, the nominee for clerk
of the court of appealz, is a citizen of Hartford
county, who won an enviable reputation while
on the bench OF that circuit. The American
complains that the platform adopted Is not up
to the mark in failing to condemn the back-pay
grab Ii however finds something to commend
in the resolution which calls for the equal taxa
ton of all personal and corporate property.
Favored property interests, amounting in value
to millions of dollars, bear no share of the bur-
den Of taxation in Maryland, and by Just so
much as Il y are exempted is the load made
heavier for others. This is an issue of moment
to every taxpayer, and it needs only to be prop
erly understood to become a mighty power in
the campaign.

WASHINGTON CITY:
Ii, 1878.
The Changes In the District Govern

ment.
Elsewhere will be found the announcement
OF the appointment of A. r. Shepherd to be
Governor OF the Territory Of Columbia, vice
Henry ID. Cooke, resigned. This appointment
viii undoubtedly be q matter Of hearty graft
hcation to large majority Of the people Of this
District, from the fact that Mr.. Shepherd is q
native here, and has won his spurs by hard
labor. 1t is not necessary for us at this time to
speak of his career in detail. 1t is sufficient to
say that from his earliest boyhood he has had an
honorable ambition TO do something to make
the city Of Washington worthy of its name and
position; and it is quite certain that in the fu-
ture as in the past his whole energies of body
and mind will be given to the advancement of
the interests of the District.
Gov. Cooke in laying down his trust has the
satisfaction Of feeling that he has won the
respect and confidence of the entire community
by his conscientious and psinstaking discharge
Of his duties as the first governor of this terri
tory; and President Grant has very justly as
well as gracefully borne testimony to the value
OF these services, in his reply. The hearty in
terest taken by the President in the welfare of
this District is shown by the whole tone Of his
letter, and further illustration is found in his
appointment Of a citizen of the high character
and fine business capacity of DIR. John b. Blake
to fill the vacancy in the Board of Public
Works.

creditable circumstances attending the failure
