WILLIAM GRADY,
ELECTION DAY---Tuesday, Nov. 4.


the 9Th instant, in long editorial, gives re-
REV Of the political situation in Maryland, by
Countess and comes TO the conclusion that ut
is not probable that the Republicans will Sc
cure majority in the Senate, but majority
in the House, large enough TO constitute a ma
bounds of possibility The 4mcrican arrives
at this conclusion from the disafT.ction which
exists In the Democratic ranks in different
counties in the State In how far this disaf-
lection exists and how it will affect the gene
raj result we have not the means of ascertain
ing and should the result prove MS predicted
il will secure the election of a United States
Senator-thc very thing for which our oppo-
nents are aboring. This is not very fater-
ing exhibit Of Democratic unity, as given by
the american, but it is not too late to restore
harmony in the ranks if proper means are
used and the right spirit prevails. Let the
prudent men of the party set about this work
in earnest. There is too great greed for Of
fcc-candidates are multiplying, and in some
places are "thick as leaves in Vallambrosa."
With such a state of things it is impossible
that unity can prevail. One fails to get the
nomination and he Immediately sets mp as
''ndependent" forgetting 10 remember that
If true member of his party, he is thus Civ
ing laid and comfort" to the enemy. There
is but one remedy for this, and that is, for the
democrats everywhere throughout the State,
to ORGANIZE, and where's ticket has not
L IL a., L.
men and give 10 them their united support
Let each democrat consider himself a commit
tee to advance the best interests Of the party
to make il his duty TO see his neighbor and
urge upon him the duty Of supporting the
ticket and thus aid in bringing about that
unity which must exist in every party and
which is the only sure guarantee Of success.
ORGANIZE, then, in every district and neigh
borhood in the county. You have a discipin-
ed foe against whom TO contend, and you may
be assured that they are ready TO take advan-
tage ofthe chickering's and jcalousies in your
party to farther foment the dscord, and thus
secure their own advantage. 1t is well to
talk Of rings and ',jobs'' and "taXation, -
but it would be far better to look ut the con-
sequences of Radical rule, should the County
and State pass into other hands The colored
population are making their demands where
ever they have power. In Jackson, Missis-
sippi, buta few days ago, the Radicals unani-
nously adopted platform embodying the
principles of MINED SCHOOLS. The reso-
luton was couched in the following terms
''That we recognize no distinctions us now
existing by law in the rights of all the chill
dren of the State TO equal privileges, and to
accept such in all public schools, colleges or
universities, and should any of said nstitu-
lions Of learning deny to any child on account
of race or color, its equal rights, we pledge
ourselves 10 enforce the said rights by appro-
pirate legislation and we further pledge our
selves to the support of our present institu-
lions OF learning and our present educational
system, as above explained
Now, what does this mean 1t either means
that this party is in earnest in pressing mixed
schools wherever they can, or they are hum
bugging the eolored people with the idea of
their establishment, and what assurance have
the people of Maryland thata like resolution
will not be made Il part of Radical tactics if
they attain 10 power in this State. Let the
democrats, then, STAND BY THEIR PAR
TY-UPH0LD THEIR BANNER AND SUP
PORT THEIR NOMINEES-otherwise they
may bring upon themselves evils that tim,
cannot cure.
