(for nothing has been sisted that rises
to the dignity Of an accusation) which
have been made a. to the treasury and
canal management BY democratic Off.
cials, and we feel confident that the in.
telligence and patriotism of the people
cannot be so clouded BY the partiiau
clamor Of those who have lost power BY
their own folly and reckless abuse Of it,
as to destroy the future prosperity oi
Maryland by committing the govern
ment to those who were, in 1852, driv.
en- from power BY the immense uprising
of the people of this State. fs
Citizens of Maryland, we have thus
briefly portrayed your present happy
financial condition, and sought calmly
and truthfully to warn you Of your dam
ger. We have stated only facts, and
recalled to you the plain teachings Of
the past. We have presented to you as
candidates for State Offices men whose
record for patriotism, intelligence and
purity of character cannot be surpassed,
and it remains for you, in your several
counties and the city Of Baltimore, to
aid them by the election of your best
men to the Legislature, that BY their
united efforts such reforms as expert
ence may show to be necessary shall be
secured under the administration of the
democratic-conservative party.
That its management in the past may
have been at times not as discreet as,
in the judgment of some of its adher-
ents, it might have been, is possible;
yet, judged by the general results of
the government of this State, it will
challenge the approval Of all fair and
impartial men.
By order of the State Central Committee,
JOSHUA VANsANT, Chairman.
JAMES A. L. MCCLURE, Secretary.

ury. Important steps have been taken
to insure the equalization of taxation,
which has heretofore been SO much
needed in the State. BY the revenue
measures Of the last session, Of which
80 much ignorance is displayed, all
church property other than the church
buildings themselves and the parson-
ages, are subject to taxation as other
property. In fact all property in tins
State which has been or can be legiti-
mstely reached by taxation viii be made
to contribute to the support ofthe State
and municipal government.
With the results Of the revenue laws
of the last session the public may we'll
be satisfied, in spite of the carpings of
the misinformed; and the increase Of
the revenue thus produced will afford
an opportunity to the Legislature at its
next session to reduce its present taxes.
The citizens of the State viii remember
that the democratic Legislature of 1872
repealed the direct tax, and that since
that time no direct State tar has been
imposed on the people for the snpport Of
the State Government. .-', ...'.
No State taxes are now levied except
for the support Of our admirable pub
lie school system and the payment of
the interest on the public debt. The
revenue from licenses to foraign insur-
ance companies has been more than
doubled in the past few years. The
amount received from traders aud re-
tailers' and other licenses, and the in
come of the available resources of the
State, are now not only sufficient to the
support Of the State Government, but
contribute in part to the payment of
the interest of the public debt.
No truthful man who chooses to in.
form himself can hesitate to say that
the condition of the State treasury is
as healthful as it is possible for it to
be. "a
The same feeling of satisfaction can
be indulged in after q brief examina-
tion of the affairs of the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal Company, for whose
the democratic party is
now held responsible. That it may be
most plainly understood, statement of
its receipts and expenditures from 1865
to 1874, inclusive, exhibits it under the
various administrations by which it has
been controlled during that period:
