TIN Them Once More.

The apathy that exists in the Republican party
is BY no means creditable to the party's past
record nor to the noble men who have given it
its grandest achievements. History makes it
-seeend- to no party that the country has known
in the PRONUNCIATION Of exalted ideas and the ex-
ecution of grand policies for the salvation of the
nation and the advancement of civilization. 1t
stands peerless in its progress and grandeur. Its
record is crowded thick with the most brilliant
deeds of the worlds annals. Its soldiers and
statesmen's deeds cannot fade from the memory
Of man while time shall endure. Those who have
charge of the noble old ship should not now for
get her noble past They should not allow her
banners to fall, but should bear them aloft until
her bene6cent example shall illuminate the path
way of the down-trOdden of every land and bring
hope and freedom and development in arts and
sciences to all the worlds people. Her mission
cannot be ended while there remains to be accom-
plished anything that looks to the highest devel-
opment of men and governments. Then let her
not shrink from her duty. 1t is plain. 1t is now
as it was twenty years age-to oppose the wrong
and to advance the right. This was the broad
platform upon which it was organized and upon
which it has fought out successfully humanity g
battles. Standing upon thisplatform and waging
ceaseless combat with heroic courage it won the
admiration Of the civilized world and lifted the
American nation into the highest respect of ma
tons that hitherto viewed US with derisive con-
tempt.
We do not believe the party is dead in the State
of Maryland or in Baltimore county. By a
proper organization and the pursuit of judicious
policy, pointing out the defects Of the policies

dies that shall address themselves to the good
sense of the thinking people, we are persuaded
that majority of the next Legislature may be
returned for the Republican party. There are
many men who have hitherto affiliated with the

carry the State forward in an era of progress
Republicans who are engrossed in their business
and who pay no attention to politics until some
one comes around and invites them to 60 to the

make some effort to select the appropriate men to
carry them out.
We do not believe Baltimore county is past re-
demption by any means. The Republican party
in the county has won for itself the highest re-
spect of the people and even of the opposition to
it. For the past several years it has put forward
for the different positions of trust in the county
men of unquestioned efficiency, unimpeachable
character, and who would, beyond all doubt re-
feet the highest credit upon the county if enrust-
ed with the official conduct of its affairs. Its Sc
lectons have been such as to win enceniums from
the Democracy and to secure some support from
that side. And the party has been on steady
but solid increase in consequence of its good Sc
lectons and commendable course.
Let her continue in this way. Let the people
in different sections Of the county talk among
themselves upon the selection Of their most en-
Gent and capable neighbors for standard.bearers
this fall. Let them keep the subject agitated in
their midst from now until the time for making
nominations. Let them be ripe with their we'll
thought conclusions for the men and the pro.
grammes to put forward for the campaign. II
this is thoroughly done we entertain a strong
confidence in our success. Let US try it once
more.
