ssBOO!"

The war-like bowls of Randall and
his Southern pugilistic conspirators
echo more clearly the bray of the ass
than the roar of the lion. The Demo-
cratic managers of Mr. Tilden's Presi-
Dental interests must have very little
confidence in the intelligence of the peo-
pie of the country. and must put very
low estimate upon their common sense
and shrewdness, if they, for a moment,
imagine that their tricks and plans, to
influence Congress in behalf of Mr.. Til
denis pretensions, are not seen through
and fully understood. Outside pres
sure, and possibly popular violence, are
now relied upon to FORCE Congress up
to the point necessary for the success
full accomplishment Of the Tilden pro-
gramme. Numerous conferences and
meetings have already been held in sew
eral Western States and noticeably in
PENNSYLVANIA last week These put-up
jobs are doubtless suggested by Mr..
Tiden himself, who, as the man of des-
tiny, suggests the plans and directs
their execution by his willing followers.
The Sth Of January, it seems, has been
selected as the favorable occasion on
which indignant office-seckers are to
howl themselves hoarse over the defeat
of their unselish hopes, and are to
make the blue vaults of heaven ring
with their patriotic shouts This politi-
cal Glove feast" which is to commomo-
rate alike the achievements Of the great
living disciple of peaceablc revolution,
as we'll as the memory of the dead hero
of New Orleans, doubtless will be cele-
brated in peaceful and loyal Democratic
Maryland OF " the faithful y brethren
doubtless all will be present in spirit at
least if not in body. The standard pi
personal qualification, for the sweet COM
munion, will be that of lung power .
The ability to elbow" long and loud
upon the Tilden trumpet, that is to sum,
mon to a New Year judgment these
SHINING Republicans Had we the abil
ity we might portray, in glowing nun,
bers, the virtues, deeds, and proud
distinction of the Maryland " circle :
None should be passed over contemptu-
ouslv, not even the most obscure, while
poetry would exhaust itself in eloquent
rhyme and in chanting the praises of pa.
triots pure as these. Who is reckless
enough to dare the assertion that the
political posterity of the lamented An
drew jackson do not retain and zeal
ously maintain the high standard OF
personal virtue and political honesty
which distinguished their illustrious
ancestor! Or what Maryland Demo.
crat conceals within his breast heart
so cold as not to throb with party JOY
at faintest echo of Carroll's name. We
mean he of Carrollton, whom posteritv
crowns with unstained honors, not he
of cheaper notoriety, who walked DER
PROSTATE right and violated laws to
local Democratic fame But to the an
niversary near at hand How we long
to be there, to see the glorited spirits OF
modern Maryland Democracy expand
into thin air. Through the gathering
clouds of Tilden incense, burnt on the
party altar, the fading outlines of the
officiating priests are dimly discernible
All, however, are there, chorsters and
priests, waving their spotless robes
(of oflce). The white washed Whyte
The conscientious Carroll The bold
blatant Bannon, his ecclesiastical face
more rounded than ever, and fully
health restored just from the orange
groves of Florida. BY side Of him the
sanity Swami, the greedy German, and
the honeying Hines, all big with zen,
terprises of great pith and moment
But when, under the inspiration of such
political priesthood, the great shout
is raised For Tilden or for death, y
and each Democratic ear expectant is
about to catch its echo resounding from
old Worcester's cypress swamps to
Alleghany's mountain heights, to be
re-echoed in the ears of the great po-
