A POLITICAL ANOMALY.

The Ohio Democracy evidently felt
the desperation of the political situation
in that State when, last week, they
nominated Cincinnati grocer, named
Bishop, for Governor. Anxiety TO Sc,
cure a strong candidate now, however.
gives place to perfect bewilderment on
the part of the average Democrat of
Cincinnati when he reflects that the
nominee lacks single trademark for
currency in the everyday Democratic
market. Imagine the feelings of the
"great unwashed" when they awoke
to the discovery that the man of their
choice shines conspcuously above his
competitors for Gubernatorial honors
as a Know Nothing, church member,
an anti-Sunday beer man, and an owner
of national bank stock. Not that these
recommendations are not very admra-
BILE in themselves and should commend
their owner and proprietor to public
esteem and regard Yet what more
serious drawbacks to Democratic conf
dence and support could be conceived :?
Let Democratic precedents in Mary
land illustrate Bourbon practices in
Ohio. Ferdinand c. Latrobe, "A Demo
cratic candidate for the mayoralty Of
Baltimore, was recently defeated igno-
miniously for a denomination By his
party. Two years previously he had
been DEFEATED by the reform candi.
date, Mr.. Warfeld, bat had been RE-
TURNED elected by the popular methods
for which Baltimore Democracy have
become so celebrated the country over.
Latrobe, well knowing that he had Sc
cured his election by fraud and violence,
naturally felt some conscientious scru-
Piles concerning the manner of his cleo,
ton, Notwithstanding the fact that his
close personal and political relations
with his father-in-law, the late Gov.
Swami, were not calculated to stimu-
late either his conscience or his honesty
at least as active principles, deter,
mined to act a little decently in the
administration of his office, as par.
tial atonement for the stolen political
honors of which he had allowed HIM
self to become the recipient. With this
mistaken, but in some respects lauda-
bic object in view, he began the work
of reform within the party, The task
was a hcrculean one, but since there
was no other means Of salvation for the
reputation he had lost he began it APP.
parently in earnest He ignored "the

Republican State Central Committee.

Pursuant to call by Its late Chair
man, Hon John l.. Thomas, Jr., now
Collector of Custom, the Maryland Re
publican State Central Committee met
at Raine's Hall, in Baltimore on We'd
nesdav last, to effect new organiza-
ton, looking toward vigorous prose
cution of the coming campaign, and to
elect Chairman to fill the place made
vacant by the resignation of Mr. Thomas.
The order of President Hayes requiring
Federal officeholders to separate their
official from their political duties, bv
throwing up one or the other, results in
a considerable change of the State Cen
trail Committee from what it was Il few
months ago. The Chairman, Treasurer
and several members of the Executive
Committee, and many of the prominent
and Understanding members have been
thus called upon to resign.
Promptly at II o'clock, Mr.. j. Emory
