DIR. MACkALL'S LETTER,

No one who knows the late amiablc
and intelligent editor of "The Demo-
crat " would, for moment, question
the sincerity of his political opinions
or even intimate that he was not thor
oughly orthodox in all the cardinal doc
trines of the modern, or even the ancient
Democratic creed Therefore, cordially
respecting the man as one who possesses
the courage of his convictions, we cheer
fully give his communication Il place in
our columns.
With Dr. Mackall's reatlirmation of
his devotion to his party principles,
albeit we regard them as falacious and
obsolete-noticeably the doctrines of
States Rights,-we have no concern.
He is amenable to no man for his poIiti-
cal faith. Nor on the other hand do
we notice his letter either with a view
to Improbable newspaper discussion or
for the purpose of pressing disagreed
BILE inquiry as to the reasons of his
withdrawal from the editorial manage
ment of "The Cecil Democrat Clearly
the right is his to regard them as per-
sonal and upon which we have no dis
position to entrench. So far, however
as his reasons were of political char
acter and were indicated in the columns
of his newspaper, and to which we re-
ferred in an editorial article of the 18th
ultimo, they are public property, sub
ject to fair and reasonable interpreta-
ton of the language in which they
found expression. None of these things
are however, in our opinion, pertinent
to present inquiry.
Distinctly stated, the simple issue we
raise with Dr. Mackall is this: Is there
non ring, Junta, coterie, or combina-
ton within the organization of the
Democratic party in Maryland which
employs the party machinery for sell
fish purposes of personal profit and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT; and has it, or has it
not, its representatives in Cecil county
who obnoxiously, and in disregard of
the well-known and openly-expressed
will of the voters of the party, mould
and fashion its accredited representa-
tives to their own political and indi-
vidual uses? Indeed DR.. Mackall adj
mits that such a combination did exist
and that it was seriously damaging that
glorious O. old party which he still
idolizes with such refreshing enthusi-
asm Did exist? When? Two wears
ago? Aye, long since the Summer of

THE OHIO ELECTION.

The Republicans in Ohio have been
defeated by an overwhelming Demo
cratic majority. Unlike the President
of the United States, we confess our
disappointment at the result, and share
with Mr.. Sherman the unhappness of
the unwelcome event. We have no dis
position to indulge in Improbable spec
ulations upon the causes that led to so
decided detection upon the part of the
Republican voters of that State A
combination of reasons, rather than anv
special or prominent one, in our opinion,
contributed to the success of the oppo-
sition We reject as absurd and ridcul-
Gus the ready solution of the problem
suggested by the Democrats cleo
toral commission, their own creature
and are not altogether prepared to be-
lieve that the Southern policy of the
President is obnoxious to so large
proportion Of Republican voters in his
own State. The Greenback movement,
the Workingmen's organization, the
In1ationists, all doubtless contributed
their share to weaken and divide the
Republican ranks. But primarily, We
believe that the trucking policy pur-
sued by our Ohio Republican leaders,
at the very outset of the canvass, con-
tributed more than any other cause to
their failure At the last general cleo
ton in Ohio the Republicans took high
ground on the questions of currency and
National credit, and won. In this can
vass, they begged the question and pan
dered to popular local prejudices, and
have lost. AS if the platform itself was
not weak enough with all men who
advocate National honesty, Judge West,
our nominee for Governor, must needs
also pander to the communistic element
of society, in speech opening the cam
paign. This alone, notwithstanding
his subsequent attempts to un-say what
he had so imprudently declared, undid
him with the solid business men and
property owners of the large manulac-
turing and trade centers Of the State

Baltimore, in 1873, repeats itself at
Elkton in 1877. Upon smaller scale,
it Is true, but with all the harmony of
its original proportions religiously pre-
served Can any man truthfully assert
that Mr.. Knight was anv more the
choice Of a majority of the Democrats
of Cecil county, for the House of Dele
gates, than was Mr. Carroll the prefer
ence Of a majority Of the Democrats of
the State for the Office of Governor =?
Is it not conceded that an untrammelied
expression of the party sentiment was
against Mr. Carroll for Governor :?
while it is equally true that seven
ninths vote was equally emphatic
against Mr. Knight for the Legisla-
ture. Yet how We're contrary poiti-
cal results reached, except by methods
equally obnoxious to the majorities who
had rejected both candidates?
If, then, the methods Of nominations
are offensive to Independent Democrats
in one case, why not equally so in the
other? Or stating the case differently !:
If the nomination of MIR. Carroll was
offensive and obnoxious to Democrats
of DIR. Mackall's type, in view not Of
the unquestionable character of the
nominee, but solely on account of the
equivocal means employed to nominate
him, and which he CDR. MackalD and
other Democrats equally honest and
independent did not hesitate to de-
nounce, why should not Mr. Knight
be as well the subject of their denuncia-
tions, if he pro6ted by similar methods in
securing his nomination? To this argu-
ment DR.. Mackall would doubtless spe-
ciously reply in the language of his let
ter: IF it (the Riny) makes our nomi-
nations, it takes care to make good
" ones" Was not Mr.. Carroli'S nomi-
nation, in personal sense, a good one !!
Does any one argue that Mr. kni ht'S
nomination was, in personal sense, Il
bad one? The question of personal
acceptabilty is not involved in either
case Both nominations were diStastc-
full and unacceptable to large major
thy of the party voters, because they
We're effected in violation of the popu-
lar party will. Nor is the fact weak
ened by the statement that in both in
stances the accepted representatives, of
the party cOnsummated the acts. They
were accredited or authorized to exc
cute the party will. Nothing less, moth
ing more The violation of that will
was a misrepresentation of their con-
stituencies, an unauthorized assumption

as practical results are concerned, in

here nor elsewhere has it borne fruit
worth the gathering. The evidence is
accumulative that the Ring dominates
as obnoxiously as ever, while many
who, two years ago were the loudest
in condemnation Of it, are now its will
ing apologists. The tide of its intlu-
ence ran too swift current for arms

THE PRODIGAL'S RETURN.

Mr.. S. Teakle Wallis, distinguished
lawyer of Baltimore, an accomplished
scholar, and cultured gentleman, who
two years ago catered for Republican
votes as " Reform " nominee for the
Attorney Generalsbip Of the State, has
repudiated Mr. Warfeld and his sinking
cause for the more tempting political
allurements protfered him by the domi-
nant Democratic faction The political
podigal's return was made the occasion
of Democratic love-feast, at Masonic
Temple, in Baltimore, on Wednesday
evening. Bourbonism held high revel,
and the eloquent orator Of the occasion,
as if to atone for his past party sins,
out-heroded Herod in demagoguery and
partizanship. Politics make strange
bed-fellows; so at least thought honest
Republicans two years ago when they
dotted their party garments, and laid
down (not to sweet political Dreams
by the side of Mr. Wallis. Now, for
many long years, the Democrats of Bal
timore had been paying Difference to the
opinions of this gentleman in matters
political, with a What think you,
Mr. Wallis2" Don't you say SO and
so. Mr.. Wallis ?"-and had always held
this not over-amiable gentleman within
the party traces by tsndering him this or
that nomination, as occasion happened,
which, gratifying the vanity of the man,
kept him in temper, both with himself
and with them. But, unfortunately,
two years ago, Mr.. Wallis really wanted
to go to Congress He was too proud
to ask his party for the nomination, and
another more popular gentleman Sc
cured it Piqued, and disappointed by
his party's imagined il-treatment of
him, and jealous beside of Pinkney
Whyte's influence, he turned his back
upon his party, and took refuge under
the banner Of Reform" He failed, as
all men inspired by similar motives
deserve to, and after two wears of
patient retirement he now gives his
pleasing features fresh coat of war
paint, and resumes his role of Bourbon
chieftain. But he is not immortal
enough to bury the party Ratchet clear
out of sight. While enthusiastic hench-
men roared themselves hoarse over
every outburst of his eloquence and
applauded the gesture more than the
sentiment of the speaker, Mr.. Wallis,
with all the characteristic GOODNESS of
an experienced pleader, still found the
opportunity to give w. Pinkney Whyte
a thrust under the fifth rib when, :"
said he, the prodigal returns, accord
ing to Scripture, the fatted calves are
killed, but if there are any fatted calves
in the democratic party who think they
are to be sacrificed, beg them to be
quiet. Laughter. They are perfectly
welcome to browse in the pastures in
which they have fattened. and to be
alongside the teats which they have
sucked" Laughter. 1t is needless
to remark that the point Of the juvenile
bovine figure was duly appreciated by
Mr.. Whyte's friends. That Mr.. Wallis
is happy, and once again on the high
road to the Democratic paradise, from
which no outside temptation can ever
again illure him, is evident We do
not wish him success in politics Pique,
not principle, is his inspiring motive,
and it does not deserve to succeed, even
in the Democratic party.
