Already the contest for Office has become
ardent and bitter 10 BALTIMORE city. Both
parties Seem discordant and disaffected over
the late political sven.s. The friends of Mr..
Latrobe, who was so disastrousy defeated in
the late mayoralty contest are standing up in
the high places Of political synagogues shout
ing for Republican candidate and "reform."
Chagrn and disappointment over their failure
TO control for the next year the municipal
offices OF the city has driven them to seek the
haunis Of that great and glorious "reform
party" which so graciously reformed us out
Of the presidency. Already has the electricity
Of public meetings begun TO play upon the
political corpse Of one Henry NJ. Warfeld,
who wasso neatly inferred by the Democracy
Of Baltimore two years ago, hoping to reani-
mate and resurrect him to do that mighty act
OF reform which has for its chief object the
defeat Of our party's nominee. How sweet
and joyful il Is to behold this wondrous re-
Cancellation. Two years ago the friends Of
Messrs. Latrobe and Warfeld, who were then
rival candidates, were amusing themselves
calling each other thieves, robbers and plum
derers to-day they nestle together like mating
doves, kissing and cooling and singing ire
form"
But while the scenery Of this grand drama
n the Democratic ranks is shifting, little by
play, delightfully."- amusing, is being performed
by the Radical party. Col. Edward wilkins
has for some time beer collector at the por. Of
Baltimore making good officer and giving
general satisfaction. But Mr.. Hayes, after as
surfing Col. wilkins that he would not be
removed, has lent his ear TO the melodies OF
Fulton, and while laborng under the musical
spell has appointed John L Thomas to the
position. Bat Col. wilkins very emphatically
refuses TO resign and can apple OF discord"
fails into the Radical ranks, and the Baltimore
american is sad and disconsolate; one eye
rests lovingly upon that homeopathic speci-
men Of humanity, John l. Thomas, the other
is'wSeping as.ream Of grief over the follies
and foibles Of the Democratic party while lis
two hands are turning the crank Of the bat
Atery which applies the electric fluid to the de-
nnct- bodyof Warfeld
Thus do Baltimore politics tumultuously
bss amid the innumerable breakers of Office
Seekers while Col. Kane rides safely along
upon the Democratic ticket to the position Of
Mayor Of the city.
