A TOAST.

"TAe Democratic party, though 1t has
"knoon defsat, has neoer hnomn dishonor.
"hs principles are those Of fair dealing and
"honest legisyation."
This admirable compliment paid De-
mocracy by the blatant Mr.. Blackburn,
Of Kentucky, on Monday night at the
Monument Square meeting, in the city
of Baltimore, was doubtless especially
appreciated by three gentlemen present
we presume on that interesting occa-
sion. We mean Mr.. Carroll, popularity
supposed to be Governor of Maryland !;
Mr. Hamilton, who would like to be :;
and Mr. Banuon, somewhat extensively,
if not favorably, known throughout the
State. This Mandatory sentence reads
like toast to the leaders of Maryland
Democracy. SO pertinent is it in its ap-
propriateness and so forcble in its truth
Imagine the scene, a Bourbon banquet
after the Mayoralty contest of Wednes-
day.
To the first sentiment of the toast ::
"Ihe Democratic party, though Hhas knoon
"defeat, has necer known dishonor." Hear
the eloquent and hight-toned Carroll,
the recipient of fraudulent political
gifts, the champion Of tainted Guber-
material title, respond. Ne-ever--
ne-ever-never- known dishonor
Hamilton doubtless enjoved tat hugely
And then the Western MARYLAND . Re-
former within the party furnishing
in his own person, the faithful example
of the methods of "tair dealing," for
which his party is so distinguished and
of which the second clause of the toast
is so eulogistic, needs must respond
And with what force Of eloquence and
power too: SITS principles are those Of fair
"dealing" (?) He recalls, with a big
round oath, the recollection of those
sweaty nights of July, 1915, when,
through the long and tedious hours, the
weary Waterman upon the towers and
battlements of his beleagured castle
Nhe Maryland Institute) looked long
inglv, but in vain, for some show of
far dealing. The morning came, but
with it no relief, for the honest cham
pions of an honester cause. Blackburn
certainly struck the Hamilton nail ex-
actly on the head, when he thus eulo-
gized Maryland Democracy. But there
sits Damon at the festive board, ready,
respondent either to the closing clause
of the toast, or, if you please, with his
own claws closing upon the spoils Of
"honest legislation.' Can you, gentle
Demmykrat reader, for a moment i'm
agine that Blackburn had Damon in
his minds eye when he buttered bis
telling toast? All how the responsive
chords of oily Gammon's sympathetic
nature throbbed with gratitude at the
pleasing recognition of his merit Party
honor, fair dealing, and honest legislation!
Last sweet Michael, but not least,
Thy toasted genius, at thy party's feast,
Hath recognition.
Thy patient virtues shine sublime,
A beacon for all coming time
In legislation.

well enough. Direct accountability,
however. for public trusts can only be
secured by selecting the best men, He

success as public officer If this be
indeed a recommendation for public
confidence, we have much to hope for
the Republican ticket now before the
voters of the county.

MORE than 10000 Republicans alb
sented themselves from the polls in
Ohio. Had one-half or even one-third
of them come out, the Republican
ticket would have been elected by a
good majority. Those $4,000 are and
will remain Republicans They have
not changed their politics, for the first
year a man makes such change he
always votes for the party to which he
goes with the zeal of new converts, and
these men didn't vote at all. At the
Presidential election $4,000 Republi-
can votes were cast in Ohio. The defeat
in that State, therefore, is chargeable to
the fact that every fifth Republican
stayed at home. To be forewarned is
be forearmed All the Republicans of
Cecil have to do to insure brilliant
victory is to get out their vote. 70
this end let every Republican bend all
his efforts, and success is sure

We give below the minute adopted
by the Synod of Baltimore at its recent
sessions in Washington, ID. c., on Friday,
the 18th inst, in the case of the appeal
and complaint of Rev. George Morrison os
the Presbytery of Baltimore. The vote of
the Synod adopting this paper as express
sive of the mind of the Court, was twenty
four in the affirmative to twelve in the
negative:
"The Synod sustans in part the appeal
and complaint of Rev. George Morrison
against the Presbytery of Baltimore. on
the ground that the inferior Court did not
proceed according to the principles of the
Book (of Dicipline). But the Synod does
not sustain the appeal and complaint as to
the injury done the appellant"

THERE is horrible suspicion abroad
that the editor of The Democrat is
sitting on BOTH horns of dilemma
If he publishes that letter from Comp

reasons for the removal of Col. John

incense certain gentlemen with whom
ne is now at peace If he does not
publish it, certain other of his party

ARREST OF A Prominent CITIZEN OF
WILMINGTON, DELAwARE.-The Whining.
ton Del EceTy Epsning and Commercial
states that job II. Jackson, president of
the Jackson e Sharp Car Company of that
city, was arrested Wednesday on a requisi
ton from the Governor of Georgia and
taken South on the limited express at noon.
The Commercial states that Mr.. Jackson's
friends declined to give the exact charge
against him, but enough was learned to
tend to the conclusion that it is a matter in
which his reputation for honesty is not af-
fected, it being not the result of his own acts,
but the acts OF another man in Georgia, in
which Mr.. Jackson has been, to all appear
ances. unknowingly involved. The man
referred to is named kimball, who, for
some time, was engaged in running State
railroad in Georgia, and charges are now
brought by the State of mismanagement,
defalcation and embezzlement Mr.. Jack
sons name appears on the books, which,
it is stated, have been doctored by Kimball
SO as to make it appear that the former is
involved, he having furnished the road with

hope of heavenly happiness was firm, rest

and said she felt as il she was going on
some pleasant journey. To little girl
that she loved, she calmly said, 60 Good

mates she said: ''Do not weep for me, Liz

THE House of Representatives open
ed with prayer on Monday, but ad-
journed early, to go to a horse-race, at
Baltimore, on Tuesday. To people
holding old-fashioned, but still orthodox
ideas Of the propreties and dignitics
that are supposed to distinguish the
highest popular representative body of
the American people, the spectacle of
Congress, as body, en- route for the
race course is not particularly pleasing.
Individual Congressman NAV not i'm

nifty as mentors or by their character as
men, and to compare some of whom
with so noble an animal as horse
would be cruel and insulting to the
instincts of the latter Now Bebee, the
congressional acrobat, would doubtless
be sat home" amid the surroundings
of a race course, and Cox, the jester,
with the merry music Of his cap and
bells, would be in heaven at i'imlico.
But irrespective of the disqualilcations
individual Congressman for higher and
more respectable associations, there is
supposed to belong to Congress as a
body an impersonal dignity that does
not condescend to the level of the race
track. Parliament, it is true, NAV adj
journ in honor of the Derby, and humor
in any manner it may see fit English
national ideas and prejudices. But why
Congress should for the noncc nation
alize Pimlico, it is not so clear, nor why
the wheels of legislation should stop to
afford turfhunting Congressman the
opportunity Of losing or winning few
dollars Oh fayorite nag We have no
disposition to indulge in expressions of
mawkish morality even upon SO prolific
a theme as the average Congressman !;
but really, in view of the pressing
public business necessities that COM

judges of election were not Republicans

Republican was admitted as a Judge
he was not allowed to look at the tally

were as plenty as leaves, and repeating
