The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-12-22

Itappears that the late election in
Georgia was sort of political earth
quake. In every instance except
two Independent candidates were
successful wherever placed in the
field. This will probably give the
Independents eighty members of the
legislature, instead of twelve, the
number they had in the last assem-
bly,. The New York Tribune cores
pendent says that prominent South
ern leaders at Washington express
the opinion to-day that the Georgia
elections indicate the beginning of a
new order CT things in the South.
The negro vote, they say, was divi-
ded. There was no color line; and
the Independent and Bourbon Dem
ocrats both sought the aid of the black
man. The result has been the defeat
of the Bourbons in almost every in
stance. The independent tickets
were all anti-Bourbon.

HAYES Policy Sustained.

We have most gratifying results OF
two recent elections, from the two
extremes, Massachusetts and South
Carolina, which isan evidence of the
popular administration of President
Hayes. The election for State Sena-
tor in Beaufort county, South Caro-.
lima, which includes several sea is
lands, containing large negro popu-
lation, took place on the 10th inst.
Notwithstanding a vigorous Demo-
cratic canvass j. w. Collins, the Re.
publican candidate, was elected by
1900 majority. This is the first cleo
ton in this State this year which has
been carried by the Republicans.
The vote for Mayor of Boston at the
municipal election on 18th inst, was
for Pierce, Rep, q, 033; Prince, Dem
ocrat, 22,S82. Pierce's majority, 2, isl,

Baltimore SurVeYOrship.

The President has decided that he
will not settle the question of the
Baltimore surveyorship until after
the holiday recess. Col. Gilpin, the
present incumbent. will of course
hold the Office Gd interim. In the
meantime new and formidable can.
didate has turned up in the person OF
DIR. G.. E. Porter, late Republican
candidate for Comptroller of the
Treasury. 1t is said that Collector
Thomas claims the right to have a
voice in the selection of his executive
officers, 1.-THE surveyor being one of
them, and that he will strongly urge
the appointment of DIR. Porter. 1t
now seems to be pretty well settled
that DIR. Steiner, of Frederick, will
not accept the place, and as the Presi-
dent has expressed his determination
to make a nomination from Western
Maryland, the real contest will be
between Col. Gilpin and DR.. Porter.

1t is said that drunkenness has in
creased to shameful extent in the
House of Representative of the Uni
ted States. Such prominent and in
fluential Democratic journals as the
New York Sun and World and the
Cincinnati Enquirer, no longer hest
tate to speak out upon the subject.
For several years past we have wit
messed with shame the drunkenness
of members ofthe Maryland Legisla-
ture, but we hope that the next Leg
islature will be composed of more
sober and respectable material. 1t is
too bad that State Legislatures and
the Congress Of the nation should be
disgraced by men who are continually
under the influence of strong drinks,
uniting them for the proper dis
charge of their duties as the repre-
sentatives of the people, but it is the
peoples fault. Why elect such men ?
The curse that King Alcohol has
wrought upon mankind the world
over should cause the friends of local
option in our State to make strong
effort this winter to induce the Leg
islature to give the people the right
to decide at the ballot box whether
this growing evil shall be longer per-
mitted to remain among us.

The Democratic members of the
House are after some of their collie
CUES with a sharp stick on account of
their continued absence from their
seats. AT caucus Of that party the
other day, there was some very plain
language used with refernce to those
who thus neglect their duties. Mr..
Wood is credited with the remark
that if these members would give
more attention to legislative business
and less to the numerous bar-rooms
around the Capitol, the interests of
the party would be better served and
the country's too. All of which APP
epars most sound and just.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1877-12-22

after an arrangement of many years.
The party could not afford to have it
otherwise and the friends of both are
reioiced that it has come about. All
the developments 80 far announced
by the several committees inVeSti-
eating our relations with Mexico, go
to vindicate the foresight of Mr..
Blaine in his 4th of July speech, and
to confirm the belief that we have a
large element on this side the Rio
Grande, striving to precipitate war
with that country, including men
high in official position. Whether
we escape or not, the feeling is almost
uniform that a very slight indiscre-
ton would now provoke actual war.
The Paris Exposition bill as
amended by the Senate, passed and
Mr.. Mccormick was confirmed as
Commissioner General without oppo-
sition.
No more fragrant outrage on the
rights of voters was ever perpetrated
by the Democratic party than seating
Patterson, who was repudiated at the
polls, as the Representative Of Colo
RADIO. The admission of Butler to
the upper House was quite as JUS
titiable.

Wendell PhiIlins

The Baltimore SIN, of well-knoWn
Democratic proclivitiers speaking OF
the notorious fau't-finder, Wendell
Phillips, well says, that y.
"Wendell Phillips denouncing
President Hayes as a Northern
snob" bowling down to the Southern
people to obtain their favor is on a
par with the denunciations of the
President by Senator Patterson.
Neither Phillips nor Patterson, that
we are aware of, ever smelled gun
powder in the late war. Phillips
never exposed his precious person in
a contest in which Hayes freely shed
his blood. Yet the stay-at-home pat
riot derounces the fighting man as a
"Northern snob."
We are glad to see a paper of such
universal circulation and popularity
giving utterance to language so APP
pfepriate. These are the men who
never smelled gunpowder who are
continually harping against the
President for his conciliatory course
and who would like again to see our
country plunged into an unnatural
war, instead of, like good citizens,
cementing the bond of brotherly love
are endeavcring to open anew the
healing wounds. Let the conserva'
tive press throughout the country
denounce the anti American feeling
that prompts such men as Phillips,
and we will hear less of these denun.

The following paragraph from an
exchange is good, and coming at this
particular juncture is peculiarly ac-
ceptable, furnishing, as it does, in
formation in regard to the great
staple which is certainly peculiar
"The cotton crop will probably be
what it will be, and we have reason
to suppose that we shall see what we
shall see. AS for the weather, it has
been what weather frequently is, and
its influence upon the crop has influ-
enced sundry views. Reports at best
are only reported statements, and
they are generally good when they
are good, as bad when they are bad.
Best estimates of the next crop fix it
as something larger or something
smaller than the last-unless itshOuld
happen to be just the same. Regard
ing futures, we believe they must be
passed, , as at present all said about
them is taken up by somebody.
The above estimates We'are confident
of. They are based upon the general
estimate of our particular estimates
of last week."

results that will set the whole Cont

when the vote was taken it stood In
favor of confirmation sixteen Demo

combinations twenty eight RepubIi.

Democrats who voted to reject were

annoyed about the matter.

1t looks very much as if our Next
can neighborS are spelling for fight.
That erratic nation has not had a
very warm affection for us since the
annexation of Texas to this cOun try,
nor has it forgotten the severe pun
melting it received at our hands
prior to the accomplishment Of that
result, The memory of the CALLING
defeats it sustained at MOntery
Benna Vista, Chaupultepece and on
other fields, thirty years ago, is still
fresh in their minds and is doubtless
the cause of much of the hostile feel
ing which prompts the frequent
fOrays across the Rio Grande into
our own territory. Whether the
securement of Texas from Mexico
was a just and honorable transaction,
there exist grave doubts. Mexico
gave her consent to this slice of her
territory absorbed by United States,
but she did it is true, at the point OF
SCOTS bayOnets, and has been sullen
and peevish ever since. The treaty
thus wrung from her by main force,
she has never observed with very
strict fidelity, and the recent numer-
Gus raids across the border by her
guerilla bands is but the out crop
ping of that spirit of revenge so
strongly implanted in the Mexican
heart, Our people on the border are
entitled to protection and we are glad
that the matter is attracting the
serious attention of Congress at last.
