The issue fthe Tm7s OF Est rdt., being that i'm
mediatey preceding the late Democratic Conven-
ton, reads its political brothers a long lesson on
the prophecies and duties of conventions, cautions
experienced politicians and wire workers" to
''refrain from inermeddling with the conyen-
ton then about TO be held and used this signi-
cant language
Through means and appliances well known
to experienced politicians and wire-workers con
vcntions are too often manipulated so as to give
the nomination to those who otherwise could not
obtain it. We give fair notice and due warning
to all such if there be any, to refrain from inter-
medling with the body which will assemble in
this town on Tuesday, as we shall feel ourselves
in honor bound to oppose any improper nomIna-
ton or one brought about by disreputable means,
and we confident that even with our support,
could it lie obtained, such a nomination would
be defeated"
The plain meaning of which is that if the nom
nations made by the convention did not suit the
Times then that paper would he under no ohliga-
irons to seppart the ticket. This is a right not
exclusively pertaining to the Times, but is also
one which persons may exercise at times 20 adj
vantage. If the TInss repudate the action o
its convention because it chooses and yet con

same thing, and ''ifso, why not27

The State Treasnrershin

It is said that Hon John Merryman, of
Haysffeld, Baltimore county, will be a
prominent rival of Barnes Compton, Esq.
Tor the State Treasurership.
We find the aforegoing in one of our cx-
changes, but we really forget in what one,
and from it we conclude that even two old
Democratic cronies can't be still but will
up and at each other when the choicest cut
in all the flesh pots is the subject of conten-
ton. 1t was the golden apple Of goddess
shat set the Trojan and the Greek to fight
ing, and now it is for "the golden keys of
the golden vaults" that these two veteran
politicians are to have manly set-to.-
With all our heart we wish Mr.. Compton
may beat the ambitious Mr. Mcrryman, but
then we'll shed no tears if things are other
wise and Mr.. Merryman should beat the
tenacious Mr.. Compton. 1t is thought by
many that Mr. Compton has been sucking
that stick of taffy long enough, and that
Mr.. Merryman should, for awhile, have
healthy tug at it. Even Bulge and To-day,
Helen's babies, were unselfsh enough to
pass the candy from one to thu other and
when the mother asl ed Bulge what he was
doing with Toddy's candy that young gen
tleman hsped out, as well as he could, that
ne was only trying to see how To-day can
dy would feel in his mouth Mr. Merry
man wants to make like experiment with
Mr. Compton's tafy and Mr. Compton
should do like To-day, pass It over.

Hon. Alexander H. Stephens.

This distinguished gentleman, leading
Georgia statesman and Vice President of the
Southern oOnfederacy throughout the war
not long since spent few days in Balti-
more He was Of course big bonanza
to the modest newspaper reporters of that
city, He was interviewed and freely gave
his opinions on all the subjects touched
upon, Among others he was asked the
question do you not think, sir, that Mr..
Hayes was seated BY fraud?" Although a
Democrat Mr.. Stephens was candid enough
TO speak his convictions and promptly say
in reply think MIR. Hayes tenure is firm
err than that of any President ever inaugu-
rated in the United States He holds his
Office by the judgment of the highest judi
cial authority IN the land. Even if
thought their decision wrong, which | do
not, | should bow to it as | would to any
decree from the bench.

handsome and well meritcd tributes to the
memory of the dead prelatc, and the many
thousands of people who joined in the pro

through the parlors to take last look at

the popular esteem in which he was held

An Ex-Governor on Intelligence

Mr.. Thompson does not like the re- .
mark made by one Of the ex-Goyernors at
the Maryland Institute meeting rejecting
upon the intelligence of workingmcn. 1t /
was an unfortunate remark. and Mr. /
Thompson has made no little capital out Of
IT, But it was not less unfortunate than
untrue Workingmen as class may have
little education, but intelligence is entirely
a different thing from education. 1t may,
and very often does haaasn. that man
has a good deal Of ed ien. and very
.T,tle intelligence. 1t issTafortunate that
cd1eation cannot create Intelligence, and
that our schools not unfrequently turn out
many learned fools.
lin spite of the Ex-Governor. ''intelli-
gence" obstinately refuses to be cooped up
and confined in a school-room, and to be
considered altogether inseparabe from a
certain routine called education. 1t even
occasionally deserts ex-Governors, and takes
up its abode with people who really have
"no right" to it whatsoever. Really, the
exGoyernor and people of his class ought
to get out patent-right to all the intelli-
gencc in the country otherwise their rights
will be in constant danger of being invaded
by these working people. This kind of
thing has been going on long enough, you
know, says the Ex-Governor; these work
ing people pretending to have intelligence.
when it is well known fact that all the in
tellig;nce that ever was, OF that is now
or that ever will be hereafter, is exclusive
ly confined to people like myself people
who have education, and are ex- Governors.
The evil is really one of old date, as
the x-t'overnor says, and has sorely tried
the patience of people of the .ex- Governor

SO it seems that at the lategreat Demo
cratic blowing at the Maryland Institute
the workingman was denounced by Dem
ocratic Ex-Governor as being deficient il
intelligence. To US it appears that it is tc
the virtue, intelligence, skill and industry
of the workingman, and men of modcrat,
means, that every prosperous community
is principally indebted for its measure o
thrift and to the schoming, selfish, plum.

the cause of bankruptcy ana ruin We dc
not find that the cx-Governor's TRADE fur
nishes any proof of intelligence as being t,
any extent possession of his own, in fac
we rather fear ''too much learning hatl

cratic oracle is vacantly gossiping in Balti
more about the Intelligence of the working
man, the little Democratic Delphic, here
abouts, is sweetly prattling about amplitud,

There is new sect in Russia called
The Purifiers" belonging to the Greek
Church. Their leading doctrines are that
all must marry on coming ofage; that the
husband must be subordinate to the wife
and recognize her as at the head Of the
family, and that once week he must CON
fess his sins to his wife. These doctrines
would hardly go down, where they seem to
be 50 much opposed to auricular confession

Another Hint for MarYlanders

The Lexington (Va.) Gazette says that
Mr.. Hall Laekery and family, of Rock
bridge county, in which Lexington is stu
ated, who for the past two years has been
living in Florida, has returned to hi native
heath. He reports the Virginia conmun-
ity at Gainesville as dissatisfied, and that as
soon as sickness in their families will permit
them to travel they will turn thei f ees also
towards home. This is the experience of
good many people who in moment of dis
satisfaction have emigratcd to the far West
and far South 1t might be well for those
of our own citizens who are contemplating
an exodus to unknown regions to consider
these facts. When health, society, oppor-
tuuities of education and nearness to martot
are considered, there is no place better
than Maryland.
