OUR CANDIDATE.

The harmonious action of the Democracy
in the nomination of Hon. Geo. Peter, of this
county, as the standard bearer of the Democ.
racy in the Sixth district on Wednesday last,
is the first wise step towards a victory in the
Congressional 6gh;. II nominated a man who
has the love and confidence of his home peo-
land vino can poll every Democratic vote in
this county with many from the enemy . ranks
and we trust with the aid of the representa-
tive men Of the other counties, and we have
no cause TO judge otherwise, he may poll full
party vote there also.
Montgomery returns thanks to Western
Maryland for the grateful honor conferred
upon one of her chosen sons, and when 10 the
future Montgomery's services are needed to
advance the interests of the Democracy of
Western Maryland they will be offered with
alacrity. The fight has now begun, and let
every man feel it his duty and pleasure to put
his shoulder to the wheel and labor diligently
for a successful Issue of Democratic principles
and the integrity of our country.

w hat Maine Means.

Capital is proverbialy timid, yet capital is
not scared. Never did American credit stand
SO high as at the present moment, on the heels
of what seems to be the great Greenback vic
tory In Maine. The premium on gold has sunk
out Of sight and greenbacks are practically at
par. The United States bonds are at the top
of the market and Wall street ignores the fact
that an election has been held in Maine and
That Butler is going 10 be the Governor of
Massachusetts, on an anti-capital platform
But the bark Of these things is worse than the
bite. Our people have large ballast of COM
mon sense. That the Maine election should
have had no appreciable effect upon so sensi-
tive barometer as the money market shows
that public opinion is not at all inundated
by what seems to be a victory of the Green
hackers. If there were danger in il capital
would take swift alarm. II there were danger
OF reputation of United States bonds they
would be thrown on the market by those has
tening to ''stand from under" and they would
fall in price. So capital, all cowardly as il is,
is not scared. II looks on and smiles.
II would be mistake to suppose that the
crush of the Republican party in Maine is due
to the ascendancy ofany peculiar set of ideas
and convictions on financial questions. The
Greenback. Labor party has no set OF financial
ideas upon which the members of II are united.
They are united only for destructive purposes
not for constructive. There could hardly be
a measure proposed to cure what the party of
discomfort holds to be existing evils that
would unite the party. As soon as the pooled
issues become uupooled-which must happen
| as soon as legislation begins-the latent an
tagonisms between the Socialists, Innationists,
| Repudiationisis, Labor Reformers, Commun-
lists, disguised Republicans in some States and
disguised Democrats in others-in fact, all the
elements of discomfort would break out into
open antagonism and thus paralyze concerted
and united action. The Green back Labor par
| ty is thus all-powerful to vote Republican
ideas out, but not to vote dangerous ideas in
The true significance Of the Maine election
is disgust at the long aud selfish tyranny Of
the Republican party there, combined with the
natural American fondness for change, for III
own sake. This may be very irrational sen.
timeni, but it is a very powerful one and ha:
accomplished several complete political revo
lutions 10 this country. When men begin Il
say. Things are pretty bad aud not likely tc
get better while the dominant party stays in
we want change; we want a new deal al
around'-when men begin to talk that wa,

and out. That is what the Maine election says
