Their Customary Attitude.

The Democracy of Baltimore should not
lose sight of thu fact that the Republicans
hereabouts are gloaiing over the present dis
sessions iu the Democratic ranks and are just
now INDUCING in the pleasing hope that these
unseemly wranglings may in the end bring
grist to their depleted mill. They evidently
expect TO Introduce this year something en-
tirely novel in the way OF local politics,
which they propose 20 call ''new party"
but which win be, il reality, nothing moro
than q Repah!ican-- nsc~erscnt in disgnisa.
Now this dodge won't do. II is the old story
Of the lions skin being too short and expos
ing 10 public view the other animals waving
ears. II must not be supposed that the family
jars they are now enjoying among themselves
will interfere with their future raid upon the
tesh-pots, for when the time comes We pre-
diet they will promptly close up the broken
ranks and go in solid column with their ac-
castomed vim for the leaves and fishes. The
true Democracy OF this city, who are earnestly
striving for reform within the party lines and
arc anxious 10 purge the party OF the corrupt
elements which threaten Il with destruction,
are perfectly we'll aware OF the danger menace
Ing their local organization and they are de-
iermined 20 correct these evils themselves
without extraneous aid or outside combina-
lions. II is no doubt very difficult al once 10

aud great care must be taken as to the best
| means TO be employed TO bring about the
reformation needed. "If TO do" says Poriia,
10 the M,Teham Of Venice; ''if to do, were
US easy as TO know what were good TO do,
chapels had been churches and poor mems
| cottages palaces )" But one thing is certain.
Nothing must he done to place 10 jeopardy
the Democratic party or imperil any Of its
time honored principles. We want "new
party "-aihlation with those who for selfish
and interested purposes seek TO break up the
Democratic o-ganization-no action OF Any
hp& That Ia the remotest degree will seek TO
tak@she scepter from Democratic hands and
place IL 10 the grasp Of eAfoie Republication.
This Is not what the honest Democrats OF Bal
iimore are striving for and under no possible
contingency will they aid in lis consummation.
They only want reform within the lines and
IN order TO accomplish this successfully they
intend to keep their own lines firm and IN

The canvass that will end tomorrow has
been thorough in every respect. The aspir-
ants have worked most vigorously and the
party has now the opportunity, in making
most careful selections. of sienciug all COM
plant on the score of unfit public men. We
have given space to complete statement Of
all grievances, real and imagined, that the
Democratic party might be able to see more
clearly the nature Of the arising issues.
Re.renchment is a duty that is to be dis
charged, but with care and caution, bearing
10 mind that the knife is TO be used not for
the purpose of crippling, hut to cut away all
that is useless. And where reductions ale to
be made, the party is the best TO know how
far that reduction is to extend. In all cases
Iet not n single cent be abated until every cir
cumstance and item Of expense in each pro-
posed change is completely investigated and
properly ixed. The people want retrench-
ment, but they don't want anything that is
unfair and grasping. The Legislative ticket
must be selected 10 this end.
Notwithstanding the strenuous eIforts 70
kesppQlitics on n he "a copsARiisBir xluuF'
have been onfcropping Of . desire 70 turn sh'
convention Into political party whose oni,
apology for existence was that the Democrat
can but won, satisfy the people. Ia view o.
this every effort should be made to preclud.
the slightest ground for q new movement ia
this county, not because we think that ia this
contest it would succeed, bnt because the
importance of other contests In the future ad.
nit of no new discussions nor of the aggrl-
walton Of the present ones.
Then the duty Of every Democrat Ia % at
tend the primaries to, morrow and do his best
to nominate good men, so that II any one has
to eat molasses out Of tar barrel, let him be

When we think over the defeat Of last Fall
We become deeply impressed with the fact that
to repair the effects Of that disaster the great
est tact is to be exercised. That there is some
doubt over the Judicial election is admitted,
but that there is strong and at present an
almost relentless feeling against Frederick
county and among large class of on E people
there can be no doubt. To still further in
cense our people, or even such portion, is
to make the chances in either this Judicial or
Congressional district more desperate than
they are at present, for by avoiding tho stir
ring up of bitterness there remains good op-
por.unity to be improved.
tits not likely TO appease the natural dis
trust entertained by many down here towards
Frederick, II after all that has passed Ereder-
rex contests the claim set up by this county for
tho Court OF Appeals Clerkship. Mr.. Bowlus
cannot get the nomination, but il his friends
withdraw hin, now, and send their delegation
Instructed to Montgomery county's claim, they
will-hase secured eetter feeling in the party.
The Democracy Of Frederick has done great
harm and they kuowi 1t; lot them begin tc
make amends.

Democratic conventions we're held in Ale
gany, Anne Arundel and Calvert counties on
Tuesday. In Allegany the delegates to the
State convention are W. 7. Jamison, A. Halle,
W. NJ. Price, Thos. Deyanny, and Hanson
Wilson. The convention was harmonious,
one John McCardle attempting to raise row,
but signally failed.
In Anne Arundel the greatest confusion
prevailed. Gen. Bond and NJ. Bannon each
attempted TO secure the chsirmanship of the
convention, and row and two sets of dele
gates and two county tickets were the couse-
queuce. The Bannon wing sends to the State
convention Jno. Ireland, J. s. Robinson, ].
T. Clarke, and Samuel Smith. The Bond
wing appointed Thos. WEIGH Frank A. Bond,
W. B. Chairs, and Lewis Griffith.
Calvert county made local nominations and
appointed delegates favorable to Jno. T. Bris-
coe for Clerk of the Court OF Appeals.

The loudest cheers that were brought out
BY the speech-making at the Republican, re-

when Representative Burrows said "When
this war was over, we made mistake that we
did not, under the Constitution, arrest, try,
aud hang every leader Of that rebellion. We
ought to have made treason SO odiocs that the
sons Of rebel sires would have denied their

ideas as 10 the pivotal State ia making up
the Democratic President al ticket have GEN.
tired upon New York and Ohio as tho States
most likely TO furnish the Presidential timber.
This Of course depends upon the success OF
she party in these two States In the coming
State elections In Ohio the indications arc
most promising for Ewing's success, the most
disputed ground being tho Southern part Of
the State, where the Democrats will put forth
the greatest efforts TO place the twen:y-three
electoral votes of Ohio in the Democratic COL
pmu. For some time past New York has been
Democratic and 1t was mainly through Tilden
that this State was wrested from the Radicals
The probable denomination of Lucius NJ.
Robinson for Governor will settle the question
that Tilden has not lost power in bis State,
and bis grasp upon the Presidency is likely
TO be frightened by the Republicans who in
tcnd to oppose Robinson with Connel, weak
and Objectionable man. II is natural 10 the
shrewdness of Tilden to lay hold upon Ohio
BY pushing Ewing's cause TO victory, and L
successful here, with New York and Ohio
and their fifty-nine votes in the convention at
his back Tilden will ascend to tho FIRST place.
The nomination of Ewing as second man will
follow logically If Tilden is nominated upon
the grounds set forth in the premises. The
South, though opposed to both these men, will
be forced to yield in the end to the power Of
Ohio and New York should circumstances es-
tablish union between these States. This
ticket, though probably not agreeable TO local
prejudice in some sections, will be strong
one; and the individual differences OF opinion
OF the two men can be as easily reconciled as
Tilden and Hendricks were accommodated
upon the same comprehensive platform last
Presidential contest.
Hayes has three important appointments TO
make in the shape of two foreign missions
and judgeship, which can be made to tell
upou the chances Of the Republican aspiranta
for the Presidential nominations, and il is not
unlikely that Sherman's bid win be success

Gen. Frank A. Bond drew pistol in the

this 1t would seem that Maryland is the only
spot where remains the slightest evidences

Tuesday are something that Mr.. Bannon and

be regretted that the temper of these war-like
men should in any way reflect upon the
Democratic party.
