Republicans say Democrats shall "bite the
dust" this Fall
They say Democrats are thieves.
They say Democratic principles are and
always have been destructive to a Replbli
can form Of government
They say the negro is a fit associate for
any Democrat or his offspring, male or fe-
male.
They say our present form Of government
shall be changed 10 some other with Grant
as dictator, rather than let the Democracy
govern
They say they are going to hold on to and
divide the spoils.
They say Democrats perjure themselves
when they asseverate that the Republican
party embraces a dishonest man.
They say the late rebellion was sneak
ing, cowardly ambush to destroy Northern
souls who were in search of Southern des-
peradoes to march them to justice.
They say every Democrat should be dis
franchised, as he was in this State when the
Republicans had control of it, on account OF
his illiteracy and of the principles which he
now holds and has heretofore held
They say, in a word, their behest must be
hearkened unto.
Can any Democrat approve such senti-
ments as the above held by the Republican
party against himself?
Can you give them or their allies in an
Independent garb any aid in the coming
election.

Mr.. Hamilton Interviewed.

From The Washington Post
One of the Posts ubiquitous sections was
an accidental passenger on westbound Bal
timore and Ohio train Saturday, on which
Hon. VIM. . Hamilton, Maryland's coming
governor, was journeying to his home among
the hills of Washington county. The dis
tinguished statesman had been visiting Wor.
cester, Wicomico and other districts of his
State making speeches.
"What are the prospects for the Democracy
this fall in the lower counties of Mary Wand p
queried the reporter,
There will be no difficulty about them
rejolned Mr.. Hamilton, confidently
'Iow about Western Maryland p
Montgomery, Washington and Garrett
are all right"
"Allegany and Frederick 2"
Frederick will poll IL big vote. Ia Ale
gany there is some trouble but think we
will get through there all right"
"What will be the ultimate effect of the
local disputes in BaltimOre2 viii the oppo-
sition TO the third term candidates amount to
anything serious2'
There can be no doubt about the success
OF the Democratic ticket The Republicans
will save the Democratic ticket, as the people
will not trust those fellows in office 4"
From the subject of Stale politics the con-
versatiun dlified into the subject OF the next
presidential candidate.
"Of Whom ARE the Democrats of MARYLAND
talking for President was the inquiry.
They have not thought of that question
being engaged in local canvasses, but it will
come up after few weeks The presidential
candidate, however, must be man who can
carry New York"
Don't Won think Mr.. Tilden will he re-
nominated ?"
al don't know. The great trouble with
Mr.. Tilden is Tammany and it remains To
be seen II he can carry New York.
"iOu don't think the Tammany troubles
are 10 he 80 easily reconciled, then p
81 think they are more important and Sc
rious than we have been led TO suppose -
"Whom, then do you consider the most
eligible candidate 2"
81 think Seymour is the man. We can car
ny New York IL he will accept the nominal
ton 4"
What do you think of Judge Thurman ?"
III doubt " he or any western man could
carry New York The candidate must be nm
eastern man and one who could accomplish
that; every thing depends on New York ="
Grant appears TO he the coming man on
the other side3'
81 doubt that. Sherman and Blaine will
use their greatest endeavors To beat him -
Mr.. Hamilton spoke most encouragingly Of
the outlook for the Maryland Democracy this
fall, aud said that Western Maryland would
not suffer Republican TO be elected in the
sixth district again.

1oM The Voters of Montgomery County:
Having become tired of cliques and fac
tions and convinced that the machinery of the
Democratic party is no longer run for the ad-
vancement of Democratic principles, but sole
ly in the interests of few self-consttuted
leaders and office-seekers, hereby, regardless
OF party lash or bull-dozing, announce my
self for the Office of COUNTY SURVEYOR,
appealing from "Philip the drunk to Philip
the sober" or in other words from the selfish
Vaccinations of party tricks to the sound
judgment OF voters at the ballot-box.

The Belgian system for the towage Of

canal, between Buffalo and Rochester, and
work viii be pushed until ii is completed To
Albany. Great expectations have been
formed Of the results of the new system
which, it is thought, will reduce the expense
of towage about one-half, the time consumed
two-thirds, and enable the 5000 boats en-.
ployed ON the canal 10 do double the work
now performed A speed of three miles an
hour has been reached with experimental
tows, which is decided improvement over
horse power. Next week steam towing
will be regularly introduced between Bui.

The Court of Appeals in the State of New
York has made an interesting decision in re-
gard TO the distribution of the assets ofinsol-
vent life insurance companies. 1t declares
that when a company, by becoming insolv-
ent, makes it impossible for the insured to
pay further premiums, it breaks its engage
ments with the insured and leaves them in
the position of claimants for damages that
they are creditors for the present value of
their policies that all premium notes and
credits are offsets against such values; that
unmatured paid-up policies stand on different
footing from other unmatured policies; that
annuitants are entitled to receive the persent
value of their annuities, and that holders of
death claims matured before failure of the
company have no claim for preference "The
fact that one claim is matured gives it no pref
erence. There is nothing in the nature oflife
insurance that gives the preference One
who has paid his money to carry his policy
to maturity has no better right or greater
equity than another who has paid his money
TO carry policy toward maturity"

I
The Republicans of this State are very free
TO give ntterance to many ways, only con
ceived, of manipulation in the power of the
| Democracy to cheat them out of numbers OF
votes at the approaching election, without
any proof to substantiate their suspicion OF
the Democracy to do so. 1t is doubtful that
these very ways of manipulation set forth
by Republican orators ever occurred to
Democratic officials. While the Democra-
cy's record acquits it of any charge of the
character spoken of these charges show one
thing clearly, that is, that the minds of Re
publican leaders are prolific to conceive
these ways of manipulation which they
charge against others, and if their minds
will grasp such ideas of their own volition
and without viewing them in the actions of
others, we do believe that the human con-
stitution is so arranged that the conscience
will act in unison with the mind and, as in
this case, should the Republican party be
allowed to get into power il would not hest
tate to practice these same ways of manipu-
lation to dislranchise Democratic voters to
maintain power, as it did do when in power
once before
