The MARYLAND Greenback organization is
in sicklv condition. At State Conven-
ton in Baltimore Wednesday only nine out
of twenty-threc counties were represented.
Howard Weeks received the nomination for
Governor.
Somerset county has done nobly. making
n net gain on Governor vote of 1908, more
than 80 per cent on the vote of last year.
If Republicans follow up the advantage
thus gained they can easily wipe out the re-
naming 300 next year and put the county
where it belongs in the republican column.

that he was put in nomination by the Green

has got votes enough behind him to elect him,
and tell the journal that there is another one
in Clinton that is on the same platform-that

that the woods are full of Republicans, Dem

IrnpOtent Wrath.

The modification and rage of the de-
taated opposition are extreme. They snarl
and snap like mad dogs. The Argus and
Standard mourn and refuse to be COM

is not much of victory for the republi-
cans, while in another they below Ike
enraged "steers'' about the clergy, the
rum shops and the use of money.
The root of the matter is. that the truck
and-dicker managers are wofuily disap-
pointed, terribly mistaken in their calcu-
lations. They had fondly imagined that
they had long lease of power in the State
When they met at Portland and nomlna-
ted Joseph L. Smith, they said to them

"mocracy thoroughly in the State. we
"have only to continue and carry out the
"duplex arrangement in every county to
"sweep the Slate this year by much
larger majority than Smith and Garcelon
"had last year"
Now, when the truck-and-dicker mana
gers woke up after the election to the re-
alization that they were beaten, they were
astounded. They were the most disap-
pointed set of fellows that ever went into
an election and got whipped. Their bright
dreams OF long lease of power vanished
when the returns began to come in. and
left them not only amazed but confounded
and mad as bedlamites at their defeat
Hence comes this snarling and biting and
kicking that is witnessed in some of the
organs. accompanied with charges against
the clergy, and violent obiurgations about
the use of rum and money by republicans
to carry the election Their rage is easily
accounted for. 1t is not pleasant to come
down from an anticipated majority OF
$1,000 or 20. 900 to a stunning defeat. That
is enough to make anybody feel decidedly
cross. if not mad. The rest is easily I'M
derstood. They must have some pretext
for their defeat and so they pitch into the

The worst part of the whole business
for the truck -and-dicker leaders is, that
this is a defeat from which they cannot re-
cover. Next year they will be routed.

We have fought good fight for principles
of inestimable value to the country, and
this will be seen more clearly as the re-
vival of business and prosperity goes on
under the sound financial system now es-
tablished.
The shafts that are hurled from the dem
ocratic press at Mr.. Blaine are better testi-
monials to his prowess in this fight than
even the well-earned eulogies OF the re-
publican press, and serve to bring him
into higher prominence as the hero of the
great campaign now so happily terminated
by a complete republican victory.
