Mt Hendricks positively declines the
second place on the ticket again, so it is
said This spoils the programme Of che
out-and-ont Tilden and Hendricks men.
If one Is laid aside, although at his own
instance, the other will be apt to be also.
In that eyent what is to be done? For
tunately there is no lack Of good and avail
able mea in the Democratic ranks. Gen.
Winfield Scott Hancock, Of Pennsylvania,
is the great favorite in the South and the
South is solidly Democratic, but prefers a
northern mananda Union soldier, inasmuch
as Grant is likely to DO the Republican
candidate. Hancock endeared himself, to
the southern people especially, and to the
whole country, by proclaiming, at New
Orleans, that the military is subordinate
to the civil power This high constitu-
tional ground, taken by a great military
commander, during the war, when the
military too frequently dominated the civil
power, at once made Gen. Hancock the
favorite Of the whole people. As sol
der he has been pronounced better one
than Grant, and if the Republicans are
determined to revive the issues of the war,
Hancock is the man to beat Grant with.
Then, there is Judge Stephen Field, Of
California, and Hon. Samuel J. Randall,
Of Pennsylvania, very strong team for
the next Presidency. But the "dark
horse, is believed by some, after taking
survey of the whole field, to be Elk, Gov.
Joel Parker, Of New jersey. However
that may be, it is certain there is an album
dance Of good Presidential timber in the
Democratic party, as any one will see who
viii take the trouble to tell over such honor
ed names as Tildeu, Thurman, Bayard, H en-
bricks, Hancock, Parker, Fields, Randall,
and hosts Of others, not so conspicuous,
perhaps, but equal in merit to the gentle
men above named.

For the Democratic Adcocaie
Hon. Charles B. Roberts.


Repeatedly Of late the statement has
been made that Mr.. Roberts had consented
to allow his name to be used as compro-
mise candidate for Governor in opposition
to the candidacy Of Mr. Hamilton, aud in
furtherance Of the wishes and interests of
Senator Whyte. So long as the mere
statement continued to be made, il was Of
but small consequence, as Mr.. Hamilton
aud his friends know that in no wise is
Dir. Roberts seeking the nomination But
now that unkind criticism is being iudulg-
ed in quite literally, assigning Mr. Roberts
position which he does not occupy, and
rendering him advice, which to say the
least Of it, is gratuitous, it becomes proper
for US to say that Mr. Roberts friendly rela-
tons with Mr.. Hamilton, personal and
political, do not date from the time when
the politicians ofthe State reached the con
clusion that Mr. Hamilton was the peoples
choice for Governor, aud should be nomi.
mated. Four years ago Mr.. Hamilton did
not have in the State more earnest and
devoted friend than Mr.. Roberts. and il
does seem a little strange, aud yet quite
natural, that some persons should reach the
conclusion that Mr.. Roberts advocacy of
Mr.. Hamiltons candidacy should cease
when theirs began. However that may be
Mr.. Roberts still has an abiding faith in
the intelligence and integrity Of Mr.. Ham
ilton, notwithstanding bis recently acquired
support. IL has also been stated that the
banquet given to Mr.. Roberts by the
merchants of Baltimore had for its object
the promotion of his political interests, and
was gotten up at the instance of Senator
Whyte. II is scarcely necessary to say
more in reiutation of this absurd story than
to make known the fact that more than
year ago like compliment was rendered
Mr.. Roberts which he declined, and said
that so long as he continued 10 official life
he could not, and would not accept it.
Coming, however, as the last invitation did,
after the expiration Of his term of Office,
he did not feel that he c9uld any longer
decline the honor sought to be conferred,
which was purely personal, aud nonparti-
san in its character, Republican and Dem
oerat alike joining TO make the occasion
most agreeable ard successful event.
Mr.. Roberts does not belong to the class
known and appreciated as professional
politicians, and will never be found seek
ing to foist himself upon the party against
the wishes of the people. He can well
afford to let his record stand as he has
made it; it will bear its own good fruit in
proper season. YINDEx.

TO the Hon The Mayor aud Common Coun.
eli Of Westminster;
The petition Of the undersigned, citizens
and taxpayers of our city, and also Directors
Of The Westminster Gas Light Company,
respectfully showeth-that the streets Of our
city have been lighted with gas for nearly nine
years, at an average cost Of $500 per aunum,
counting the idpses, and ut an average cost per
lamp, in all that time, Of Sill per year,
which is, perhaps, lower than in any other
place in the country; that on Tuesday, 18th Of
the streets was instructed by your honorable
body TO discontinue said lighting; and that
since that time our streets have been in dark.
ness, to the great discomfort and inconveni-
ence Of ourselves and our fellow citizens; that
the popularity of our Company has been dam.
aged thereby, as well as its revenues dimin-
ished, inasmuch as the failure to light the
street lamps has been attributed to the Gas
Company refusing to furnish the light; where.
as we have never so refused, even when the
amountdue us was four times as much as il is at
present In view of these facts, and also be-
cause we believe that our citizens generally
would much prefer Light, and seeing the
taxes are the same from year TO year, the city
is as well able to pay for it now as she has
been for the past nine years, your petitioners
respectfully request you to rescind the Reso.
luton Of eth of January, 1879. or to take such
action as will give US good light on the
streets from dusk gntil IL, p. M, on all dark
nights during the summer. and until l0l in
the winter; and we hereby pledge the Com
pany, which we represent, to furnish the said
light at a very moderate cost And, as in
duty bound. your petitioners will ever pray,
