brings no dishonor to the vanouish.

in the organization of the conven-

deceived is nothing to their discredit.

The Baltimore Gazette says General
Grant will get fourteen out of the
sixteen Maryland votes at Chicago!
The Baltimore Sun figures out
Maryland's vote as follows: For
Grant-Messrs. Creswell, Weaver.
West, Brown, Miller and Tome-6.
For Sherman-Messrs. Gary, Harris,
Hooper, Lowndes, Crane and Buhr-
MANI. For Blaine-Messrs. West
colt, Mallalieu. Johnson and Bsltxs4.
The Washington National Rfpa6-
Hcdn claims that nine of the Mary
land delegation are for Grant.
The Republican delegates to repre-
sent Allegany county in the State
convention were elected on a false
issue, and the result is what might
have been expected. AS Blaine men
they voted for Grant delegates to
Chicago. Ctnab. Leader.
The Washington Stor of Saturday
says: Secretary Sherman's friends
say that there was treachery In the
Maryland Republican convention.
The secretary himself does not hest
tate to say that treachsry was the
cause of events shaping themselves
as they did,"
And also: "The action of the
Republican convention of Maryland
presents tougher problem than the
fifteen puzzle. The convention pass
ed a resolution instructlng for Blaine
by a vote of 80 to IA, and yet the
Grant men claim the delegation to
Chicago! The Heather Chinee
seems to have been on hand at Fred
erick.
"While the Blaine men got the
honors at Frederick, the Grant men
got the delegates. ~ Cum. Times.
"The damage to the Blaine move
ment at Frederick was accomplished
through the extraordinary actions of
Mr.. Stockbridge, Chairman of the
State Central Committee, in placing
the c0ntesting delegations from the
Second district of Baltimore city and
county on the roll. This
gave the control of the convention to-
the opponents of the personal friends
of Mr., Blaine, and they were enabled
through the ruling of Chairman
NALL to hold their advantage."-
Cumberland Ne,0s.
"There was a jolly sort of a Blaine
in Maryland. It's record
shows that it declared in favor of
Blaine by vote of SO to IA then it
voted down an anti-third, term reSo-
luton, and finally it capped the eli.
max by electing a majority of the
delegates in favor of Grant. With
such pronounced Grant men as ex
General Creswell and the
wealthy banker and relative of Cres-
well, Jacob Tome, to emphasize the
vote of the State at Chicago, it is a
very natural and pertinent inquiry:
Where were the Blaine men when
the Blaine light went out? When
the resultin Maryland is boiled down
to hard facts and figures it would
seem that Blaine got the taffy and
Grant got tn, votes. "-PhiIa. Times.
1.-THE reports from the convention
that have come to us up to the time
of going to press are not calculated to
make any honest Republican proud
of his party. The disgraceful con
tests of the last ten years were re
newed with unusual violence, dele.
gates without the shadow of claim
were adm tilted by the Chairman of
the State Central Committee as quail
flied and entitled to seats, and those
regularly elected unceremoniously
turned down. Ii the results of a
Democratic triumph were confined
to the State of Maryland, every de.
vout Republican ought to pray fer.
vently for such event. that the I'M
scrupulous so.ealled leaders of that
party might be retired to private
life, where few, if any of them, could
sustain themselves. The fight was
narrowed down to one of the outs
and inns, and was full of that bitter
hatred engendered by disappoint.
ment and that determination to hold
all they have and all they can get"
