have sometimes been fortunate. We
have sometimes, l fear. had candi-

officials. All honor 10 them; we are
proud of them. Let us say to our
people if you will nominate good
men we will vote for them, and upon
our own party platforms, but if you
do not, we throw the responsibility
upon vou. We will not vote for un-

The distribution of government

The distribution of government
patronage under the new administra-
ton is already exciting Maryland
politicians. Messrs. James A. Gary
and j. Morrison Harris were of late
frequent visitors at Washington. The
impression among well-informed
Republicans is that the President will
make no changes in the Maryland Of
fees until the expiration of their COM
missions. The commissions of the
principal officers do not expire for
some months to come. This belief
prevails not only among the friends.
but also among the opponents of the
present incumbents of the govern
ment Offices in Maryland. General
Garfield's declaration regarding civil
service reform has strengthened this
opinion in those who entertained it
before his inauguration.
