Gov. Hamilton,s Part.

The result in Maryland is not sur
prise to any as much as to the Hamilton
%. L. D. faction, not one of whom was
elected to the Legislature or to any county
Office, though they had legislative tickets
in Baltimore city and full tickets in How
ard and Anne Arundel counties,
When Governor Hamilton undertook
to arraign the Democratic party for alleged
Encouragement and official abuses, many
gave heed to his utteranees, believing him
to be informed on the matters complained
of. The old political hacks whom the
party had retired to private life, believing
that others were better deserving recogui-
ton, soon rallied around the Governors
standard and formed charming group.
The Governors alleged abuses were salts
factorily explained to those who were
susceptible to reason, aud many who had
strayed from the Democratic fold re-
turned. Ramon, Henkle, Heuisler, the
Merricks, and a few others, with their
small following, continued the war upon
the party and fought it to the end. Their
conduct has put them entirely without the
organization, and they should hereafter be
regarded not of us, but against us.
Those, however, who believed Governor
Hamilton was acting from honest motives
to purify the party within the organization,
may now question It, as he has done or
said nothing to eor-eet the wrong impress
sions be created in .he minds of the peo-
pie, nor did he raise his voice during the
campaign for the election of the State
ticket. The returusf from his county would
seem 20 indicate that he worked Or the
other side, as Mr.. Gorsuch's majority there
IS largely in excess Of what it should have
been. Not only did the State ticket suf-
fer in Washington county, but the local
candidates we're badly beaten also, aud but
Que Democra. in the whole county was
elected-Dr. Miller, as a member of the
House of Delegates.
It is debatablo question whether it
was blessing or a curse to the Democratic
party when it took up Mr. Hamilton and
made him Governor He has given the
party considerable trouble on the one hand
and on the other he has so buried himself,
politically, that he is forever beyond future
recognition. Perhaps bis election as Gov
ernor was blessing He had been as
piring to the Office for years, but his con-
duet since his induction to il has been 50
unacceptable he viii never be thought Of

Republican Ethics.

After the expose Of the Buffalo Tickets,
in our last issue, the Republicans deliber-
ately SET to work to counterfeit the Demo-
cratic ticket, as nearly as they could, for
the purpose Of dcceiviug the unwary Demo
cratic voter. This was done on the prin-
ciple, we suppose, announced BY Hon. John
Sherman, in the U. S. Senate, April 7th,
1881, (vide Congressional Record, vol II,
No. %, p. IO,) that anything that win
beat down that party (the DemOeratic)
aud build up our own (the Republican, is
justi6able in morals and 10 law"-that is,
anything, however immoral aud criminal,
that will beat down the Democratic party,
Is justi6able. Such we're the ethics Of the
Republican managers in the campaign just
closed. But this piece Of trickery did not
avail them.

OTHER ELECTIONS.

Elections took place in Massachusetts,
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Vir-
ginia, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Nlississip-
pi, Minnesota, and several other States on
Tuesday, but full returns are not all in.
Virginia is covered with disgrace by going
for the Malone Republican coalition. New
York is Democratic, portion of the State
ticket being elected, the other part in
doubt; the Legislature is Democratic in
both branches, and the Democrats gain
two Congressman. Pennsylvania is Re-
publican, though the regular Republican
candidate for Treasurer was successful by
slim majority. Wisconsin is in doubt,
both parties claiming it. In New Jersey
aud Connecticut the Democrats made great
gains. Mississippi is Democratic. Min
nesota and Massachusetts are Republi-
can as usual.

whom We shall designate as sub-ediior No
l, who wrote a two-columu article on as
sessmenls for last Saturdays issue Of that
paper, and affixed his own sign manual to
it, would have done his party quite as
much service if he had procured an old
gOurd, put handful Of dry beans into it !,
and ratified them through our streets and
over the highways and byways of this
county. Let him carefully preserve that
article and lay It away in lavender, il will
keep for two years, and in 1888 he can
rattle his dry beans again.

public, although he has 6red amongst Tie

Of County Commissioners by increasing

have been renominated ard reelected if
he had consented to serve.
