Two Statements-0ne from the Records,

Expectations were not fulfilled, pied ges
were not redeemed, into the causes for which
l have not the time and do not propose now
to inquire. Excessive officeholding was TO
be abated; salaries to conform to those paid
in similar employments in private pursuits.
Abuses were to be corrected, the strictest
economy with the strictest accountability was
to pervade every branch of the government;
the gradual payment of the public debt was
to be enforced and there was to be an etfec-
tive registration law to secure the fairness OF
elections Very lttle-nothing comparative
Twas done; indeed, if anything some ofthe
abuses were aggravated.
The above is an extract from the speech
of Gov. Hamilton, at the Maryland lnsti-
tute Meeting, in Baltimore last week, at
lacking the Democratic party in general
and the last Legislature in particular. 1t
scarcely can be possible that the executive
of the State would SO pervert truth for
personal ends, yet such seems to be the
fact. The acts of 1880 show that the last
Legislature made provision for refundinS
the State debt at lower rate of interest,
saving thereby, after 1888, nearly $780,
600 annually; that it repealed the bounty
law, saving $4,000; that it cut off appro-
priations to agricultural societies, saving
$4,000 annually;that it abolished the office
of superintendent of the House of Correc-
ton telegraph line, saving 81 500 annual
": that it reduced the salaries Of the
weigher Of live stock, acknowledgement,
inspector of mines, officers and crew of
the oyster police force, and those Of other
officers. As to a new registration bill, no
change is desired by the State outside Of
Baltimore, and it is probable that few IN
Baltimore would desire such an one as the
Governor favored during the session Of
1880. The law, as it stands at present, is
very good, and the proper administration
oft rests entirely with Governor Hamilton,
for he has the appointment of the regis
trars. The passage of a new registration
law would have entailed heavy expense
upon the State, aud would have been Of
no benefit

A Few Plain Facts for the Democrats,

Baltimore Gazette. The Hagerstown Nail
the accredited organ of Governor Hamilton,
in its issue of May 10th, 1881, in speaking of
bounties to soldiers under the bill creating the
defense loan in 1864 and subsequent acts, gives
full and entire statement taken from the
comptroler's reports from September 30th,
1864, to September 30th, 1880, inclusive
showing the entire amount paid for bounties
in the different years, making the total sum
of st, O5s, 368. lg II the object of the Nail
was to point sut the cerrpptions and eXtrav2-
gance of the Democratic party and to arraigp
It before the public, in order to show thereby
the necessity Of change Of leadersa aud reform,
the writer proposes to show In a few words
how far the Democratic party is responsible.
i will be remembered by those whose memo
ries are not tFeacheroas that the Democratic
party came into power in the State really in
1868, and that Of the S6,05S, 36s. Is paid for
bounties 81, 125, 43O.25 were paid prior to
September 30, 1867, and were paid by the
Republicans in four years and that the Dem
ocrats in the thirteen years following-frOm
1868 to 1890-paid but 81, 932, 1881.

Reform Within the Party.

We have received at this office lot OF
Governor Bamilton's pamphlets giving an
expose of the deings of the last Legislature,
and showing Ring management generally.
They are for pratuitous circulation, and every
bedy can be supplied with copy by calling
at this Office or making their request known
in writing.
The above is from the Denton Onton,
one of the most bitter and active Radical
papers ia the State. Governor Hamilton
in his public speeches and letters talks
ONLY of reform seithin the party, yet we
find that his arrangements of she party are
sent to a Republican newspaper to be dis
tributed. Not one copy was sent, but "a
lot" and it must have been big slot,
for the Union says Everybody can be sup
piled with copy" Now the Governor,
or his friends, would not send documents
to a Republican Office to be distributed to
Democrats, and they must be meant for
circulation among Republicans. Is the
spreading of this arraignment of the Dem
ocratic party among Republicans the way
to bring about reform ,oitkin the party ?
Is it not, rather, calling the attention of
Republicans to the falsely-alleged short
comings of the Democratic party aud sup
plying them with arguments for It's deteatF
Most assuredly; and this fact proves that
Gov. Hamilton is bent upon overthrowIng
the present management of the party and
is seeking the aid of Republicans to ae-
eomplish his purpose. With all his boast
ed devotion to the party and its principles,
we believe that be would rather see Re
publican rule than Democratic success,
unless he be allowed to control the party.
Rather, perhaps, he would prefer TO sec
the formation of new party, with HIM
self as leader, and the election Of Legls-
lature subject to his control and dictation
The next Legislature will have to elect
United States Senator TO succeed Senator
Groome. aud it is said Mr Hamilton is
aspiring to return to the upper house of
Congress. To accomplish this he must
have Legislature subservient to his viii,
50 that the law apportionins the Senators,
one to the Eastern and one to the West
ern Shore, can be repealed. Otherwise,
Mr.. Groome's successor must be taken
from the Eastern Shore.

The Derby Won BY an American Horse,

Never was so much interest manifested
throughout the world, perhaps, as in the Der
BY stakes, at EPSON, England, which were
contested for on Wednesday, over 100, 0G0
people being present.
Pierre I.orillardS horse, lroquois, ridden
by Archer, won the race, there being fifteen
horses in the field. The betting was to ,
against the American horse. Heretofore the
Derby has been considered national stake,
never having been won by any other than
European horses
The jockey Archer, who rode Iroquois, re-
ceived tremendous ovation on returning to
weigh in. Iroquoi5 won cieyerly by half
length, with two lengths between Peregrine
and Town Moor.
The time OF the race was tive minutes and
fifty seconds. 1t was stated on the race course
that the Jockey Archer said he could easily
have won the race by three lengths if it had
been required.
Mr. Lorilard won in one bet s., 100000 on
the race.
News Of the victory was received in New
York amidst the widest enthusiasm, and Mr..
Lorillard's place OF business was DECORATED in
honor Of the event.

The Democratic platform Of 1879 called
for the enforcement Of tie constitutional
requirement that everybody should con
tribute to the support Of the government
according to his actual worth in real aud
personal property. Whilst calling aiieu-
ton to every other promise Of that plat
form, and ignoring facts in endeavoring to
create the belief that they were not partly
fulfilled, at least, Gov. Hamilton neither
in his letter to the Legislature, his letter
to distinguished ofiec-seekcrs and others,
published in April, nor in his speech IN
Baltimore. touched upon this promise.
The last Legislature had under eonsidsra
tiOo Till to carry out this pledge, but It
received no support from him. Being re-
puted TO be worth half a million or more,
he pays taxes, it is said, upon only seven
ty.two thousand Does be call that full
filing the pledge of 1879? He is aEare
that it is not, but Governor Hamilton
wants no reform, no changes, that effect
his interests.
