OUR NEXT CoNPTRoLLrR.

The Republican party Of Maryland, at its nemi.
mating eonveuton, gave 70 the people Of the State
an earnest Of It's determination 10 wage vigorously
the move OF Reform In our State government By
tho nomination of Thomas Gorsush, Esq.. Of this
county, for Comptroller OF the Treasury. In this
action they not only have paid high compliment
to Western Maryland. and especially 20 Frederick
county, bat they displayed sneh wise discretion
as seldom charaeteriIes political conventions.
Perhaps there could not be found within the Dor.
dcrs OF the entire State, man more fully compe.
tent TO discharge ably aad suecsssfuliy the im.
portsnt and responsible duties incumbent upon
the State Comptroller.
Mr.. Gorsuch's large experience In the manage.
meat Of financial and business affairs, together
with bis high and irrsproachabie character for
honesty, integrity and answering devotion 20
duty, entite him. beyond all question, 20 the con-
voters OF the State, irrespective Of party afhla.

guarantee that when the people shall, at the polls
in November, ratify the action Of this convention
they will have placed the most important trust In.
TO the hands OF . man who will steFnly wage way

the doors of the treasury against the vllainiss Of
the corruptionists and the plunderers.
With Nj. Gorsaeh as Comptroller the Infamous

will cease to be burning disgrace 10 the politics
Of Maryland; there will be no more unlawful
misappropriations Of the public school funds Of
the statei there win be no further mysterious dis
appearance Of the sinking fund, By which he
State debt should have been, ere this. wiped out
Of existence. and the Board Of Public Works win
no longer defy the win Of the people and bs run
In the interest Of Ring politicians. With these
considerations presented 10 the people Of ths
State, and with their certain knowledite that the
re-eisetion OF Mr.. keating means the continuance
and aggravation Of all these evils, we have mo
hesitation In declaring our belief that Frederick
county win have the next Comptroller.
The Democratic Ring managers need not de-
eeive themselves Into the belief that the vetsrs
and taxpayers and iaboring classes, whom they
have 90 long oppressed with the burden Of tara
lion, always promising them reform In she future.
will longer listen TO their false promises. The
