method better adapted than the plan then in
use TO secure the choice of competent persons
to fulfill duties of such importance; fourth, by
the extension, under careful limitations, OF
the powers ofthe police Justices in the city of
Baltimore.
These measures were subjected to close
scrutiny. not only by the Senate and House OF
Delegates, but also by the press and by the
people 1t was found that they had been
/ framed with the single purpose of effecting the
reforms to which the democratic party of the
State was pledged, and were sufficient to ac-
compliSh the designed objects if they were
faithfully executed by the executive and by
those whom he appointed, and by all Others
charged with performing the duties imposed
by the particular laws.
They were therefore accepted with little
modification and with great unanimitv. The
General Assembly of 1882 gave further effect
to the pledges of the State convention of 1881.
IL firmly maintained the taxing system of the
State. 1t practiced n strict economy in legis-
lative expenses. Ii made sufficient provision
for the future maintenance otthe public credit.
This brief review of particular laws enacted
bv the General Assembly of 1882 Is sufficient
to demonstrate that it fully redeemed the
pledges made by the democratic State conven-
tion of 1881, and has removed or remeded
every complaint heretofore made against the
administration of the public affairs of this
State by the party 10 which we belong.
The only causes for dissension and discon-
tent which now exist among us arise from
complaints that the primary meetings in our
party held for the purpose of making nomina-
lions are not fairly conducted. 1t may be
that legislation will fail to provide adequate
remedy for this evil if it should hereafter oc-
cur. You committee however, Is not without
power To correct such mischief. 1t may re
fuse. and will refuse. to recognize any nomi-
nation which is fraudulently made, aud will
in any such case order that new primary cleo
lions shall be held in the locality in which the
wrong occurred. The obligation of seeing
that the registration law. which Is the most
important of an these measures. Is faithfully
executed rests upon the Governor.
Unless the duties imposed by the law are
executed by honest and capable officers it
must prove inefficient. L; must be remem-
bered. moreover thas even il the duties i'm
posed bv the new registration Law are proper
iv executed bv the officers Of registration. the
law will fail to accomplish the objects which
II was intended 60 achieve unless 1t Is hereat
ter supplemented by the choice OF proper
Judges OF election for an the election districts
aud election precincts IN this State.
The Governor has po responsibility for the
choice made of such officers IN the counties of
