The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1882-03-04

The Hagerstown Mail in referring
to the testimony being taken before
the committee on elections, says sit
is clearly proven that the persons
who have committed these frauds
have no respect for law, and that
courts and the law officers are not a
terror to evil-doers. This investiga-
ton clearly shows the necessity of
the legislature passing some law for
the protection of the ballOt-box and
for the selection of fair judges of cleo
ton in the counties. In most of the
counties we can safely say there are
good judges, honest elections and
fair counts ; but in several of the
counties, and especially Anne Arun.
del, there have been the grossest
frauds and outrages, which the DEM
ocratic party cannot long overlook.

THE REPUBLICAN, with this issue,
commences its 9th Volume, in a
healthy and prosperous condition.
We are pleased to say that il is look
ed upon as one of the best county pa
pers in the State. OF course we take
a pardonable degree of pride in this.
and we are not to be blamed for it.
We purchased it in 1877, gong in
debt for the entire Office. and have
built 1t up by hard and diligent labor,
until it pays us reasonable recom-
pense. For this condition OF things
we feel under obligations to our pa
irons, and especially to those who
are prompt in the settlement of their
obligations. We shall continue to
labor for the Republican party and in
the interests Of the people of the
county, and feel assured, from past
experience, that we shall receive a
reasonable share of the public patron
age.

Now and Then.

There has never been a better Illus
tration of the aphorism that "the
whirligig of time brings in his sweet
revenges" and makes all things even
than is presented in the condition of
affairs in the Democratic party in
this city and State. Men who but
a few months ago were dispised and
rejected by the bosses, find them
selves in the high places IN the DEM
ocratfc temple. About two years
ago Senator German, in calling to or
der the convention for the election of
delegates to the presidential conyen.
ton, reminded his Democratic hear
ers that the stragglers will not be
permitted to occupy the tables at the
future Democratic love feasts, and
that the irregulars will not be allow
ed to joIn in the paens at the hour of
victory. Mr.. German was Just then
fresh from the field of conquest at
Annapolis, and neither he nor any of
the chosen knew at the time what
evils time had in store for the so call
ed regulars.
The managers and their followers
cannot reconcile themselves to the
altered situation. They seem to be
"irreconcIlables," and stigmatise all
those who do not chime in their
peculiar views as not being Demo
Gratis. Thus Mayor Whyte's appoint
ments and Gov. Hamilton's nomina-
tions are looked upon as undemo-
cratic. Respectable men, who do not
wear around their neck the collar of
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1882-03-04

bOssism are read out of the party.
The managers cannot imagine how
in the world two such Democrats as
Whyte and Hamilton could bring
themselves to appoint to office indie
pendent men, who have either never
been mixed up in politics or who
dared to act in opposition to the man
ayers when occasion called for it. A
large number of the regulars have
raised the cry that the Governor and
the Mayor are bent upon destroying
the Democratic party, and that two
years hence the State will surely go
Republican If they continue in their
work. The "outs" are particularly
soiicitous about the future of the par
ty. They are sure that it is going to
the dogs, and that something heroic
must be done to save it. They don't
know where all this will end. and
are appealing to the faithful within
the camp to stem this tide of indie.
pendence in politics.
Although the Governors appoint
ments, as rule, give general salts
faction to the public, and though
many of them receive the heartiest
commentator of the people, the
managers ar even less pleased with
them than with Mayor Whyte's APP
pointments, They are angered at the
state executive for attempting to
place in office Independent Democrats
and one Republican, and their hench-
man are crying out aloud that the
Governor is trying to surrender
the State to the Republicans. In
their conferences they are connecting
schemes for the rejection by the Sen
ate of the Governors appointments,
and movement has been set on foot
for the introduction of a bill provid-
ing for the election by the legislature
of the supervisors of election. Moth
ing in the last two years has so dis
concerted the bosses as this last OF
Governor Hamilton's bombshells.-

A Genuine Democratic Platform.

In view of the negative character
of those which have been heretofore
furnished by the party, one might
have described them as simply deny
ing what the Republicans affirmed
They have been freed from all positive
elements whatever, save meaning,
less platitudes about the constitu-
tion. The Boston Herald, (Indepen-
dent), has the following on this SUBJ
ject:
"What one Democratic Senator
would like to see in 1884 is "a
straight Democratic platform" That
would be novelty, at least. By the
way, what would be a "genuine
Democratic platform Is there
anything left of the structure of 1880,
through which General Hancock
stuck his soldierly foot, that would
be available two years hence? Is a
"genuine Democratic platform" any
thing but Republican platform four
years old 2"

the voice of God. With simple res
ignation he bowed to the Divine de-
cree,
AS the end drew near, his early
craving for the sea returned. The
stately mansion of power had been
TO him the weariSome hospital of
pain, and he begged to be taken from
its prison walls. from its oppressive,
Sitting air, from its homelessness
and its hopelessness. Gently, silent
ly the love of a great people bore the
bale sufferer to the longed-for heal
ing of the sea, to- live or to die, as
God should will, within sight of its
heaving pillows, within sound of its
manifold voices. With wan, feyered
face tenderly lifted to the cooling
breeze, he looked out Tistfully upon
the oceans changing wonders; on its
fair sails, whitening in the morning
light on its restless waves, rolling
shoreward to break and die beneath
the monday sun ON the red clouds
of evening arching low TO the hOri-
zon f; on the serene and shining path
way of the stars. Let us think that
his dying eyes read mystic mean
ing which only the rapt and parting
soul may know. Let us believe that
in the silence of the receding world
he heard the great waves breaking
on a further shore, and felt already
upon his wasted brow the breath of
the eternal morning .-Ectrdct from
Btaine's Ettlogy on Garfield.

A recent occurrence in Youngstown,
Ohio, has given fearful warming to
the pestilent tribe of practical jOkers-
a young man named Henry Waters,
somewhat prone to superstition, and
of Il rather tiInorous Lature, had been
in the habit Of keeping n pistol ar

reach il upon the slightest warning.
For the purpose of enjoying nm ex.
hibition Of his terror, u party Of
young fools secretly drew the bullets
from the cartridges, leaving the pow
der undisturbed. and one. of them,
wrapped in a sr.ept, entered his room
at midnight, while the rest waited
near by. He awoke in great alarm,
and, after Il warning, fired at the fly
ure. The bullet was thrown back
against the featl-board of the bed.
This operation was repeated until The
cartridges had all been discharged.
and then The victim of a practical

truthfu!ly and feelingly unite our
voices in commentator of the la

thousands of a common people; and
the occasion which called for such
sentiment is painful in its rpcollec-
tions, and as fully deplored by the
people of the South as by those of
any other section of the country.
The unanimity with which these res
olutions were passed and the express
sions conveyed therein, speak more
than any words of mine; and you
can rest assured, madam. that in
them is voiced the tribute of all the
old soldiers of the South to the ster-

Mrs. Garfield by great effort re-
pressed her emotion, while the aged
mother of the late President wppt
freely. The ladies were both clad in
the deepest mourning. The late
Presidents widow, her voice trem-

address of Generel Withers as fol-

"Gentleman: l am very grateful

beautiful gift comes, for its sake and
for the sentiments expressed"
The two ladies then examined the

admiration of the frame to Mr..
KniDe, its maker, who said: "My

Gen. Withers added: "And.
moreover, we want to show these
