POLITICAL AFFAIRS IN MARYLAND,
Ex-senator Creswell on the Judicial Contest-Hi
Relations with M. German and with The
Sun.

WAsHINGToN, Oct. 2J.-EX- Senator
Creswell returned to Washington from
Cecil county last night, and your CORES
pendent inquired as to tho judicial con-
test in the second jadicial district of
Maryland. He said he had heard that
some of the friends of Nj Cruil: l:slank
intended to ' ote for Russum, the Repub-
licsn candidate, and in that way defeat
Judge Stump, but he had no personal
Knowledge on the subject. Your cores
pendent then inquired as TO the statement
which have been printed in Baltimore
that he had made an alliance. offensive
and defensive with Senator Gormau. He
replied that the statement was 50 ridicu-
lous aud absurd that he could not sup
pose it would be believed by any sensi-
BILE man. He had not seen Nir. German
since the adjournment of Congress- nor
had he communicated with him by word.
letter, sign. symbol or cipher His rela-
tions with MIR. German had been friendly
but never intimate, and he had never dis
cuSsed, much less conferred with Mr..
German on Maryland politics. lie said
he was who'll; uninformed as to Mr.. Cor.
man view upon the Judiciary question
now agitating the minds Of the people of
Baltimore, and really did not know what
side Mr.. German favored; but while he
had SO little to do with Mr.. German pol
itically, he sincerely hoped he was in the
enjoyment of the best of health and as
ardently approved of the movement for
an independent non-partiSan judiciary as
he did. He added that he had nothing
hate !,
the movement; that he was not Il resident
Of Baltimore, and considered that the
people of that city should be free to reg
ulate their local matters III their own way
without outside interference. Ii voter
in the city of Baltimore he would most
certainly support the independent ticket
with his utmost ability and influence. lie
only knew two or three gentlemen who
were members of the Republican Judicial
ry convention, and he had never spoken
one word on the subject to either of them.
Your correspondent inquired as to the
allegation that The San was the organ of
himself and Mr.. German. Mr.. Creswell
said that lie was as absurd as the other;
he had never spoken to one Of the pro
prietors or editors of Tie Sun in his life
with view to influence the course of
the paper on any public or political queS-
ton, and that SO far from ThG SIN bein"
his organ, he was really disciple of Tie
Sun on this question; that as a subscrib-
er to Tie Sun, and a regular reader of it,
he had learned from its columns the ex-
act condition of affairs in Baltimore and
he heartily sustained Tie SIN III its
course. lie concluded with the remark
that the Republican organ of the Demo
cratic ring, which charged him with COM
bining with Mr.. German, was conducted
with such an utter disregard of truth
that he and others were compelled to look
to Tie Sun for facts; that the columns

ENOUGH OF SUCH TRAGEDIES.

The killing of Col. Slayback at St.
Louis was very sad, but the tragedy en-
acted at Knoxville last week was, II pos
sible, still more terrible. Majo O'Con-
nor fired a fatal shot at Gen. Mabry from
the door of the Mechanics Bank, and al
most simultaneously with his reception
of fatal shot from Gen. Mabrys son, he
fired fatal shot at the latter, the three
men being killed in less than three min
utes. The prominence of the victims of
this terrible tragedy makes it one OF the
most notable events of the kind which
ever happened in Tennessee. The excite
ment in Knoxville is intense, and the
impressed with the need of prohibiting
the use of deadly weapons in the settle
ment of personal feuds.
1t is believed that much progress has
been made in the destruction of the pow
er of the " code " in the South, but it is
evident that much remains to be done to
Cicdbc Il liSht ptoliG SeibIiichI 'Slii!St
the use of the pisto! in the vindication Of
personal honor. The st. Louis and
Knoxville tragedies should make the peo-
pie of the whole nation revolt against
the practice. Intelligent people should
make known their dissent from the thco-
ry that to face pistol III resentment for
the application of vile epithct is an in
dication Of manliness. Vulgar and aDu-
sive speech Injuries the man who utters
it more than him to whom it is applied,
and may safely be permitted to go at its
own worth. Enough of such tragedies
as those of St. Louis and Knoxville.
They heal TO wounds of honor, but indi-
cate a vulgar and barbarous condition Of
society, and are a disgrace to our civii-
Zation.

Democratic Preten:lons and Republican
Achievements

The State Central Committee of Mass
achusetts, in its address concerning the
issues involved i'll the State cam ;jaign,
puts forth in strong contrast the achieve
ments OF the Republican party as contrast
ed with the pretcnsions of its antagonist
Ii is as much in place, and as good read
ing in Maryland as in massachusetts,
i'retensiUEs may deceive the unwary b.
their external glitter, but achievements
are something solid that can be examined,
tested and thoroughly investigated:
Opposed to the Republican party and
its candidates is the Democratic party and
its candidates. The Democratic party
this year in its convention. took the peo-
pie up into an exceeding high mountain
and showed them all the Kingdoms ofre-
form and the glory of them, and it PROM
iseS TO give all these things to the people
of Massachusetts if they fall down and
worship at their shrine. But the Demo
cratic party never had any right to the
Iroprietorship in true reforms: nor have
reforms ever got a place III their reyarn
except when they were ont of Office.
Every real advance and publication
achieved during the past twenty live
years. either in the aims or the methods
of politics, whether in STATE or in ma
tiOna! affairs, has been by and through
the Republican party. II any thing in al
dition to the historical record were needed

tension to be Il reform party. it is !ur-

JUDGE GEORGE F. EDMuNDs, in re-
sponse to an invitation to take part in
the New Hampshire campaign, has writ
ten letter show ing why the law-making
power should not be taken out of the
hands of the Republican party. He says:
"To those who know the real history
of parties, as shown in the proceedings
of Congress, the Republican arty, fail
ing as I think it sometimes has in its
duty stands in regard to positive results
in the making and execution Of laws ben
efcial to all the States and to all the
people far in advance of any party since
the Revolution. 1t has earned the con-
fidence of the people, and it deserves it,
even in the face of the evil things that
some of its members have done, for, as
the world is now constituted, there will
be no party that will carry on the Gov
ernment with more of good or less Of

REPUBLICAN NOMINATION

BUSINESS men of both parties will pay
attention to the storm signal" that is
hoisted by so careful and conservative
and truthful man as the Secretary of
the Treasury, when he says:
1t is estimated from well-founded data
that ON Wednesday, the 11th of October,
the day following the Ohio election there
was a shrinkage of values in the great
properties of the country of over $40, 00o,-
900. That shriukage has been going on
since. Do the business interests of the
country look with dread to a return of
the Democratic party to control of
Federal legislation? Is it Il well-fouuded
dread.
