the Ninth ward. Mr.. REILLY is cyl
IDENTIFY believer in the doctrine that
the members of the Legislature shall
dictate to the governor the men
whom he shall appoint for the va
rious offices in their respective dis
trict. The governor on the other
hand, is of the opinion that he must
use his own judgement in these selec-
tions, and appoint the best men he
can find, without regard to the rec
concentrations of the legislature.
Mr.. REILLY complained of discourte-
sy. "Discourtesy I" exclaimed Gov
ernor Hamilton, Don't talk to me
of courtesy. There is no courtesy
over there pointing to the State
House,. You people are running the
party to the nd,-ruining it. sir ;
running it," But" said Mr.. REILLY,
"those appointments will not be con-
firmed." II don't care whether they
are or not" rejoined Governor Ham
ilton. II don't care what they do
with them. They are in the hands
of the Senate, and the Senate may do
what it pIeases with them. They
are running the party. Ten traitor
Gus Democrats and four renegade
Republicans have Joined hands to de-
feat good Democrats. because they
don't suit their wishes. Isn't that
enough to disgust honest people?
Won't this eXasperate the citizens
who are in favor of honest govern
ment? The people will not stand it,"
Mr.. REILLY made an effort to talk
back" at the Governor about West
ern Maryland, but Mr.. Hamilton
made some pointed replies. The
interview then terminated, and Mr..
REILLY went his way in peace, though
his thoughts were full of war.
"Gov. Hamilton's yeracity and in.
tegrity will, 1 think, shine like two
stars against the black back ground
of political trickery and chicanery
which surround him at Annapolis,
and it will make him the next gov
ernor of Maryland. if he wants a re-
election" The gentleman who gave
expression to the sentiments was Mr..
James Hodges, prominent support
er of the Governors administration
and who has just returned from a
visit to Annapolis. Mr.. Hodges is
one of the GLORIOUS rejected" the
Senate having declined to confirm
his nomition as one of the directors
of the State Penitentiary.
Much bad feeling has been engen.
dered in regard to the action of the
senatorial syndicate. and there are
indications that it BODIES no good to
the party in power. 1t has strength
ed the Governors hands, who has
been inspired with new zeal to per-

for himself. He has decided TO call
no extra session of the Senate, and
after the adjournment of the legisla-
ture he will make his own appoint

vacant by the reflections of the Senate.
The men selected for registers of vo.

afraid to trifle with the people much

with vengence. Tine lobby -four

Assembly and revenge and partisan
bitterness controlled at least one
house of the legislature. 1t assem-

the Registration bill. it would have
made better record for itself, for it
would have saved the people of the
State much money. 1t has, however,
accomplished one good thing: The
old political syndicate has been bSok-
en- up. The old partnership trading
under the firm of German, Cotton &
Co., las been dissolved, and though
a new firm has been created under
the name of German & Co., with
some old members of the Board of
Public Works as silent partners, the
managerial cotere is left weaker than
before. Mr.. Cotton will probably re-
sumo business at the old stand, but
the managers are DIVIDED, and that
