Dependency in Washington.
The Republican Party Just Before Ii
Has TO do.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-No political event
has happened for many years which has made
so profound an impression on the otiicehold-
ers in Washington as the recent election in
Ohio: and yet many of them had passed
through the harsh experiences of 1874 and
1882, when Republican majorities were cast
out of the House of Representatives by an in
dignant and outraged people.
The ofiiceholders are party barometers.
Since the advent of Grantism, they have been
taught to regard politics as a business, supe
rior to public duty. All the States have
Republican Associations at the capital.
organized for political work. They send vot-
ers home at every important election, and
furnish speakers to represent the wishes of
the President and of the Cabinet individually.
Each association keeps a minute record of
the votes in every precinct OF its own State at
all the elections. national, State, county, or
municipal. Changes are carefully noted, with
the causes that may have brought them about.
This machinery is maintained at public ex-
pense for the benefit of the Administration.
When Ohio elected Democratic Secretary
of State and a majority of the Congressional
delegation last year, the otiiceholders were
greatly shocked But they became recon
cied to that defeat, and explained it by the
smallness of the aggregate vote and the de-
iuulJ Ol tI.bpu ttcpuDllctIisi WIZ sttig CN a.
home to punish the successor of Garfield.
They looked forward with confidence to
the contest this year, in the full belief that
the State would resume its place in the Re
publican line, But with the largest vote ever
cast at a local election, and with the issues
made for effect by their leaders, the Republi-
cans are defeated by crushing majority.
The Democrats have thus carried Ohio in
two successive elections Immediately proceed
ing the Presidential contest, for the first
time since the organization of the Republican
party. All the attempts to explain away the
causes of this great reaction, and all the
promises of the rejected leaders for better
work in 1884, have failed to console the Office
holders. They take no comfort in future ex-
pectatons. They have lost faith in the ability
of the party to rally successfully in the face
of such reverses.

''The state of Maryland outside of Balti-
more city is Republican, and any man who
denies this is a liar," said R. Stockett Mat
thews, the man whose character was so bad
the United States Senate would not confirm
him for Judge, when nominated by the Fraud
ulent Hayes. The official returns, as given
in the Sun Almanac, shows that Tilden carried
the counties of Maryland in 1876 by 1915;
that Hamilton carried them by II ,269 in 1879;
that Hancock carried them in 1880 by 1857,
and Heating by 1,5l0 in 1881. These facts
would indicate that Mr.. Matthews is liar, to
use his style of expression. Mr.. Matthews
will find when the returns come in on the 18th
of November that the counties of Maryland
have again been carried by the Democrats

Democratic Hopes in Ohio.

A very prominent ex-Republican member
of Congress from Ohio now in Washington
speaks in most respondent terms of the re-
cent Republican defeat in that state. He
does not by any means concur in the hope
which has been expressed by some of the Re
publican leaders of Ohio that the state will be
recaptured next fall. The Democrats, he
says, Will now have possession of the entire
state government and of the large municipal
tiles of the state and critical analysis of the
vote shows that the people in all the populous
centres have fallen away from the Republican
party. He admits that with good candidate
for President the Democrats will have every
reason to expect to carry Ohio in 1884.

1t will be noticed that eighty-five thousand
dollars were voted for furniture during the term
of the Fraudulent President, and more than
half of this total in the years 1879 and 1880.
If this money was honestly applied to the
objects for which it was granted, the White
House must have been thoroughly equipped
in every respect when Gen. Garfield entered
it as President.
But it is an open secret that scarcely any of
the articles of ordinary household use were
found in the Executive Mansion on the 4th of
March, 1881. They had mysteriously disap
peared with the exodus of the Fraud What
became of them is as much mystery now as
it was when Gen. Garfield was obliged to

were upholstered. Ninety-hve thousand dol

What is Expected of Us.

The election in Maryland is not purely
local one in interest The Democracy of the
whole country are interested in having the
United States Senate under Democratic con-
troll, and they are looking to the Maryland
Legislature to elect Democratic Senator in
1884. IF the control of the United States
Senate depended upon Senator from another
state, and the Democrats there should fail to
elect Democratic legislature by Indifference
or by voting for Republicans on personal
grounds, we in Maryland would complain bit
terly, as would the Democracy of the other
states. Well. Democrats, the Democracy of
the whole country is looking to the Maryland
Legislature to elect Democratic United
States Senator next winter. Are you going
to disappoint your brethren in other states?
VIII you vote for Republicans on personal
grounds, or for personal dislikes vote against
Democratic candidates? We ask you to re-
member your own interests, the interests of
your party elsewhere, and to vote for your
party. Vote the whole ticket as nominated
Vote for principles-not men.

One Vote.

One vote is very important, and let no
Democrat stay away from the polls under the
idea that one vote will not help much. Neither
must any Democrat vote for any Republican
candidate, for neighborly or personal reasons:
under the idea that one vote won't affect the
result One electoral vote, obtained by fraud,
seated Hayes in the Presidency; one vote may
decide the majority in the United States Sen
ate; one vote may decide the majority in the
Maryland Senate. A Judge of the Orphans
Court was elected by t,co votes in 1879, and a
County Commissioner was elected by ten votes

DoYAL, RICH, RED BLOOD.

In this country we are all kings, and we are
all entitled to have as good blood as that which
courses through the veins of emperors.
There are princes and millionaires anguish
ing in feebleness and broken-down bodily
health who would be glad to have the strength
of the humblest laboring man.
And there are many people who are neither
kings, emperors, nor millionaires, whose
blood is thin, whose circulation is poor, who
are suffering from lassitude and debility, and
who know not the pleasure of a hearty meal,
nor the enjoyment of being able to do a good
days work.
If such people will put some iron into
their blood, they will vitalize and enrich it.
They can do this by the use of Browns Iron
Bitters, the purest and most excellent iron
medicine ever made. Thousands who were
weak, languid, pale, and Frustrated, are now
happy to say Browns Iron Bitters brought
them up and gave them new life.
