-EX-Senator Conkling in a club dinner
in New York, last Saturday, made speech
in which he declared that the Democrats
were about to take control of the country
Two years ago, he said, the Republican party
came out of stoutly fought battle victorious
from sea to sea, north of the Mason and
Dixon line. 1t fought the greatest political
battle ever fought. 1t was a battle heavily
weighted, but the Republicans rallied under
their old leaders and gloriously won. That
was but two years ago, and now the speaker
could think of but three of the Northern
States in which the Republicans were victor
ious. Mr.. Conkling eulogized Gen. Grant
and charged that the overthrow of Republi-
canism was owing to the fact that Grant was
not nominated for third term

Conference of Democratic Editors.

Twenty one Democratic editors, represent
ing fifteen counties of Maryland and the city
of Baltimore met at Barnum's Hotel, Balti
more, on Tuesday Col. Clement Sulvanc,
of the Cambridge ChroHicle was made chair
man, and Mr.. |. S. Wilson, of the Marlbor
ough Gazette, Secretary. Earnest and sug-
gestive speeches were made by w. ii. Ruby,
Frederick Rainc, Edwin Warlield, G. w i.
Crukshank, Joseph X. Roberts, DR., II. |. c..
Williams Charles III. Vandcrford, VIM. Il.
Croasdale, VIM r, Iglchart, Jos. A. Graham
and G. b. Ludwig, in the order named.
An address to the public was reported by
committee appointed for the purpose
The address SETS forth that they have
viewed with concern the discussions that
have been in progress for some months
among members of the party of more or less
prominence, and think that these discussions
and controversies have engendered bitterness
rather than conduced to harmony. The
Democratic party in the State is not divided
nor engaged in any internal contest, except
in Baltimore, and even there it is more among
aspiring leaders than among the voters of the
party that differences exist. All that appears
necessary to bring the rank and file into har-
mOnious action that will assure the success of
nominations when made is that the city con-
vention shall choose fair and honorable men
to select those who are to conduct the pri-
mary elections, and thus allow The voters I'M
restricted opportunity to make such nomna-
tiOns as they wish In behalf of the Democ-
racy of the whole State We urge that so rea-
sonable and just demand shall be gladly
and freely complied with.
The address reminds the people of the dan
ger of Republican rule. 1.-TWO congressional
districts have been wrested from us and par
tisan Republican judges have been elected
We see in two districts partisan juries drawn,
which is an evidence that the Republican
party would repeat the practices of 1862
if they were permitted TO gain control in the
State. If we look about the State we find the
highest tax rates in those counties where Re
publicans control the local offices. In Ale
gany county it is GOT cents on the 500, in
Prince Georges n, in Caroline 81 I, In Fred
ericl SG8, in Calvert 81 in Washington 80,
i'll Charles %, in st. Mary's 81, in Garrett
$l11. The highest tax rate in any Demo
cratic county is s94. In Carroll it is 80, in
Baltimore county 60, in Howard 50, in Cecil
81, and so on. The average for Republican
counties is 49, the average for the Demo
cratic counties is 70 10"
In conclusion, the address reminds Demo.
Gratis that the party is on the eve of IL presi
dental election, and ends with an appeal to
disagreeing leaders to cease their strife, and
for every county to send free and unlram.

THE CANMAKERs OF BALTIMORE have been
on strike There are in all thirty,
shops in the city and GOO canmakers in the

this season will be more than they can make.
At present the stock of tin cans on hand is
100000 less than this time last year The
wages paid have been from 30 to 35 cents n

ty, when it is obvious the mass Of the people are
determined to act directly on all questions, when
il is possible, without the intervention of dele
gates. There are some questions which may be
overlooked If transferred to delegates. One among
those is the cunning monopoly, which has gradu-
ally encroached on the rights OF our citizens until
it has assumed proportions beyond forhearance
Therefore the people intend to obtain the views
of those who aspire to the legislature in order to
vote understandingly. If the power to nominate
is TRANSFERRED to a convention they may be disap-
pointed when it is too late to rcctify the matter.
