DIR. STEINER'S DEFEAT.

The defeat of DR.. L. H. Steiner, for
twelve years past Republican State Sen
ator from Frederick county, is one OF
the regrets of the campaign which has
just closed. His county, for three con-
secutive terms has honored him with
this seat, and which he has by COM
mon consent so ably and so conscien-
tiously filled. He steps down and out,
not because the people of his county
are careless of or Indifferent to the man
who has so creditably represented them,
but simply because they had an over
weening confidence in his strength, and
did not deem an active campaign in
his behalf necessary. The Republicans
of Frederick have lost an able repre-
sentative in the Senate of Maryland,
simply because they failed to organize
an aggressive campaign, when they saw
on every hand too, the evidences of
unusual Democratic activity. Of what
metal his successor may be remains to
be seen. There is perhaps little pres
tige in a name, but certainly Noah
Bowlus doesn't promise much.
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1883-11-10
WHAT 1T MEANS.

OF the result in this State on Tuesday,
the Baltimore Herald truthfully, per-
haps, says:
"The Republican party have been de-
feated in this State by a decisive majority
and the result indicates a great deal
more than the relative strength of the
two contending parties. 1t is an mnmis-
taxable evidence that the people of Mary
land put party above principles and that
any man or set of men claiming to repre-
sent the Democrat party can secure the
votes of a majority of the people of
Maryland even though the canvass be
made on platform advocating the con-
struction of railway to the moon.
1t was fight to decide whether the
people or the politicians should dictate
the affairs of this State, and the politi-
clans have won. The result will be a
far greater loss to the taxpayers than to
Mr.. Holton and his fellow candidates.
However, having made their bed, the
people of Maryland must lie in it. If,
after a while, they find that the mattress
they bought for hair is corn-h usk, let
them pocket their disappointment They
came to market with open eyes, and if
they were gullible enough to be victim
lied by charlatans they ought to do some
penance. And they may be sure that

THREE cheers and a tiger for our
grand old sister State of Pennsylvania
on Tuesday. On this side of the line
we had dry Democratic shower. But
on the other side the boundary, there
fell an old style Republican rain. 1t
was refrehing to every body except
Democrats, because it is the forerunner
of another storm, which in 1884 will
break upon the devoted heads of the
Bourbon free-traders of that State.
The victory of Tuesday is potential in
its significance, because as the Phila-
delphia PRESS says: at means an en-
phatic rebuke to the pitiful and idiotic
farce of an obstinate Dmocratic admin
istration, which, in defiance of all pro-
test, and all reason, has gone on reck-
lessly squandering the public money at
Harrisburg. 1t speaks the warning of
Pennsylvania against any attack upon
the tariff which shall imperil the indus
tries of the country. 1t gives notice
that this great Commonwealth will re-
main the Keystone Of the Republican
arch, and will stand in the presidential
contest where she has stood for quar-
ter of century. Pennsylvania has ~
variably pointed the national contest,
and Pennsylvania is Republican.
