A Drunken Mans Life Saved by Pc.
lice Officer.
About two o'clock this morning Officer
Dick Bird was instrumental in saving the
life OF an unknown drunken man In the
Hempfield yard. The stranger had fallen or
lain down on the railroad treck, with his
breast over one OF the rails. A boy passing
saw him and left word at the
City Building OF his dangerous posi-.
ton. Bird, knowing. that q train
was about going out, hurried down. He was
Joined at Fourteenth street by an 1NrELLl'
GEScEn reporter, and Just then the train was
heard coming up Sixteenth street. The
officer and the reporter qulckened their
steps to run, and just caught hold Of the
inser sible sleeper and threw him
off the track 10 bank Of earth,
when the tain, with the engine SHOW
Ing from the rear, and the headlight stream
ips down the track toward Chapline street,
dashed past. Two seconds OF delay on the
officers part would have resulted in the
Ioan's death. AS II YVES he hada race with
the train from Msrket street
The man abused the officer roundly for his
painr. He was locked up, and will this
morning be arraigued In police court on a
charge OF drunkenness.
At the lookup he gave bis name as James
Gillespie. He lives In East Wheeling.

Maryland Elections.

A governor, comptroller, attorney gen
eral and legislature are to be chosen in
Maryland next fall, in addition to county
officers. Of the Senate only half are to be
chosen, thirteen members holding over, as
follows Second Legislative District Bal
timore city, John Gill, Dem; Allegany
county, VIM. Brace, Rep; Caroline, An
drew B. Roe, Rep; Cecil, Levi R. Mearns,
Dem; Charles, f. NJ. Lancaster, Rep;
Dorchester, Henry Lloyd, Dem; Garrett,
VIM R. Getty, Dem; Hartford, Edw. NJ.
Allen, Rep; Montgomery, Jos. I. Moore,
Rep; Prince Georges, R. H. Magruder,
Rep; ST. Mary's, Joseph S. Allston, Rep;
Talbot, j. Davis Clark, Rep; Worcester,
Geo. W. Bishop, Dem. Totals Repub
licans, Democrats.
Senators are to be elected as follows =
First and Third Districts of Baltimore city;
Baltimore county, Anne Arundel, Calvert,
Carroll, Frederick, Howard, Kent, Queen
Anne's, Somerset, Washington, Wicomico.
In the last Senate these were divided as
follows Democrats II; Republicans 2.
At the Congressional election held on
the 7th of November, 1882, the counties
in which Senators are to be elected were
carried as follows by the Democrats, 1st
and Sd Legislative districts of Baltimore city,
Baltimore county; Carroll, Howard, Kent,
Queen Annes, Wicomico. By the Re-
publicans, Anne Arundel, Calvert, Freder-
lex, Somerset, Washington.
Thus, should these counties vote next
fall as they did last, the next Senate would
be tie. Anne Arundel, Calvert and Som
erset, however, are Democratic, and with
good candidates and a united party will
surely elect Democratic Senators. This
would give the Democrats sixteen and the
Republicans ten, and Washington county
is debatable ground.
To secure good working majority in the
Senate the Democrats must not stop to
contest over faction. Faction lost us Mont
gomery, Hartford, Talbot and Caroline, all
Democratic counties, now represented by
Republicans who hold over. Had the
party stood for principle, rather than men,
these counties would have Democratic Sen
ators to represent them. We warn the
party, therefore, to cast aside personal po-
litics. Come together in convention I'M
pledged, listen to the claims of candidates,
choose the best, then work for the ticket.
Vote for your principles, and consider not
the men on your ticket.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-02-03
Tine New senator from Colorado.

The Teller wing of the Republican party IN
Colorado has triumphed over the Hill wing
in the election of Thomas M. Bowen to the
Senate, but this victory is likely to be the
forerunner of defeat next year.
Bowen was formerly a carpet Dagger IN
Arkansas, where he was notorious during the
neriod of reconstruction. He was candl-
date for the Senate against Dorsey IN 1878.
There were only few Democrats then in the
Legislature, but the friends of MIR. Garland,
the present Senator from Arkansas, did not
hesitate to vote for Dorsey as man vastly to
be preferred to Bowen. That fact is, per-
baps, the strongest commentary that could be
made on the standing of the new Senator.
After his defeat in Arkansas, Bowen MI
grated to Colorado, where as Judge, he
maintained the reputation which he had car
ried with him. His decisions in certain I'M
portant mining cases are familiar to the peo'
pie of that State.
Kellogg goes out of the Senate on March 4;
but Bowen, another carpet Dagger of the old
stripe, comes in to fill his place.
The Republicans hitherto have counted
largely upon the blunders of the Democrats.
But the Democrats seem to be turning the
tables on their opponents. In putting Secor
Robson forward as their leader in the House
of Representatives, in making keifer Speaker
by corrupt bargain, in packing the commit
tees for venal legislation, in repeating the eX
travagance and excuses of Grantism, and in
reviving the feuds between the factions o.
their own party, the Republican leaders in,
vited the crushing defeat that followed swiftly
upon these acts last November.
The Bowen blunder probably disposes o.
the chances of Republican success in Colorado
next year.

Hon. George Hawkins Williams.

From the IotcsOntQton JluFnqti
Among the names of distinguished gentle
men very likely to be presented to the Dem
ocratic State Convention when 1t assemblies
to nominate candidate for Governor of Ma
ryland, none stands higher before the people
of this State than that of the Hon. George
Hawkins Williams, the Senator from Balti-
more county and at present the President OF
the Senate. Mr.. Williams is well known as
a man of distinguished talents, not only in the
legal profession of which he is a brilliant
member, but in the general business affairs of
life: man of broad and liberal views; of the
highest firmness and decision of character; of
sound political principles and not afraid to
announce them upon all occasions; and thor
ouehlv acquainted with the intricate affairs of
his native State, where he has spent his whole
life. With all those qualifications so abso
lutely necessary at this time, and with ripe
experience possessed by few men, Mr.. Will
liams is most admirably fitted to take the
Gubernatorial chair of Maryland, one of the
original thirteen, whose brilliant records stand
proudly before her sister States as among the
brightest in the galaxy.
In age Mr.. Williams has approached that
time when his varied experience would be OF
the highest benefit to the State, and the Demo-
cratic Convention, in nominating him, would
secure a man of no uncertain tenure OF char
acter. but clear headed, bold, determined
man. who, knowing the right, would maintain
it. And, being devoid of those little pecca
dilloes and idosyncracies which sometimes
afflict public men, he would shed that lustre
upon the history of the State which would
maintain her honor and dignity. as has been
her proud record in the past.

The ADVOCATE returns thanks to Hon.
Robert NJ. McLane, one of the ablest and
most useful men Maryland has ever had in
the Congress of the United States, for a
copy of his speech on American Shipping,
and for a copy of the speech of Hon. r. p.
Flower of n. Y, on constitutional amend
ment giving the President power to veto
items of appropriation bills. We have not
read either yet, but are in full accord with
Mr.. Flowers object, and hope he may
get the amendment passed.
Our thanks are also due to Senators
Groome and German for interesting con-
gressional Documents and to Hon. j. Fred.
C. Talbot for copy of the tariff bill. If
Maryland's representatives will follow the
line on the tariff as expressed in the speech
of Mr.. Tucker of Virginia, last Saturday,
their constituents will say well done Mr..
Tucker favored reduction of the tariff;
but not such radical reduction as a tariff
for revenue only. He would reach that
point gradually.

Politics. Public Schools and Oysters.

This is a most incongruousm medley, some
may think, but others seem not to thinkso.
Our respected contemporary, the Baltimore
Herald, in constructing platform for the
Republican party, to be used in the cam
vass of next fall, proposes to insert two new
planks, and novel ones, in Maryland party
politics One is the subject of Public
Schools, and the other is that of Oysters
We don't know that we understand, fully,
what our contemporary proposes to do with
Public Schools. The Normal School is to
be knocked into "smithereens," that is, if
the Herald can have its way with the Re-
publican party, and that party can have Its
way with the people who do the voting.
We think we see Prof Newell, with arms
and legs extended, flying through the air,
surrounded by the Public School teachers,
examiners, school commissioners, desks,
maps, inkstands, blackboards, and the de-
bris of the whole system, knocked "higher
than kite" by the Herald. As to the
Oysters, we don't know whether our re-
spected contemporary means to take them
upon the half shell or shells and all, or
whether it will prefer them ''roast, stewed
or fried" Most likely it will aim to make
a ste,o out of them, with itself as chief
cook and bottlewasher. We shall watch
the progress of the Herdld'S canvass against
the Democratic party, with Public Schools
and Oysters for platform, with consider
able interest. Perhaps, like Ancient Pistol,
it thinks
'.The world mine oyster,
Which | with sword will open :;
Or, at least, that part of the world called
Maryland, and that portion of the people
of Maryland which constitute the Demo-
cratic party. The school system may now
say, with Prince Hal, in the play
''Ha, ha, ha; this boy will be the death o me. "
