The Chairman of the Committee
From the Hagerston Mail Dem.l

From the Hagerston Mail Dem.l
We observe that Senator German
is continued as Chairman Ofthe Dem
ocratic State Central Committee.
This appointment was made by Mr..
Philip Francis Thomas, who was
chairman of the convention.
1t must be noted that Senator Cor.
man called Mr.. Thomas to the chair
and then followed the appointment
of Mr.. German by Mr.. Thomas.
One of the great objects of Ring
management is to get and keep pos
session of the organization and espec-
tally of the Central Committee, and
more especially still of the Chairman
of that committee.
The undemocratic mode of making
the chairman, will at once be observ-
ed. 1t rests, not with the committee
or a majority, but is despotically
made by the chairman of the CT nven-
ton, which, as a body, has nothing
to do with the chairman of the COM
mittee and most certainly which the
chairman of the convention ought
not to have in his own absolute pow-
err.
1t is one of the recent innovations
of the "Ring" and It's importance is
to be estimated by the use made OF
it.
In fact the committee at its very
first meeting should make this issue.
1t may be said that the majority OF
it are the henchmen of German and
it would be of no avail.
But still if there be but one to dc
it, let it be manfully done. Let nc
such wrong be done without stand.
ing protest from even one if there be
no more.
We regard this placing of Senator
German at the head of this commit.
tee as an insult to the reformatory
sentiment and standing merace tc

Republican Reduction OF the National
Debt,

Nothing more positively and satis~
factorily shows the great prosperity
of the country under the Republican
party, as we'll as the great skill with
which it has managed the national
finances, than the gradual but certain
payment of the public debt. In 1857,
the debt was less than Sl0,OO0,0OO.
1t sprang up in 1861 to $87, 100000,
under the necessities of the war which
was largely due to the weak, vascilla-
ting government of James Buchanan.
ThencefOrward, there was increase
until the maximum of S2,756,43l ,57l
was reached in 1865. Since then,
this huge sum has been reduced ST.
217.649, 1853, and the interest charge
has been brought down from $780,
977. 697.87 to sol, 1856, 706.50, per an
mum.
Secretary Folger. on the 9th inst,
is reported to haye said that the bal.
ance in the Treasury was S155,000,-
900, and that the revenues pour in at
the rate of Sl,000,000 day. The
question, what to do with this sur
plus? now occupies the attention of
the Secretary. The natural answer
would seem to be the redemption of
the three per cents, but against this
those protest who have only lately
purchased these bonds at a premium
amounting in some cases to four per
cent. Some think that the Secretary
fayors a two per cent. long bond. One
thing is certain, that the Government
can now afford to reduce the revenues
from imports and internal revenue
taxes. 1t is not desirable to have
very heavy balances on hand, as they
tempt inconsiderate congressman to
indulge in useless expenditures.
On the whole this reduction of the
amount ofthe national debt is exec d.
ingly gratifying. If the Republican
party should remain in power it will
be still further reduced until the load
becomes so light as not to be percep-
tible.

Vote the Republican Ticket.

When party in power is denounc-
ed, so far as its past practices and
leaders, by the man it has elected as
Governor, there must be very great
reasons why it should be asked "to
step out" and give way to its rival.
This is the condition of the Demo-
cratic party in Maryland. Governor
Hamilton has pronounced the seve-
rest Judgment upon the very men who
have organized its present campaign
and nominated its ticket. He dare
not vote its ticket, without Withdraw :
ing his charges against the present
leaders or showing an amount of in
difference to his reputation for con-
sistency quite astounding for public
man, The other voters of the State,
who have recognized the truth of his
statements, and who ach noWledge that
there must be a change in the gov
eminent of the State, can show their
consistency only by voting the full
Republican ticket. Let there be no
cutting because this man or that man
may not be satisfactory on other queS-
items not political. The candidates
have accepted their nominations and
recognized the Republican platform
as theirs, hence the ticket as whole
cOmmends itself to the voters.

The election for State Senators in
Maryland is going to be very close
this year. Thirteen Senators hold
over and thirteen are to be elected in
November for four years. OF those
holding over eight are Republicans
and five are Democrats. The Repub.
licans need six more Senators to con
troll the Senate, Frederick and Wash
ington counties will doubtless give
them two of the six, and they are
specially endeavoring to elect their
candidates in Anne Arundel, Calvert.
Kent, Somerset and Carroll. Somer.
set usually goes Republican. Calvert
is close, and so is Anne Arundel, but
by reason of local differences there
this year the Republicans stand much
the better chance to elect their candi.

greatest promise of Republican sue.
cess is held out, and there are possibly
one or two Others where the ground
is debateable. 1t would not astonish
either party in Maryland to see the

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent
NEW YORK, Oct. Eth, 1883.

NEW 1ORk, NJct, fZtn, 1883.
The battle in Ohio is over, and con-,
trary to general anticipation it has
ended with complete overthrow of
the Republican party. Now that the.
smoke of battle has cleared away it is
easy to perceive just how this occur
red, and although victory has been
lost it is we'll for the party in other
States i'm which elections are to be-
held to study the causes of Foraker's
defeat and if possible guard against
them. There is no doubt that the
Prohibition vote which has grown
largely has cut deeply into Republic
can returns then too money was used
to such an extent by the Democrats
as to amaze even the most hardened
campaigner. But the chief reason
was that the Republicans were over
confident. Hoadly's repeated blum
ders. Il is asinine faculty of making
fool of himself on any and every
occasion, convinced them that the
good sense of the people would OPP
pose the elevation of such a man to-
the chief position in the State. In
this they were disappointed. Itnow
behooYes them to work all the harder
in other States to make good the loss.f
In Iowa Repubiicanism was trium-
plant, although the fight was bitter
one, and the party shows the marks.
of battle in the shape of largely re.
duced maorities. The Democrats in
that State as in fact throughout the
West, gained strength by their all-
ance with the liquor interest. OF
course no permanent good can be de.
rived by them from this unholy
union, but meanwhile this interest
remains an important factor which
cannot be overlooked by Republicans
leaders in the estimates of their
chances.
In Massachusetts things are very
much mixed. Two weeks ago it look
ed as if the Republicans had indeed
but a slender chance, and Butler and
his henchmen began to crow at great
rate. Now, however, they are be-
ginning to sing in lower key. The
Republicans set to work in quiet,
systematic but all the more earnest
way, to prove to the people that But
lerism could never make an Arcadia
of the Bay State, and now people are
somehow awakening to the fact that
the Democratic ticket is all head and
no tail, and that the head is as Eighty
as an engine without a balance wheel.

Here is a sentiment uttered at a Re-
publican meeting in Baltimore last
week by Mr.. Henry N. Bankard that
every voter in Maryland would do
well to paste in his hat:
eff you believe what the present
Governor of Maryland said about the
Democratic party; if you believe
what the Young Democratic Asso
citation said about its party if you
believe what s. Teackle Wallis said
about his party, and if you believe
what every honest Democrat SAYS
about his party, you will go to the
polls on the 9th of November, you

The two Democratic daily papers of
Baltimore Dag and NeUS) are both
heartily supporting the Independent
movement, and endorses the fusion
program. The Day Monday Of last
week contained the following re-
markable editorial, which all should
read and note:
A good many sincere and we'll

they say they remember with horror
the old KnowNothing days and the
reign of force and fraud that follow

agine that others have forgotten these
things? They surely cannot believe
so. Why, then, is it that for years
past the Democratic majOrities in this
city have steadily diminished and at
times utterly disappear, so that it l0dS

The answer is very simple, and a

From the Baltimore American.
Poor Keedyl

In the late Democratic Ring con-
Yention there was an eloquent repre-
sentative of reform. He drew up
and presented the reform platform
platform SO good that the Republi-
can Reform convention adopted il
word for woodland Unsupported that
declaration in manly speech de
nouncing the bosses. When he al
luded to the historic fact that "Balti-
more city has time and again cOntroll-
ed the people of the whole State by
stuffed ballot boxes" the convention
Kissed. Perhaps the ring thought
that this ought not to be mentioned
in the presence of Mr.. John Lee Car
roll. But Mr.. Keedy, unappalled by
the Kisses, said: "Let them hiss!
haye the moral courage to stand up
and tell this convention what | think.
Yes, gentlemen, perish office, perish
life, l will do what is right, and will
do it like man." He then went on
and made stirring reform speech,
denounced the useless Offices that
were created to make places for the
henchmen of the bosses. He wound
up by saying; eff we fight the bat
tie ofreform, we shall win otherwise
we shall lose" Yet this truly heroic
reformer has been whipr ed in. He
is now stumpipg the State for the
party that despised reform, defending
the bosses in the frauds that he con-
demned in the convention, and at.
lacking the Republican party, which
has adopted the principles which he
declared to be essential to honest
government.
We feel for Mr.. Keedy. We ven
ture to believe that he suffers a deep
and burning sense of shame when he
rises to defend the abuses that he
aimed to reform, and oppose the
principles that he drew up with his
own hand and which the Republicans
now stand by. 1t must be agOnizing
to him to work at the bidding OF the
men who Kissed him in the cOnven.

thought would need stuffed ballot.

to control the State. Sharp must be
the crack of the party whip that
forces Mr.. Keedy to exhibit himself
before the honest people Of the State
in such an attitude. The bosses lash

back must burn like fire for he must
know that while he himself finds il
eXpedient to kiss the rod, there are
many and sincere Democrats who are
not waiting for Office who will moi
submit, and across whose erect verte.

noble emotion, "Perish Office, perish

his attitude seems to say, "Save office

wrong" Poor Keedy!

Only the figures on the prohibition

Only the figures on the prohibition
amendment in Ohio have been gath
cred completely from all the counties.
These are not all official, but mostly
so, and are reliable. The total vote
cast was 7O9, 1886 for prohibition, $685.
413; majority against it, $4,000. For
ty.six of the eighty eight counties
gave majorities ranging from II in
Wyandotte to 1887 in Columbiana.
Forty-twO counties gave majorities
against ranging from 70 in Allen to
l3,4S4 in Cuyahoga and Al 1857 in
Hamilton. 1t was lost by a majority
OF about $4,000 votes outside of the
five cities of Cincinnati, Cleveland,
Dayton, Toledo and Columbus. This
great vote for prohibition in an cleo
