Col. Ditty on Mr.. Holton.

Col. G.. Irving Dirty, removed from the
office of collector of internal revenue to salts
fy the personal spleen of Mr.. Holton, is living
quietly at his home at Irvington. He has
greatly improved in health and is now able to
90 up and down stairs unattended. He is
able to do without the assistance of a servant,
and is assured by the doctors that in short
time he will be entirely recovered from his
paralytic attack.
A Dan reporter called upon Col. Dirty this
morning and asked him for his opinion of the
nomination of Mr.. Holton.
81 consider the nomination of Mr.. Holton
Notification offraud by the Republican party, !"
said Col Dirty, "and in taking him up they
have Endorsed all the wrong doings which for
years past they have been eonGemning in the
Democratic party. / do not believe, how
ever, that the nomination has voiced the sem
timent of the party, Notwithstanding the ap-
parent unanimity with which it has been made.
The nomination was brought about by meth
DDS perfectly well known, and which are con-
demned by very large number of the best
men in the party"
"What kind of methods do you allude to. !"
"Money and promise of pat .onage has been
lavishly used tn oughout the State, and as
there was no other ca ldidate for the nomina-
ton who would descend to such methods, and
apparently no one but Mr. Holton who want
ed the nomination, it is not surprising that he
succeeded in securing the leading place on
the ticket"
"What do you think of Mr. Holton's course
in politics since he has been in public life p
FlMr Holton was little known in public life
prior to his nomination for Congress last fall
land really unknown if l except his being
seated in the Senate during the war when he
was not elected by the popular vote;) that more
than one active Republican in the Fifth con-
gressional district expressed susprise to me
at his candidacy as they were ignorant that he
claimed to be Republican. In fact, may
say that Mr.. Holton was not known at all ex-
cept as Mr.. Gary's brother-in-law. This fact
and the fact that Mr.. Gary in person promis-
ed at a meeting of representive Republicans
of the Fifth district, at the Carrollton Hotel
last fall, that Mr.. Holton's candidacy should
cost the Republican party nothing, caused his
nomination for Congress, which otherwise
would not have been thought of. For nearly
ten years have been active in politics, and
although Mr.. Holton lives in the same county
and election district that | do, | never heard
of him as taking any part in any election
primary or generator in any convention OF
the party in all that time, or of contributing
one cent to campaign expenses-in fact, |
never met Mr.. Holton in my life until he
called on me last fall to ask my support Mr..
Holton has therefore no other recommends
ton than that he has money and knows how
to spend it without scruple or limit, and can
manipulate primaries to the suppression OF
the real wish of the party"
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-10-13
The Result in Ohio.

Ohio has again declared that the Republi-
can party must 60. When such a staunch
Republican state as Ohio declares against the
party, the keystone Of the arch has fallen, and
utter annihilation is only matter of form
for 1884. In seven consecutive presidential
elections-from 1856 to 18eO-she has given
her electoral votes for Republican candidates
by majorities averaging S5, 900, and has chosen
but two Democrats for Governor out oftwelve
elected since 1855. Last year evidences of
unrest and discomfort at Republican misrule
were quite manifest, and her representation
in the lower house of Congress was reversed.
At the municipal elections this year, Repub-
lican local rule was overturned, and now the
whole state has been placed under Democrat
ic rule.
Can it be said that local causes have brought
about this result? Not by any means. The
elections last year were national in their
character, and a majority of the Congressman
elected in Ohio were Democrats. Had the
national Republican party been true to its
principles, faithful to its trusts, and faithful to
the people, Ohio would have stood firm. The
people have been slow in realizing the cen
tralizing and demoralizing tendencies of the
party. Blair, Greeley, Fessenden, Curtain,
Trumbull, Doolittle, Sumner and others left
it years ago, but the rank and file have, by
promises, continued it in power, until all
faith and hope is lost. They observe, at last,
that it is party of corporations and monop-
oIies, held together for power and plumber.
Scandalous contracts, shameful jobbery, pecu-
lation and fraud have become so apparent
that honest and decent men are disguised, and
it has been determined everywhere to turn
the rascals out. The popular indignation
which swept over the country in 1882 still ex-
lists, and has become more intense. The re-
buke of last year had but little effect on the
leaders and manipulators, and the people
have determined that the Republican party
must be overthrow. The results in New
York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania in No
vember will show this, and next year the final
and crushing blow will be given to Republi-
canism.
Let the Democracy OF Maryland prepare
for the contest here next month, and roll up
majority of %, 900 as greeting to the Ohio
Democracy Let us keep step with the
Democracy of the whole Union, who are now
marching to certain victory. The larger the
majority the greater the triumph. The more
overwhelming the vote, the easier the victory
of 1884.
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1883-10-13
The Ohio Election.


The election in Ohio was much more i'm
portant to Republicans than Democrats. Had
il gone Republican by 25, 900 majority the re-
suit would not have had any depressing effects
upon the Democracy. 1t has been Repub-
lican state for nearly thirty years, and it was
hardly to be expected that the Democrats
would carry it. To the Republicans, how
ever, the issue was vital. With Ohio against
them, their last hope was gone. Hence their
herculean efforts Hence the great array OF
talent put upon the hustings. Hence the Law
ish expenditure Of money. To hold Ohio
firm was their only hope for 1884. New York
and New Jersey were certain for the Democ-
racy, and so was Indiana. Upon the issue in
Ohio depended the existence of the party.
They will 90 into the next Presidential con-
test with New York, Connecticut, New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, California,
Nevada, Missouri, Texas, Georgia, Louisian-
ma. Alabama, mississippi, Arkansas, Florida,
North and South Carolina, Virginia, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Maryland
against them. These twenty-three states are
now under Democratic control, and their cleo
torai votes foot up 275, or very large ma
iority Of the whole. The Democrats win have
in the contest of 1884 even chances in Colora-
do, Maine, Oregon, New Hampshire and
Wisconsin besides. There will be no by Z
commission, nor will there be any star-route
rings to put up money to debauch voters.
Besides, it will be necessary to buy SO many
states to elect a Republican President the
Republican Prise won't hold out. The Re-
publican party must go.

Too Much Money.
The Ncm York IE0lId:

From the Ncr York World:
Secretary Folger tells the newspapers that
the balances in the Treasury are now upwards
of SI55, 900, 900 and revenues continue to pour
in to the amount of about 81 900, 600 day.
"We continue to have an Overlooking Treas
urv and more money than we know what to
do with says the Secretary.
This money comes out of the pockets of the
people. Every man who buys a pound OF
sugar, a suit of clothes, a pair of boots, a gal
lon of whiskey or paper of tobacco, contrib
utes towards this overhowing Treasury and
adds to the Government puzzle of what to do
with the money.
Every man who feels the pressure of heavy
rent knows that he pays more than he ought
to nav because of the taxes which are imposed
to swell this enormous and embarrassing sur
plus revenue.
What will the Government do with it i? Rush
the payment of debt already too greatly re-
duced at the expense of the taxpayers of to-
day? Lavish it on extravagant and corrupt
appropriations? Squander it in visionary and
inInracticable schemes? Steal it?
it will be disposed of in some such way, and
for this the people are loaded down with tax
alton. industries are paralyzed and the prog
ress of the country is retarded. This is Re-
publican craftsmanship.

party They have given away Ia, 200, 900 acres
in land grants, 10000, 600 being given to six
railroad companies, and in addition the gov
eminent endorsed the companies bonds.
Since the Democrats gained control of one
house of Congress not one acre has been
given away. The public domain belongs to
the people-the poor as well as the rich-and
the government had no right to give it to cor
porations. It has robbed the people tc foster
monopolies. If settler from the East wants
a home in the far West, he must purchase
what was his own from railroad This is
another of the 'grand achievements spoken
of in the Republican platform.
