Masonic Temple was densely packed with
people long before the speaking commenced
AZ the Democratic mass-mett ting held there
last event e. Every seat aud all available
piaces where standing room could be had on
the floor and in the gallery were early occu-
pied, and many persons who arrived after 5
O'Clock could rot get into the hall. The re-
ceptiOn given Senator Bayard OF Delaware,
Hon. Benton McMillin Of Tennessee, Hon.
Robert NJ. McLan' Attorney General Gwinn,
Hon. Joshua Vansant and other prominent
Democrats as they came upon the platform
was very cordial.
Mr.. James A. l.. Mcclure, secretary OF the
State Central Committee called the meeting
to order aud read a list of officers, with
ron. Joshua Vansart as president, and
long list Of vice presidents.
When Senator Bayard was introduced the
applause was deafening, and 1t was some
minutes before he could commence his
speech. He spoke for over an hour. he
graphically sketche1 the ceDtralizing policy
Of the Republican party. He prayed God
that Maryland pe spared that degradation
which the moet INSCRIPTIONS OF men has
brought upon Virginia, helped by the Pres
ident of the United States with federal pat
ronage. He said there is happily 10 fear of
such calamity for Maryland. Il remains
only for the people to say how much shall

and every other Democrat; candidate tn
this city and State. [Cheets.
In conclusion Mr.. Bayard said:
Fellow citizens, one thing that is eating
into the character OF our people is the abuse
Of tublic offices tor the purpose of prolong-
ing the party in power, aud especially the
emoiuments of these Office holders them
selves. Three YEARS ago came to Baltimore
and spoke IN u building before an audience
like tns, ani / said then thai found 1t was
qu, sIion In that canvass whether or not
the American people could recall power
from tue hands ui those 10 whom II had
been intrusted, and whether the Office hold.
ing power WAS not 81 strong that, consider
ing the actual difference between the par
tier, they would be- able to prolong the
pow er and keep themselves In place. My
friends, believed il then an believe II now.
This system OF using the offices OF
the country to control the country,
and preventing the results Of recur
ring elections by the plan OF pre-
venting rtsignalipAs Of officials placed
iu power To keep up power ut the end o
their term, not To bandit back TO the people
aud to stand bett re them for Judgment

Because other uses are made OF their none
than to support the incumbent honesty
Aud what follows! Dishonesty, peculutio
and fraud. Take III ir own account, thel
