Hon. William It. Hamilton, the Demo-
cratic Governor of Maryland is evidently
an honest man, and as such has avery
hard time of it in trying to get along with
his party in that State, which seems to be
honey -combed with corruption. He is
candidate for denomination, but is OPP
posed by the. Democratic machine .
that controls the State He makes his
appeal, therefore, to the people, and is.
sued an address II few days ago in which
last three Democratic Legislatures. He
shows by numerous examples that the
Democratic leaders in the Legislature fol-
lowed a policy OF making extravagant APP
preparations and making needless offices.
At the close of his address he appeals to
the Democrats of Maryland to reform
their party management in the State aud
Legislature, and failing in this to start an
independent party movement. He joins
in the cry of the N. Y. Sun, :" turn the
rascals out" but all the rascals he knows
anything about are Democrats.

members Of the old City Fire Board, for
Irregularities in the accounts Of that de-
partment The charges are that un-
necessary supplies were bought at more
than the market price, and that the Board
violated Il city ordinance by buying sup
plies from two OF the members.
