the figures of this election--what the
result might have been, had the Reform
ers selected as their candidate, any one
of the many prominent and successful
business men of that city who for years
have been identified with its commercial
and property interests, and whose hands
are clean of the faint of partizan politics
As it was, the Republicans had moth
ing left them but the choice between
two Democrats, both of them closely
identified with local partizan politics.
That Mr.. Heiskell for want of identi-
fication with Baltimore interests, lost
more votes than constitute Mr.. Latrobe's
majority is very plain.
Politically, the result is disastrous to
the Democratic Managers, and shows
that if some Baltimore merchant Of
standing had been nominated upon q
platform framed in the light of a uni
versal demand for city administration
free from the sinister influences OF
cliques, rings or factions" he would
have been overwhelmingly elected.
So far as Republican prospects in the
State canvass are concerned, none but
silly partizans will claim, that the defeat
of Mr.. Heiskell can possibly effect them
unfavorablv.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN
BALTIMORE.

While the result of the Municipal
Election in Baltimore on Wednesday,
is a disappointment to the friends of
political reform, yet the Democratic
Managers have nothing to congratulate
themselves on, in the outcome of that
contest.
1t is true, that Mr.. Latrobe has secur-
ed his reelection, but it is no less the
fact, that he has succeeded by his own
personal popularity, and the personal
weakness of his opponent, rather than
by the strength or influence of the
"Ring" managers.
This is apparent in the vote Tor city
councilmen. In number of wards in
the city in which the managers have
heretofore been potential politically
their candidates have been beaten while
in the same ward Mr.. Latrobe secured
a majority, showing that Mr.. Latrobe
was stronger than his party, and that he
could command vote for himself, which
they could not control for their candi
date. But the. most potential cause
contributing to Mr.. Latrobe's success
was Mr.. Heiskell's weakness. We have
no disposition to disparage the merit
of this gentleman personally, but The
fact is undeniable, that he lacked thu
essential elements of popular candi
date. Who can doubt-in the light o

Grafton, if not by direct opposition in the
legislature. In case of another effort
in the same direction by the next Gov

above gentlemen do you think will be
best able to cooperate effectively therein.
We do not question in any of them, the
zeal and integrity to act according to the
best of their ability.
But from your knowledge of them,
which of them furnish the best evidence
of the necessary experience, business,
push, and force of character to make
their influence felt for good among their
fellow members?
Which of them will be best able to
deal Understandings with questions of
administration or of finance that may
come become them?
Which will be most competent to frame
Bill, report it to the House and advo-
cate its passage?
Having any similar work to be done in
your private affairs, which of them would
you select to do it for you?
Shall not whichever of these gentle
men best answers these requirements re-
ceive your vote ?

FIRE AT ANNAPOLIS.
A CONFEDERATION from Coal oil Lamp
100000 Worth of Property Con-
srmed.

A disastrous conilagration took place
in Annapolis on Monday morning which
involved the destruction of twelve
houses in the business part Of the city
and tho loss Of two lives. Eight of the
buildings burned were brick and four OF
wood. The total loss of property is esti-
mated at $4,000, which is only COW
cred by insurance in part.
The fire broke out at o'clock in the
morning in a three story brick building,
occupied by Louis S. Clayton as Il groe-
ery store, on the market space fronting
the harbor of Annapolis. The upper
floors of the house were occupied by Mr..
James Legg and family as dwelling.
The family included Mr.. Legg and his
wi e. their son, Charles {. Lego eyed
40 years, Miss Elizabeth Watkins, a
sister of Mrs. Legg. ..std about SO Years,
and several grandchildren. The family
We're al asleep WHOM the alarm was
soanded. A bright light was discovered
in the store of Mr.. Clayton by John
Hollidavuka who lives on Main street,
near by. He went at once to the en-
trance OF the dwelling. at one side of the
store, and battered down the hall door.
Rushing up stairs he caught up child
and brought it down safely in his arms.
In the meantime the family of Mr.. Legg
was aroused, and had barely time to
make their escape in their night clothing.
Mr.. Charles c. Legg, one of the first
to get out safely, remembered that his
aunt, Mrs. Watkins, an aged invalid.
was yet in the house, and although the
flames had made great progress, he Went
back to rescue her, and they both per-
isheG in the flames.
Among the miscellaneous merchandise
o the store was keg of gunpowder and
q barrel of coal OIL As Mr.. Legg as
cended the stairs an explosion took place
and he must have b EN- suffocated to
death by the smoke. Neither he nor
the object of his heroic self-sacritice were
seen afterwards alive. The other members
of the family were removed to neighbor-
ing house. Before they were rescued
their screams for help were heartrend-
ing.
The fire is supposed to have been
caused by a coal-oil lamp, which had
been left lighted, and exploded when
the oil had burned low.
The fire spread to surrounding build
ings and twelve in all were consumed.
Aid was rendered by the Naval Acad-
envy Fire Brigade and the Baltimore
city department.

| One week from next Tuesday the PEG,
pie of Maryland will be called upon to
make their choice of rulers.
1t will be for them to say whether they
will go on in the path they have travelled

endorsed and supported by clique, and,
if elected, will owe his election to the
gubernatorial chair to the active endeav-

by his success.
The Democratic party had no voice in
his nomination. The great mass of hon
est and unselfsh Democratic citizens
played no part in his selection. THEY
were not consulted. Their wills were not
| first ascertained. A combination of men
who had in view only their own personal
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and who knew no law
save their own sweet wills, "slated' the
ticket and forced it upon the party.
For more than decade that combina-
ton has been potential in Mary Iand. 1t

1t has ridden rough shod over the rights
| of the people. 1t has dominated every
branch of the State government. 1t has
bestowed public offices without regard to
fitness, but solely as reward.
1t has created useless offices to make
place for its plant instruments. 1t has
| placed at the doors and in the halls of
the Legislature shameless and corrupt
lobby and, times without number, it has
treated the people to sweet-toned pledges
of reform only TO make them victims of
deeper betrayal.
The time has come for the people of
the State to call halt on the superserv-
iceable Satellites of the Ring The

THE ELECTION IN BALTIMORE.
Latrobe, Regular Democrat. Beats Heis'
kell Reform and Fusion Democrat.

The municipal election took place in
Baltimore on Wednesday. AS is known
to our readers the Republicans made no
nomination for Mayor, but portion OF
their strength was thrown in favor of }.
Monroe Heiskell, the Reform Democrat
and Fusion candidate. Ferdinand e..
Latrobe was the Ring Democratic candi-
date. The result of the contest was the
election of Latrobe to the office OF mayor
over Heiskell by $40 majority, and a
City Council, the First Branch of which
stands 10 Democrats to 10 Retormers ana
the Second : Democrats to Reformers.
Two of the regular candidates for the
First Branch-Messrs. Cox and Streett-
were Endorsed and two for the Second
Branch were also Endorsed - Messrs;
Hamilton and Howard. Latrobe carried
eleven wards-the First, Second, Ihlrd,
Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth,
Tenth, Thirteenth and Seventeenth. Inc
other wards were carried by Mr.. delsKell
by maiorities ranging from 26l to II:
The total vote cast was 54, 81, aud the
interest was general all day all over the
city. Both parties worked hard. but the
numbered the Heiskell men and showed
more than ordinary zeal. The colored
voters turned out very strong, but IN
many instances voted for Latrobe, while
a large number of the white Republicans
did likewise Had the Republicans held
solidly together there is no doubt that
Hieskell would have been elected. But,
although the bosses have elected their
candidate for mayor, their hands are
practically tied by the City Council,
which, as before indicated, will in great
measure at least be controlled by the re-
formers, Democrats and Republicans.
In many of their strongholds. which
were carried by Latrobe, the bosses were
utterly routed. All this shows the cleo
ton by Republicans of Mr.. Latrobe, and
the defeat of the bosses councilmen CAN
didate by the same Republicans.
The political complexion of the coun-
ellis is about as follows: First Branch,
regular Democrats 10, Fusion or Re
formers 10, six of whom are Republicans.
Second Branch, Regular Democrats 7,
Fusion or Reform 3, and one of these is
Republican.
