Maryland Politics.

The Republicans of Charles county are not
to have walk over for local officers. An
independent ticket is announced, and it is
thought has a good chance of being elected
The county is being canvassed, and some of
the independent candidates are very sanguine
of success. The following is the ticket
House of Delegates, +. D. r. Bean, Jas. A.
Franklin, one to be supplied, all Democrats.
County commissioners, DIR. Thos. A. Carrico,
Samuel Cox, Jr, B. W. Spalding, Democrats;
Thos. Norman, John H. Chappelear, Repub
licans. The judges for the Orphans Court
will be two Republicans and one Democrat.
A meeting of colored voters of the ninth
ward, Baltimore, was held last Sunday at a
hall on Davis street. The following officers
were elected President, George Johnston;
vice-president, Levin Campher; secretary,
John c. Bailey; treasurer, John Barnes; SER
geant alarms, Nat. Digs. Seventy-five mem
bers were enrolled. The club unanimously
indorsed Hon. Robert NJ. McIane for Gov
ernor and Ferdinand G.. Latrobe for mayor.
Several speeches were made for these candi-
dates.
j. Monroe Heiskel has been nominated for
mayor of Baltimore by combination of sore
head Democrats and the Republican party.
A fusion ticket has been nominated for other
CITY officers. The ticket was selected by a
little coterie of men, whilst the Democratic
ticket was put in the field by the votes of q,
600 Democrats. The election occurs on the
oath, next Wednesday.
In a speech at Upper Marlboro on Tuesday
night, Hon. Barnes Compton defended the
Democratic management of Maryland State
affairs, and challenged any one in the State
to show him where corruption existed, and to
meet him on the issue in joint discussion.
The Republican press of Maryland didn't
make much fuss over the Ohio and Iowa elec-
tons. The news was cramped in very small
space in some, and others forgot to mention
the Democratic victories at all. That Ohio
victory was sockdolager,
On the registration in Caroline county this
year, counting every colored man registered
a Republican, the Democrats gained 80 votes.
There has been a very large Democratic in
crease in Somerset also.

The Legislative printing is likely to burn
somebody's fingers. The law requires a spe-
eific bid on an unknown amount of work and
expenditure. Rustic noyices now have a
chance to rush in and demonstrate the truth
or falsity of their allegations of extravaganza
concerning the sum paid by the last Legisla-
ture If fingers should be burnt, however,
there will be no salve for them in the shape of
an extra allowance Let them bear that in
mind. They can, however, have an agent in
either House to keep down the motions to
print, which come quick and fast from the
members OF all sides, without the least regard
to low contracts. The contract will be award
ed on Wednesday next, the Oath of October.
We understand there we're two propositions
at the last session-one for $4,000 and one
for $40, 500. One was considered irresponsi-
BILE, the other withdrawn. Let us now see
what rigid economy can effect, and what
quality of work and material will be the re-
suit of the lowest bid system.

The odious civil rights bill, which every
Democrat, and such Republicans as Senators
Carpenter and Schurz, declared to be uncon-
stitutional when it was under Consideration,
but which was passed by the Republican party
to please the negroes and TO humiliate the
white people in the old slave states, was on
Monday declared unconstitutional and void
by the United States Supreme Court. This
is another evidence of the return of reason,
and another confirmation of the principles
and aims of the Democratic party. The con-
stimtion forbids class legislation, and the
Democratic party has always upheld the con
stitution. Equality of all men before the law
and protection for all, poor and rich, is a
Democratic principle.

The Civil Rights Decision.
From the Washington Post of Tuesday.

From The WdShtngtOR FOst 0J IueSuuy.
The decision of the United States Supreme
Court in various cases growing out of the
civil rights act, rendered yesterday, will at
tract more attention and excite more discus
sion than any other decision of that tribunal
since the bred Scott case was disposed Of
The long fight, led by Charles Sumner, which
preceded the passage of the act, the many ac-
rimonious debates in Congress and the numer-
Gus prosecutions that have occurred for vio-
lations of the law have made it a familiar
topic of discussion in almost every household
and place of business, The decision just rem
dered applies to the first and second sections
of the law guaranteeing to colored persons
equal accommodations and privileges in hotels,
restaurants, cars and theatres. The court
holds that Congress had no right to pass those
sections under either the thirteenth or four
teenth amendments.

Fusion Movement in Baltimore.

The fusion ticket in Baltimore for mayor
and council, nominated by committee of
stiIted Democrats and Republicans, is likely
to receive small vote, notwithstanding the
support Of the Day, Ne,os, Herald and Anaer-
lean. It is no such movement as that of the
independents last fall. The fact that the
Sun, which has a greater circulation and in
huence than all the papers combined, does not
support it, is evidence that there is no occa-
sion for it. Some of those whose names were
attached to the call for Mr.. Heiskel to become
candidate for mayor, have publicly with
drawn their support, and card signed by
some twenty Republican business firms tend
ering support to Hon. F. C. Latrobe was
published in the San of Tuesday. Those
protested Democrats in the movement might
as well keep on over into the Republican
party, for there is but one step between the
position they now occupy and the ranks of the
Republicans.
The rural Democracy have become disgust
ed with the so-called Independent Democrats
of Baltimore They always fail the party
when their services are most desired. They
are for or against it whenever within dictates,
and nine out of every ten of them are Office
seekers and are influenced in all their actions
by the hope of gain. The Democracy of the
counties have no use for those who are Demo
Gratis for revenue. They prefer a minority
party composed of men actuated by principle,
than to have a majority made up of men who
care more for self than party. The demand
for reform in Baltimore is fraud; and to say
that the Democratic party, which contains
within its ranks the great bulk of the wealth
and intelligence of the city, cannot economi-
cally and honestly administer its government,
and that it is necessary to elect half of the
council from the Republican ranks, is libel.
No city in the Union is better governed than
Baltimore No state in the Union is better
governed than Maryland, and the Democratic
party has governed both for the past sixteen
years.
What was the record when the Republicans
were in the ascendancy. The old Know
Nothing party, of which the Repubhcanparty
is the successor, made the name of Baltimore
by-word and reproach. Her business was
paralyzed, and remained so until the Democ-
racy wrested the city from them in 1861
What is the record of the Republican party
in nearly every state they have controlled and
in administering the general government?
Fraud, bribery and corruption are written all
over it.
Yet to purify the government of Baltimore,
Republicans must be chosen to Office. False
and preposterousl

Dissatisfied Republicans.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, October l7.-There has
been much dissatisfaction among Republicans
of the Seventh judicial District, including the
counties of Monroe, Steuben, Cayuga, Onta-
rio, Wayne, Livingston, Yates and Seneca,
since w. Dean Shuart and John ii. Camp
were nominated for the Supreme Court, and
a paper will be published tomorrow recon-
mending Republican voters to support the
nominations of James l.. Angle and George
B. Bradley, the Democratic candidates, be-
cause their nominations are the result of a
public demand for their services, while the
Republican nominations are not, and because
the methods by which the Republican nomi-
nations were brought about were discreditable.
The paper is signed by fifty prominent Re-
publican lawyers of Monroe county and sew
enteen from Ontario. The leading Monroe
county signatures are William F. Cogswell,
Oscar Craig, Frederick A. Whittlesey, F. L..
Durand, Edward Webster, Jonas P. Varnum,

Look at the difference.

In Carroll county the rate of taxation for
county purposes is 40 cents on the 500. This
is the lowest rate of any county in the state.
The rate here as compared with the rate in
the counties under Republican rule, speaks
volumes for the continuance of Democratic
control. Here are the figures
In Democratic Carroll 40 Cents.
In Republican Frederick 65 cents.
In Republican Allegany 674 cents.
In Republican Somerset 864 cents.
In Republican Washington SO cents.
In Republican Garrett SO cents.
In Republican Charles "a cents.
In Republican St. Mary's 1O1 cents.
Frederick is the lowest taxed of the Re-
publican counties, and the tax rate there Is
sirteen cents higher than in Carroll, whilst it
is titty-tlco cents higher in St. Marys, or more
than double what it is here. Do taxpayers
want change from Democratic to Republic
can rule?

Fhe Republican nominee for State Senator
recently approached Democrat, living near
this city, and solicited his vote. The Demo-
GRAFT replied that if Judge Bale would vote for
a Democrat for United States Senator, he
(the Democrat would vote for him. The
Republican candidate declined, and the Demo
Graf declined to vote for him. That was right
The Democrat had as much right to ask Judge
Bale to vote against his party and its princi-
plies, as Judge Bale had to ask the Democrat
to vote against his party and its principles.
Judge Bale wont cut his own ticket, and he
will think much more of the Democrat who
refuses to vote for him than he will of, the
one who will vote direct against his princi-
pies and cast a ballot for him.

Farewell farewell dear father, farewell!
Thy days are all Ger and thou art gone.
Oh, how we do miss thee no tongue can tell;
But the time will soon come when with thee wen

Thou art gone to the grave its mansions forsaking
What though thy weak spirit in fear trembled
The sunshine of paradise beamed on thy wing.
And the sound which thou heard was the Ser
aphim's song.
To ripe old age thou was permitted to be with us,
But Jesus saw fit to call thee from us;
Thou hast answered the call thy Redeemer to meet,
In the mansions of heaven oh may we all meet

Speak naught of anguish or of fears;
We know thy peace and better rest
Where Jesus is can but be blest.

The Red Book for Maryland.


The D. & o. Red Book for Maryland is the latest
thing out by the enterprising home company, and
not a few people interested in such matters will de-
clare it the best. Certainly such elaboration of
Maryland political statistics ever before attempt
ed in any text book, and most commendable fea-
ture is the clearness with which the details are
shown. The Presidential vote of 1880 is eomparedby
counties and parties with the vote of 1876 with ma
orties losses and gains and interesting side notes
The same care is exhibited in showing results in
State and Congressional tickets while the recent
judicial election in Baltimore is figured out to the
minutest details. The vote Democratic and indie
pendent is shown by wards and precincts, and is
compared with the Congressional vote cast the same
year for Democratic and Republican candidates.

are also the special tables comparing the votes re

respective districts with the votes cast for other can

the Red Book also contains the complete member
ship of the new Congress, Senate andHouse, Govern

Importance of Carrying Ohio

The Importance of carrying Ohio was thus
spoken of by the Philadelphia Press, the
Republican organ of Pennsylvania, the day
before the election:
Much depends upon the result. Hereto
fore, when the Democrats have carried the
state they only captured here and there an
office and did not materially disturb the
Republicans in old Ohio.
If they win tomorrow they make clean
sweep. They secure the Supreme Court for
the first time since 1855, the auditor for the
first time in thirty years, and not only all the
State offices, but the Board of Public Works
and every board and charitable institution.
They also get more than this, for there is not
a Republican leader who DISCUSSES the fact
that Democratic success tomorrow means
the loss of the state in the presidential fight
of 1884

When the Democrats wrested the govern
ment of Baltimore from the Republicans in
1867, there was floating debt of over two
millions of dollars, the treasury was empty,
and city six per cent. stock sold below par.
There is now no floating debt, low rate of
taxation, four per cent. city bonds bring l12
and five per cents. sell at 100. In the whole
time since 1867, the city never lost a dollar,
except small amount through a dishonest
clerk, who was Immediately dismissed. When
the Republicans were driven out of power in
this county they left large debt here, also,
with not cent in the treasury and an over
drawn hank ACCOUNT.

McLane on Holten,

AtUpper Marlboro Hon. Robt. NJ. McLane
said the present candidate for Governor nom
mated by the Republican party had actually
secured a seat in the Senate of the State by
unseating the Senator elected by majority of
Howard county, and, as a Senator thus ille-
gally and corruptly seated, he signed the pc
tition in March, 1867, to the federal govern
ment to place Maryland under the domination
of military despotism. No parallel to this
outrage can be found in American history,
and no more infamous stain could have been
put upon the fair escutchon of the state, re,
nowned in all its history for its liberal and
tolerant policy.

Why They Were Beaten.
rom the Neic York S1nl :

From the Nelc York SIN:
The Republicans are giving many reasons
for their defeat in Ohio. Some charge it to
the confusion thrown into the canvass by the
liquor question. Not a few assert that it was
the shortage of the duty on wool that did the
mischief Others think that the Presidential
aspirations of John Sherman, and the intrigues
of Foster for seat in the Senate, were for
midable obstacles to success.
The Republicans fail to hit the real reason
for their disaster in Ohio. They were beaten
because the Republican party must go.

The Democrat who casts his ballot straight
this year, casts ballot to maintain Demo
cratic supremacy in Carroll and in the state,
and casts ballot for Democratic United
States Senator Not only this, which should
be sufficient to impel every Democrat to do
his full duty by working and voting for the
whole ticket. but straight vote in November
is a step towards electing Democratic Pres
ident in 1884. Vote the ticket straight.

The Office of States Attorney is one of the
most important the people have to fill. He
is the prosecutor of law breakers, and the
protector of the public. He represents the
people, and sees that those who steal your
horses, set fire to your barns, rob your dwell
lings and assault your wives and daughters
are brought to justice. He is the peoples
law officer, the attorney general for the coun-
ty, and should be learned in the law and a
lawyer of experience. He should be no mere
beginner without experience. Such lawyer
is D. N. Henning, the Democratic nominee.

assets. The Democratic candidates for Coun-
