ES-Budd Dobe, the turfman, was gratifed to
q high degree when he visited Goldsmith Maid in
Trenton, the other day. "Did she know me p"
said Mr.. Doble. "Bless your soul, the minute
entered her stall she came up to me and rubbed
her head against my arm and face. She neighed
and frisked around the stall like colt and did
everything but speak. You remember, she had
an unusually long tall 1 used to teach her to lie

have laughed to seS her turn round and round
and switch her tail about until it was just so and

straw" When it is known that a good many
years have passed since this noted mare was re-
tired from the turf, the recognition of her old
trainer and driver is a very remarkable circum-
stance

THE MANTLE DON'T FIT McLANE.

The Governor of the State has been reported as
having said that he neither wanted any partner
ship whatever with the Republican party nor de-
sired the confidence of the Republican press OF the
State. Indeed he would mistrust himself if he
thought be possessed the latter. Mr. McLane was
no doubt seeking to serve double purpose in his
broad assertions. He knows very well that there
is large and influential elementin the Democratic
party of the State who have become so deeply i'm
pregnated with the principles of genuine reform
in State affairs to disbelieye that their Cover
corrupt faction Oh the party from when NJ CAME,
were substantial grounds for their disbelief. Re-
form in Mr.. McLanes eyes savored too much OF
leaning toward Republican aims and objects for
him to have anything to do with it. Ruin and
desolation would be to him more desirable re-
suit under Democratic methods and practices than
prosperity and success, if accomplished with
little Republican leaven in the Democratic lump.
Besides, if he showed any bias toward reform it
would be an acknowledgement that Gov. Hamil-
ton was right and had the people, irrespective of
party, with him in all the reforms instituted by
him. This would be a fatal blow to Mr.. McLane's
Senatorial ambitions, which must be warded off
at all hazards. To occupy Mr.. Germans seat in
the United States Senate Mr.. McLane believes he
must be partizan of partizans, and show no
quarter to any but the corrupt factionists of his
own party, the spoilsmen and the fossilized Bour-
bons.
But without Republican partnership or the con-
idence of the Republican press of the State he
has already been stranded high and dry with his
labor reforms, &C., by his own party, or rather by
the reform element in it. The Moses of the labor
ing man and mechanic and factory operative has
reached his city and viewed the Senatorial seat his
own ambition has promised him, but he must
politically die there, viewing the coveted prize
afar off.
Gov. Hamilton's reform mantle is much too
large for the diminutiye form Of Robert NJ. Nc
Lane, the present Governor of Maryland.

REPUBLICANS, TAKE WARNING.

The present strife between the factions OF the
Democracy of Baltimore city is full of grave and
suggestive admonition to the Republicans. The
invectives of the Chairman Of the Democratic Ex-
ecutiye Committee and the reeriminations OF the
Mayor have intensified the supporters OF each 70
that irreconcilibility which can eventuate only IN
serious detriment to the party itself. The active
cause eff the trouble resides simply in the decep-
ton that, of late years, has become the policy OF
professional politicians. Fair-dealing, truthful
ness and honest fulfllment of word and promise
have been relegated to the category of weaknesses
whilst treachery and studied discrimination un-
blushingIy usurp their place and function. But
"Oh what q tangled net we weave,

The conflict of falsehood and truth has newt
ably but one result-the exposure of the former
and the triumph of the latter. However secretly

Republicans, take warning. We have had
enough of pickering and double-dealing in the
mast Baltimore county Republicans nave SIP
ned this bitter draught to their disgust, and II
behooves the active leader and politician to deal
souarely and fairly with his fellows. We are en-
terine upon canvass involving Presidential
nomination. and under circumstances OF momen-
" depend the result. The principle of "availi-
bility" becomes a serious factor and one to &c
needed, because the nominee, as such, becomes
the representative Of principles which we desire
to yindicate by success. Be frank with your fell
lows. Tell them plainly of the necessity OF 'oin-
nina, in the next contest, and of practically, in
stead of sentimental prediction, as the great
and imperative duty of the hour.
We have before US eminent and distinguished
statesmen, one of whom will be selected at CHI
cago as our National standard-bearer. Theques-
tlon is, Who of them is most available Reduced
to a point, the query is simply this-which OF
them can carry the great State of New York,
without whose vote we cannot succeed, and with
Il are sure of success Just here is the rock that
divides and splits The man capable OF divestlng
himself of all preference and prejudice, and SUBJ
ordinating himself exclusively to party success
cannot fail to perceive the true policy and duty
of the crisis. Therefore be true to your country,
your party and your partisans, and speak your
convictions of policy frankly, in spite of the
Devil and his Democratic party.

MINORITY REPRESENTATION.

We last week made mention of the fact that Gov.
McLane refused-and still rcfuses-to give the
Republicans of Baltimore one member of the Board
of Election Supervisors for that city. He makes
very lame excuse for his arbitrary course in this
matter, and honest Democrats generally think he
makes great mistake, as by the appointment of
one Republican in this board of three there would
be semblance of disposition on the part of the
Executive to do the clean thing and to follow the
good example set by his predecessor, Gov. Hamil-
ton, by giving the Republicans one representa-
tive. The Hagerstown Mail, the leading Demo-
cratic newspaper of Western Maryland, comment
ing upon this action of the Governor, says:
ave very much regret to observe that Gov. Nc
Lane refuses to adopt the principle and policy of
having minority representation in Election Boards.
1t is not only the universally accepted policy of
this State, but of nearly every other well-goyerned
State in the Union. Gov. Hamilton made it his
rule of conduct to observe it in the appointment
of Election Supervisors of Baltimore, whose sole
duty it to make the judges and clerks of cleo
ton. In the high character of the registers he
appointed in the city and of the three gentlemen
constituting the Board of Supervisors he lifted the
Democratic party of the State out of the reproach
Iueu pbTpelTdleu anu LuaC brought IL 10 the
very brink of destruction. And now why should
step backward be taken? Why endanger the
return to the bad and objectionable practices of
the past? Why make it necessary to repeat the
struggles of the past to escape such d calamity
We did hope for better things. We had the right
to expect better things. 1t was the reformatory
spirit and the reformatory vote of the State united
with the hope and expectation they excited that
made Mr.. McLane the Governor of the State. 1t
&c To ah al hal c&s kocor =,
counsels will prevail and that higher methods will
obtain that recognition which not only the interests
of the State but the best interests of the party at
this exigency demand"
But all this good counsel of the Mail will go for
naught The present Governor will not lend an
ear to the reform element in his party and the
praiseworthy reforms inaugurated by Gov. Ham
ilton will not be countenanced by him. Well, the
Republicans can stand this if our Democratic
friends care.

opposed to city extension, remarked to us on
Monday that he was greatly surprised to find SO
many county men who were strongly in favor of
the scheme. If he had questioned as many peO-
pie on that subject we have within the past two
months he would have had no cause for surprise.
We firmly believe that two-thirds of the tax payers
of the county favor city extension.
