S- Mr.. Blaine built at Washington a more
costly house (says an exchange) than he could
afford, the Democratic papers report with fierce
delight True, and being poorer man than he
expected to be, he has rented it; as Mr.. Phelps
stated in his letter some months ago, Mr.. Blaine
never was worth a quarter of a million, though
his investment in coal lands and in railroads
promised to return him larger sum. But he
never enriched himself by wrecking railroads, as
Mr.. Tiden did, nor by defrauding the Govern
ment of taxes due, and either of Mr.. Tiden's two
houses probably cost four times as much as the
one which Mr.. Blaine built in over-hopefulness,
and was unable to occupy. 1t is charged, too,
that Mr.. Blaine is richer man than Mr.. Cleve-
land. That is true. In his brains Mr.. Blaine has
a capital which returns by the sale of one book
more money than Mr.. Cleveland ever earned in
his life.

3-J. T. c. Hopkins, Esq, of Belalr, once
had the nomination in the Democratic Congress
sional convention held here Wednesday, but
it was not intended that he should win and the
vote was changed before the tardy chairman,
who wanted to see DIR. Shaw win, announced the
result of the ballot. Baltimore county, being
called first, cast one vote for him (Mr. Cockey)
and then CeciPs five and Carroll's five gave him
eleven, which was majority of the convention,
but Baltimore county changed its one vote back
to Talbot before the ballot was announced, and
in this way Mr.. Hopkins was beaten. Had Har-
ford's choice had gentleman in the chair who
was favorable to him, the chances are hundred
to one that Hopkins would have been the nomi-
nee His friends were greatly chagrinned at the
sudden turn against their favorite, and not with
out just cause, we think.

I'm his speech before the Democratic coun-
ty convention on Monday, Mr.. Talbot said the
tariff was not an issue in this fight Mr.. Talbot
must place an exceedingly low estimate upon the
intelligence of his constituents when he under
takes to tell them such stuff as this. Hon. John
v. L. Findlay, Democratic Representative in
Congress from Baltimore city, and the only DEM
ocrat from Maryland who voted against the Car
Isle and Morrison bills. evidently don't agree
with Mr.. Talbot, who is simply playing the old
Democratic trick of trying to deceive the people,
who have had their eyes opened to the true inten-
ton of such men as Carlisle, Morrison, Curtis and
the Democratic party to-day simply because it is
the party of free-trade, and yet Mr.. Talbot has
the assurance to tell his constituents that the
tariff is not in this fight! People who can read
and have the ability to think for themselves
know that what Mr.. Talbot says is false.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE FAIR.

Besides the staple diversions which make fun
on the track at Timonium, the blindfold races,
the potato gatherings, the greasy pole and other
contests which promise good humor among the
lockers on if they do not seem to bring much
profit or glory to those engaging in them, there
will be this year bicycle parades and, perhaps,
races fox hunts, and other interesting sports.
A feature, widely diverse from anything here
tofore produced in the way of amusements at our
fair is the engagement of Miss Buckingham,
known as one of the most brilliant lady riders
living, who will each day reproduce, as far as it
can be done in the open air and without the see
merry and accessories of the theatre, the thrilling
"Ride of Mazeppa"-a dashing feat which has
caused thousands of hearts to beat as she takes
the character of the prisoner prince bound to the
bare back of the fiery steed, who, dashing of to
the mountain, makes a scene of realistic power
which has to be seen to be appreciated. Then
the return of the horse, jaded and worn, bearing
the exhausted prince
abound naked, bleeding and alone"
changes the scene and calls up pity in the place
of the wonder and fear which before filled the
spectators breasts.
Both Miss Buckingham and her noted horse
are consummate actors; perfect understanding
exists between them, and their joint efforts pro-
duce result sensational and thrilling in the
highest degree.

-Col VIM. Young, delegate from Hartford
in the Congressional convention held here on
Wednesday, was somewhat riled at the action of
that body towards Mr.. Hopkins, and in speech
stirred up the bile of some of the delegates and
spectators. One of the latter mounted chair
and wanted to know how many of the Hartford
delegation had voted for Mr.. Archer for Judge
two years ago. There was a scene of great con-
fusion for few minutes, but finally Col. Macgill
poured oil On the troubled waters and the out
break subsidized

g Senator German was in Baltimore Tues
day night and made the nomination for the Con-
gressional convention which met here on Wednes-
day morning. He selected DIR. Shaw, of Carroll
county, and majority of the delegates simply
ratified the plan laid down by him. Senator
nomination of Shaw was part of his scheme to
capture the prize. So, when Baltimore county
Democrats think they are voting for DR.. Shaw
they will in fact be voting to keep the Hon. Arthur
P. German in his present place in the U. S. Sen
ate. This is the secret of the whole business, and
future Developments will prove the tru.hfulness
of what we saw.

%Ey-Aaother batch of the "Mulligan letters
have been published IN the Democratic newspapers
of the country, in the hope that they may inhu-
ence the coming election in Ohio. corrospon-
dent of prominent newspaper called upon Mr..
Blaine and asked if he wished to say anything in
regard to these letters, when Mr.. Blaine replied
that his only desire that every voter in the
United States might read the letters for himself,
and not form his Judgment from editorial misrep-
reservations in partisan journals. There was not
a word in the letters, he added, which was not
entirely consistent with the most scrupulous in
tegrity and honor. He hoped that every Repub-
lican paper in the United States would publish
the letters in full.

@1-A Georgia paper, the Athens Banner,
complains that fox hunting is now one of the lost
arts in that State, as there no dogs, no foxes
and no hunters. The last gentleman who cult
waited this sport died several years ago. sim
gular fact, vouched for by the Banner as one ac-
credited by all hunters, is that if the hunting of
foxes is discontinued they viii leave the country
and stay away until new generation comes to
raise dogs. This theory, it may be added, is con-
irmed by the observation of an English natural
list, who says that foxes enjoy being hunted so
much that they have been known, in the ecstacy
Of pleasure, to turn from the track while pursued

@a-I In his speech before the county convention
on Monday, Judge Grason mentioned the names
of the men who urged him to become candidate
for Congress against Mr.. Talbot, among them be-
ing Lewis M. Bacon and William II. Ruby. The
former was honorable enough, after urging the
Judge to run, to go to work and do what he could
for him, but the latter (the member from the 18th
district), what did he do? Nothing! He not
only failed to turn his hand for the Judge, but
after the primary was over (if we are correctly in
formed) claimed that he had voted for Mr.. Tai
bolt. Comment is unnecessary.

Mg-The editor of the Journals choice spirit.
Although he has lived good many years in a
respectable community he docs not appear to
have learned anything from observation, and
with an utter disregard of the propretes of life,
in order to strike an enemy, be willfuy drags the
name of an honored gentleman into public, and in
attempting to correct another, himself errs in such
a manner as to make himself utterly ridiculous.
If this would be Samson of the Baltimore county
press would eschew politics and keep his nose out
of social matters that not legitimate subjects
for newspaper discussion, people might manage
to endure him.

G3-In the Democratic primaries last Saturday
one of the active workers against Mr.. Talbot
and who will be candidate for Office next fall
urged people to vote the Grason ticket by telling
them if Talbot won his chances for a nomination
next fall would all be knocked in the head. So
this proves exactly what The UNION said last
week, viz, that the Court House clique was sim
ply using Judge Grason's name as blind to fur
Their their own personal ends. Democratic voters
are convinced of this and they will settle their
count with the Court House ring next fall.

rs Tho New York Sun, (Dem.) referring to
the election in Maine says "there has been an ex-
traordinary Republican gain at the expense of the
Democracy. The drift of the silent vote, about
which we hear so much, has not been from the
Republican candidate to the Democratic. The
movement is altogether away from Cleveland and
toward Blaine. It is very striking fact"

rs Mr.. Talbot says the tariff is not in this
fight, but it quite evident the Louisville Courier
Journal one of the leading Democratic newspa-
pers of the country, and Mr.. Talbot don't agree
on this important point. That paper says "Men
who favor continuance of protection will vote for
Butler or for Blaine; the only hope for electing
Cleveland is in getting for him the votes of those
not be lodged in this campaign. 1t ought to be
put to the front and the fight made on tho line
laid down by Mr.. Morrison. If an attempt is
again made to change front in the face of the
enemy, the results may again prove disastrous"

lss- U. S. District Attorney Tenney, of Brook
Ign, N. Y, upon being interviewed by reporter
on his return from England said: 81 have not seen
an Englishman nor an English newspaper that
did not favor the election of Cleveland. Not one.
They frankly tell you that they favor the success Of
the Democratic ticket because they oont Free Trade
in the United States and their only hope for this
is through the election of Mr.. Cleveland. They
do not want Mr.. Blaine elected because he is too
much of Protectionist, is too thorough an Amer
lean, and if elected will enforce too strong an
American policy for the interest of England"

MS-Dr. Shaw knew on Tuesday night that the
convention which met here ON Wednesday would
nominate him for Congress. The best evidence
of this fact is that after his nomination he got up
dread his speech from manuscript. Isitnot plain,
therefore, that the whole business was cut and
dried? That speech of DR.. Shaw's was written at
at Barnum's Hotel, Tuesday night. Senator

tariff is not an issue in this campaign, and see
what their answer will be. We know of one gen.
tleman, lifelong Democrat and the president of
one of the largest manufacturing companies in
Maryland, who will cast his first Republican vote
this fall because the tariff is issue in the
paign. We know of many other Democratic bus
mess men who will do the same thing for the
same reason, and yet Mr.. Talbot has the gall to

IS The letter of acceptance of Col. T. G. Blair,
Republican nominee for Congress in this district
is published to-day. 1t is manly, straightfor-

to see from thoroughly practical man like Col.
Blair, and it will be certain to gain votes for him.
1t should be widely circulated.

America, last week. The authorities threw every

N1-T The result of the Democratic convention
in this place last Wednesday was slight set
back to the aspirations of Gov. McLane. The
Governor wants to keep Mr.. Germans seat warm
in the U. S. Senate, but Mr.. German thinks he
has ability enough to do that very nicely him
self. Therefore he is anxious that Gov. McLanc
should keep right along grazing Annapolis with
his presence until he fills his four years term,
after which he will be quietly relegated to private
life. The ways of the politicians past finding

would be an unerring index of q Blaine tide, and

reaches nearly 1,O00 This is the largest major

talk about the dissolution of the Republican
party, says: $50 far from being in the throes of
dissolution, it will be found that the Republican
party, when Blaine is elected, will take new

are coming up, and which are not yet formulated,
