Tammany Ratlfles the Ticket.

A meeting of Tammany Hall Society was
held in New York, last Friday night, to de.
eide whether or not the organization should
endorse Cleveland and Hendricks
An address was read, which declares that
Tammany, the Oldest political organization
in the United States, following the uniform
and unbroken record of its organization, &C
quiesces in the will of the majority of the
Democratic party, the only alternative left
being to sever its connection with the Demo-
cratic party, which the address declares they
cannot and will not do. The address says:
ave say, with John Adams, that there is no
good government but what is republican, for a
republic is an empire of laws and not of men,
The mistakes OF men cannot blind us to the
beauties and immortal principles of the Demo-
cratic party and for the perpetuation of these
principles our organization was established
Under the Democratic party the citizen is pro-
tected at home and abroad, and the speedy re-
lease OF Martin Koszta is an instance to show
with what celebrity the protection of the United
States was thi own around the citizen under u
Democratic administration and Secretary of
State like William L. Marcy as compared with
the doubling and halting policy of Republican
Secretary of State, James G. Blaine, during the
Presidency of Garfield, in allowing McSw seney
and other adopted citizens of the United States,
against whom no charges were alleged or
proven, to linger in British dungeon. We be-
lieye in the Democratic party and its immortal
principles. Men make mistakes its representa-
tves and leaders may be inconsistent, time
serving and lack the strength of their convic-
lions, but in 1t are liberty to be found, freedom
of thought, freedom of speech and action and
protection to every citizen aiike.'
A resolution was then presented endorsing
the nomination of Cleveland and Hendricks,
and pledging Tammany to their earnest and
cordial support Several speeches were
made in favor of the resolution and only one,
by Senator Grady, in opposition to it. On
the call of the roll $40 voted for the resolution
and only 81 against it,

IN MEMORY OF

IN MEMORY OF
MRS. MARGARET SCULLY,
who died at Ter residence, near Magnolia. on
Sunday, September Z, aged ~ years. : :"
The sunshine of home hath fled,
For fond mother lies cold and dead:
The pale, pure brow like marble CLEANS
The eyes are closed but not in dreams.
Alas what world of hope lies hid
Forever meath that casket lidl
Those lashcs fair shall err unclose
On earth to charm away our woes.
Now pulseless on the peaceful breast.
Those willing hands lie at rest;
Those tranquil lips, will they not ope,
Once more to thrill our hearts with hope.
All, mol to heaven alone we turn, A
The prize is there for which we yearn:
The Golden Cross. she won, she wore
Has crown'd her brow forever more.

DIR. Frank L. Shaw Nominated for Con-
greSS.

The Democrrtc convention of the second
town, on Wednesday, on the ninth ballot
nominated DR.. Frank T. SLaw, of Carroll
county, for Congress
The candidates voted for in the last con-
vention were again presented by their respect
i've counties and each received the vote of
his county for four successive ballots. On
the fifth ballot Hartford and Carroll voted for
Shaw, giving him ten votes one less than a
majority. On the sixth ballot Mr.. VIM. S.
Keech, of Baltimore county, voted for Hop
kins, which was followed by five more votes
for Hopkins from Carroll county and five
from Hartford, giving Mr.. Hopkins the eleven
votes necessary to nominate him. Before the
chairman announced the vote, however, Mr..
Keech showed that his vote for Hopkins was
merely feeler and changed his vote back to
Talbot, thus dashing the hopes of Hartford
to the ground. On this ballot Mr.. Constable
also received one vote from Baltimore coun-
ty, the remainder being cast for Talbot.
On the ninth ballot Baltimore county,
which voted first, cast her six votes for Shaw
Carroll followed with her five votes also for
Shaw. Cecil, which had chung to Mr.. Con-
stable, up to this time, attempted to create q
diversion by casting her four votes for Tai
bot. The Baltimore county delegates, how
ever, could not be induced to change from
Shaw, and he was declared nominated. The
Hartford delegates on the final ballot cast five
blanks

Injunction Suits Against the Baltimore
and Ohio.

BY reference to our local columns 1t will
be seen that the County Commissioners have
instructed their counsel to file bills of in
junction to compel the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company to remove distractions
placed by them in certain of our public roads.
Writs have been served upon the company
and Judge Waters has named the 22d OF Sep.
TENDER for hearing the case. The taxpayers
ofHarford county will unhesitalingly sustain
the board of Commissioners In their efforts to
protect our public highways from the en-.
croachments of corporations or of private
individuals. Corporations undoubtedly
have rights and they should be protect.
ed in the exercise of those rights, but it
has been found by experience that they are
invariably disposed to proceed with regard
only to their own interests and convenience
and without reference TO the interests of the
public. We therefore hope the Commission
ers will press these suits with the utmost
vigor, and compel the Baltimore and Ohio
and every other corporation using our county
as highway TO be careful not to encroach
upon the rights of our citizens.

A large majority of the Democrats of Har-
ford county earnestly desired the nomination
of MIR. Hopkins, for two reasons: first, that
the nomination, by courtesy, was due to our
county, and secondly, that Mr.. Hopkins was,
in all respects, an unexceptionable candidate,
who would, if nominated, command the en-
tire Democratic vote of the district. Mr..
Hopkins friends are, therefore, disappointed
at the result, but the Democrats of Hartford
are true to the principles of their party and
will support, earnestly and heartily, the can
ddate chosen by a majority of the conven-
ton. To do otherwise would be to forfeit
their claims to the respect of their fellow
Democrats in the district.
Dr. Shaw, VIC are assured by those who
know him best, will prove to be an able bear
er of the Democratic standard. He is an
earnest, tried and true Democrat, atfable and
courteous in his manners attentive and faith
full to every duty imposed upon him; of un
blemished public and private character, and
ready and fluent speaker. No Democrat
need hesitate 10 vote for him. His public
iSCoiu III ohO pooiblOuS hC uuS lICU
is a guarantee that he will make faithful
representative in Congress.
Besides all this, it is important that this
district should be represented by a Democrat
From the present outlook, the Democrats
are on the eve of once more being placed in
control of the destinies of this country, by
the election of Cleveland and Hendricks
Their election will mean reform and purif-
cation of the government. President Cleye.
land will be powerless to accomplish any
real, permanent good except with the aid of
Democratic Congress. Every true Demo.
crat who may be sent 10 Congress will be
an aid to him in in the great work to which
the Democratic party are pledged if he is
elected. Therefore, it is the bounden duty of
every Democrat in this Congressional dis
trict and of every man who desires to see
cur government restored to its once proud
estate, to aid in the election of DR.. Shaw.
DIR. Shaw, the nominee, was born at Woods
boro', Frederick county, Md, October 7,
1881, and was educated at Woodsboro' Acad-
envy, and graduated in medicine at the Uni.
versity of Maryland in 1854. Hewas elected
clerk of the Circuit Court for Carroll county
in 1878, and reelected in 1870, and is the
present incumbent. He is also one of the
managers of the House of Correction, and
also one of the directors Of the Union Ma
tional Bank at Westminster. Dr. Shaw was
nominated for Congress in 1882, but declined.
He is son ofFrancis Shaw, Esq, and has
always been identified with the party.
During Republican misrule at Washington
this congressional district has been fortunate
enough to be ably and faithfully represented
for the past six years by Baltimo.e countys
favoritc son, Hon. ]. F. G. Talbot. His abli-
ty and usefulness are fully appreciated by the
people of the entire district, and in his retire.
ment from the field at this time he bears with
him the respect and confidence of his fellow
citizens.
