IS THERE NO SAUL IN ISRAEL?

Messrs. Editors Political meetings, called to
ratfy the nomination, of candidates, are supposed
to be for the purpose of giving expression to the
popular feelings of the place aohere called, and to
voice the sentiments of the community by the
utterances of those taken from its midst, and who
know them best Such, at least, is the course
usually followed by both the great political par
ties of the day, in the various meetings held
throughout the country since the recent nominal
tions, as well as before. But the Democracy of
the Cleveland and Hendricks club of Towsontown
has made new departure. They held their
ratification meeting, So called, on the 23d, but
among the distinguished gentlemen who enter
tanned the Democracy on that occasion we failed
to observe any one who represents this community.
Towsontown it is well known, is not supposed
to be deficient in the way of oratory, and we have
among our residents Judges and ex-Judges of our
Circuit Court members of both branches Of the
Legislature; a goodly number of lawyers, and
several intelligent citizens who belong to the
Democratic fold and who are supposed to be in
some measure representative men. How was it,
that not one of them was heard from, and the
voice of Baltimore county had to be expressed
through gentlemen hailing from other Congress
sional districts? 1t looks queer. Is there no
heart in the matter? Are our friends lukewarm
towards their candidates Did the want of home
speakers arise from the fact that there is no Saul
in Israel or are we all Sauls and all Prophets

Messrs. Editors Now that the smoke and bad
smell of the last political convention has blown
over, and the country is about to witness can
vass for another head of the Nation, it will be we'll
for the tolers of this country to brush up and
their good common sense in deciding who shall
fill the place. 1t may be difficult matter to de-
eide with SO many conflicting interests and state
ments, but heretofore when questions of vital i'm
portance to home or foreign interests up, the
bone and muscle, which is the actual wealth of the
Nation, always and will be in fair contest on the
right side. This country is big concern and
wants head accordingly-one with brains of
his own, that cannot be swayed to and fro by cor
porations or capitalists, who, when they have
man they can't work to their satisfaction, turn on
their own party and take up one of an opposing
party that has been tried and found to suit their
purpose. But they will find that the dear people
will have something to say about it, and that they
have found out what kind of man they want,
and have also found the man in James G. Blaine,
one who will make President that will be equal
to all occasions. FIRST DISTRICT REPUBLICAN.

Democracy and Economy.

baltimore Herald.
The Democratic party charges the Republicans
with having squandered the revenues of the coup-
try, and the everlasting wall of its leaders is
economy. Here is the record Of this great party
of economy:
When Van Buren, Dem became President the
public debt was S3,30S, l2407. When he retired
it was Sl3, 1914, 4S0.75.
Under the administration of Polk (Dem.) it in
creased to 1858, 061, $500.
Buchanan (Dem.) ran the amount up to $780,
5S0,s73.72.
In putting down the Democratic war of rebel
lion the debt was increased to $2,773, 236,173.
In President Johnson's term it was reduced to
$2,5SS, ASP, 214.~
Under Grant it was reduced to s., 205 ,301 1892.
Under Hayes it went down to S2,O69, 013,570.
On the Both of June last it was $1,S42, $3.50, 103,
with sufficient cash in the Treasury to reduce the
liabilities to 81 ,450, 05O,235.
During all the years in which the Republican
party has been reducing the public debt it has so
shaped the affairs of the Nation as to bring to it
prosperity unequaled in the history of the world.

Very Bad for Cleveland.

dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, dated July
goth, says: civilian j. Gleason, chairman of the
county Central Democratic Committee, and for
years prominent leader in the party, is now one
of the strongest of Blaine men. His position in
the committee has thus far put seal upon his
lips, but he has called meeting of the committee
ana prepared letter tandarinr his Indignation
and setting forth why he refuses to support Cleve-
land and will support Blaine. He says three
fourths of the Irish-Amercan citizens in the
United States will support Blaine. A lifelong
experience in politics has given Mr.. Gleason an
understanding that enables him to talk with
knowledge and when he states positively that
Cleveland will be the most dsastrously defeated
candidate the Democratic party has ever put at
the head of their ticket his statement carries with
it great weight. He has received letters from
leading Irish citizens in all the States in the Union
who express sentiments in accordance with his
own"

@S~The Democrats are having considerable
trouble with Ben Butler just now. The willy old
stager appears to be unwilling to let them know
exactly where he stands, and until he does there
will be much uneasiness in the Democratic camp.
Ben is now weighted with two or three nomina-
tons and claims to have behind him 1900, 900
votes. This claim may be erroneous and there
may be some truth in it, and it is the latter posi-
bility that is giving the Democrats SO much trou-
Bile. Butler wants to make the best possible bar
gain for himself and the most gittering bait will
catch him.

city on Tuesday. About four hundred men were
present, very large majority of them being
from that city and Brooklyn, although it was
claimed that number of states were represented.
An Englishman and free-trader presided and
Gawge William Curtis and Carl Schurz bossed
the job. The conference" proved fzzle of the
weakest kind, the work having all been cut and
dried before it met which latter proves that these

everything is as it should be yet But that step
was essential to the rectifcation Of evils conse.
quent on an evil system. Starting at three mil
lions, we are now fifty seven millions. We are in
position to demand what is right, and to do and
to submit to no wrong. Our policy ought to be
established on lines consistent with the under
lying principle of the Declaration of Independence.
In other words, our policy ought to be American.
Such a policy implies protection to American

but has nothing to say for the tail of the ticket
Perhaps this is fortunate for Hendricks, who can't
have very good opinion of either Curtis or the

they picked him to pieces in 1876. But how can
Curtis support Cleveland without at the same time
boosting Hendricks? This is something we should
