When the people of the United States
in November, 1884, voted to put the Re
publicans out and the Democrats into
power in the National Government, mol
did they mean to have the change limited
to The President, the Cabinet, and the
most prominent places in the public ser
vice, or was it their wish to bring about q
more radical and thoroughgoing reform
by putting in new men generally
1t seems 10 US that they wanted to lea
ven the whole lump with Democracy.
We are unable to see why Democrat
who seeks a small office should be charac-
terized as an impudent spokesman any
more than a Democrat who seeks great
office; or why either of them should be
subjected to this reproachful appel!ation
The Democrats want the offices because
they think they can serve the public bet.
ter than the Republicans
If they can, they should have the Offices
If not the Republicans should be permit
ted to keep them.
There is nothing in this notion at all
inconsistent with the frequen ly expressed
idea of President Cleveland that public
office is public truss"
All that the Democracy asks is that
whenever new trustee is to be appointed,
a Democrat shall have the opportunity to
prove that he will make more competent
and faithful trustee than any republican
that can be selected, or than any Mug

The Baltimore city municipal election
took place Wednesday, and after an ex-
ceptionaly severe struggle Mr. Jas Hold
ges the democratic candidate for mayor.
was elected by 2,2S3 majority. Thirteen
of the regular democratic nominees for
the first branch and six for the second
branch of the city council! were successful
The iusionists elected eight republican.
and three democrats. The total vote for
mayor WAS 80 ,567, against G3, 335 in the
presidential election last year While the
interest in the contest was intense, il was
one OF the quietest election Il VS. ever seen
Both sides in the contest put forward their
best efforts The democrats, it ia alleged.
were not only confronted with the fusion
party, including the independent demo
Gratis and the republican organization. but
they also had to meet the detection of the
so called Slater faction in East B .ltimor-.
or of that portion of this faction which
could be Influenced to combine with the
fusionists. This detection in the wards
from the first to the eighth decreased Mr.
Hodges vote and correspondingly added
to the vote for Judge Brown. The extent
to which this effort to defeat Mr.. Hodges
by democratic faction would extend was
one of the uncertain elements in the con
test. TIE vote for Mr.. Hodges was 30, 925,
and for Judge Brown 2S.642

Vote Our Legislative Ticket.

The next Legislature will elect Gov.
ernor in piece OF Governor Lloyd, to serve
out the unexpired term for which Govern
or McLane was elected: United States
Baltimore city; it will decide as to calling
a constitutional Convention in 1887: as
to a reas.essment of the taxable property
of the State, and many other matters OF
vital importance to the taxpayers. In
order that the wise and conservative pol
icy pursued by this Democracy II our State
may continue to be snjsyad ~ our people
it is all important that the Legislature to
mould such policy should be Democratic
in both branches. We have our enemy on
the hip here and it only require. dstermin
ed, active and united stroke on Tuesday
next to enable the Democrats of Charles
county to have voice in shaping the pol
icy of the State through the next Legisla-
ture. Voters Should remember that the
loss or gain of single delegata is not I.
matter affecting Il =. people of our county
alone, but OF the whole State No consid-
GRAFTON should induce Democrat to slack
en- his efforts TO cect every delegate or
the ticket; or induce him to tolerate for =
moment the idea that he can safely or fairly
from any cause, vote for candidate OF
the opposite party. Hesitation in this
matter may cause him years of regret, when
too late. We have splendid legislative
ticket, and every Democrst owes il to him
self and his party, to work, earnestly rork,
until 6 o'clock on Tuesday next for the
election of Ede!en. Chapman, Sssscer and

It may be well to advise candidates and
their friends that on or before election day
reports will be brought to them of the I'M
faithfulness of the other candidates and
their friends, the object being to get up
suspicion and warfare within our party.
This and other equally unfounded and I'M
truthful reports have already been circu-
lated by willy and INSCRIPTIONS enemy
for the purpose of creating discord and
destroying the admirable unanimity which
now prevails among tie candidates and
in the party. No trick is lett untried and
our enemy is deferred by no obstacle to
bolster up their weakening cause. Be on
the alert, friends, and let no such untruth-
full and transparent reports affect you in
your earnest work for the WHOLE ticket.
We are sure that every candidate upon the
Democratic ticket is earnest in support of
tho whole ticket, and any Democrat acting
upon any other idea will find after the
election is over how grieyously he has
been duped.

False Excuse

Our republican friends have been en-
deavoring in the canvass - excuse tbs
present high, and ever increasing rate Of
taxation in thj. county log saying thu: the
ratio OF taxation in the couoty has at enc
time heretofore been higher than at pre-.

cess of what i is At present; but il is q
fact also. that in the year 1871, when the
bad local domination commenced its cas-.
ofp5wer, the county :.ts had b.sa brought
down to 90 cents and was steadily de
creasing. Now in 1871, ninety-si1 cent.
was equal in value and purchasing c,pa-
city 70 about 60 or 20 cents 1T p esent.
Therefore it is ttir 10 assume that under
the same economical management the
county rate would now be little, If any, in
excess Of 20 cans, rs ag4ins. 100 cents as
the rate now stands, or los cents as it
would be If an honest levy had been made
to meet the present heavy expenses of the
county. These facts cannot be overlook ed

We were panied to see some very
spiteful remarks about Hon. Polk
Lafloon in the last issue of the Hen
derson Journal, of which the follow
ing comment on letter written by
him as sample:
"Lafl0On doubtless thinks that by
the use of such silly wit that he is
thereby paving his way to a second
election, but the sly fox is mistaken.
Laffoon is serving his first and only
term in the Congress of the United
States, mark that. A large majority
of the voters of the district will know
his size before many clouds shall roll
by, and when fully found out it may
fit a County Magistrates chair but
none larger"
This sort of stabbing in the back
shows that venom rankles in the
heart of the editor of the journal, no
doubt because Mr.. Laffoon found it
necessary to defeat Henderson OPP
ponent in order to become a Congress-
man. This is all wrong and can do
no possible good. The Journal knows
that Mr.. LaffQon was fairly nomi-
mated and elected and if he is the
choice of a majority of the Democrats
of the district it is certainly the duty
of the press of his party to give him
a chance to make record of some
kind before he is assaulted. Mr.. Laf-
foon has never taken his seat in Con-
gress, but his work outside of the
House has been very creditable to him
and very satisfactory to his constitu-
ency. He is making working mem
Der and no Kentucky member has
been more industrious or untiring in
looking after the interests of his peo-
pie than Mr.. Laffoon. Our Hender-
son contemporary should remember
that the next Congressional election
is more than a year off and for the
present wage war upon the common
enemy, as our Congressman is so eff
fectively doing.

The Henderson Journal says the
"loyal counties of the district will
send up deafening shout for Ellis"
when he announces himself for Con-
gress. If the Journal, which is now
engaged in throwing mud at the
Democratic representative of its dis
trict, represents the party loyalty of
its county, the shout that will be sent
up from Henderson for Mr.. Ellis
will not amount to an ordinary stage
whisper. 1t may be that "the hills
will swell out and the trees will
spread themselves for him." but UNI
less he takes the precaution to muz-
zle some OF his friends lie is not in
