REPUBLICANS READY.
THE FALL CAMPAIGN MAPPED OUT.

Col. Mullikin's AddreSS-iime Set Tor
the Primaries and OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
lions Adopted.
The Republican State Central Com
mittce met in Baltimore at noon on
Thursday last, in the parlors of the
Young Mems Republican Club. The
meeting was called to order by Col. ].
G.. Mullikin, of Talbot, the chairman,
Mr.. James +. Caulk occupying the
secretary's desk. Col. Mullikin said
"Gentlemen-For tho first time in the
history of the Republican party OF Mary
land, we meet under a Democratic nation
al administration. The defeat of last
fall, while it is, of course, a source of re-
greet, need not be a cause for discourage
ment. On the contrary, it ought t" drive
US closer together, and cause to entirely
disappear the animosities and iealonsies
of the past. Maryland is Republican.
We believe that many intelligent and
honest Democrats are tired of the me-
thods and bossism in the Democratic
party, and if We only stand shoulder to
shoulder and touch elbows, we have no
fears that in the near future the state
will be rescued from Democratic mis-
rule.
II thank you, gentlemen, for the
hearty support which you gave the party
and your chairman in the last campaign,
resulting, as it did, in Republican vote
four or live thousand larger than was
ever before cast in Maryland. And AS
matter of justice to all, desire to say
that whilst many from whom we had
right to expect hearty cooperation were
faithless to their obligations to their
party, that every member of this COM
mittee, whether he had been known i'll
the past as a Blaine man, and Arthur
man, an Edmonds man or Sherman
man, when the actual fight commenced
forgot his individual preference and re-
membered only that he was Republic
can, and gave a hearty and cordial sup
port to your chairman in his efforts for
the success of our cause in this state.

we'll received, and the effect was notice.
