Trouble in the Democratic Camp.

Frederick Citizen, Col. Baughman's Paper.
Among the names presented for
the position of Internal Revenue
Collector for the State of Maryland is
that of Mr.. r. ID. Johnson, we'll
known and respected citizen of our
sister city of Cumberland. Mr.. John
son has many warm friends in this
county and would find a hearty en-
d0rsement among our people. 1t is
exceedingly. unfortunate, however,
that blinded and selfish partisans in
Western Maryland should be so foot
ish as to make the appointment OF
Colonel Johnson what they call "A
test caSe"-in other words Mr.. John
son must be appointed simply to
show that Mr.Gurman and his friends
have not the entire control of the
Federal patronage in Maryland.
Why such an issue, and why select a
gentleman from Western Maryland
to bear the blunt of somebody else's
shOrt-sighted policy? This and other
appointments should be made
on the broad line of compe-
tency and deserving party recog-
milton. Mr.. German and his
friends might have been Just as anxi.
Gus to serve this gentleman as Mr.,
Hamilton and his friends, therefore
why should the heretofore selfcon
stituted leaders of Western Maryland
attempt again to divide our party
and make 1actiOnal fight in our
midst? Western Maryland has
strong claims for recognition from
President CleyeIand and will no
doubt be considered at the proper
time, but in the name of the young
men of Western Maryland, the new
blood of the Democratic party, we
protest against any man, or set of
men, bringing up such fight as they
appear to be doing in the case of Mr..
johnson. If the issue is to be Cor.
man or anti-Gorman, there can be
no choice in the fight, and as soon as
the time is ready for action the young
men are prepared to take their stand
We trust there can be no foundation
in the absurd statements made in
reference to this case.

The Democratic stumpers paraded
the country last fall and told the peo-
pie about there being S40O, 100000 in
the United States Treasury that had
been wrongfully wrested from the
people, and that this sum was being
added to at the rate of 500, 900, 900 an
nually. Now comes Secretary Man
ming, the U. S. Treasurer under the
new administration, who in his first
report says that the surplus amounts
to only S22,OOO,OOO. Who has lied

great difficulty and must rise higher.
The bulk of the wool sold is to East

spot. While carpet woods may pos
sibly find a way out of Russia, it
must he more costly, with war pre-
niums and additional Transportation
expenses. The prices made upon the
wool are private, but it is common
talk that low figures tempted the
buyers.
