Two NEW DEMOCRATIC DAILIEs.-The
Star is the title of new afternoon newspaper,
which appeared in Baltimore for the first
time last Saturday. In its salutation the edi.
tor says the Star will be "a thorough, uncom.
promising, unconditional, unmixed, straight
out, fearless paper, Democratic to the core"
1t proposes, also, to pay great attention to
local news. We wish it success.
The Baltimore Times last Monday made its
bow to the public as an afternoon daily. 1t
presents neat appearance, geographically,
and is bright, interesting and full of news.
Although but fedgling it is a remarkably
strong one, every column showing the marks
of editorial ability and experience. The Times
sets forth the principles by which it will be
guided, as follows:
at will be Democratic paper, loyal to the
party and supporting the administration of
President Grover Cleveland. 1t will stick up
for the rights of the common people, and will
support honest reform and no humbug 1t will,
however, always be mindful that It's chief bust
ness is the collection of the news of the day
with promptness and accuracy"

The Object of the Republicans.

The object of the fierce onslaught upon
the Democratic management of Hartford
county affairs by the Republican organ of the
county is apparent. The pretence that o
revolution in our county mattrs is needed in
the interest OF the taxpayers is shallow and
false The sole object sought to be attained
is to fill the county offices with Republicans
instead Of Democrats In pursuance of this
end facts have been ingeniously distorted !;
Democratic officials have been misrepresent.
ed and maligned, and the utilization has
stopped just short of a point where personal
responsibility would have been incurred.
The Republicans in Hartford county are in
a minority and except for the colored vote,
their ranks would be very thin indeed. The
colored vote may be expected TO be cast this
year, as heretofore, for the Republican ticket,
but to be successful more votes are needed,
and accordingly desperate effort is being
made to induce Democrats to vote for Re.
publican candidates. They are told that the
county offices should not be filled by par.
tisans and yet the Republican ticket is par
tisan throughout Every candidate on it is
Republican and if elected would do all in
his power to keep Democrats out of office.
Our county affairs are not in such condi
ton as to require the desperate remedy of
political revolution. If any reforms are
needed they can be instituted and carried out
by Democratic County Commission ers as
well as by Republicans.
The country has expressed its opinion of
Republican principles and Republican
methods of administration by electing Grover
Cleveland President of the United States
and it would be very strange indeed if the
Democrats of Hartford county should now
aid in defeating their own party by voting for
any of the Republican candidates.

The British Ally In the soudan.

The mudir of Dongola is one Of those
able and successful soldiers Of fortune
who have always been abundant in the
East. Born of Circassian parents, he,
like his great predecessor, Mehemet Ali,
began his career rs slave, and fought
his way up to almost uncontrolled power
by the same personal ability and un.
scrupulous determination. Still only
forty-three, though looking much older,
he is new one of the leading potentates
OF the Soudan, and England's stanchest
ally in her recent difficulties, which
would have become quite insurmount
able had the Mudir yielded Dongola to the
Madhi's tempting offers six months ago.
The first impression of his large jawed,
hook nosed, high checked face, with its
struggling black beard, and his mounte.
bank dress of orange. colored turban and
flannel coat, loose linen trousers, and

tractive. But no one who has seen him
transact business can doubt that he Is

Improvement,

Gen. Grant Shows Further Signs of
Improvement,
The Grant family, including the General
himself, seem to have fully emerged from the
dark cloud OF anxiety under which they have
for so many weeks been resting Cheerfulness
and hope shines on every face as the members
of the household assemble at the breakfast
table. The General has sound and refreshing
sleep without the use OF morphine, and its
beneficial effects are so obvious in his spirits
and improved strength, that they tell their
own story without the aid OF official bulletins.
DR.. Shrady said that if the General continued
TO improve, he would soon be able to drive in
the park again. 1t would be premature, DR.,
Shrady said, to say that the General was out of
danger. He felt very hopeful of the future
Senator Chaifee said that when last he saw
the generals throat it had materially changed
its appearance. All the jagged edges and the
stuff that gathered in his throat and choked
him had disappeared,
Gen. Grant agrees with Senator Chaffee in
thinking that his disease may be only an
liberated sore throat.
Col. Beattie called at the house, and the
general talked animatedly with him about the
old war times, inquring after great number
of his companons-in-arnls.
