AT the recent county elections on
prohibition good many localoption
precincts voted against county prohi-
billion. Since that election o good
mauy precincts have &C opted local OPP
ton. AL this goes 10 prove that the
people consider that there is a vast dir
ference between local option and pro-
hibis,on. Local option was never in
tended as an adjunct TO prohibition,
and every effort to use it as such has
failed. Tho people have rebuked
every attempt to use local option for
any other purpose than reasonable
police regulation.

Death of Hon. Richard 4. Merrick at WASH
inston-Hls wife and Daughter Lying
Dangerously Ill.
Richard T. Merrick, who has been lying
i'll for some days past, died at l0;30 this
morning. He was ffty-seven years of
age, and came from q well-known Mary
land family. When the war with Mexico
broke out Mr.. Merrick raised company
and did gallant service during the war.
Before the conclusion OF the war, he
began the practice of law. He was also
sent to the State Legislature. Shortly
before the late war he went to Chcago,
and formed copartnership with lead
ing member of the bar OF that city. He
was Il delegate from Illinois TO the Dem
cratic National Convention of 1860, and
supported Stephen A. Douglas. In 1864
he removed from Chicago to Washington.
During the twenty years he practiced in
Washington he held an eminent place at
the bar, and has been engaged in some of
the most important cases before the
Supreme Court of the United States. He
was one of the principal counsel before
the Electoral Commission, and in recent
years was before the public in the prose-
cution of the Star-route cases. He al
ways maintained controlling influence
in the politics of Maryland, while his ex-
tended acquaintance with public men
gave him prominence in National politics.
Mrs. Merrick is very iii. She has been
suffering the most eAcruciating pain from
assesses in both ears, and was sent
away from home, as it was thought that
her presence as witness OF the suffer
ing of her husband might cnlanger her
life. One of the daughters is in Phila-
delphia under treatment for spinal
trouble; another has a severe nervous
complaint, watch, aggravated by her
fathers illness, has rendered her tenn
porarily blind.

THE PRESIDENT

Trying to Harmonic the Democratic Fac
tons In New York Before Distributing Of
fetal Patronage-The Future of the Par
ty the Controlling InGuence-It Is Har-
mOny or Defeat.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 24.-The
Star last evening published the following
respecting the political situation in New
York State, and the delay of the Presl-
dent IL making appointments in that
State;
"TYle President is said to be giving
thorough attention to the situation of
political affairs in New York. Though
the subject has been frequently discussed
between him and Secretary Manning,
nothing as vet has been definitely settled
concerning the New York appointments.
The President is said to feel that the
future of the party depends upon their
course in New York this fall, and in order
to do this all differences must be settled
and the party thoroughly harmonized.
The great danger to he averted Is fac
tional fight over the Federal patron
age in the State, which fight
will be carried into the conven-
ton, finally having a grand burst
up, and giving the State to the Republic
cans. The President is giving much
thought, it is said, to the question as
to how he is to guide the party into the
right channel, without getting involved
himself in any entanglements with the
factions. His policy will be not to es-
pouse the cause of any particular
individuals or factions, but to appeal
20 the party loyalty to be united In
| their actions, each to make such sacri-
fees as may be necessary at this time
to enable them to get a irmer hold.
His advice is that they first get the
pie in a safe place before they begin
to talk about the division, for if they
don't the enemy will come in and carry
| it off while they have each other by
the ears. The delay about the appoint
ments in the State is occasioned by the
fact that the policy adopted is to look
very closely into the records of the can
ddates recommended by the different
factions, considering both the suitability
of the appointment and the effectit would
have upon the party. The idea is, after
a careful investigation, to select the very
best men, regardless of faction, and to
present them to the various local
leaders, together with the reasons
for selecting them, and to attempt
by candid argument to show that tn Sc
lections were made with regard to the best
interests of the whole party. Those who
are disappointed will then be appealed to
and urged to lay aside their personal
feelings and to assist in strengthening
the party's hold on power.
Meanwhile Mr. Manning is doing all in
his power toward this end, and the New
Workers with whom he has surrounded
himself here will exercise their active in-
duence on home affairs"
