Presidential Conventions.

The national committee of the
Democratic party has selected st
Louis as the place of holding the
next Presidential nominating con-
vention, and June 9Th the day OF
meeting. The national Prohibition
convention will meet IN Indianaro-
lis on June 9th ami the Republican
convention in Chicago on June 18TH
1t is probable that this will comprise
the Presidential conventions, Henry
George and his followers having
wisely abandoned the luxury of a
presidential candidate. There is one
presidential ticket already in the
field of the Industrial class. in whick
Mrs. Lockwood appears to be large :
ly interested.
Late developments appear to
make it as near a certainty as any
event in the future can be. that
Blaine will not be candidate under
any consideration.
The Prohibitionists appear great
ly more active than ever before and
are organizing in every direction
with more energy, determination
and method than they have ever
shown. Blaine having absolutely
retired from the candidacy, and the
Democratic party having placed it
self squarely in opposition to all
''sumptuary laws'-whicb in plain
English means prohibition-the lead
ers of the latter party confidentl,
expect to draw largely from the Re
publican vote and run their vote up
to not less than half million in the
presidential election.

Dem1gogery Defeats an Import
ant Movement.

The town of Elkton haying grown apace
finds its present charter, under which thu
corporation has dozed for probably CEN
fury, unsuited in its provision fer the prop
er government Of the town. A committee
Of citizens were appointed at public meet
ing held few days previous, composed OF
WI. Jones John s. Writ, Fra nix r.
Scott, George McQuilkin and Chas. NJ.
Ellis, M. D.. TO provide am .ndments TO the
charter.
Tnis committee reported at publ C
meeting held last week. The report con-
tanned the following clause:
'The qualifications of the voter shall be
the same as they now are except that he
or his wife must be the bonafde owner OF
real or personal property in the town as
sessei at not less than $500, and mu ST
have paid the taxes thereon for the year
preceding the election at which he offers to
vote"
The demagogue politicians charged into
this innovation with yell, and succeeded
in defeating it. This is saving clause
which should be incorporated into the
charter of every town and city in the
country. Such provision would go forth
er 10 break up the dens Of thieves, the
wholesale stealing and ballot box s,utfiug,
the crying evils of all our cities, than ny
article that could be incorporated into
their charters. It is through the irrespon-
sible rabble vote that all cities are Differed
by public plunderers and political knaves.
The floating population, which like the
stray dogs have neither home or master,
drift into the cities, and when these hords
have the privilege, the uurestrained priv
leGe, of voting the property of industrious
citizens away aud of voting demagogqes,

greed, in, 10 fill the offices ofthe corpora

bu, in riotous living. ia beer and whiskey
drinking, in buying votes, in corrupting
ballot boxes ,taud in carrying on warfare
against morality, honest government and
decent society. Our congressional and leg
islative halls are crammed, and often the
judges seats filled by this elemen, of frS nd,
incompetency, and a enemy to all that is
sacred and pure.
Any moral and public spirited poor man
ought to be and would be, willing to wave
this privilege of voting at corporation cleo
tions in order to shut out the vicious vote
which enters through the door that has
been nagnanimously opened to him, when
such waiver would not abridge any of his
political rights.
The persons that own the property that
Is taxed for corporation uses, should con-

rich and poor. The taxes under the con-

benefit. In irresponsible hands the half of
