Don't ment.

Our neighbor the Independent is in
clined TO lamentation. 1t saws: "the
one thing they the local inpublcans
regret is that the TINES should with
evident glee show such pleasure be-
cause of its knowledge of the fact that
no Charles countian can get this i'm
portant position the Revenue office e;
for it is in direct contrast with the H.
dependent and the Republicans Of the
county,, who during the whole of
Cleveland's administration wished
that, as they had to be ont in the cold
Charles county Democrats could get
as many ofthe g Cd things rs possible "
If it will reflect a minute it will re-
member that the very provocation
which induced the TINES thus t. put
forth its we'll formed opinion in this
(not in glee, but in delelul sympathy
was our nelgh5or's persistent efforts
to prejudice the case of one county
man, Gen. Chapman, with the evident
hope (and with "ghoulish glee." too.
as it appeared to us) Of aiding in pre-
venting his confirmation by the SEN
ate, to which he is justly entitled by
every principle Of justice anl ir-
ness
First it published a miserable per-
vertcd statement by the Baltimore
american, written with the same par
pose, in regard to pretended irregu-
larities in the office, in the face of the
fact, which had been attested in the
public prints by the Commissioner OF
Internal Revenue, that the Baltimore
office stands among the hest in the
country, with its accounts always cor
rect to fraction of a cent. And then
it launched forth upon the appoint
ment of "Tipton Wells" by Gen Chap
man as another reason why he should
not be confirmed. While 1t is fact,
as we stated before, that no such per.
son as Upton Wells has ever been .ap.
pointed by Gen. Chapman, if the In.
dependent will merely r, fer to it's own
version of the testimony taken in
Anne Arundel county, it will see that
Upton Wells has not been implicated
in what has been alleged to have taken
place there.
We merely refer to these facts tc
show that our neighbor has not lived
up to the spirit Of county pride in be.
half of the political fortunes of Charlie.
county Democrats to which it now
dolefully claims title. But we pro.
test again that the reliable informa.
ton which We confidentially commu.
nicated was not given in spirit OF
glee, but of sorrowful sympathy

The Presidential Election.

In the joint session of Congress on Wed
nesday the formality of declaring the re-
suit of the electoral vote of the States for
Harrison and Morton as President and
-Preside.t was carried through in ac-
cordance with the law fixing the second
"Wednesday Of February as the time for
declaring such result by the C,pgres So in
joint session. The Inauguration on the
4ih of March is now the only remaining
act to be done before the country passes
again under the government of republi-
can admins ration. In connection with
this change it is important 20 bear in
mind that while the electoral vote gives
Gen. Harrison G5 majority, the opular
vote gave the defeated democratic candi-
date 94,761 plurality over the President
elect. But this is not all. The figures from
'be S ate Department records show that
in the total suffrage of the country, foot
ing up 11,396,554 votes, Gen. Harrison
received 5,445,003. while there were s.
941 ,551 he did not receive. The Pre- sident-
elect is rot plurality President by a.
Gil, and not majority President by over
half million Of votes. Of all the elements
repre- sented in the tabulated returns Of
the election in November last the demo-
Gratis lead numerically tie republicans
come mex, while the prohibitionists form
phalanx 25O,538 strong, and the aggre-
gate labor vote, both wings, was 1914, ,s74.
b. sides we find exclusive Americanism
represented by 1915 voters in Penrsylva-
MIA and California, and the socialists by
2.06S in New York. For Belva Lockwood
and the equal rights of women New York
alone gallantly responds with one VOTE
1t may be, however, that in the total 1891
returned under the heading of scattering
there are concealed other equal rights
votes, but if so it is wrong for which
there is now no remedy.
