sEsgs FROM Mr. slIEy'i RECORD,
We N,sa To 9sisas Hin 1. The ?alIl,

The following is an extract taken
from an editorial in Mr.. Riley's
Record on the eve Of the cam
paign
.eThe first man then TO be attacked Is
Mr.. Barnes Compton, IL nominated for
Congress, or any other man who runs in
the same groove he does. He ought not,
fellow Democratic who now feel the iron
heel Of power grinding us in this coun-
ty, be elected to Congress in the year OF
grace 1888.
"Let no talk of national affairs deceive
you. Our first duty is at home.
Let no misunderstanding be made. We
mean 10 defe0t him at the p0H' Not only
him bit an county and district candidates
nominated on the same principles, for
the time has now come TO call halt
THE thing is an easy one to do
Mr.. Compton was defeated and
the whole democratic ticket, in this
county. Now this same political
trickster, asks the defeated democrats
in that election to support him This
fall for the Legislature. Now we
say TO the honest and true democrats
OF Anne Arundel 'sLet no misun-
Outstanding be made. We mean to
defeat HIM at the polls" What is
sauce for the goose is sauce for the
gander.

From Mr.. Riley's Record, June o. 1883.
When practical politicians want to car
~ Anne Arundel In clean. fair, aud
Democratic way, they have got to come TO
the principles OF DR.. Wells aud HE friends
There Is no other way to win Democrat
ic victories than TO let Democratic ma
jorities make Democratic tickets of hon
est, capable and faithful nominees.

From Mr.. Riley's Record August 9th, 1887.
Ii Is to be- hoped that the Board of
County Commissioners will never regret
voting the 500. 600 subscription to the
Drum Point Railroad. 1t is an unwisc
step and the day will probably come
when the majority will rue their course.
The history Of pubic subscriptions to
railroads Is generally Of pub ic donation
this subscription will have al exception.

From Dir. Riley's Record Nov. 20. 1886.
Nicholas is no more the autocrat OF all
the Rllssias; Benjamin Butler was no
less tyrant of New Orleans, than Arthur
r. German Is political satrap OF Maryland
The President of the United States has
given over the political patronage of this
State. and his soul and body with 1t,
into the hands of its senior Senator, aud
the proof of 1t lies In every appointment
that has been made from Eugene Higgins
to JOS. X. Roberts; and Ia the overpow-
ering fact, that no man, who kept bis
ewes and ears open, could talk with Mr..
Cleveland on the subject of DR.. Wells
appointment without discovering that,
SO far as Maryland was concerned, In
Mr.. German, Mr.. Cleveland lived, ard
moved, and had his political being. 1t

with these people (the Senators) for four
years. :

Mr.. Compton's friends feel uneasy
His tight Is at the polls. We have no
hesitancy In saying we are opposed to Dir |
Compton for Congress, Anne Arundel /
democracy aud State Managers to the
contrary Notwithstanding. Ii he is TO
be given, however, the vote of Anne
Arundel TO nominate him, 1t should only /
be done with the clenched teeth and |
Indignant Eye Of the Anne Arundel /
democracy looking him squarely In the
face. aud saying Eder protest for
your treatu ent of the Anne Arundel
democracy"
If we we're consulted. il would be no
