Why Mr.. Blaine Declined.

The New York World prints an
explanation from tho pen Of member
OF the staff sent to Florence, Italy, oi
James G. Blaine's declination of the pres.
idency in 1888. and the circumstances un.
der which his famous Florence letter was
written. The correspondent says: "Mr
Blaine had stroke of paralysis, brough,
on by . chill caught in the st. Gothard
tunnel, and was prostrsted at Milan fol-
twenty-four days with pariesis. With his
convalescence appeared most distressing
type of melaucholia which fully develop
ed after he reached Florence. During
this last stage of his long and pitiful ILL.,
ness, acting on the advice of a conscien-
tious physician, Mr.. Blaine wrote the let
ter of Jan. Is, 1883, Withdrawing his
name from the list of presidential, caudi-
dates. Dr.. Baldwin was the physician
who a. . matter of 'life or death, y
prompted the writer OF the letter.: As he
admits to the Worlds correspondent, DR..
Fornori, of Milan, attended Mr.. Blaine
when first stricken down, and helped to
keep secret the story Of his illness. For
weeks Mr.. Blaine was unable to aIticulate
sfter being suddenly stricken down, and
Dr.. Baldwin, At Florence, insisted that he
must not undergo the excitement of .
campaign"

Governor Jacksons Investigation into
the matter Of State taxation has brought
out facts which strike him, a. they will
Others, as odious a.om.lies. He finds, for
example, that two railroads that have ..
bout fifty miles only of mileage in Dela-
ware pay that State taxes to an amount ex.
ceeding the whole amount the State of
Maryland receives from all the hundreds
Of miles of railroad in its borders: On it's
scanty mileage in Delaware the b. and O.

while on ito incomparsbly larger property
in Maryland it pays but $4,000. New
Jersy, according to the official report OF
1887, collects . million of dollars 10 taxes
upon railroad property. Pennsylvania gets
81 ,5O0. 900 yearly from taxes on railroads,
while Maryland gets in all but So, ,0o0.-
The remedy 10 simple. Amend the State
constitution. Prohibit further legislation

such exemptions - they now claim.

The State conference of colored men,
in session at Springfield, Illinois. last
week, demanded the abolishment of
separate schools for black and white
children, and want all schools open to
both races. The demand of the coll
ored mems convention in Baltimore
last February was pretty much the
same. As long as the Democratic
party is in control in Maryland, sepa-
rate schools will be maintained.-
Should the Republican party win, the
negroes will be able to control it, and

Next Tuesday.

The general election to be held on
next Tuesday will be one of more than
ordinary importance in Maryland
The R 'publicans, elated BY the con-
paritively close vote of the State in
the Presidential and Congressional
elections of last fall, have boldly set
up the claim Of delivering Maryland
to the Republicans in this campaign.
and sending Republican to the T..
S. Senate to strengthen their hold up
on that body. This promise on the
part of the Rspublic.n managers of
the State has been mace the basis of
an enlarged claim upon the Federal
patronage, and there are, no doubt,
many public appointments now held
in allegiance to be made contingent up
on the redemption of that promise.
Hence the eagerness and z,al with
which the Republicans will endeavor
to redeem it.
There is also 4 ceartain element Of
arrogant and reckless people in B.lti.
more city. at one time claiming allie
glance to the Democatic party. that,
fully aware, of the purpose and object
of the Republicans, are willing to aid
them in it.
But, fortunately, it Can now be said
with some degree of assurance that
the schemes of this unholy combination
promise only failure. The Democrats
throughout the State have become tho
roughly aroused to the situation, and
there is a good prospect that the YER
dict of next Tuesday will be . mos'
encouraging one. In some Of the coun.
ties, the councils of weak minds have
unfortunately prevailed, and unneces-
sary faction fights have, bv their folly
been iuaugursted; but for the m"s
part the Democracy of the State ii
united and will on Tuesday efFectuslly
redeem itself.
The possibility of Republican VIC
tory in the State at this time, ought to
put every liberty loving citizen on BIZ
guard; and hence every Deaocrst ough
to lay all ether things aside and cas-
his vote on 1esday.
Ir this county it is the same ole
fight between the taxpayers and the
tsx-eaters; and everybody ought t,
forget personal grievances and try I,
retrieve past errors. Every Democra
should 20 to the polls and vote, ant
forget personal grievances. The greal
and undying principles Of the Demo
cratic party, overshsdow all persona
folly, and are greater far than any man
in it. Well may i, say in the language
of the post
"Though men my come, and
men may 60, ! 60 on forever"
Let Democrats remember this, and
forgetting all folly, 80 to the polls
and vote.

Federal Inte rference in lections.

There is little doubt that the Chan
dlers and the Hoars and the Shermans,
and other brave warriors in time of
peace among the Republican Congress-
men, will be early on the war path at
the coming session of Congress in an
other attempt to subdue the white
people of the South and make them
bow their heads to the barborous woke
of negro domination. But there is
little doubt that the coming effort will,
like its predecessors, be doomed to
failure.
Mr.. Sherman has already foreshad-
owed the line upon which he will make
his attack. He will insist upon the
passage of his Federal election law,
which aims to put the polls of all Con.
gressional elections in the Southern
States in charge of the U. s. Marshals
backed by the Federal bayonettes. In
this way it is hoped to hold the negro
up to the work for which he was en-
franchised-that of dominating the
white people of the South, sitting
their voice at the polls and misrepre-
senting them by Republican members
of Congress. But there is good prom.
ise that a resolute and we'll organized
Democratic minority. aided by . few
conscientious Republicans who still
have some regard for the Constitution
will be able to defeat this mischievou,
scheme.
Section Of article of the FEEDER.
Constitution, which is relied upon by
Mr.. Sherman as authority for his pro
posed lswless invasion, has Away
been construed as authorizing Con
gress to make regulations .s to th'
time, place and manner Of holding
election for Congress. only when ,
State, through it's Legislature, had iail
ed to do 80. 1t is q historical fact tha
the people of q number of the State
were reluctant to adopt the Constitu-
ton on account of the possibility o
the abuse of some Of it's clauses b,
demagoguea like Sherman and Hoa
and Chandler. This very clause o
section 4 was stoutly opposed on tha
account, when Alexander Hamilton
in . contemporsneous issue of tn
Federalist, gave assurance that it ~
open to no such construction. He said
"Suppose an article had been intro.
duced into the constitution empower.
ing the United States to regulate tn
elections for the particular States
would any man have hesitated to con
demn it. both a. IN unwsrrsntabl,
transposition Of power and - . pre-
meditsted engine for the destruction O
State government?''
And yet it is to be observed that thi
construction, which the great Federal
ist leader denominated ~ so extrava-
giant and 90 dangerous to the libertie,
Of the States, 10 exactly what the lat
ter-day statesmen, such as Sherman
and company, are endesvorin1 to put
upon it, in their efforts to subjugate
and humiliate the loyal Southern
States!
As We said, it is believed that there
are fair minded Republicans enough
in Congress to aid the Democratic mi.
nority in defeating this bad scheme;
but the fact that it is openly support.
ed BY all the most prominent Republi.
can leaders, including perhaps the
President himself, ought to make ev.
cry native Southern white man reflect
before he votes the Republican ticket.
