The Republican Nominations.
The Republican convention which met a
Bel Air, ON Tuesday nominated tickle
which, when the personal character OF somt
o: the candidates is considered, may be re
garded as possessing some strength, but il
many points it is weak. Taking it separate
ly or all together, there is no reason why
Democrats should aid in supporting it. Or
the contrary, there is every reason why they
should do their utmost TO defeat it.
The Republican party created and uphOlds
the monopolies and trusts which burden and
Cypress the farmer and aboring man. Fol
years the Democratic party has sought to
tighten these burdens by Il fair, judicious and
equitable tariff. At the last election it cast
two and half million Of votes in the United
States and outnumbered the Republicans by
100000 Notwithstanding the political
trickery resorted 10, change OF a few thou
sand votes in New York would have given
the Presidency again to the Democrats.
Every vote cast for Republican candi-
date tends to retard the Democratic party in
its contest for control of the general govern
ment. This is not only true with respect to
candidates for the Legislature, but all other
offices as well A Democratic vote cast for a
Republican candidate has moral effect, since
it strengthens that party and Indirectly aids it
in its national contests. Our exhortatiOn TO
every Democrat is, stick TO your party. Vote
for its candidates. Our battle for men was
fought at tie primary elections. Now our con
test is for principles. Bear this in mind and
keep the straight path Of rectitude and loyal
ty to Democracy. Better endure any person.

the triumph Of that party whose principles

out and he wisely chose the former. The
trouble with the doughty Corporal was that
he construed too literally the promises in the
Republican platform concerning pensions to
soldiers and in his efforts to dssipate the
surplus would not discriminate between the
soldiers who served their country hOnorably
and the bummers, camp followers and dc.
sertels He invited all hands to come and

The blizzard this week was almost as
disastrous in its effects as the great one Of
March, 1887. The tide was unusually high
along the Atlantic coast and considerable
damage was done at Atlantic City, Cape
May and other pleasure resorts. On Tie
Chesapeake bay steamers were delayed and
vessels washed ashore. David Moore and
Daniel Brown, two men belonging to the L
s. monitor Passaic, were drowned, near An
napolis, by the swapping of boat in which
they had gone to rescue Engineer Busch
who had gotten over board by the sinking Of
the vessels steam launch, on which he was
at work.
-Havre de Grace and Bel Air got the lions

Grace, while Bel Air got Il candidate fol
the Legislature, candidate for Sheriff and {
candidate for County Commissioner. TIT
