Zen. William Malone has formally an
nounccd that he is candidate for place in
Gen. Harrisons cabinet. In Charleston, S.
c., a few days ago, he WAS waited upon by a
number Of young colored Republicans, who
asked him what he thought OF colored
man in the cabinet. He frankly told
his visitors he did not approve of
such pretention. "In fact, to be can
did" said he, 81 regard such PROPOSE.
ton as too absurd to enter to any appreci-
able degree into the factorage of the political
situation" Gen. Malone also told them that
the Republican party as whole does not APP
prove placing colored man in the cabinet.
He was right. All that the Republican party
cares for is their votes on election day. Hay-
ing secnred these the poor, deluded colored
voters are told to wait until another day for
equal political privileges with the white Re.
publicans.

Preparing for the State Fair.

Hon. Frank Brown, President, and the d.
rectorb of the Maryland State Agricultural
aud Mechanical Association, with a zeal
worthy of the cause, have taken time by the
forelock and are already perfecting arrange
ments to make the State fair at Pimlico, in
September next, one Of the hest exhibitions
OF the kind ever seen in Mary land. The idea
is not to cOntiuc the show to few agricultu
raj exhibits, but to make display Of horses,
cattle and produce that will prove singularly
interesting. The cooperation of the mer
chants and mechanics of the State will also
be invoked to add to the attractiveness ofthe
fair. In short, it is intended that the exhibit
ton of 1889 shall display to all corners the
varied resources Of our good old State in ag-
riculture, stock raising and the mechanic arts.
1t is proposed to hold, at the same time, a
grand parade. in which all the trades of Bal
timore city and the State shall be fittingly re-
presented. II the project is successful it will
doubtless result in the erection of perma-
nent exposition building in Baltimore city,
which would attract strangers there and iudi-
rectly benefit the entire State.

CONGRESSMAN RUSSELL of Massachusetts seems to have had a unique experience in congress in that he has never been asked to use his influence in favor of an office-seeker. There is hardly another democrat in the house who can say that he has escaped the importunities of the office-seekers, and there is not republi- can in the New England delegation who has not been flooded with applications for places already.
