BALTIMORE, Jan. A-The editorial article

pose to hand over this State to the Republicans

are opposed to the Australian ballot law In its

At the Same time the construction placed
upon the speech Of Senator German with ref

Campaign Advice.

Mr. EDITOR: Please allow me space
in your paper to give little advice to
those who are making this political cam
paign so bitter and personally unpleas-
ant. Saying hard things Of one another
will never make men popular in this
community, and will never add to their
political influence. The fact is that back
of all the place-seekers and self-seekers
generally, there Is a great majority in
favor OF honest, efficient, economical,
progressive, responsible government.
The question which the intelligent and
patriotic voter must decide is, which
candidates offer the greater assurance of
such good government in case they are
elected Internal improvem ents are
now regarded by all intelligent voters as
of the greatest importance. The public
of this little community can judge OF the
records of the men now nominated, and
decide who are likely to do most in this
line, without listening to personal Wifi
cation. The Homestead law and its
operation are also important matters.
The statute has been on the books during
great part Of two administrations
Those seeking to retain or to gain con
troll of the Government have been, fol
the most part, connected in some way
with the two administrations. Again
let the public decide which men they
can trust this business to with the great
est assurance, without rousing bitter
passions. The Chinese question, like
Ban9uo's ghost, will not down. 1t re
quires no personal abuse to enable the
public to decide inteliigently which mer
can be trusted to deal most iairly anC
efficiently with this grave and important
question. Let these and other importan
matters be dealt with honestly and earn
estly, but without passion. Violence O
invective produces state OF mind among
the people of any small place which un
fits them to deal with such grave matters
This plea for temperance is not intend
ed as reproach to those who in can
did and moderate way compare records
of men who have political records, il
their official capacity. Nor, indeed, is i
intended as reproach to any other
| May it act rather as Oil upon the water
