The Baccarat Scandal.

The famous baccarat case In London
was ended on Tuesday by verdict in favor
of the defendants. Sir William Gordon Cum
ming, an intimate friend of the Prince OF
Wales, was charged with cheating at cards,
while playing with His Royal Highness and
others, in a private house. To avoid expos
ure and disgrace he signed paper promising
never to play cards again. The story leaked
out and Sir William brought suit against his
host for SANDER. 1t came out in evidence
that the Prince never travels without the ap-
planes for his favorite gambling game.
The verdict being against Sir William be will
doubtless be cashiered from the army, in
which he was brilliant and gallant officer,
and from the social clubs in which he held a
prominent place. All England appears to be
aroused over the revelations of the generally
disgraceful conduct of the Prince of Wales
the future King of England. This exposure
of his loose and immoral habits, it is said,
may imperil the monarchy of England. At
best it is only ornamental and very costly.
Sir William Gordon added a piquant sequel
to his trial by marrying, on Wednesday, in
st. Paurs, London, Miss Florence Garner,
of New York. The young lady is said to be
worth from $50, 900 to 100000, and said she
did not believe Sir William cheated at cards.

Farmer Brown for Governor.

The county press of the State is almost
unanimously in favor of the nomination of
Hon. Frank Brown, of Carroll county, as the
Democratic candidate for Governor. Mr.
Brown, as postmaster of Baltimore city, de-
veloped executive ability of high order. In
stead OF following in old ruts he instituted
many valuable reforms and made one OF the
best postmasters Baltimore city ever had. As
a Democrat, too, his record is spotless. Heis
in thorough touch and accord with the farm
ing interests of the State and we have no
doubt he would make frst-class Governor.
He belongs, too, to our congressional district,
which should give him some claim to the
support of the Democrats of Hartford.
