tanned the semblance of truth, their
utterances would be entitled to respect
full and earnest consideration, but as
it is, with glaring falsehoods appearing
in every sentence, they are simply OBJ

paper. We can't make out the name

X The Charleston World, which
claims to be in sympathy with the
Alliance, raises the cry of alarm and
says that the order is likely to split On
the Sub-Treasury and DR.. Macune.
We have heard this a thousand times
before, That paper thinks the Fort

split. Let her go Gallagher. II the

The Democracy of Ohio met last
week and nominated Gov. Campbell
for Governor, and adopted then plat
form. They make tariff and Tree
coinage the front issues. In this the
Republicans Of the State agree. We
note also the resolution Of coincidence
and sympathy adopted by the Demo
cratic Convention for the poor exilel
Jews of Russia, but we regret to find
similar expression for the thousands
of farmers of this country who are
being exiled from their homes under
the sherif's hammer and through the
.eXactions and greed of the money
power.

A CARD TO The uRnrc.

The Young Democrats Of the first
ward who were unsuccessful fhut in fact
successfully in the primaries on July Isl
feel that they are under no Obligation 10
vote for the successful candidates he
lieving, land we can prove It'd that this
ticket did not fully represent the senti
ment of the voters of the ward.
We know, as fact, that votes were
accepted by the judges OF parties who
were non residents: several colored men
also voted contrary to the custom of
Democratic primaries, while residents of
other wards and the second district of
county, and republicans also helped 10
swell the vote for the Strange ticket. If
the candidates returned and elected had
been fairly nominated we should have
accepted the defeat gracefully, but il Is a
well-known fact the ticket does not rep.
resent the Democrats of the ward, and
viii not be supported by those who be-
lieye in fair play. Some Of the elder
Democrats of the ward were completely
Disguised at the way the primaries were
conducted and intimate that the ticket
will fall short on election day Of Demo
cratic votes. Under the circumstances
Ii remains for those who managed the
successful ticket at the primary to see
that it is elected. The fail campaign is
coming on and somebody had better look
out. You've DEMOcRTs.

PolicicaI Notes.

The Baltimore Sunday papers are gen.
orally full of political speculation and
gossip, which must be taken with great
deal of allowance. We find the follow
ing in the Sunday Herald:
''Dr. George Wells canyas for Clerk
of the Court of Appeals has alugubrious
aspect. The doctor, 1t is said. would
like after all TO enjoy emoluments of the
office of clerk of the Circuit Court of
Anne Arundel. But the venerable Major
Sprigg HARDWOOD seems TO have life te-
nure OF that place, and should he fail to
be renominated the plum might fall into
the lap of that rising young political
leader, John Bannon."
Democratic primaries were held in
Prince Georges, st. Mary's. Charles, Cal
vert and wicomico counties Saturday.
All OF these counties-seventeen votes
will 60 to the Brown column. In Kent
county primaries were held for delegates
to the state convention. This county will
be for Brown in any event. The Hebron
faction are making fight for Brown
delegation. Hepbron is not candidate
for comptroller, but says that two thirds
of the people of Kent are for Brown, and
demand that he shall be endorsed by the
convention. Marian De Kalb Smith, the
candidate of the managers for comptrol-
lei. has been given the cue oput Browns
name at the head of his ticket.

Two years ago the Republicans nau no
candidate for Counsellor on the ticket
and no candidates for Aldermen in the
Second ward, and in consequence they
did not get out their full vote. 1t is
claimed that the vote to-day will be the
largest ever polled at municipal cleo
ton, and is is thought the election will
be quite close on the majority. 1t is
quite likely, from indications, up to the
time Of our going to press at 8 o'clock
this afternoon, that the Democrats would
carry the first ward by small majority,
and with the majority they expect to
get In the Second ward, and by keeping
down the vote in the Third ward, pull a
majority of their ticket through. While
on the other hand, the Republicans
claim to carry both the first and third
wards with majorities enough to give
them the mayor and majority of the
aldermen. In the first ward 1t is claim
ed that Strange, democrat, viii be cut,
and in the third ward, Thompson, the
colored candidate on the republican
ticket will run considerably behind his
ticket. In all of the wards, the election
passed off exceedingly quiet, not q
drunken man was to be seen at any of
the polls and no arrests were made dur
ing the day for disorderly conduct that
we could hear of.

The First City Election Under the

The polls opened this morning in all
the wards of the city at 2 o'clock,

Australian system at the city election
Mr.. Thos. Tydiugs was the first man 10
vote at the first ward, and w F. Will
liams. the first to, vote In the second
ward
THE first ward. which is always very
close. was made thebattle ground to-day
the Democrats as well as the Republican
exerting every effort to bring out the
full vote In order to increase their ma
joritles over the election Of two years
ago-the Democrats making extra exer-
lions on account Of the dissatisfaction OF
some OF their party inthe first ward. This
is also the ward in which the present
Republican candidates for mayor and
City Counsellor reside. and the result
from this ward will be looked for to-
night with a great deal of interest-for
as this ward goes. SO goes the city.
The second ward is the Democratic
banner ward, and always gives large
Democratic majority and helps in a great
measure to overcome the large majority
given by the Republicans In the third
ward II is also the home ward Of the
Democratic candidate for mayor, and
having an exceptionally good Alderman
ic ticket in the field. they expect to in
crease their majority over that OF two
years ago.
The third or uptown ward is the Re-
publican stronghold, on account of the
large number of colored voters who live
in that section of the city, and generally
gives from 1875 to 100 majority.
Two years ago the vote stood as fol
lows:

The .'PuDlic opinion" Prize Essays

AHc EubAAG OpAhiou hEtkG Essays
An AnnapolItan one Of the Successful Oaes
In the early spring the Public Opin-
ion Co.. offered $500 in prizes for the
three best essays on the subject: as any
Extension and Development Of Trade
Between the United States and Canada
Desirableg If so, What are the best
. Means of Promoting itg" The amount
was divided into the sums of $3.50, for
best essay, 500 for second prize and $50
for third prize. and they were awarded
TO Frank c. Wells, Toronto, Canada, first
| prize; VIM Macomber, of Baffalo, N. Y,
second prize. and ID. Claude, of Annapo-
lis, third prize. There were ninety eight
contestants and some idea of the impor
lance of the contest may be gathered
from the prominence of the judges who
were Erastus Wiman. f b. Thurber, of
Thurber Wyland i Co., N. Y, and
Henry w. Darling, president of the
Bank of Commerce and Board of Trade
of Toronto. Canada, and also from what
Public Opinion says in regard to them.
In its issue of April Goth, it says:
after the receipt on April Goth of the
| last mail the contest was declared closed
| and upwards of one hundred essays were
received, a casual glance through them
showing that they are all of high stand
ard and that they have evidently been
written by persons thoroughly CONVEX
SAINT with the question"
| On July 4th it says:
The work of the judges has been
delayed on account Of the very high
| grade OF the essays. So close has been
the competition that 1t has been necessa-
| ry to read and re-read many of the pa
| pers, which are masterpieces of econo
| mic literature. 1t Is doubtful IL any
contest in recent years has brought out
as many papers of paramount excellence,
and the prize winners are entitled to the
| highest honors which will be accorded
them by the thousands who will read
their articles"
And in its last issue OF to day. July II.
after naming the successful contestants
it says:
Each Judge marked upon the scale of
100 without knowledge OF the ratings
given by the other judges, and the paper
which had received thehighest grand total
was awarded first prize, the next highest
second prize, and the next highest third.
THE general high character of the pa.
pers necessitated the taking of much
more time for the final decision than was
at first supposed to be necessary. We
desire TO take this occasion to thank all
the competitors for their efforts In hay
ng made the contest successful, and to
wish them the best results in the coming
contests to be announced later"
This is high compliment paid our
fellow townsman, Mr.. Dennis Claude.
and one which he has just cause to feel
proud.
