A Democratic Reform Club Organized.

The Maryland Democratic Reform Clut
was organized il Baltimore city, on Wednes
day night, with the following officers: .
Philip D. Laird, of Montgomery, President
Vice-Presidents, Hon. Edward Lloyd, of Tai
bot, Hon John s. Writ, of Cecil, Louis Nc
Lane and G. Morton Stewart, of Baltimore
city, Capt. George Thomas, of St. Mary's
and Hon. ]. Clarence Lane, of Washington
Roger w. Gull was elected General Secre-
tary and Thomas K. Worthington Treasurer.
The board of Trustees, twelve in number,
to manage the property and concern ofthe
club for the first year, named in the certificate
ofincorporation as required by law, are as
follows ]. Clarence Lane, Philip b. Laird,
Edward Lloyd, John s. Writ, Edward Woot-
ton, James Alfred Pearce, E. L. F. Hardcas-
tie, Louis McLane, George W. Gail, Thomas
w. Hall, William Ferguson and William
Winchester.
Additional members of the executive COM
mittee, who have the general direction of the
political and educational work of the club,
are Michael A. Mullin, Joseph Packard, Jr.,
Thomas s. Baer, Col. William P Maulsby,
Jr., of Frederick, and John ]. Donaldson, OF
Howard.
The purposes of the club arerdeclared to
be:
To promote an honest, efficient and econo-
mical administration of the State, municipal
and county government to secure just as
sessment of property to promote the protec-
ton and improvement of the natural resour-
ces and material interests of the State by
judicious legislation to perfect and extend
the operations of the new ballot law +; TO
secure primary election law for Baltimore
city to check and punish corrupt practices
at elections, lobbying and every form of
official delinquency and corruption.
Provision is made in the constitution for
the appointment of standing committees on
reform in taxation and tax laws, reform in
the executive and financial departments of
the State government, ballot reform, reform
in county government and administration, in
Guiding road legislation /; reform in city gov
eminent and administration also for f.
nance committee and publication commit
tee.
The objects proposed by this club must
commend themselves to every good citizen,
and as it is to have nothing to do with the
political fortunes of individuals, its platform
Is broad enough to contain every Democrat.
Mr.. Laird, upon taking the chair made an
excellent address, in which he pointed out
the importance of the work which will be
brought before the next Legislature. This
brings US face to face with the fact that if that
work is to be performed in such manner as
to subserve the best interests ofthe State, able
and judicious men should be elected to the
General Assembly next fall. Here in Har-
ford the Democratic party has an opportuni-
ty of making a careful selection among the
candidates named for nomination, and every
Democrat should consider it his duty to lay
aside personal considerations and choose the
very best men on the primary election ticket.
