Democratic Editors.-At til

Democratic EditOrs.-At the recent
meeting of Democratic Editors of Maryland,
who assemble a. Annapolis each session Of the
Legislature ostensibly to discuss the issues Of
the day but, as many think, for the more i'm
portant purpose of devising ways and means
how they can best get their hands into the
public crib, committee was appointed TO
draft bill to be presented to the Legislature
So that the papers which Published the Gov
eruors proclamation announcing the vote on
the constitution shall be paid; also to urge
the speedy selection of the papers which are to
PRINT the public general laws promptly as en-
acted.
The editors also showed strong disposition
to favor relief of the bondsmen Of Stevenson
Archer, the former Chairman Of the Demo-
cratic State Central Committee, who is now
in the peuitentiary convicted of larceny of
public funds. Mr. Vandiver, Archer's former
law partner, speaker of the House of Delee ates,
is one of the bondsmen and ms be is Il ring
Democrat, it goes silhout saying, that the re-
lief will be granted if for no other urpose
than to save yandtver.
The following resolution, which shows that
the Democratic Editors do not want any
meuey expended unless they can get
a 'fwhach" at it, no matter if it is for
so audaoIe purpose us to make credtable
display at the World Fair, was adopted;
RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this associ-
alton that the direct tax refunded to the
State by the general government should be
applied to the payment Of the public debt, in
accordance with the recommendations of the
fnaaciai officers.

The ApDOintees.- list Of appoint
ments for this county sent to the Senate BY
the Governor upon the Recommendation Of the
Charles county Democratic ''bosses, y and
which may he found in another column, shows
that many changes have been made, but can
dor compels US to stale that in hardly single
instance will the change be in the interest Of
puTer political methods in the county. In the
list Of registration officers is 10 be found the
name Of more than oGe Of that class of politi-
clans who will sit, not as judicial officers to
see that every citizen shall have all the rights
guaranteed under the law, regardless of the
clamor Of politicians ofeither party to the con-
trary, out will be, to judge from their past po-
litical records, more On the order OF pr, serut-
ing officers who will coustrue law to suit them
selves 50 as to shut out as many OF the oppo-
site party as possible. The excellent school
board OF this county is ousted with the excep-
ton Of Dr. Boarman, recently appointed
Whether the change will be ia the interest of
the pubic schools remains to be seen. As the
old Democratic Supervisors Of Election are
both booked for lucrative positions, change
had to be made, and two "prac;ical politi-
Clans have been selected to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Henry Z. Mudd is retained. In the list Of
justices we find the name Of one, VIM. Dun
uington, who claimed to be Republican last
summer, previous to the election, and, ia con-
sequence, was appointed, by the Democratic
Supervisors Of Election, as a Republican ballot
clerk in the third election district. No one be-
lieves that Huntington was ever Republican
and his re-appointment as magistrate by the
Democrats, who never appoint Republican
unless to reward him for political treachery,
only goes to prove what farce is the new
Australian election law which enables Demo-
cratic partisans to appoint any one they may
think fit, the previous public declaration only
being necessary, to I'll a position which the
law contemplated should go to one of the OPP
posite political party. Some of those on the
list are good men who will faithfully discharge
their duty but there are others who we fear,
will not lift conflicts with the interests Of the
Democratic party.
