The Republican Ticket.

The Republican county convention met
in this city on Tuesday, pursuant TO adj
journment on September 4th, and nomi-
mated more than full ticket, presenting
three candidates for County Commissioners,
when but one is TO be chosen.
The ticket is up to the average of Re
publican tickets in this county, and will
probably bring to the polls as full a vote as
any that could have been named,
The managers of the dominant faction
have been looking about for candidates for
some time, and the persons nominated on
Tuesday were all, or nearly all, selected in
advance of the converting Of tue eOuven-
tion. In consequence of 26 consecutive
Republican defeats, there was no rush for
places on the ticket, and the convention
willingly ratified the work of the managers.
The Democrats must not count for sue
cess in the apparent lukewarmRess in the
Republican party; they must not relax any
effort, because the Republican party is
divided ;ato two factions; they must not
abate any energy because large number
of Republicans we're opposed to placing
ticket in the field.
The duty of Democrats is plain: See
chat the name of every unregistered Demo
erat is upon the registration books before
they close finally for this year next week;
then see to it that every Democratic voter
is at the polls on November 9TH.
The Democratic record in managing the
affairs Of the county is one to be proud Of,
and the ticket presented for their suffrages
this fall is one that, if elected, insures a
continuance of the same excellent and
economical management.

The Baltimore SIN seems TO be right 10
the alleged Baltimore City Ring. \ few
weeks ago tpretended to have iDtervieweda
distinguished foreign civil engineer and re-
ported him as saying the Baltimore sewers
were the best he had seen in America.
The Ne,es proved the interview to be false,
but the Sun stuck to its story. The Sun
last week hitched up Cleveland and Raisin,
and told how these, moved by patriotism,
had consulted on Maryland politics, how
the once corrupt Raisin and Warfeld, and
Bruce and other saints had smoked the
pipe of peace, and gave the ticket that they
had agreed upon for the second legislative
district of Baltimore. 1t wasn't any ''rlDg
ticket, either, if it was made two weeks
before the primary was held. When in
dependent saints select candidates before
hand, that is patriotism; when people who
always feel an interest in politics do it, it
is corrupt, machine work. The ticket, too,
is said to belong to the tax-dOdger class,
and on account Of this, it is singular that
the SHn endorses it, for it has always done
Its duty to the city and state-never had
its plant exempted, unlawfully. from taxa
ton, and was never caught evading taxa
ton in Baltimore county. Still the Sun
seems to have enlisted with the alleged
Ring, and it is going the full length on
everything.

The Democratic County Convention.

The harmony prevailing at the Demo
cratic convention last Monday is as crafty
ing to the great body of Democrats as it
was disappointing to the Republicans,
The primary contests, the Republicans
thought, bad made breach that could not
be bridged They had magnifed the con-
tests in their own minds, and in the divi-
sions in Taneytown, Manchester, Hamp-
stead and Woolery's districts, they thought
they saw the dawn of Republican victory
for the first time for more than a quarter
of century There was no bitterness in
any of the contests except in Hampstead
district, and Republican hopes were blasted
by the delegates on one side Withdrawing
from the contest for seats in the conven-
tion and the other side giving them mem
Der Of the County Central Committee.
The act of Jonas Neudecker, George
Grove. A. J. Ham, A. f. Wells and c.
i. Murray, one of the coDtestlng delega-
lions from Hampstead district, in present
ing an agreement to the committee on
credentials TO allow the Murray delegates
TO represent the district in the convention,
while believing themselves entitled to the
honor. was as graceful an act Of self-sacri-
fee for party interest as was ever made
in the county. By that act they showed
that they were more interested in the sue
cess of the ticket to be nominated than 10
self elevation. They placed party above
personal ambition, and subordinated per-
sonal feeling to party veal. And the other
side. while not making so much of sacri-
flee. yielded something TO their antagonists,
and contributed to the harmonious action
of the convention.
The ticket chosen is conceded to be a
very strong one. The nominees are par
ticnlarly well qualified to discharge the
duties Of the positions to which they have
been nominated. They are all men of high
character, of strict integrity, and will be
faithful to their trusts. They are men high
ly esteemed, popular with the people, and the
majority in November should be the most
crushing to Republjcanism ever recorded
in the county.

The Tramp Problem.

An article in the August Forum on the
causes and Cure of Vagrancy' has attract.
ed considerable attention. 1t is estimated
that there are $4,000 tramps IN tie United
States who are supported by voluntary co.,
tributions, aggregating $4,000, zoo annually,
This is larger body of men than the regular
army, and il represents a working force as
numerous as is engaged in many of the pro
ductiVe enterprises of the land.
The author OF this article caused about
1000 tranps TO be Intercepted and their
answers TO set questions we're written down.
1t appears that only 1,349 vagrsnts, 60 per
cent has trades, professions or employmeRts,
in which they had been successful and sell
supporting, while "A per cent. were unskilled
iabOrers. OF those questioned, 1,lS1 were
able TO reed and write, and were possessed
of good degree OF Intelligence.
Among the causes of vaSTapcy drink is
stated to be the principle one. Only 30 OF
the tramps questioned claimed to be total
abstainers, 1l3 admitted that they he'd no
religion, and the rest professed to have some
regard for the tenets ofone or another rellgi
GUS sect. These are curious, not to say re.
markabe facts regarding that class Of human
beings which have come 10 be looked upon as
a nuisance and q menace to society.
The article referred to cites as cure tor
vagrancy the arrest of the tramp, his immedl-
ate introduction to a bathtub and comfortable
clothing and nights rest in a bed indoors.
After that he should be put to work 10 pay
for the garments with which be is clothed
and the food he hes eaten. He is to be
registered by the authorities, and his name
and description published in all the COUNTIES
of the State. Each conviction of yagranoy IS
to be met-with longer term OF labor, until
the disease is cured.

The Sherman Act and Protection.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From Inc sun
Senator Cameron's speech in opposition to
the repeal of the Sherman act presents the
history and character OF that act in clear
light The Sherman act, he shows, was e
part of the great system of protection ;naugu-
rated in 1890. What the Mckinley bill was
to the Pennsylvania manufacturers the Sher-
man act was to the silver mine owners of Ne
vada and Colorado The former made mar
ket with high prices) for Eastern manutac-
lures, and the latter did the same for the sill
yer product. There was a bargain, and 1t
would be a shame now for Eastern Protec
tionists to rob the silver men of their part OF
it while keeping their own.
This is ali very clear. 1t shows that what
Southern Democrats are fighting for IN OPP
posing the repeal of the Sherman act is the
preservation Of the keystone of the arch OF
protection. Protesting to favor equal rights
and tariff for revenue only, they are De
Tending an essential part OF the protectlonist
scheme of 1890 If they vote for repeal and
carry it they will knock out the keystone OF
the protectionist arch and the whole structure
will tumble. The silver States will no longer
vote for protection if the Sherman act is re-
pealed. Southern Democrats and tariff re
FORMERS see this, aud yet 60 on trying to keep
the Republican party solid and keep protec-
ton in force. What a lack of political saga
city What disregard of party principles
and personal pledges They should at least
consider the interests of the toiling millions
whose lot is made harder by the Sherman
and Mckinley acts.
