ley county in the hollow of his hand
but Senator Camden captured Jetfer-
son.
JEFFERSON county endorses Sena-
tor Camden's Democracy. There's no
better Democrat in this State than Mr..
Camden. He has proven 1t.
IT takes men of Democratic prin-
ciples to carry out Democratic policy.
Therefore Democrats should be put in
control of government affairs.

IT will take, at the present rate of
progress, about seven straight Demo
cratic administrations to get the prop
er number of Democrats in Office.

THERE is great deal of independ-
ence in the Democratic party. 1t
would be better for the country if there
were more of it in the Republican
party. -
CoxEY's army has hard time get
ting along even when it has no opposi-
ton. We fear it will meet with dis
aster when the Washington police con-
front it.
IT is to be hoped that the Demo-
cratic Senators will not waste time
making speeches on the tariff bill,
What the country wants is action
not talk.
THREE thousand Democrats met in
San Francisco last Monday night and
passed resolutions denouncing Senator
David B. Hill as a traitor to the Dem
ocratic party.

THOSE DEMOCRATIC Senators who
talk too much on the tariff bill now
will have to do still more of it when
they seek reelection. Silence now
will be golden then.

SENATOR PETER wasted several
days last week in giving his views on
the tariff. His remarks were listened
to by himself, three Senators, eleven
spectators and Uncle Isaac Bassett.
SENATOR z. B. VANCE, Of North
Carolina, died in Washington last
Saturday night, after long illness.
Senator Vance was typical southern
gentleman, an able and popular states
man.
The announcement has been made
by Col. Breckenridge that he will
make an active canvass for renomina-
ton for Congress. He ought to be
nominated and elected by an over
whelming majority-to stay at home.
The Charlestown ror"~"'-S1itoIially
~uu otherwise, have been saying some
good things about Hon. C. II. Knott
and Hon. A. S. cambridge, our two
candidates for the Legislature from
this end of the county. Both are
good men-why not send them both
to the Legislature?

THE cheap and common vulgarity
of Col. Phil Thompson is doubtless all
right in the circles in which he moves,
but it finds no support among the
great body of respectable men of this
country. Even Phil Thompson can see
now that the people are disguised with
the blackguardism he has displayed.

Ex-SPEAKER REED takes to himself
much self-adulation because the Dem
ocrats of the House have adopted a
rule to count quorum. He thinks
it is complete vindication of his
course as Speaker. Mr.. Reed should
remember, however, that the new rule
does not provide for the counting of
canes and hats to get quorum.

IT looks very much as if there are
few Democratic Senators who will so !
far forget their party obligations as to
act with the Republicans in trying to |
defeat the tariff bill. The Democratic |
party is distinctly pledged to pass a
tariff reform measure. If any Demo
cratic Senator is too conscientious to
vote for and support such bill he
ought to resign.
THE House of Representatives has
adopted new and very sensible rule
1t requires the appointment of two
tellers, who shall count sufficient
members who are present but not vot-
ng to make, with those who do vote
quorum. This effectually does away
With the obstruction to business which
mas enabled the Republicans to block
legislation for weeks past, and the
wheels are once more going round.
The President ended the long agony
'ver the Maryland Offices last week by
making the following appointments
