even been known to make use of them
against the Democrats and the Democratic
party. The laws may be broken and the
purity, if not the freedom, of the ballot
violated, with the connivance of cOmplais-
ant judges and clerks and a sympathetic
police at the polls. These are matters, it
is suggested, which have been so arranged
formerly and can be so arranged again. All
this, we believe and hope, is merely the
foolish, frothing talk of angry and fright
ened men. We cannot persuade ourselves
to believe for one moment that anything
of the kind can be seriously contemplated
or attempted at this day in the State of
Maryland.
1T is we'll to remember, however, that
forewarned is forearmed: that these silly
vaporings are just mischievous enough to
warrant close watch from this day on

all who may be supposed to encourage or
to sympathize with them

A SURE VICTORY.

The spirit of Cancellation, harmony and
good will that marked the proceedings of
the Cambridge Convention are the welcome
omens of Republican success.
Hon. Lloyd I.owndes, the nominee for
Governor. is one of the ablest Marylandcr'
in public life to day, and will make Il
splendid Governor, to which office he will
undoubtedly be elected. He is in the full
vigor Of mature manhood, and is one of the
most successful business men of the State,
being President of the Second National
Bank of Cumberland, which heads the
mrrit-roll Of national banks in Maryland,
and is also largely interested in other bust
ness enterprises in the Western part of the
State.
No less conspicuous on the ticket are the
names of Mr. Clabaugh and Mr.. Graham as
worthy and popular opponents Of Republi-
canism.
They are gentlemen of character and
standing at home, universally esteemed as
TlSluS incll vi 'dpacilN uilb CldidSttl, anu
whose names on the ticket add to its
strength.
The platform on which these gentlemen
have been placed is at once comprehensive,
clear cut and sound.
Upon the overshadowing issue of taxation
and re-assessment it is positive and un
equivocal Itpledges the Republican party
to pass a re-assessment bill, $50 framed as
to require that every person holding pro-
perty in the state shall contribute his pro-
portion OF public taxes for the support of
the government according to his actual
worth in real or personal property and
promises not to play fast and loose with
the people, as the Democrats have done for
many years, in order that some of them
might get votes by demanding re-assess-
ment, and others, money, by preventing it. y
The platform further proposes an amend
ment to the Constitution, limiting the debt

of Maryland, and promises'to sweep away

A COURT of this State has decided that
under the law of the State public records
are public property, and any one may have
copies of them on rendering the proper fees.
This comes little hard on certain people
who wish to be well thought of on all sides
and who have signed petitions for liquor
licenses. hut object to having their names
published in that connection. They asked
the court from furnishing their names to an
editor who wished to publish them, and the
application was refused for the reason
stated. The moral of this little incident
appears to be ''Don't do anything that you
are ashamed of.

Eastern Shore political circles. He was born
in Salisbury. April T. 1867, and IL. therefore,

ceived his early education in the excellent

Hurry VI. CIABAIGU.

Mr.. Harry NJ. ClabuuSh is one of the bright
Young men of the state. He was born in
Cumberland July IT, 1856. and lived there
till the winter of 1868. when his father, Mr.. q.
W. Clabaugh, moved TO Baltimore. The
family lived in that city till 1873. when Mr..
Clabaugh. ST., bought the Antrim estate, in
Carroll county, and the family moved there
Mr.. Clabaugh was sent to the Pennsylvania
College, at Gettysburg, and graduated from
there in 1871 In the following wear he
graduated in law from the University of
Maryland, having taken the two-year course
in year He read law with MIR Bernard
Carter, in Baltimore. Mr.. Clabaugh practiced
law about II year and II half in Baltimore,
but. upon the death of his father he bought
the Antrim property. where he still lives. In
addition to practicing law he is Il practical
farmer, and runs Il farm. During the past
several years he has lived during the winter

of Hon. John A. Swope, OF Pennsylvania. In
1882. after the election of Hon. John E. Smith,
he formed partnership with Colonel William
A. McKclip.
This is not the first time that Mr.. Clabaugh
has been honored by his party by being nomi-
mated for Il responsible Office. He was nomi-
mated for states attorney of Carroll county in
1888. and for state senator in 1887. Though
defeated both times. he ran way ahead of his

UP WITH THE REPUBLICAN FLAG

In the campaign for the Republican
nomination for Governor, which ended in
the selection of Hon. Lloyd Lowndes at
Cambridge On Thursday, the WING has
vigorously supported Mr.. Malster.
1t is not necessary now to review the
reasons why it regarded Mr.. Malster the
most available and the strongest candidate
for that nomination.
Suffice it to say, that thousands of Re
publicans all over the State thought the
same thing and agreed with the WING
that Mr. Malster was the strongest candi-
date before the people for that nomination,
not the least Significant evidence of the
fact being, that in the vote at the primaries
in the city of Baltimore, Mr. Malster polled
Il majority of two thousand votes over the
combined vote given both Mr.. Lowndes
and Mr.. Baker.
But Notwithstanding this gratifying evil
dence of Mr.. Masters popularity in the
city where he resides and the splendid
show of strength his friends made in the
counties Of the State, Mr.. Lowndes has
received the majority of the votes in the
State Convention, and is Justly entitled to
the cordial and hearty support of every
man who processes to be a Republican,
without regard to his personal preferences
as to party candidates.
We candidly confess our disappointment
that Mr. Master did not receive the nomi-
nation, particularly in view of the strength
that his name would have given the Repub-
lican ticket in Cecil county.
But with equal candor and sincerity, we
accept in good faith the nomination of Mr..
Lowndes, as the expressed will of the ma
jority, and shall accord him the same hearty
and cordial support we should have given
Mr.. Master.
The WING will not sulk in its tent be-
cause it did not get the man it preferred.
1t will use just the same effort, and en-
ploy Just the same honorable means, to
secure every possible vote for Mr.. Lowndes,
that it would have used in behalf of Mr.
Master.
Mr.. Lowndes, as the candidate of the
Republican party of Maryland, should and
doubtless will receive the sincere support
of every Republican in the State.
1t is no less true, that he will command
Il large Democratic and Independent vote,
and we believe he will be triumphantly
elected Governor of Maryland.
We appeal to the Republicans OF Cecil
to give Mr.. Lowndes not an Indifferent and
half-hearted support, but a thoroughly cor
dial, active and hearty support.
He is a clean, capable and honest man,
strong in his following in the only certain
Republican Congressional District of tic
State, and because he is a worthy exponci t
of Republican principles, he should have
a solid and enthusiastic party behind him.
Cecil will do her duty, for her Republi
cans are fully as devoted to Republican
principles, a they are attached to her own
! sons.

A BALTIMORE JUSTICE has given judg
ment for 5000 in favor of boarding
house keeper, who made preparations for
entertaining a number of delegates to the
recent Baptist convention in that city, but
did not receive as many guests as she ex-
pected. The hint will not be lost on this
enterprising woman's compeers at the sum-
mer resort. They will rejoice at decision
which gives them such heretofore unsus-
pected method of retrieving the losses of I,
dull season.

all obstacles to free and fair expression OF
the peoples will at the polls, and to re-
store to them the right to choose their own
officers, right of which they have been de-
prived in many counties of the state. The
laws governing the public schools are
promised amendment so that the poorest
child in the state may have an opportunity
to obtain an education without money and
without price. The merit system of ap.
pointments to office is to be submitted to a
vote of the people, should Republican
legislature be chosen in November.
With so excellent platform on which to
go before the people, we believe the success
of the ticket named on Thursday is assured.

WATTERSON ON THE THIRD
TERM.

Henry Watterson is one of the few Demo
Gratis who do not hesitate to proclaim their
opposition to Grover Cleveand's nomina-
ton for third term and he does it with all
the emphasis OF which he is capable
According to Watterson, Cleveland would
not carry single Congressional district
in the United States if he were to run again
for the Presidency
There has been good deal of limiting
lately from the administration cuckoos and
their organs that Mr.. Cleveland may be IL
necessity to the Democratic party in 1896,
and that his craftsmanship will be
vindicated by the course of events before
ton OF the party. This adulation excites
only the contempt and disgust of Waiter
son, and any man who INDUCES in it he
regards as "a fool or craven tool. -
Nevertheless there is not an administra-
ton Democrat anywhere who has yet had
the courage to speak out on this interesting
topic plainly and straightforwardly and
without some reservation as to the 'logic
of events which may possibly make Clevc
land indispensable to the party. The long
expected letter from Buzzard's Bay on the
subject of a third term is not likely to be
forthcoming until good many more
Democrats than Watterson tell the truth
about the folly of third term in his
vigorous fashion.
