UNDER A STRESS OF CIRCUM-
STANCES.

The recognized scarcity of Presidential
timber in the Democratic party, is giving
Mr.. Cleveland more prominence as
possible candidate in 1896, than he would
otherwise display.
Whether in the face of the unpopularity
of the idea of "third term" his friends
will be strong enough to renominate him
remairs to be seen.
But certain it is, that all the power of
the patronage of the administration will be
used for his benefit or for such candidate
az he may name.
OF the prominent Journals Of New York,
the Herald is the only one now advocating
Mr.. Cleveland's denomination.
"Where it asks" is the Democratic
leader outside of Cleveland, under present
national conditions, who can take and
WELD the sword of Excalibur? Call the
roll. Summon statesman after statesman
The South is immersed in the morass of
this wretched negro business, and as a
political power swinging on the tail of the
tiger of Tammany. The West bewitched
with silver. New England under the
sophomore lead OF political boys. New
York swayed by Hill, the Robert Macaire
of Democracy. Pennsylvania drenched
with Rcpublicapism-no room for even a
Democratic rat to breathe and swim in that
Niagara flooded State. New Jersey ruined
by the Sugar Trust. German in Maryland
a shipwrecked mariner, clinging to his spar
and drifting toward the breakers. Brice
buried beneath a thousand fathoms of
political terror and dismay. Carlisle
repudated by his own State, nothing
apparently left but to take to preaching
and lead some Salvation Army movement.
Blackburn tossed about in the winds in
restless ectasy.
These are the Democratic leaders and
leaderships. What remains?
After all. The HcrdM may be right, and
the stress of circumstances may compel the
nomination Of Mr.. Cleveland.

VACANCIES IN THE LEClSLA
TURE.

The result of the special election to be
held soon in Carroll county to fill the
vacancy in the State Senate from that
county, caused by the death of Senator
Bennett, will attract more than usual
attention on account OF the close relative
strength Of the two parties in the State
Senate.
From the fact that the language of the
provisions of the State Constitution, rel
alive TO filling vacancies in the Legislature
is vague in its terms, and susceptible OF
several interpretations, much speculation
has been INDUCED whether, the Governor
would take cognizance of the death Of
Senator Bennett and issue a warrant for IA
special election before the assembling Of
the Legislature, or whether he would delay
the issuing of the warrant until he was
duly notified by the Senate of the existing
vacancy.
Section 10 of Article 3 of the State
Constitution provides that: an case of
death, disqualification, refusal to act. eX.
pulsiOn or removal from the county or city
for which he shall have been elected, or in
case of a tie g = @ a warrant of cleo
ton shall be issued by the Speaker of the
House of Delegates or President of the
Senate as the case may be. for the election
of another person in his place, Of which
election not less than 10 days notice shall
be given: = = = and if during the
recess of the legislature, or more than 10
days before its termination, such death
shall occur, or such resignation, refusal to
act or disqualification he communicated in
writing to the Governor by the person so
resigning, refusing or disqualified, it shall
be the duty of the Governor to issue
warrant Of election to supply the vacancy
thus created in the same manner the said
SNEAKER or President might have done
during the session of the General Assem-
bly,"
Some lawyers hold that under this Ian
guage the Governor can act only when
communicated with in writing, and is,
therefore, limited to issuing warrants for
special elections to those cases of resgna-
ton, disqualification or refusal to act. In
case of death, of which the Governor can
have no official cogniZance until after the
body meets and he is duly notified thereof
by the proper officer, it is argued that the
vacancy must be filled by an election held
in pursuance OF warrant issued by either
the Speaker of the House or President of
the Senate, as the case may be. Accord
ingly, Carroll County would have no rep
resentation in the Senate until about the
end of January
Governor Brown, however, has taken q
common sense view Of the language of the
Constitutional provision, and one it seems
that is warranted by practice since the
adoption Of the present State Constitution
in 1867, and will take cognizance of the
death Of Senator Bennett as occurring
during recess, and will issue warrant
for an election of Senator to take place in
December, thus giving Carroll county its
full representation in the Legislature upon
is assembling.

and at present an uncompromising Demo-
crat of the regular variety, recently made
an admission which is, from such source,
doubly significant. He said: "The Re-
publican party has come to power in the
state, and practically in the nation, to
remain for long time. Not only will
United States Senator Gibson be succeeded
by a Republican, but Senator German as
we'll.
'There is at present in certain quarters
talk of a reorganization Of the Democratic
party. The sources from which it comes
are such as to excite only the disgust of
Democrats who have now settled down in
reconciliation to a coming Republican
regime. These Democrats are not respon-
sible for the conditions that exist, and feel
that they can stand them as well as those
who brought the change about. Whatever
comes, they are not going to worry them
selves, and will regard Republican rule
with entire indifference when the alterna-
tive is the domination of pseudo Democrats
who pirate of reorganization. Democrats
will, of course, on principle, seek the per-
petuation of their party organization, and
will agree to anything that may be done
on the basis of fair primary elections. But
those who sold the party out will not be
accepted back into its counses unless on
probation, even though the penalty is con-
tinued Republican supremacy. For my
part | expect Governor Lowndes to give
good, conservative and successful admins
tration."

THE belief is rapidly gaining ground
that Mr.. Reed will not encourage any at
tempts from Republican members of the
next House to introduce tariff bills. The
coming Speaker has not expressed himself
to anyone in opposition to tariff bill, but
it is the impression which has been gained
by the members who have discussed with
him the possible program for the session
which is about to open. There appears to
be a conviction on the part of Mr.. Reeds
friends that he would prefer the passage of
only some simple measure, which will
raise enough revenue to bridge over the
present yawning chasm existing between
the governments receipts and its eXpendi-
lures, and that he believes any attempt at
a complete tariff scheme on distinctly Re-
publican lines would be Il waste Of time
with the present complexion of the Senate
and with Mr.. Cleveland in the White
House.

DEMOCRATIC regulars down the Eastern
Shore are not particularly jubilant over the
prospect of success in the coming judicial
and Congressional contests.
The successor of Congressman Miles in
the First district, composed of the eight
Eastern Shore counties below Cecil will
be chosen next fall, and in 1897 an entire
new bench will be elected in the Second
circuit, composed of Kent, Queen Anne's
Caroline, Talbot and Cecil counties, to
succeed Judges Robinson, Wickes and
Stump. Judge Wickes will reach the aye
limit next year, and his successor will 10
voted for then, unless the coming General
Assembly extends his service. A petition
is already circulating for that purpose.
