FOL Maryland. The white republican
vote there Is not large. The two COM
bined have bean easily defeated by the
democrats time and time again. The
election of a candidate whose supporters
are two-thiids negroes means more or
less OF concession to them, and in shorta
negro lied government. The respect
able white people of Maryland and all
the South understand this fact we'll
enough. The only possible danger of
Mr.. Hurst's defeat would lie in the de.
fiction of q certain class of democrats
who, it is suggested, are going to show
their loyalty to Mr.. Cleveland by voting
with the republicans. That there are
any considerable number of such voters
among Mr.. C%ieveland's friendsin Mary
land we are 10th to believe. MT.
C~leyeland's election in 1892 was &C.
complished only by the united efforts
of all democrats and it is only by adj
herring to regular nominations That
democratic a%scendency can be pre-
served. That Mr.. Hurst was fairly
nominated and is a man of high charac-
ter nobody can question. The only
reason assigned for opposing him is
that Mr.. German was favorable to his
nomination. Is this a ground for bolt
ing a nomination? II MIR. German sup
ports the regular nominee for President,
as he is sure to do, will any Maryland
democrar be at liberty to bolt the
ticket on account of his dislike to MIR.
German? ? This excessive hostility
to Mr.. German we hope ex-
tends to only a few persons. His
relations to the democratic party in
Maryland we do not care to discuss,
| though we believe he has always adj
hered to regular democratic nomina-
| tions and done much to maintain the
democratic party in power in that
State. He has risen to the front by
force of extraordinary political ability.
1t is this that has given him an ln-
| Huencs in the q. s. Senate such as no
other Senator processes. 1t is this
quality that made him the real man
ager of the party in the presidential
canvass in 1884 and one of its special
advisers in 1892, the only victories WOO
by US since the war. 1t is this rare force
that enabled him more than any other
man to accomplish the defeat of the
force bill in 1890. Mr.. Hurst is en-
titled to the full support of his party
and We are glad to see that sensible
and experienced democratic politicians
of Maryland say that there is no danger
of the democrats losing the State this
fall. Maryland was indeed once held
by the republicans, but only by the aid
of bayonets and an Infamous system OF
disfrauchisements. Relieved from these
manacles she passed to her natural and
proud position in the democratic
column, and there we believe she will
permanently remain.

A young republican from Fredericks-
burg, Va, who held a federal Office un-
der the last administration of that par
ty and who has been s%ojourning a year
or more in Pittsburg, Pa, came here
to-day. He expressed great delight in
being able once more to return to his
people here and in Virginia, and gave
loud expression to the disgust which
filed him at much that he had obsery-
ed and experienced while away. Ne
groes, he said, were fully and freely
admitted to social equality with the
whites in Pittsburg and other cities and
towns in the North; that they. ate,
drank and walked arm in arm together
without let or hindrance. When ask
ed if, as q Virginia republican, he
couldn't become reconciled to that sort
of q thing he replied no, it was beyond
the strength of his stomach, and es-
pecially 30 as there was no pay OF
other regard in sight just now for such
a nauseating dose. By this ne clearly
meant his willingness to swallow the
negro if he could get republican rule
and his official pay restored; but the of
fee murs in his case accompany the
negro. No Office, no negro, for him.

Not ShtStless. hut Polite.

A Boston young man who once took O
riding journey of five weeks in South Car
olina speaks with enthusiasm. of the po-
likeness of the farmers and other plain
people with whom he stopped from time
to time. On one occasion he took dinner
at q farmhouse and afterward sat upon the
front porch, talking to his host and think
ing to postpone his departure till tho coI
of the evening.
The southerner kept examining the sky
as if apprehensivc of storm and looked
with dismay at his crops scattered over the
fields, evidently fearing that they would
be ruined.
''What a piece of southern shiftlessnessl"
the Bostonian said to himself. ''This lazy
fellow prefers gossiping to working, al
though the probability is that his crops
will be ruined before nightfall!"
After awhile however, the idea came
into the northerner' S head that perhaps his
host felt it impolite to leave guest, and
so sat asking the news from the north and
telling humorous anecdotes, while longing
to get at his crops
No sooner did the traveller arrive at this
possible explanation of his hosts conduct
than he bade him q cordial but brief fare
well, sprang upon his horse and rode away.
Turning in his saddle moment later,
he saw his host with pitchfork in his
hand dashing at full speed round the cor
ner of the house to the barn, that he might
get out his horse and set to work. -

A Bears Nose.

A sportsman's life was once saved by
his knowledge of one of the physical pecul
iarities of the bear. General Hamilton,
who tells the story in his Sport in South
ern India, was out on bear shooting ex
petition with brother officer. The beat.
ers drove the bear from his hiding place,
and shot from the officer threw him on
the ground, but he got up with grunt
and made off.
As the bear passed an open bit of ground
General Hamilton again fired, but missed,
and the beast turned upon him. When he
was within few yards, the general gave
him the other barrel AS this did not stop
him Hamilton started to run, but tripped
over rock and fell flat on his face
The bear was upon him instantly, and
the sportsman, looking over his shoulder,
saw into the bears mouth as the brute
made grab at him. The animal caught
him by the thigk and pinned him. Know
ing that bears nose is very sensitive,
Hamilton hit him several hard blows on
the nose. The bear, unable to endure the
pain, let go, and before he could get hold
again, Hamilton was up the hill
His companion ran up and killed the
bear by a ball through his heart But the
bears claws bad laid open Hamilton s
thigh to the bone and he was in bed for a
month
