Governor Browns Administration
From the Baltimore News. March ..

From the Baltimore News. March p.
The Westminster Advocate today takes 0c-
easion 10 speak Of the administration of
Governor Frank Brown. 1t enlarges upon
his economical. clean business methods OF
conducting public affairs; the financial condi-
ton Of the State: his prompt and eonscleu-
tions discharge of duty ia the miners strike
and the Coxey invasion; prudent use OF the
veto power, and the cordial relations culhvat-
ed by the Governor between the executive
and legislative branches Of the government
his close attention TO the duties Of the office;
Jealous labor to promote the public welfare,
aud concludes by saying that Governor
Brown ''has too much gratitude and feels too
deeply the honors the party has bestowed
upon him 10 refuse to serve it when called
upon.
From this we conclude that the Advocate
regards the Governor as a possible candidate
before the State Convention. Opinions may
differ upon the future political status of Gov
Brown, but his tact, judgment, horse sense,
and open and manly style Of dealing witt
official matters and all claimants upon his
time and attention, humble or elevated, are
commended by the people of the State, anS
the Advocates praise is not uncalled for
MARYLAND has had some good Governors; ]
has also had some ''fgure-heads. Governor
Browns career 10 the executive chair rank
high. He has not pleased all the people al
the time. but we belive he has never tired t
fool even part of them at any time.

Those old fossils in the British

for gospel that Great Britain only
occupied Corinto for the purpose Of
showing the United States that the
bottom was out OF the Monroe doc

their hats, for the purpose of hear
ing the echo Of voice peculiarly
dear to themselves. There was no
attempt at the subversion Of a Re
publican form of government in
Nicaragua in that act, and the
Monroe doctrine Is specially levied
at that one thing. Wait until the
occasion for armed Intervention on

refreshing to cast the eye over

9erity as large as the territory of

enc ouraging alike to the man with
che bod or the hoe, the cattleman
and the capitalist. Texas is in 1t
