Why don't some of the political

CORN NiSM IN MARYLAND.

The Baltimore Sun is one of the sOundeSt
and most consistent Democratic papers in
the country barring its lapse in behalf of
free raw Materials, yet it is making
earnest and persistent war upon 'Gorman-
ISM continuing to rule Maryland, even if
German succeeds in maintaining his control
at the coming party convention of the
party machinery of the State In an
elaborate article discussing the situation it
says:
Republican victory in Maryland next
November, it il should come would he the
browning achievement of Gormansm and its
ans condemnation. 1t would simply mean
that the Democrats of this State have come at
last to the conclusion that il was better to
temporarily defeat the party in order to per-
manently rescue it from the degrading do
minion of the bosses.
The article cannot be understood other
wise than as advocary of the Democrats
supporting the Republican ticket in the
State election in November, rather than
the Democratic ticket, if dictated by Cor
man for the perpetuation of his rule. Good
Democrats may, perhaps, do such things in
Maryland, but the real and pretended fear
of the negro forces us in Virginia and in
the States to the south of us to make all our
fights in local affairs inside the party s
lines, so that there can be no kicking out
of the traces here, however we may con-
denim what the party authorities do. But
it is different in Maryland. They have
no negro bugbear there.
This being so, nothing could happen to
Maryland that could be as bad as German S
vicious and corrupt ring rule. We cannot
help saying that we hope most sincerely it
may be broken in some way.-Richmond

YOU PAY YOUR MONEY, TAKE
YOUR CHOICE.

We have been hearing great deal about
Democratic harmony of late, particularly
in the organs of the German faction, but it
has been reserved for the Democrats OF
Hartford county to adopt "A new and original
method of securing party peace.
This simple method is to endorse 10th
Mr.. German and President Cleveland, so
that every shade of Democratic sentiment
can be Accommodated.
The plan is based upon that of the
shrewd Snowman: "You pays your money
and you takes your choice.
This admirable method being adopted,
the Hartford County Convention had an
easy task before it.
Mr.. Germans friends being in a major
ity, they studiously avoided endorsing Mr..
Cleveland's administration, and reported
set of resolutions declaring:
That the anmOstics now existing between
the different factions of the democrats of
Hartford county and in the State of Maryland
have tendency to disOrguniHc the party and
If persisted in will not only reduce our ma
iority, but may possibly render uncertain the
result AT the coming election; that we greatly
dcplorc this condition of affairs and do earn
"stly counsel cancellation and harmony and
with that purpose in view we urge every
effort in their power ut the State convention
to secure the nomination Of men of known
ability who have not been 'partisanS of any
faction and who have the confidence of the
whole party; that we call upon our fellow
democrats Of Hartford county not t. he mslcd
10y spccious and unmanly appeals to their
prciudiCcS and passions, but To remember
that the goal of the democratic party, which
means the good of the people, is the greatest
consideration and to secure this, democrats
must be united.
The German majority side thus getting
of its Harmony" hurangur, the anti-Go1-
man element presented its minority report
which the convention equally rapturously
reported:
"Bc it resolved 10y thcdrmOcracy of Hartford

is THIS THE LAWS IMPARTI-
Atty :?

The report comes from Caroline county
that Judges Wickes and Stump having
signed the writ of error filed on Wednes-
day night by the counsel for Marshall Z.
Price, the Governor will grant respite
until October to allow the Court of Appeals,
which does not meet until that time, to
hear the case.
If this be true, why should Governor
Brown extend the Executive clemency to
Price which he denied to Horace Cooper?
Brutal as was Cooper's crime, yet in all
the essential features of cold blooded,
amply planned, and foully deliberate
murder Prices far exceeded it.
Price is white married man, respectable
in parentage and association, reasonably
well educated, and, previous to the killing
of Miss Dean, respected by the community.
Yet he, with malice aforethouGht, delib-
erately waylaid a white school girl of
tender years. with whom he and his family
were on terms of social intimacy, and
cruelty murdered her, almost within the
shadow of his own door.
Unhesitatingly, a court composed of men
of the highest character and strictest
impartiality, after hearing the testimony,
promptly convicted him of murder in the
first degree. He was sentenced, and the
day-July 5th-iiXed by the Governor for
his execution.
Now, new lawyers are taken into the
case who file a writ of error, and for the
hearing of that writ, the laws delay is
secured.
Horace Cooper, black man, rude and
uneducated, after securing convincing
proofs of the infidelity of his mistress, who
was practically his wife as well as legally,
by continued acts of co-habitation, shot
her to death
He was promptly tried, and as promptly
convicted of murder in the first degree.
Intelligent men all over Cecil county,
who did not believe that Cooper's heated
act deserved the extreme penalty of the
law, interviewed the States Attorney, who
with all the jurors who found the verdict,
recommended to Governor Brown the
granting of a respite of few days, that
evidence warranting Communication of his
sentence to life imprisonment might be
heard.
The Governor dillydallied with the case,
and finally refused, and Cooper met his
death on the gallows.
We despise demagoguish appeals to
prejudices of race and color, but it looks
nightly as if race, color and influence
can still secure in Maryland the stay of the
laws execution, which less favorable con-
ditons cannot secure for others.

A FOOLISH STATEMENT.

Congressman Charles +. Coffin is reported
in the Baltimore NcCs, as having said, that
Mr. Masters candidacy is really backed by
senator German and his friends who are fear
full of Mr. Lowndes' popularity, and do not
wish to see him the Republican nominee. In
order to prevent the nomination of Mr.. Lown-
DIES, therefore, the German Democrats are
aiding the Master Republicans in their con-
test, and are doing all in their power to help
them carry the primaries against the friends
of Mr.. Lowndcs."
If Congressman Coffin has been silly
enough to let such "rot" escape from under
his hat he ought to take refuge at once in
the suggestion of his own name, and never
crawl out of his funeral casket
The fact is, that Mr.. James A. Carey
and his friend Mr.. Coffin had supposed up
to this time, that they had so tight mon
opoly of Republican politics in the Fifth
Congressional District that they could put
Mr.. Lowndes' GubernatOrial Groom"
through, without the slightest show of OPP
position.
The unexpected popular strength how
ever developed by Mr.. Malster, has put
another phase on Republican affairs in that
district.
The voting masses Of the people want
Mr. Master, and the politicians are doing
their best to defeat him, Mr.. Coffin being
engaged in this congenial work. at the
request of his friend MIR. Carey.
To break the force of the opposi ton, the
story that Nj German is backing Mr..
Malster has been invented, with the hope
of defeating Mr. Master
The situation in Prince George county
is precisely the same-only more so-as in
Howard county.
The people favor Mr.. Malster, the poll
ticians are opposing him.
The Republican SLATE" fixed up at the
Carrollton Hotel, Baltimore, some time
ago by little coterie of Baltimore poll
ticians, who propose to "run' the Repub-
lican party of Maryland, will, if these
gentlemen are not very careful, be smashed
by the voting masses of the party. As sure
as fate, the people are in the saddle, and
propose to select their own rulers.
The open and well defined contest be-
tween the Bosses" and the voters is now
on in the Democratic party of Maryland,
and the spirit of that contest-popular
opposition to "Rings bosses, " machines,
lotteries, or by whatever name the political
dictation of individuals is known-extends
to the Republican party as well, and
although not so violent an issue, is quite
as well defined as in the Democratic party.

DON'T FORCE HIM

Senator Gibson, we take it, is an honest
hwyer-using that adjective in its subjec,
tive sense-and means always just what he
says.
The Senator it seems, has recently de-
cared that che longs to return" to the
practice of his profession, but for some
reason not clearly understood he is unable
to give up his seat in the United States
Senate.
What possible influence can be so poten-
tial with the Senator as to rob him of his
free agency" and compel him to this
unwilling service?
Or, can it be possible that the spirit of
Self-sacrtice unconsciously preys upon the
Senator?
With all due respect to him, we solemnly
protest against .torcing him back to his
seat.
Senator Gibson has rights that the people
of Maryland are bound to respect.
Next to his life his liberty to pursue
happiness where he can easiest find it, is
his inalienable right.
To force him to return for six years more
to the L. S. Senate, is an unparalleled out
rage upon so worthy a citizen and so able
a statesman.
His State has no claim upon him, that
will justify such sacrifice of individual
and professional interests.
We have no doubt there can be found on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland scores of
prominent men, both Republicans and
Democrats who are willing to relieve him
of his arduous duties in the Senate.
In the name of justice not to say
humanity we protest against forcing MIR.
Gibson back into the Senate.
1t is true the perennial bloom of his
manly beauty would be sadly missed in
that august body, in which the sharp com
mercal spirit of our day, has set up the
almighty dollar, in seats where brains and
genius once sat enthroned, but there are
sacrifices at times too great, for even an
Eastern Shore constituency to ask.
By all means do not force Mr.. Gibson
back to Washington.
Rather let his forceful oratory and re-
splendent genius, awhile glorify his ancient
county seat SO long the Eastern centre OF
Maryland culture and refinement.

their disgust will give aid to the opposition.
Representative Hit, of Illinois, has appar-
emily won his long and at times doubtful
fight for life, and it now appears to be only
question of time before he regains the robust
health he so long enjoyed. He has been i'll
for many weeks, but has grown strong
enough to travel and has gone to the Rhode
Island coast to spend the summer. MIR. Hit,
if he regains his health will almost certainly
be the next chairman Of the House Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs, position he has held
before and which his experience in the
Department of State and in the Diplomatic
Service has thoroughly equipped him for,and
position which may become very promi-
nent during the Fifty-fourth Congress.

the grasp of the Populists, they have, as
usual, put their foot in it by placing free
silver man on sound money platform.
This result can only be reasonably in
terpreted as a rebuke to Mr.. Clevelands
administration, since Hardin, the candi-
date for Governor, is one of Mr.. Cleye-
lands most out spoken opponents, and has
canvassed the State with Mr.. Blackburn
against the financial policy of Mr.. Cleve-
land and Mr.. Carlisle. After the Hardin
straddle on free silver Democrats should
forever close their mouths about Republic

THE Republicans of Anne Arundel have
selected solid Malster delegation for
Cambridge, and topped their selection by
timely and admirable series of resolutions.
The resolutions recite that Mr.. Malster
"by reason of his unwavering devotion to
Republcanism, is the choice of large
majority of Republican voters of Maryland.
He is popular with the working classes,
irrespective of party because he has
worked up from the ranks of the toiling
masses to position where he commands
the respect of capital without having lost
the regard and sympathy of labor" The
resolutions further recite that "the position
assumed by him at the Master ratification
meeting held at Music Hall, Baltimore,
May 81, in regard to reassessment has
secured to him the support of voters who
desire just and equitable taxation of all
classes of property. His declaration in
favor of public schools absolutely, and not
nominally free, and against the system of
appointments which makes the school
system of this State part of the political
machine, have commended him to the
enlightened public sentiment. We believe
