NEW ASSESSMENT. THE ISSUE.

The controlling question i'll the coming
State campaign must be that of reassess-
ment. 1t is the great issue Not only are
the counties demanding it, but Il large ma
jority of the taxpayers of Baltimore city
are clamoring for relief In i; letter adj
dressed to the Democratic Editors two
months ago, Senator Hayes said "The
statement that Baltimore city is against
reassessment is absolutely false and is in
dustriously circulated by interested per-
sons and agents. No party can carry Bal
timore city which is not honestly for Civ
ing relief to the masses from the exces-
sive, unfair burdens of unequal taxation"
This being the case, the Democratic par
win; and the nominee, no matter who he
may be, provided he favors reassessmcnt,
can be elected. The party is fortunate at
this time in having an issue so positive
and practical. 1t is probable that the
names of three or four gentlemen may be
presented to the convention. In fact the
contest for the nomination up to this time,
has been rather remarkable and unprece-
denied, and Il happy solution might be
difficult, if the party did not have this dis
tinct issue upon which to make the fight.
That unequal and unjust taxation exists in
this State, which can be remedied only by
a new assessment. is admitted on all sides.
1t is the sacred duty of the commonwealth
to relieve those who are unjustly taxed.
selves, and, with very few exceptions, will
dodge tax. 1t, therefore, becomes nee
essary for the strong hand of the law to be
invoked to prevent injustice. Taxation,
like lightning, will go where there is
least resistance. Country people and land

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS.


Mr. EDIToR:-The question that will
soon absorb and engage the attention of
our people will be the one, of the success
or defeat of the Democratic party. in the
coming election This will he the great
question as soon as the campaign will be
opened. In most of the counties of the
State the local ticket will be nominated
ahead of the State ticket, so that when the
State Convention on the 3lst dominates
the State ticket, the campaign will he on,
and it will be a fight from start to finish.
There is much dead wood to be removed
III clearing our decks for action. The un-
Just charges that have been made against
our leaders for their action in National af
fairs. have had their baneful and hurtful
effect but these must and will be removed.
This is not a National campaign, but it is
State campaign. and the result must de-
termine whether Maryland shall be hand
ed over to the Republican party, or wheth-
er she will remain in the democratic ranks.
This is the issue, and it is thus unfair that
the minds of the people are directed from
the real substantial facts in the case, and
are sought to be led away. with those who
for selfish ends, are making Il warfare
against the great leader of the party. Why
should any democrat rcf,a ain from casting
his vote for his party or why should he alb
sent himself from the polls at this or any
election: Whom does he injure by such an
act? Can he benefit himself: We fail to
see it. lie may by such course defeat
his party, but what will he gain. Revenge
is sweet SAYS the Poet, but it is the least
effective of personal good, than any of the
many frai indul LICENCES of human nature.
We can see no reason for discomfort, or
lukcwarmncss in the democratic party
There are no complaints or charges against
the state or county administration any
where, and if this he So why the necessity
for change But there is all the reason in
the world why there should not be
