Democratic city officials will likely hold their

over his veotes, and proceeded to fill the offices
themselves. Capt Noble H. Creager was
elected City Collector, but the Mayor de-
clined to administer the oath of Office to him
on the ground that his election was illegal,

The day before the Republican State Central
Committee met the Baltimore Americaa, Gen. Ag-
nus paper, and the Republican organ of the State,
called upon Mr.. Wellington to resign as chairman
of the committee The american then added;
II he does not voluntarily do this, the Repubh
cans out of regard for their own selfrespec and the
welfare Of the party should tell him that he is no
longer needed Fortunately, matters are rapidly
tending to this end. He started out some weeks
ago to down" Mr.. James A. Gary, and take from
him his position as the Maryland member of the
National Committee, place which Mr. Gary has
filled for years with unquestioned zeal and success
giving of his time and to preserve the organ
ization, from which he has never sought an Office.
What Mr.. Gary and the old leaders have taken
years build up by principle and patriotism, Vel

oolored Voters Protest.

Easton March ls.--Last night the Colored Repub-
lican Club met in Samaritan Hall and adopted the
following report from committee appointed for
the purpose:
Whereas, Having no respect shown us as colored
Republicans of this county, and seeing that the
white members of said party have interest in us
other than our votes,
Resolved That We hereafter intend to look after
our own interests by our own votes. They have
the appointments now but hereafter we viii have
the votes. We also denounee the action of the
county commissioners as to the appointments made
by them as to working roads and other matters
We, as a ace, can depend no longer on the Repub-
lican party. The time has come spd we have
waited long enough and too long already. Our
votes are our own and we have learned that we
must take a more decided interest in them and
hereafter vote to our own interest," and not in the
interest of the bosses. We mean business. Call a
convention and get ready 10 act accordingly Tax
each voter ST. have a treasury to work with and be
independent of the bosses. who have interest in
us only to secure votes and lay aside entirely
until the coming of another election.
Look out for us in 1897 We have from 1880 to
1000 votes in this county to fight with, so that we
are not solely dependent on few white Republic
cans that have no interest in us whatever. There
are facts and have been for the last % years so we
can't make our condition any worse than it is

No Election in Kentucky.

The Kentucky Legislature adjourned on
Tuesday without electing successor to Sen
ator Blackburn, whose term expires on March
4, 1897. But for the stubborness of three OF
four Democrats, who denominate themselves
''sound money Democrats, in refusing to
abide by the caucus decision, Senator Black
burn would have been reelected, the United
States Senate would have had another Demo
cratic member, and the State of Kentucky
would not have been deprived of one repre-
sentative in the upper house OF Congress.
The Governor cannot appoint a Senator, and
the Legislature new One-will not meet
again until December, 1897.
The last days of the session were marked
by unusual excitement, and the Governor
ordered out the militia For this he was de-
pounced by resolution by the Senate, which
is Democratic, and upheld by the House,
which is Republican.

The suns omelet.
Dr.. R. G. MaekalI il oeea Democrat.

Dr. r. T.. Mackhll III Otcu DtulOcIdt-
The Sun in novel role of political chef,
undertook last year to make grand omelet
for the people of Maryland, and its efforts
were crowned with abundant success, sue
cess that might well cause Delmonico's chef
to weep with envy. That famed cook never
bethought the possibility of making an omelet
out of added eggs. The Sun not only con-
ceiyed the possibility but did the cooking
and served up the omelet in two dishes, one
in Annapolis and one in Baltimore city.
For thirty years our Maryland chef has un-
ceasingly proclaimed, in season and out of
season, that Republican hens laid bad eggs;
that the hens were mongrel breed and would
not lay sound eggs. But the great chef Of
the Sun imagined that by adding to fifty thous
and African eggs and fifty thousand Xray
eggs, five or ten thousand genuine reform
eggs, it could get up an omelet that would
satisfy the most fastidious taste of crab
and terrapin eating Marylanders. 1t evil
IDENTIFY imagined that the sound eggs-though
few in number, would leave the whole basket
full of bad eggs and cover up both the taste
and odor. No other grand chef ever under
took such feat in a kitchen. And now we
have the SUMS omelets and the stencil is in
every nostril The chefn his iron sanctum,
with all the appliances of modern science and
art, cant keep it out. He cries out for help,
he calls upon the people to come to his rescue.
He scolds and threatens to throw his omelets
in the cutters of Annapolis and Baltimore
city. He does everything but confess that he
is a miserable failure as political chef, and
that the greatest achievement of his life is
sorry mess of added eggs. cooked by the rays
of the great Maryland luminary.
For reasonable time our distinguished
chef was really proud of his omeet. When
the Eastern Shore law was violated, and
every Republican in the Legislature had vio
lated his oath, he still thought his Annapolis
omelet was good, or that at least its nice
brown color was only little blemished by
the Boss Wellington knife. but when the
crust was removed and the ordoriferous fumes
filed the air of the State Capitol and the City
Council Chambers, then it reached the SIN
office, and it is there to stay.
The mis-led people OF Maryland will not
soon forget either the omelets or the chef
who mixed the ingredients and cooked the
malodorous Dishes 1t is futile at this date to
attempt TO throw the responsibility of its own
work upon two or three Democrats in the
City Council, for not staying the hands of its
own revolutionizers. They are not in the
Suns omelet
1t is pleasure to turn our nostrils from
these dishes to the Democratic Senate of
Maryland, of which every intelligent citizen
may well feel pround.

Independent and Regular.

Much has been said of late of the Demo-
cratic party getting together and the abolition
of The terms Independent and Irregular.
These terms are improperly used. Every
Democrat ought to be both Independent and
Regular. He should be independent in his
action in the party, adhering to Democratic
principles and holding principles above men,
To be "Independent'' means to be free to act
as he pleases and not to be blind follower or
henchman of some other man. To be Reg
ular'' means submission to the will of the
majority and loyal support of the nominees of
the party.
There is nothing inconsistent in being indie
pendent and Regular at the same time, and
all Democrats should be both. The man who
habitually bolts Democratic nominations when
the nominees do not suit his individual tastes,
or when the manner of the nominations are
not according to his individual notions, can
not be reckoned Democrat at all He is
guerilla in politics, an unknown quantity an
uncertainty. To call such an one an 'lnde
pendent Democrat is misnomer. He is not
a Democrat at all, for majority rule is the
very cornerstone of Democracy, and without
submission to it there can be no Democratic
party. Without party Democratic princi-
Piles cannot be upheld and applied to govern
ment. The man who refuses to act with
party because some leader is Objectionable, is
lacking in that true courage that should actu-
ate every Democrat who is such from convic-
ton. Any man can be dethroned whom the
party wants to step down, and the time to act
is in primaries and conventions. To stand
aloof and complain as so many so-called
Independent Democrats have done in Bal
timore, is the act of infants. And to allow
primaries and conventions to be manipulated
in individual interests, and then to vote the
opposition ticket, is an act of folly that will
result in disorganization and defeat.
Be Independent and be Regular. Act
within the party for its best interests, and then
abide by the result.

Hon. John G. Carlisle, Secretary of the
Treasury, is a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for the Presidency. This is no
surprise to the well informed, for it was known
to many when he left the Senate to accept a
Cabinet position that he would be the Admin
istration candidate for Mr.. Cleveland's sue
cessor Mr.. Carlisle is one of the brainiest
men of the age, broad statesman, and hon
est. As tariff for revenue man he stands
foremost among the opponents of Protection,
but upon the financial question he will find
opposition in his party in the South ard West.
He is not as extreme gold monomet,llist as

and silver extremists conld agree.

The Republican State Central Committee
met in Baltimore on Wednesday and did
exactly as Wellington said they would, in an
interview day or two previous. In fact
Wellington seems to be Supreme Boss of the
Republican party, and all the other promi-
nent men in the party are afraid to say their
votes are their own. 1t was said that the
Gary and Master men would fight for delay
and an adjournment of the committee until
after the Legislature adjourned, but Yelling
ton said the committee would transact the
business for which it was called, namely, to
name places and dates for State and con-
gressional district conventions, and it did.
There was some suggestions of dates other
than he had fixed, and some discussion, and
when Wellington thought sufficient latitude
had been given he took hold of matters and
carried his propositions by an almost unani-
nous vote. The greatest opposition amount
ed to only 90 votes, while Wellington had 20.
