Senator Smith of New Jersey has resigned from the Democratic Ma tional and State Committees because he believes that the conduct of the campaign should be in the hands Of those who are in accord with the Chicago platform with which he edoes not agree in certain respects. He says, however, that he does not in tend to set up his individual views against the expressed policy of the Democratic party, but on the con. trary bows to the will of the major ity and declares that ssthe people may safely trust Democratic Pres ident and Democratic Congress for whatever legislation may be nee essary to the welfare of the couu- try.

Think It Over.

Why should Governor Lowndes be
denounced for standing by his party
leaders? Did he not boldly declare he
intended to keep Maryland in the Re
publican columns in 1896? What is he
to expect from conservative course?
1t was claimed that the only object the
reformers had in voting the Republic
can ticket was to administer rebuke
to Senator German and that next year
we would put the State back into the
Democratic column. All, gentlemen,
It's easy topull down, but always diff
cult to build up. Mr.. Lowndes will
have a new police bill, if he can secure
it, and fill Baltimore city with parti-
sans of the worst type, if he can effect
it. What cares he for campaign prom
ises, especially when the keynote was
pitched little too high? Think it
over, gentlemen of the independent
and reform school,
The citizen. (Frederick City, Md.) 1895-1923, 1896-02-21

The Baltimore World of We'd
nesday last, says it has no tears
to shed over the annihllatian that
threatens the Republican party of
Maryland at the next election. But
1t regrets most deeply that the men
sent to Annapolis aud TO the City
Council, in the interest of better gov
ernment, have so far forgotten their
pledges and made the slogan of reform
a disgrace.
The members of the Legislature
seem of no more value to the people
as an element in the movement for
better government than SO many wood
ell Indians. They have frittered the
time away and the people are paying
the freight. BY their acts they have
laid a mine under their party which
the people will fire next November,
unless there is an instant change for
the better. The methods of the Legis-
lature are neither good politics, good
sense or futillment of party pledges.
Do the members of the Legislature de-
sire to be branded as guilty of party
perfdy."
Isn't there some one man in the Re
publican party, be he member of the
Legislature or not, who has sufficient
sense to go down to Annapolis aud
lead the wandering wits there in the
way of good politics and the fulfill
ment of party pledges? II there is, for
heavens sake let him start for Annap-
oils at once.
The members of the Legislature are
laboring under the same delusiou as
the Republican members of the Coun-
Gil, that the avalanche of Nov. 5, last
was Republican victory. 1t is a de-
fusion they will be wise to brush away.
The result on November was a peo-
ple's victory. The Republican nomi-
nees were merely the instruments IN
the hands of the people used to rebuke
a disreputable horde that have been
feeding and fattening at the public
crib for years. The Republicans were
sent to the Legislature to accomplish
specific reforms, not to build up new
political ring or to dole out patronage
To Republicans in pay for party servi-
ces. Mayor Hooper was elected to Sc
cure TO Baltimore city government
dominated by honesty and business
methods regardless of politics, and the
Republicans were sent to the City
Council to support him, not to de-
mand that all the offices shall be filled
with men who are stepped in Republi-
canism.
The World regrets, in the city's in.
terest, that men have been chosen to
the Legislature and Council who have
so little regard for their pledges and
welfare of State and City, that they
will show fealty to party before their
government. Bear in mind, gentle
men, that if defeat is your portion,
that you are alone to blame. for the
people are getting pretty thoroughly
disguised.

The Decline of A. P. A.-ism.

There is q lesson for some people
here at home in the fact that the a. P.
A. organization, says the Baltimore
Evening Ne,0S, which was some time
ago quite powerful, in the west is rapid
ly going to pieces. In Kansas City,
where it had considerable influence in
politics, and was by many regarded
with fear, it is not only distinctly on
the decline, but apparently cannot sur
vive much longer. In fact, as is al
most inevitable in such societies, vlo-
lent jealousies and disseusions have
arisen; ambitious leaders have stirred
intrigues. and, conyulsed with these
disorders, the main body has been
rent and an independent faction has
come INTO being.
1t is significant that the "Indepen-
dent A p A" as the new enterprise
is denominated, has begun business on
a modified and more liberal basis.
The new order, it is officially stated,
is to be formed "along broader lives"
than the old; its construction will for
bid absolutely the introduction of po-
litical issues and religious intolerance,
will be a less prominent feature.
There is but little more hope, however,
of the prosperity of the child than of
the parent. for the essential principles
of all such organ cations are wrong;
are opposed to the fundamental idea
of our institutions, and they can never
thrive among free people.
A society like the A. p. A. which
attempts to Ostracise a citizen on ac-
count of his race or religion, is but an
organized conspiracy, and must do its
work in the dark, which arrays public
sentiment against it at once. Mystery
is bound to excite distrust, and no hon
est man will look with favor upon po-
litical methods that are characterized
by stratagem and stealth To every
individual is guaranteed by our Consti-
tuition the right to worship God as he
pleases-or to refrain from worship,
should he so desire-and the political
party which seeks to interfere with
that right simply courts ruin and de-
struction.

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 10Th, 1896.
When the farce of the Electoral
Commission was over, and the frauds
that placed Hayes in the White House
had been cOnsummated, there was one
man amongst the Democrats who had
resisted every threat and every blan-
dishment to make him vote for a bill
unknown to the Constitution, and
which yielded up the right of Demo-
cratic House to choose the President,

was that great Democrat, Senator
Eaton, of Connecticut. So every DEM
ocrat of the State of Maryland, who
belongs to the unterrified log, l59 that
voted for Hurst, can stand up and
point.t the finger of ridicule at those in
dependent Democrats who thought re-
form would come from shedding the
life-blood of the Maryland Democracy.

measure has even got on its Legisla-
