From the Baltimore News, Republican
A change of 80 votes in certain counties in
this state on last Tuesday would have increased
the Democratic membership in the General
Assembly nine. and thus given that party a
majority on joint ballot, and probably led to
the reelection of Senator German. Thus, a
change of II votes in Talbot county would
have elected the Democratic nominees, a
change of votes in Prince Georges would
have elected one more Democrat, a change
of IS votes IN Montgomery county would have
given victory to the three Democratic candi-
dates for the House of Delegates, and Il change
of IL votes in Carroll county would have
elected Grouse, Democrat, over Stansbury,
Republican This would have given the
Democrats "A total membership in the Assem-
bly, of 50. or a majority on joint ballot.

Abel for Senator.

As to the selection of United States Sen
ator to succeed Mr.. Gormitn, the Democrats
are not in it. We would suggest, however.
as Baltimore city carried the Legislature for
the Republicans the Senatorship be accorded
to that town. And as Ed. Abel is more re-
sponsible for the Republican victory there
than any one else, it would be fitting that he
be chosen. He would not amount TO any
thing in the Senate, but he might be coached
to keep quiet and look wise. BY this means
he might deceive strangers sitting in the gal
lery into the belief that he had brains in his
head

Senator German is the most powerful op-
position the Republicans in the Senate have
had to meet for many years, and his retire
ment from that body is cause of much joy
with the Republican press. The Baltimore
Sun is engaged in reproducing extracts from
these Republican papers, but negects to in
dictate their politics. However, this is only
in keeping with the SIMS usual course of
hypocrisy and deceit.

A LOSS TO THE DEMOCRACY.
The Defeat of Senator German as
Viewed by Party Man.

o. o. steaey in Gourier-Journal, Louisville, Ky.
The defeat of Senator German in Maryland
is sincerely regretted by Democrats here.
His valuable services to the good people of
the South in defeatin the outrageous force
measure we're of itself sufficient to always
endear him to the Southern people. 1t was
also Senator German who saved the election
of Mr.. Cleveland in 1884, for had it not been
for his tact and nerve the State of New York
would have been counted for Mr.. Blaine.
These are only two of the many noteworthy
events in the political life of the Maryland
Senator He has always been good Demo
crat, and served his party with fidelity and
courage. For years past he has been the
leader of his side in the Senate, and sustained
his position with ability and diplomacy. Nor
were his party services in the Senate his only
creditable official record, for III all legislative
matters, requiring wisdom and Judgment,
Senator German stood at the top. He is an
honest Industrious. and Woodworking man,
and never idled like so many of our public
men, AN hour away. He won his position in
the Senate, from messenger boy, on the
floor, by his energy and brains. Personally
he is at all times aud under all circumstances
every inch n gentleman. 1t is the fad these
days of eanting hypocrtes and so-called re-
formers to denounce men like Senator Cor
man as party bosses. Would thai the
country had more of such party bosses ms he.
His retirement from the Senate, to perhaps
make room tor another Wellington. is a dis
aster to Democracy.
