DEAR BEACON Last week was pre-
scented with q copy Of the BEAces. and
was so well pleased with IL. that think
IL Is nv duty 20 congratulate its editors
for their admirable defense Of the prin-
ciplcs of the Democratic party. am
glad, Notwithstanding the fact that Ma
ryland was carried by the Republicans.
and also st. Mary's county, there were
two districts that did not forsake the
party, and they were Leonardtown and
the old historic Island of Sc. Georges.
But let Us take glance over our coun-
try We find the Republican party try
ing TO thrust the burden of taxation
upon the people; and not only that. but
they are trying to fasten upon the peo-
pie the evils Of a single gold standard.
In 1878, when the Republican party was
in power, they secretly demonetized sill
yer without the knowledge of the peo-
pie. BY that act they left name in his
tory which has since been the symbol of
traitors. The men who manage the gov
eminent today will leave names no less
detestable than the traitors, Benedict Ar
mold and Aaron Burr. venture to say
were 1t not for the Democratic party we
would not have any government at all.
To go back to Harrison's administra-
ton, we find when he first came into of
flee, there was surplus of over $780,
100000 in the treasury. When Presi-
dent Cleveland came into Office he found
the treasury bankrupt and business at a
stand still. Therefore, it is the duty of
every American citizen to vote the Dem.
ocratic ticket.
IL this should find space in your good
old paper, thank you very kindly.
Yours truly,

saturday last, the st. Mary's Elecfios
Supervisors met at the Court House
Leonardtown, and on motion of Mr.. g
q. Wathen, Mr.. Joshua Thompson wa,
elected clerk. Mr. T. II. Bond proposed
TO the Board that to avoid the unpleas
antness OF yetoing any appointment th,
representatives Of the two parties ex
change lists and from the three name,
proposed for each district the offIciaIs b.
selected by striking two names from tn.
list. Mr.. Bond contended that this wa.
q compliance with the law as in case oi
disagreement the appointments would
have to be made that way and he. fol
one, preferred to go tothe root Of the mat
ter at once. The Republican members OF
the Board would not accede to this pro.
position. The board then proceeded "a
select the Registers and ex officio Judges
of Election as follows:
Ist District-w. Wallace Dunbar. dem
ocrat; j. Forrest Freeman, republican
2nd-T. Edwin Loker, democrat: AL.
phonso Harris, republican.
srd-Jos. T. Cough, democrat; Francis
+. Graves, republican.
4th-Thos. c. Edwards, democrat: C.
Hayden Russell, republican.
Jth-Josias H. Hancock, democrat :
Aloysius Z. Bowling, republican.
6th-Thomas Dixon, democrat: Thorn
as Jones, republican.
7th-Jas. T. Blair, democrat; John III.
Long, republican.
Sth-Jas. T. Cox, democrat; +. Biscoe
Jones, republican.
9th-CharIes f. Poe, democrat; Rich.
L. Ball, republican.
In the Seventh district, the appoint
ment of 7. Garner Hodges was vetoed
and the republicans submitted the fol-
lowing three namcs-S. o. TennisOn,
John ii Harding, John II. Long. In
the Eight district Edward J. Fish, dem
ocrat, was vetoed and the following
three names were then submitted-Dan-
iel g. Stevens, Jas. T.. Cox, J. Thomas
Fenhagen.
Mr.. Wathen named Enoch b. Abel,
Esqr., for attorney to the Board. Mr..
Bond objected to Mr.. Abel, not on per-
sonal grounds but because the appoint
ment was unnecessary and one that
would subject Mr., Abel and the Board
to the harshest criticism. He further
contended that il was the duty of the
Board to save all unnecessary expense
and that as for the past year the Board
had had no call for an attorney, it was
safe to assume that there was no need
for one now. He further suggested that
MIR. Abel is now Clerk to the Board of
County Commissioners and that there
was constitutional objection to his Sc
lection on the ground that he will be
holding two offices of profit and trust
Mr.. James j. Greenwich entered his pro-
test against the appointment, saying,
Mr. Abel is the prospective Republi-
can candidate for Clerk and it would be
most indicate for him to hold the Office
and that his appointment would be a
- outrage" The appointment was
deferred. The Board adjourned to meet
for examination of appointees on Tues
day, July 20, instant.
