The manifest attempt shown by the
leaders Of the Democratic party in tins
county at the Convention, held here on
Monday to forgive past grievances and
get together for party success, is a wor-
thy example 10 be followed by Republi-
cans or any other set of men anxious for
the success Of an undertaking in which
they may be engaged The leaders Of
the Democratic party Of this county, it
Is well-known, have been estranged, be-
cause of local differences for some time
past. Yea, Ahis estrangement has gone
TO the extent of personal abuse and
aatreds that time will never heal, but
recognizing their duty to their party
whose principles they lovingly worship,
they have shown mos, manly spirit in
striving to overcome personal feelings
for the common good as they see IT,.
Why should Republicans not do the
same? There is, it is true, but little
dissatisfaction in our party, but there Is
some and why not lay it aside for the
welfare of the whole people. In politics
we have no more right to demand alb
solute subservency to our will, than we
have in any other of the many matters
in which we engage iu life. Give and
take is the proper spirit. Compromise
is often the safest road to success. We
are undivided as to principle. We favor
the same measures of political policy
Jealousy only, is the great SIN that mill
tates against the extent of our party vic.
tory, and we should overcome such
pitiable weakness, and form in time fol
a grand party victory. The exampl,
of our political enemies is before us. L
they can get together, after their differ
enees attended with so much viciousnesi
and malignity, surely we will not show
less of such liberal spirit, but will unite
in solid phalanx as in the days of clc
and shoulder to shoulder labor to koeE
our county foremost in the line of Re
publican counties in the State.

The Governor on Tuesday fired anoth-
or Tobacco Inspector. This time lnspec-
tor Mr.. b F Duval, Of Prince Georges
county, was the unlucky individual and
the sause of hisromoval, as alleged, was
the continuation cf practices adopted
and pursued BY the Democrats when
they bad charge of the warehouses. Il
strikes US, that if the irregularities COM
planned of were Objectionable to the Gov
ernor, be should have so informed his
appointees when they were FIRST appoint
ed, so that a reform could have been in
augurated on toe line of the Governors
ideas, therefose to have punished them for
doing what has been done for years by
their predecessors anu approved by the
people was decidedly unfair and unjust
as we understand justice. The manner
Of removal of Mr.. Duval, however, was
somewhat Of an improvement on the way
he cut off the head Of Mr. Naylor In
Mr.. Duvaps case an examination was
first made and charges. leaving out the
question as to whether they were sufi-
cient to remove a good official or not,
we're sustained before removal, but Mr..
Naylor was kicked out of Office without
even the poor privilege of pleading to
the indictment against him. Since the
Governor has awakened to the fact that
50 many of his appointees are unfit to
fill the offices to which they we're APP
pointed, and if the statement in the
Baltimore dailys, as coming from him
are correct as to his jealous desire for
party success, his future course as a
political strategist will be full of interest
and be watched by all Republicans with
anxious patience.
