GB0WJNG INTEREST.

We are pleased 10 nOtei through ouI GA
changes and otherwise, the growing inter
cat that is manifest with the people who
want good, honest and healthy government
Whilst the meetings reported are not large
and particularly in the rural portion Of the
State, where the farmers and others are
deeply occupied with their divisions and
sub. divisions of labor, there is spirit OF en-
thusiasm and determination which gives
strong and hopeful encouragement Of an
emphatic victory.
The people, the voters, the bold, manly
honest, straight. forward and patriotic mass
es are tired of Republican rule, they want
pure and economic methods brought into
active operation in the administration OF
governmental conduct. Fraud has 80 long
been triumphant, a false, shameful, enor-
nous and runous legislation has been piled
upon the statute books until every energy
of body and mind has been paralyzed be
yond further endurance. A change is de
ieImined upon, a radical change, such one
as will give relief TO the tax burdened and
down trodden yeomanry of the land. II
our meetings are small, II there IS quiet In
every town, city, village and hsnlet-it is
that quiet that precedes the awakening
storm. The people, the voters, are not only
thinking. but moving in the direction of the
adoption of such a policy as will give US a
government Of the people and for the peo-
ple-so light and easy In its operations that
no man will feel It's burden--and admins
tered and directed by men who are capable,
honest, above reproach, and incapable Of a
wrong. 1t has been 80 under Democratic
administrations-it can be re-inaugurated
in the triumph OF Democratic measures.
We have the grandest country on the
globe, beyond description, beyond concep-
ton. With its government wisely, pIu'
IDENTIFY, economically and honestly admins
tered by men who are in touch and sym
pathy with pure and healthtul methods,
methods securing the most good for the
many, we can have the happiest people on
.arll
This condition, however, can never be
whilst mere are so called statesmen at the
head who are lending every energy Of mind
an ft IN legislating for the few at the
expense of the many-in building huge
trusts, encouraging equally huge corpora
tons together with a dsgraceful and profit
gate waste of the peoples money.
In the purest and best days OF this gov
eminent, which were under Democratic
rule, no such hardships existed, no such
wrongs were perpetrated, or even pretended
to be perpetrated.
The people, the voters, have awakened to
a realization of these facts. The Republi.
can leaders are not slow in perceivlng it.
Mark Hanna, wreaking with fraud, dis
honesty and corruption, and the known
emissary and agent OF a like dishonest,
fraudulent and corrupt administration. has
sounded the alarm. Alarm at whatP Alarm
ed lest these stalwart and stately criminals
are ignored and dislodged, and the reins
of government be placed in the hands OF
honest men.
There Is healthy and strong current of
feeling 10 the interest OF better and purer
government growing, which will sooner or
later sweep over the entire country like a
cyclone. There is quiet determination
that the authors of these cruel wrongs shall
be RELOCATED to private life, and that new
men, clean men, men of large brains and
high sense of honor, honesty and patriotism
shall be called TO the control of the govern
ment.
In no section of this broad country is this
current of feeling stronger or more deter
mined than In the old Commonwealth OF
Maryland-it lie heard aud felt from the
mountains TO tide water. In our own con
gressional district and county 1t is noticed
at every point and It will be realized on the
sth of November.
Our young and gallant standard bearer
for Congress Is carrying the flag with be
coming pride and honor. He is making a
most gratifying impression whenever be
comes In contact with the people, and he is
leaving record In true accord with the
cherished and honored principles of De
mocracy.
