Personal Politics.

The recent Republican County Con-
vention was an exhibition of personal
politics that was far from edifying. If
there was any principle in the contest
between the two factions it was not Wis
ible. Both parties professed to desire
the nomination of the same Guberna-
tOrial aspirant and to approve the same
doctrines, and the only point at issue
between them was, who should be the
local bosss On the one side Messrs.
Mudd, Abel and Ching and their fol-
lowers were arrayed and on the other
was State Senator Wilkinson and his
adherents. The fight was fought to
faish and resulted in an overthrow OF
Mr.. Wilkinson, due in that gcntleman's
opinion to the fact that a man with a
$3.50 pile can't call an eli 900 bet. Mr..
Wilkinson acknowledged defeat, he sur
rendered the leadership and asked leave
to yield to his opponents ten seats In the
convention which his friends held on the
face oil. the returns. In the expressive
street yernacular he hallooed "nuif, /" but
IL was not sufficient that he should
quietly retire. II was thought necessary
to kick him out, and It was done. We
are not discussing the merits of the case
or expressing an opinion upon its equi-
tics. We are but describing in language
slightly figurative the deposition of q
political leader-the slaughter of man
In the house OF his friends-that we wit
messed in the Court House, Leonard
town, on Monday, July 18th, 1890. Snch
scenes are not confined to any particu-
lar party They are the outgrowth and
the outcome of personal politics in what
ever party personal politics prevails.
The people Of Sc. Mary's may, it seems
TO us. derive salutary lesson from the
occurrence. II shows up our county pol
itics as they ara, and IL is not pleasing
spectacle. Principle is eliminated. To
get an Office and to control the giving
of Offices Is the end and aim of TOO saany
politicians. Our voters need instruction.
In the rudiments of our governmental
system and the basic principles of the
two diverse ideas of government that
are represented by the Democratic and
Republican parties. There is a prin-
ciple involved in politics and IL should
not be overshadowed by the scramble
for Office. Men of convictions, citizens
ofprobity-whatever their party--should
unite in an effort to elevate and purify
our political atmosphere and teach the
rising generation that there is some
thing in politics other than the salary of
an Office. When that is accomplished |
much viii be gained. We trust that the |
st. Mary's Democrats in their coming |
primaries and convention will so con. ]
duet themselves as to demonstrate y
they are actuated by noblcr sep... -ia'

Before another Issue OF the BEACON,
. democratic candidate viii have been
nominated for Governor Of Maryland.
In 81. Mary's county, primaries are to be
held Saturday and county convention
Monday. We appeal TO our fellow Dem
ocrats here to avoid any bitter factioaal
contest; TO permit as little of personal
politics as is possible TO outcrop in the
primary, and to view their political duty
from the standpoint OF our party's well
fare and not from that of selfish interests.
When we have defeated the common
enemy, we can better afford TO quarrel
among ourselves.
