BALTIMORE CITY ELECTION

BALTIMORE CITY ELECTION.
The Democracy Of Baltimore, never we
believe, more united. harmonious and de-
termined, are conducting their mayoralty
campaign from an elevated plain with clean
men and pure methods-men and methods
which appeal TO the intelligence and inter.
est Of those who desire to have this great
and growing commercial municipality IN.
der strong, honest, economical, clean and
efficient administration.
Mr., Thomas g. Hayes, the candidate at
the head of the ticket, enjoys an enviable
reputation al home and broad. He lie an
able lawyer, of acknowledged executive
ability, and of wide and varied experience
In business matters. He holds the conf
dence of the people without respect TO his
party feelings or party associates. He is
sincere, honest and eminently qualified 10
formulate and inaugurate those measures
Of reform which are now 90 imperatively
needed for the better government and larger
development and prosperity Of Baltimore.
A candidate so thoroughly equipped for the
grave, arduous and responsible duties that
ever attend the faithful and efficient dis
charge of the Mayoraltyshlp Of large city
like Baltimore, cannot fail OF triumphant
endorsement at the polls.
We have not the slightest doubt of the
election of MIR. Hayes and the balance Of
the estimable gentlemen who make up the
ticket. The meetings now being held are
perhaps the largest and most enthusiastic
ever held in the City of Baltimore. Men of
every grade in lfe-the best men, men from
all business avocations, professions, as we'll
as from the retired and private walks Of life,
are taking an unusual interest-determine
TO wrest the city from the thrslldom of com
bination OF mere spoilsmen. The ladies, God
bless them, always In the lead Of every
laudable enterprise, reform or undertaking,
when their assistance is needed. are grazing
these meeting, chaperoned by the gallant
ex Governor, Hon. Frank Brown, who is
throwing the whole weight of his influence
In behalf OF the election OF the ticket. Who
has forgotten the vivid picture of Joan of
Arc, with her splendid qualities and heroic
virtue, leading the marshaled hosts of France
from victory 10 victory, until she planted the
dropping lilies of her country over fortresses
and cities wrested from the English troops;
or that other picture so wildly sketched 10
Ivanhoe, when Richard Cour de Lion at.

ration is divided between the Black knight,
who thunders with his ponderous battle axe
against the gates, and the gentle kebecca,
who,looking through the lattice with blanch-
ed cheeks, describes the wavering fortunes of
the battle to the wounded Ivanhoe. And
who has forgotten the splendid and glorious
part of the noble, virtuous and Intelligent
womanhood OF the ancient aud halowed
Commonwealth of Maryland and Baltimore
City in former political campaignsH These
meetings are further augmented in interest
from the fact that the best talent OF the city

necessity of needed reforms. There is the

who again aud again has leen brevetted
with honors by his State; the gifted and

Maryland Bar, Hon. Bernard Carter; the

Republican ticket may he good business
men, and in every sense OF the word honest

combination that is dangerous to the best
interest Of the city. Indeed IL is known that
the bed rock of their political organization
