Whilst the result of our recent election in
Maryland in favor Of the Democracy wa
not as sweeping as we had anticipated,
nevertheless it was great triumph. Whilst
we gained in some portions of the State,
notably In st. Mary's and Allegany, for
years two of the strongest and almost
impregnable bulwarks of the Republican
party, we lost at important points, and
but for our perfect organization, Napo
leonic in its formation and In its execu
ton, we would have been routed, "horse,
foot and dragoon." The enemy was
thoroughly and solIdly entrenched behind
money bags, despite Of their denials. The
leaders were In position TO call for any
amount upon the Sugar, Standard Oil and
Steel Trusts, and the call was honored-
recklessly and lavishly dead loads OF money
were spent. not in brbing our people, but 10

1t was a great vlctory-true, We lost here

trusted lieutenants, but what great victory
was ever achieved in any battle worthy oil
