Again the great Harvester has come among

sheaf from the fields OF time for the garner
of eternity,
Mr.. Waters was Director of this Bank
from its organization. During all the years
since its doors were opened, he has been It's
faithful and constant friend.
He was man of the strictest integrity,
and in all his connection with this Board
his voice aud vote were always for what
seemed to him to be best.
In his private business he was careful,
conservative and kindly, and these same
qualities shown with conspicuous light in
his official position in the Bank.
His counsels were always dictated by a
sound and wise desire for only the legiti-
mate and safe expansion of business.
His personal relations with the members
of this Board were of the kindest and most
cordial character.
We shall miss his genial personal influ.
ence and his cautions and prudent judgment,
but can only, in silence, submit TO the wise
rulings of Him that doeth all things well.
Be IL ResOloed, That this testimony to
the worth OF our friend and fellow Director
be spread upon the minutes OF this meeting
and copy transmitted by the Cashier to
the sorrowng family of him whom we this
day mourn and whose vacant chair remains
at our table as reminder of the friend and
comrade who has passed over the divide
into the silence of another world.
Be 1t also Resolved, That the aforegoing
preamble and resolutions be published in
the county papers.

A Mistaken Notion.

The Annapolis Republican, in advocating
the election Of Governor Smith as the sue.
cessor of Senator Louis E. McComas, says
John Walter Smith has a greater claim
upon the Democracy of Maryland than any
other aspirant."
The Republican is unfortunate in the
choice of its language. A "claim" implies
q right OF some kind, an neither Governor
Smith nor Mr.. Rayner have any right to de.
mand the Sena torship. They have the right
in common with other citizens, to aspire to
any honor within the gift of the people, but
1t is the peoples right to say who shall rep.
resent them. If the people desire Governor
Smith as Senator McComas' successor, it is
the plain duty of the Legislature to elect
him on the other hand, If the people prefer
Mr.. Rayner, their wishes cannot be disre-
garded by their representatives without a
plain violation Of the trust reposed in such
representatives.
The members Of the Legislature are not
the Democratic party; placing a narrow
construction upon words, they are but the
representatives of the party, aud as such 1t
is their duty to effectuate the will of the
party. That being true, the question re-.
solves itself into the plain one Who is the
choice of the partyH
Cumulative evidence is being furnished
daily that Mr.. Rayner is that choice. The
demand for his election is not confined to
any section or to any particular set of per.
sons; on the contrary, 1t is general, insist.
ent and continually growing. The Democ
racy want him as their Senator. Should not
their wishes prevailr
Upon what theory can the members of
the Legislature refuse to heed the wish of
their constituentsH
1t is not question of Mr.. Rayner's
"claims" nor Gov. Smiths "claims" upon
the Democracy. Neither of these gentle
men has any claims per Sc upon the Democ
racy. 1t is an honor to represent the peo-
pie, and both Mr.. Rayner and Gov. Smith
have been honored, and deserve to be further
honored. But when that is said, all is said,
and we come back TO the fundamental prop
osition that the people alone have the right
to say who shall represent them at Wash
ington or Annapolis.
And looking at the matter from the mar
row standpoint Of party expediency, 1t is
well to remember that 1t is the people who
make aud unmake parties. Their power in
this respect is absolute and final, as past ex
perience has proven. Is it not but party
wisdom to obey their commands S-ElIicOH
