r,.Go,ernor Brown And The Baltimore Sun.

From The Maryland Republican,
The baltimore Sun of Friday takes
to task many OF the leading Democrats
OF the State for not calling upon Ex-Gov-
ernor Brown on Tuesday night as re-
quested by the Governor. Indeed, this
would seem to be n great oversight on
the part of many prominent Democrats,
and it is to be hoped that q second in
vitation will not be treated in the same
way. We should much like to know if
The Sun was duly represented at this
meeting, for since the death OF United
States Senator German, the Sun is I'M
doubtedly the strongest Democrat in
the State, and since the death of Mr..
Rasin il can control more votes than
any ten Democratic leaders in Baltimore
City. In fact, even during the life time
of the two dead leaders the Sun was
stronger than both combined
We mention these facts to show the
true condition of affairs in the party at
the present time. Both leaders, State
and City, dead, the party having only
two years ago suffered serious defeat
which prevented the State from joining
the Southern states in DISTINGUISHING
the negro. The Republican party in
control OF every State, north, east and
west of Maryland. with our State and
the State OF Kentucky, the only other
-. Il, kliaon tN
can hope to gain additional victories.
It is therefore up to the Sun, the strong.
est and most powerful voter controller
in the Democratic party, to lead US
Alright and along conservative lines TO a
great Democratic victory which will
anchor Maryland in the Democratic
column for many years. A Republican
victory this year will anchor Maryland
under the banner of the Republican
party with all sails furled and as snugly
into port as the States OF Delaware and
West Virginia Therefore, the most
powerful Democratic leader in the State
should be up and doing in this. the
greatest fight of many years.
The fight will have 60 be made along
conservative lines with due regard to
the interests OF all OF our people. thus the
party cannot hope for victory il its lead
ers continue, Internationally, perhaps,
TO mislead the citizens of our State not
living on the Chesapeake into believing
that gold mine is to be found upon
every acre of oyster grounds where the
oystermen of the county, by increasing
toiI, can hardly make a living for their
families Our leaders cannot afford to
drive the oystermep from the Democratic
party.

Survey of oyster Lands in Anne Arundel.
from The Maryland Republican

From The Maryland Republican,
The surveying of our oyster lands aud
the prospect OF taking oysters from our
natural bars TO sell TO oyster planters.
il we'll calculated 10 excite lively inter
est among our oystermen and citizens Of
our county generally. Indeed, it is safe
TO say thatno oysters will be taken from
any 81 our natural bars to be sold TO
planters Until The present law hos heen
amended, will there be any lands On
which oysters can be grown, opened to
leasing purposes The present law de-
clares no lands shall be leased where
oysters grow naturally and no one will
want to lease land where oysters do not
grow naturally. The Shelfsh Commits
sion may devise all the tests they see fit
and drag their chain over many acres OF
the oyster lands within and adjacent to
Anne Arundel county, but we venture
the assertion that they cannot, by prop
er testimony, prove that there EXISTS
anywhere in these waters ten acre lot
where oysters do not grow naturally,
unless il be in some mud hole or some
sand reef, dry when ever the wind is
northwest. AS soon as this matter OF
what lands can be leased is determined
by the Courts then the cry will go up
for an amendment to the present law so
as to permit theleasing ofoyster grounds
where oysters grow naturally. This will
most likely be the fight before the next
Legislature.

 CINCINNATI. March 15.-Thc worst food in decades threatens the lower Ohio river valley. and it is expected that the sixty-hve foot stage recorded in January will he reached. if not sur passed. Only February. 1884. saw a higher flood mark.
 The worst feature of the present sit uation is the suddenness of the rise. the waters finding many communities unprepared for a repetition of their January experiences. Simultaneous flood conditions at the headwaters of the biz river and most of its principal tributaries caused this condition. the heavy rains for forty eight hours booming all streams above the danger line.
 The Muskingum. Soioto and Great and Little Miamis from the north and the Kanawha. Big Sandy and Licking rivers from the south have not only poured their surplus into tho Ohio. but have laid waste farms and villages along their banks.
