RECORD OF DEMOCRATIC PARTY ENTI
TLES IT TO SUIT ESS.
The following tribute to the Democratic
administration in Maryland is from the
recent speech of Senator Hayes. N\ e trust
it will receive the attention it deserves:
“Is the Democratic partyentitled to suc
ceed in the coming election? I affirm it is. i
and point to its splendid record made in
the conduct of the State Government as a
confirmation of my affirmation. No State
iu this Union can show a cleaner and bet
ter record in any respect, and especially as
related to the economical and honest ad
ministration of State affairs, than Mary
land's since the control hy the Democratic
party of the State Government. The
credit of the State is equal to that of any
nation in the world. Her officials arc
faithful and trustworthy. The taxes for
the support of the State Government are
honestly and judiciously disbursed. Few
er States have a lower tax rate. The sink
ing funds are preserved with a fidelity that
bespeakes a fc Mug of sacredness as to the
amounts set aside to pay tbe public debt.
The entire public debt is not much over
$:l. 000,000, after deducting the productive
assets. This debt can and will be beyond
doubt entirely paid within the next four
years and Maryland will be the only State
in this Union without a public debt.
The great bulwark of civilization, moral
and intellectual development, the free
schools of Maryland arc admirably man
aged, with a system as to efficiency and
thoroughness nowhere surpassed.
Our fellow-citi/.ens who, from that large
and thrifty class of workingmen who rep
resent labor, one of the important factors
in the producing power of our State, arc
protected in the enjoyment of their rights
against any improper privileges or en
croachments of capital—the other element
in the producing power. So that in Mary
land labor and capital go hand in hand
with no clashing of their respective inter
ests and rights.
Could there he reared to the Democratic
party a mightier monument than such a
record? The fidelity with which the affairs
of our State have been administered by
the great party of Jackson, Jefferson and
Cleveland is one of which wc may lie well
proud, and to which we may, with confi
dence, point as the reason why success
should come to that party and its candi
dates in the coming election.
There are two object-lessons which 1
desire to present to you as illustrations of
the real interest the Democratic party
takes in the saving from needless expen
diture or loss the public moneys paid by
the taxpayers of our State:
1. In 1802 the United States returned to
the States, as a gratuity, the war tax, which
the States had been required to pay during
the war. Most of the Northern, Middle
and Western States received their quota.
Maryland received nearly $300,000. Every
State in this Union hut Maryland permit
ted this unexpected fund, or one picked
up, as it were, to he squandered in appro
priations to the many uses which an
amount so suddenly and unexpectedly re
ceived creates. Maryland had many sup
posed urgent entreaties for appropriations
for this fund, but the Democratic party
withstood them all, and safely passed into
the State Treasury the whole amount, and
to its full extent paid off so much of the
put die detit.
3. No merchants ever exact orexpeetto
receive anything in the way of interest
from their variable monthly balances in
hanks, and seldom do. The Democratic
party to-day, through the efficient Treas
ury officials, not only receives interest on
this changing monthly balance of the State
funds in the banks, but actually from the
interest so received pays the salaries of
the Treasury officials. The Comptroller
of the Treasury, in his report for IHOo,
says; "The sum received during the last
fiscal year from that source (interest on
monthly balances) U more that sufficient
to pay the salaries of the Trcasury officials.’
These arc few of the things to which
wc can with pride point as Democrats. |
Many more could he given if time per- (
milled and it was necessary. I
A party so true to the public welfare is
entitled to the public confidence.
One of the most beautiful and symetri
cal buildings which adorns the great city
of London is St. Paul's Cathedral. Its
builder was Sir Christopher Wren, a great
i ■ j
and go id man, who had spent a long life
I “ V
in good deeds and works. As yon pass
through this Cathedral and behold the
monuments to England’s heroes and en- j
joy the beauty of design ami execution of 1(
this great structure you v.onder who had {
The genius to eoneeive and the power to |
construct this magnificent edifice. As von
q
pass out the north door you are attracted
by a simple tablet over it on winch is in
scribed the name, date of birth and death
of Sir Christoper Wren and these words, t|
“Reader, would yon behold his monument s
look around yon.”
I may be permitted in imitat’on of this j,
inscription to say to the people of this
great State, irrespective of party, would
you behold the monument of the Demo
erat party erected in Maryland, then look
around you and see things, some of which u
I have mentioned, the results of its wise
■administration of your government. ri

Mu. Eorrou: —The time is at hand for |
harmony and peace in onr partv. Never i
has quarreling one with another effected
any good. Such thoughts are suggested
hy the parade of complaints against the
leaders of the Democratic party, through
the columns of some of the press of the
State, who wish to be recognized as friend-
Iv to the cause. We hear and see in print
expressions of anti-Gormaiiism. clubs un
organized upon that plan and the issue
made, and the sole issue, is the defeat of
the Senator. The very papers, and some
of the very men, who are now engaged in
this untimely and unnecessary, not to say
unjust crusade, forget that a few years ago.
they were trumpeting the splendid and
patriotic performance of the Senator in
aiding so materially in the defeat of the
force hill. No man in public life lias been
truer to his friends and to the democratic
party, upon its great principles, than Sen
ator Gorman. In this respect he may he
termed the Tribune of the people. But
we did not purpose to write a eulogy up
on the Senator, but simply to call to the
mind of our readers, what these enemies
of the Democratic party are doing. Sena
tor Gorman is not an issue in the ling
campaign. There are greater issues at
stake to the people of the State than the
mere election of a United States Senator.
The election of his successor will not take
place for almost three years from now, yet
his enemies taking advantage of what they
deem an opportune time, are endeavoring
to lead the minds of the people away from .
the real issues, and the paramount (pies- |
lion of the hour. It is time now that
Democrats should take counsel one of an
other, it is no time to he hnntingafter sub
jects for trouble and matters that will
create divisions in onr ranks. As we have
so often reminded onr readers, in this cor
respondence, now is the time for demo
crats to get togetner, not to divide. The
Republicans are organising, and much of
their faith in the success of the campaign,
is built upon dissensions and differences
in the ranks of the Democracy. Are they
to be encouraged in the hope, hy these re
peated assaults upon onr leaders wherein
they are termed bosses? Will not Un
people dismiss all this tirade as the vapor
ings of the same set of men who for years
have been trying themselves to boss tin
democratic party? Is it not after all the
threshing over of old straw, of which Un
people have long since tired? This is after
all the entire reason of the story.
Now then is the time and the oppor
tunity. for the masses to come together,
and make a determined fight for that party,
whose principles strike nearer the best in
terests of all the people. We have said
that the question for the passage of a law
for the reassessment of the property of Un-
State will lie the burning question. This
is without doubt true, but tlie clamor for
the passage of such a law is not as univer
sal as it was four years ago. Yet we be
lieve that a majority of the people will de
sire it. and a legislative ticket will he nom
inated and elected favorable to that meas
ure. As yet there is no definite express
ion as to the choice of this county for
Governor. That question will be soon de
termined as the time nears for In 1 I n ; Un-
State convention. Looking over the field
of the aspirants there will lie a lively fight
in convention for the honor. Mr. Haves
is making a vigorous campaign of tin- coun
ties. and it is not at all unlikely that onr
people will have the honor of a visit from
him. He is in earnest and is making
friends wherever he goes, as he we’.l de
serves because of his candor, and his in
tense earnestness fora reassessment of tin
property of the State, we believe is what
is needed. The inequalities arc very great,
the free list is too large and the property
that escapes taxation altogether is believed
to amount to millions. Under these cir
cumstances such a la.v is to be wished for.
A tax at best, is a most grievous burden,
and it is a debt that is hard to pay. Yet
our people are ready to acquit themselves
of their obligation, when they know tin
payment of it is necessary to carry out Un
provisions of onr State laws. But Un-s
--will hail even the least relief, and they aren
entitled to it, of course there will tie great
objection to the passage of such a law, as
there already is, from those sources, that
escapes taxation or do not pay their just
proportion. Now then, the duty of Un
hour is not to listen to any arguments or
reasons that will distract onr thoughts
from the real, the vital issues of the cam
paign, by following those who are opposed
to the passage of the law, and who set up
these arguments with a view to distract
public attention from the real issue. Let
our people beware then of that class who
are striking at Senator Gorman, for in
nearly every ease he will he found to be
an opponent of the law for the reassess
ment of the property of the State. Sena
tor Gorman is heartily in favor of a reas
sessment law and that is his sin in the
eyes of the chief of his tradneers. H.
OTR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, D. C., May 13.
Nln. Editor: —President Cleveland is
taking things easy and enjoying these de
lightful May days at his suburban home,
only coming in to the White House on
Cabinet days. For the first time in many
months the wheels of the government are
moving without a jar. All the threatening
foreign complications have been peaceably
straightened out, or have readied a si.ige
at which they are no longer threatening,
and onr domestic affairs are all in a prom
ising condition, notwithstanding the extra
time put in hy some people in concocting
sensational stories about the condition of
the Treasury, and the regular weekly news
paper resignation of the Cabinet. If this
period of quietness lasts it is probable that
the President will accompany Mrs. Cleve
land and the children when they go to Gray
Gables for the summer.
The Supreme Court has decided the in
come tax eases, hut the nature of the de- I
cision will not be known until next week, \
unless some enterprising newspaper man
finds away to get at it before it is official
ly announced, as was done with the first
decision. There are surface indications <
that Justice Jackson voted to uphold the
constitutionality of the law. His vote was
practically the decision, unless there has '
been some change among the other eight ’
justices, who were equally divided as to :
the constitutionality of the tax when the ,
first decision was made.
Secretary Carlisle is being deluged with
invitations to make financial speeches in 1
Kentucky, hut he has not yet finally de- (
cided how many speeches he will be able
to make in that State nor at what places
or time they will he made. It is probable
that he will go from the Memphis sound
money convention to Kentucky. ,
Admiral Meade has proven that the ad
ministration had excellent grounds for 1
tearing to put him in a position where a 1
war with a foreign country might depend :
entirely upon his discretion, hy showing I
that he has no discretion. IPs published
interview while in New York not only ‘
shows him to he a man without discretion, 1
but to be what no army or navy officer s
should he—an intensely hitter political t
partisan. It is the opinion of naval offi
eials that Admiral Meade’s injudicious and
hitter public criticism of the government *
has made him liable to lie tried by court- I
martial, under article 230 of the Naval v
regulations, which prohibits officers com
municating, by interview or otherwise; 1
any comments or criticism of any depart
ment of the government. Underthat same <
article a court-martial is to convene next |
week to try Medical Inspector Nershner. ]
upon charges made by Admiral Meade, i .
The personal popularity of the hot headed, i:
but brave and generous Admiral, may be *
sufficient to keep him from being court- i "
martialed; but should any officer of the a
navy make formal complaint against him (
the President would be almost compelled M
to either order a court-martial or an exam- ''
ination as to the mental responsiblilit v of *
Admiral Meade. It is understood that
Secretary Herbert lias asked him for an
explanation. 11
Ex-Congressman Nance, of Ohio, savs
of the political situation in his State: i
“Democratic sentiment is predominately ,
in favor of the nomination of ex-Governor
Campbell. He is for sound money, and II
would make the liest race on account of ai
his personal popularity and good cam- s|
paign ability, and he would draw both ele- al
meats of the party around him, the silver
as well as the sound money men. Of

Williamsburg, Md.
“I cannot praise Hood’s Sarsaparilla
enough for what it has done for me.
About three years ago I had the grip,
which left me weak and nervous with
dreadful pains in my side and all over my
body. I could sleep but little and it did
not seem to do me any good. I felt as
tired in the morning as when I went
to bed. I grew worse all the time. The
doctor said my case was hopeless. He
termed my trouble consumption, and
said I would not live six months. He
claimed the right lung was nearly gone
and my left one badly affected. I had
frequent hemorrhages and short breath.
I suffered in this way for two years, tak
ing medicine all the time. I became so
weak and poor in flesh that life was mis
ery to me, I was about 27 years old but
owing to my weakness my
Eyesight Had Become Dim
so that I could not see to read without

the room or talk much louder than a
whisper. To please mother, I commenced
taking the Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and before
the first bottle was gone my appetite im
proved so that
I Became Hungry
for the first time in two years. I did not
have hemorraghes so frequently. In fact
I have only had two since I commenced
taking the medicine. I have taken nearly
ten bottles and I feel as well as I ever did.

course the party i- divided on the silver
question, hut the leaders arc almost all for
sound money, among the exceptions being
Alien G. Thurman. Jr., chairman of the
State executive committee, and Secretary
Tayloi; hut looking the State over I tind
that the big men ot l lie party arc for sound
inonev, and believe that the democratic
State convention will on sober second
thought so declare itself. As for the re
publicans, they will promptly adopt a res
olntion referring the whole matter to the
incoming republican Congress.”
Democrats generally regard the position
taken bv Senator Gray concerning that al
ledged election of Col. Dupont to be a I .
S. Senator by the Deleware legislature as
the correct one, and believe with him that
the Senate will not allow Col. Dupont to
take bis seat. Even as radical a republi
can as Senator Mitchell, of Oregon, ex
presses doubt of Dupont’s claim. Senator
Morgan, of Alabama, doesn't believe that
Dupont will be seated, nor that the United
States Senate lias any Constitutional right
to question the legality of Gov. Watson’s
vote as Senator while acting Governor of
the State. Senator Morgan also calls at
tention to the fact that only one man has
been allowed during his Senatorial career
to take a seat in the Senate without first
presenting the Governor's certificate of
his election. That man was Roseoe Conk
ling, but in bis ease the certificate had been
sent by the Governor of New York, but
was delayed in the mails. Dupont will not,
it is certain, get a certificate from Gover
nor Watson.

ford ami Jesse V. N. Huyck, a deed of
trust upon certain property in Prince

William L. F. king, or order, two prom
issory notes of that date, one for
payable two years after date, and one for
*S,(KMI payable three years after date.
That said r otes have been transferred
to the plaintiff Martha M. Read, who now
holds them. That said Mahlon Ashford
and Jesse V. N. Huyck, decline to act
further as trustees and to sell the real es

t he object and substance of this bill, warn
ing them to appear in this Court in person
