.JO o vV ?DJN r..d?M?, NOV. 13-. 1895 * Object Lesson in Politics. Maryland as a ?erritye Ex? ample to South Carolina. BALTIMORE, NOV. 8.-Hon. Lloyd Lowndes will have a larger list of ap pointmentsto make, more patronage to bestow and greater power when he becomes governor of Maryland two months hence than falls to the lot of the executive of almost any' other State in the Union. In adition to the appointment of purely State officials, it is under the Constitution and laws of Maryland, incumbent upon the gevernor, who has always heretofore been a Democrat, to appoint a large number of county officials whose positions are in other States usually filled by popular election or by au-, thority of the county commissioners. By reason of the negro majority or great negro strength til some of the counties of Maryland it has been the policy of the State to concentrate more and more the government in the hands of the governor. Then, too, whenever a county would go Repub? lican, the Democrats would rush a bill through the legislature taking most of the fruits of the victory from their opponents by transferring the appointments to the governor. In this way, several of the treasurers in tile counties are named by the gov? ernor ; the local school boards, are all named by him ; he also appointed the liquor license commisisoners, police magistrates and justices of the peace for Baltimore city. But, more im? portant then all these, politically speaking, is .the governor's absolute control, through his appointments, of the entire election machinery of. the State. Not many years ago. the election officials were appointed by the county commissioners, but as soon as a county went Republican the law was changed by the domi? nant party of the State until now all ! are named by the governor. With the exception of a few supervisors of electton-minority representatives -Democrats now fill all these berths Taken altogether, Mr. Lowndes will have a small Republican army install? ed in office within 50 days of the j opening of the session of the general assembly next January, the law re gpftfflg the appointments to be made within that period Since Tuesday's election results be came known Democratic officehold ers and their sympathizers have been bitterlydenouncing the unparalleled consolidation of power in. the hands of Maryland's executive. The Jlepub Heans smile and reply: "We have complained unceasingly for 28 years ; now it is'our turn" t?~*f?u'gh:'J''' The Republican army of o? se? he tders will be materially . increased, through Mayor Hooper's, appoint? ments in BaH?raore^?ity, and; the pairos age attached 'jo ^he control of the general assembly. There are about a thousand positious that the mayor ccan fill directly or thiough his appointees. \ The civil service reform plank: of j the Republican State platform is a j subject that Ls interesting that class j of citizens who think"they ought to j hold office under the newly-eiected I State and city government The re? form promised in regard to the regis? tration and election laws ?9 an engros? sing topic among the people general? ly. 'Many leading Democrats openly air their convictions thaT"?nl?s's re foams are introduced, it will not be possible for the Democrats to reclaim the State in the immediate future. On the contrary, -Hon.- 4 Greorge . L. Wellington, the Republican Staie leader, says : * '.The first mission- of the Republi? can pary in Maryland must be to j enact a law to guarantee that every voter of this State shall have a vote, j which shall be honestly counted and properly returned. We must keep our promises, and if we do the Democrats who were witt us this j year will stay with us for years to come." A prominent Democratic politician j smiled sardonically when told of j what 31 r. Wellington had said "The Republicans are mote likely to keep j Maryland in the G. O P. column j through a continuation of the despo- | tic power given to them under our present laws then by weaning over a lot of Democrats through reform legislation. The Republicans have suffered for many years because of the unusual power given to our chief I executive. With the first oppor-1 tunity before them of using that power for the perpetuation of Re- j publicanism, is it reasonable to ex- ? pect that they will throw it away ? ! No, they are much more likely, de spite what Mr. Wellington says, to give usa taste of our own medicine." -- -+~+~-mmm Failure of Phosphates. CHARLESTON, FOV. 6.-They Ashley Phosphate Company of this city made j ? an assignment to-day to Mr W. Brand- j ! ford Frost The Ashley is one of the o!d | lice companies of Charleston, and much ? surprise was expressed in business cir- j des over this action. Io a public statement made by in? terested parties regarding the assign- ? meut they say : "The coming season promises io be , the best io the fertilizer trade for many ? years, aod the Ashley Company had every reason to believe that if left alone for a few months it would not only pay its .oreditors in foll, but do ?.good busi? ness. But a number of its creditors residing away from the city were unwil? ling to to give any possible extension and evinced a disposition which would j have been ruinous to the company " The Tailure is further .attributed to ! the bad season for fertilizers which has just passed. The amount of the Ash- ? ley's obligations is not given to the j public. Bacon's Exposition Guide Book, j Col. Bacon, of tue Edgefield Chronicle, j gives the following directions for ihe guid- j j aoce cf visitors to the Atlanta Exposition. He has been lhere, and koowsNalI about j everytbiug, from the ostrich farm to the 8 tree ts, of CViro, and all the strange sights to be seen there: "If you are a man or woman of the right tone, you go first to the South Carolina exhibit-one of the very worthiest, noblest, j most useful-where Commissioner ,Roche, of Charleston, receives you with great friendli? ness. Thence you co to the South Carolina woman's room, where Mrs. Robertson of Columbia, Mrs. W. S. Tillinghast of Hamp? ton, and Mrs. John E. Bacon of EJgeGeld, welcome you gracefully and make you feel at home.
