* 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."

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. But ?f you are a low person, which
r you are apt to be if you are a man, you speed
straight over to the Midway Plaisance and
hugger-mugger with the Coocbe-Coocbe
girls and ride on the camel in the streets cf
Cairo."

MEN, WOMEN AND CHILDREN
can always find prize shoes in
our stock. There's nothing
gained by wearing inferior foot?
wear. No one ever saves mon?
ey by doing- so. There isn't
enough wear in a poor shoe to
make it worth while to wear it.
Attempting , to make a poor
shoe pass for a good one is like
trying to make- a quarter pass
for a dollar ; it can't be done.
Our shoes are up to date in
style, handsome in shape, and
appearance, first class in quali?
ty, and low in price. As good
a shoe as ours would cost you
more anywhere else.
Come and see for yourself.
