MEssRs. EDIToRs As an effort Is being
made at the North to make the people believe that
our good old State of Mary land will desert her
coIors IN the coming campaign and 90 for the OPP
position candidates, beg small space in your
widely circulated journal to show how grOundless
are the hopes Of tho e who may attempt the cacu-
latOn.
In the first place. it may be we'll to note, that in
all local contests, for Governor Legislature,
Congress, etc., Maryland is fall as op: to 90
Democratic as Wing, and in any other than
Presidential canvass, ilay be set down a doubt
full State. Nothing bat n Presidential election
will bring out the full Wing vote Of Maryland. In
1896 Harrison's majority was 1866 in 1910, Har-
rison's majority was 4,796; in 1914, Clay's MAORI
ty was 3 30S; aud in 1913, Taylor's majority was
3,l74. The aggregate popular vote Of 1913 had
increased TO =, so, from 1929 in 1896. Thus
YOU will see that we are invariably Wing on tn
Presidency. The victory Of 1913 was won under
discouraging circumstances, too, for the Wings of
Mary land were almost to a man for Clay, except
few Of the Baltimore leaders, who made on iGde-
penaentT TAYLOR movement, and filling in it, not on

to the Wings, but the lukewarmDess OF many OF
the party toward him calculated to dispTit
them. The Democrats, moreover, had for me"
candidate, by all odds, the mast popular IN Of
htir party in Maryland. Cass has always been
the favorite Of the Locos in this State, aud they
could at any time do more with him here than
with any other man in their ranks. Pierce cannot
poll as many votes under any circumstances. 1t
is well remembered, that just after the nOmina-
ton of Cass, in 1915 he passed through the City
of Baltimore, .homewsrd, and met with public
reception there. At that reception Mr.. McLane
for Mr.. Parkin Scott, or Mr.. Gallagher made hlm
n speech in which he pledged hun the state OF
MARYLAND by 500 majority The Locos went
into that contest here, -whatever their hopes may
have been else HheIe,-wth great ardor and the
result Was that we beat them by about the same
old majority. What is there noe to encourage
