THE Inquirer has heard the news
from Maine, but does not say a word
about the latest returns. Democratic
gain, 1900, and large Democratic in
crease in the Legislature. If the In

that, it had better employ the fellow

4 BIG GUN FOR JUDGE sHARswOOD!
The Greatest Radical Lawyer i'm Penn
SyIVania, Declares for the Democratic
Nominee.


The great criminal lawyer, DA-
VID PAUL BROWN, esq, of Phila-
delphia, has just published pamphlet
in which he advocates the election of
Judge Sharswood. Mr.. Brown is one
of the most radical of Radicals, and
"spits upon" the Democratic platform,
but goes for Sharswood as the best man
that could be named for Judge of the
Supreme Court. In the course of his
pamphlet he says: ...
"The fact of Judge Williams being
but fOrty-siX years old, may be the
ground of a presumption that he, by
due efforts, may live to be an eminent
judge, but we are to rely rather upon
facts than fancy. We have in Judge
SharsWoOd, the assurance of qualities
that in the case of Judge Williams, at
the best, we have only the promise of.
Which, then, let me ask, would be the
more reasonable choice? 1t takes
twenty years to make lawyer, and
even then he has something to learn.
A good judge would require nearly all
that time on the score of mere legal
competency, and he should necessarily
improve during that time, in his apti-
tude for business, in his self-cOntrOl, in
his temper and demeanOr, for all these
things enter into the formation of his
judicial character. Now, can it be sup
posed that with the few years that
Judge Williams has occupied the bench
at Pittsburgh, having comparatively
limited jurisdiction, that he could have
derived those advantages in the for
nation of a Judge, which were nee
essarily acquired and fully exhibited
on the part Of his antagonist during
more than twenty years?
In conclusion, allow me to say that
for the reasons suggested, l shall vote
for Judge SharswoOd. In doing so l
do not feel that shall compromise my
principles as thorough national Repu0-
Hcd1-in acting OtherlOise, | should car
ry with me the consciousness of doing
injustice tOa meritoriOus man, and ofin-
tiicting a causeless and a cureless wound
upon the purity, permanency and IN
tegrity Of the Judiciary. My term OF
life is short, but the lessons of this day
may last-in their pernicious and cor
rupt influence-unto the latest posteri-
ty. Let the people, then, think Of this, dO
Chdt hey belieUe to be Right, and Stdhd
firmly by their moral as tCeU as their p0-
Wicdt .taih.

Maryland Throws Off the Rad.
ical YOkel
THE NEW LIBERAL AND DEMOCRATIC
CONSTITUTION ADOPTED BY
$4,000 MAJORITY!

On Wednesday, 18th inst, an election
was held throughout the State of
Maryland to ratify or reject the new
Consti ution framed by the late Con-
vention. The Constitution of 1864,
was forced upon the people Of Maryland
by a minority, assisted by federal bayo-
nets. That ins rument disfranchised
large body of thecitizens of the State,
and gave the minority power to rule the
majority. The adoption OF the new
Constitution, repeals that odious and
tyrannical instrument, and restores the
power of the State government to the
hands of the majority. This is the end Of
RadicaIism in Maryland. Even the AL
legany district, which last year elected
Frank Thomas to Congress, by l 800 ma
jority lowing to the disfranchisement of
several thousand voters in the district, J
now gives upwards of 1000 majority
for the New Constitution. Allegany
county gives about 800, Washington,
200, Carroll 200, and Frederick 300 maj.
Baltimore city gives 10000 majority
for the new Constitution. The Radi-
Gals made fierce fight against it, but
they have been routed, "horse, foot and
dragoons." Let us take courage from
this. Pennsylvania can, also, and must,
ha radnnmad
