CHIEF-JUsTICE CHASE has at last
taken his place in the ranks of the dem
ocratic party and should receive a cor.
dial welcome from every member of the
organization. During the past five
years he has synpathised with the sen.
timents of those democrats who had the
forecast to appreciate the fact that no
other battles, in which the democracy
had anything to gain, could be fought
on the battle fields of the past with the
weapon of dead issues. The power of
the Bourbon element Of the party, how
ever, kept him on the outside of the
democratic organization refusing him
admission unless he would stultify him
self and proclaim TO the world that his
past political uttcrances were false and
merited execration. But at the mo-
ment the lamented Mr.. Nallandigham
couragcously proclaimed the doctrine
of a rei"r" to the true principals Of the
democratic party, and left the bone of
the dead negro issue to be guarded by
the Bombons, Mr.. Chase appreciated
the fact that the spell of the old mas
tiers of the democracy had been broken
and that the party was safe for the fu-
turc. If the new departure" shall
drive from the democratic party men
like Toombs and Davis and bring to ii
men like Chase it will be blessing to
the party as well as to the country.

The Hon. John Van Lear Mcmahon,
who died at Cumberland. Nd. on the 10Th

said TO have offered him the choice of any
office in his gift save one. The Baltimore
american says of him
There was depth and power in his
voice that but few speakers have possessed
Addressing an audience of ten thousand
people in the open air, every sentence that
fell from his lips could be distinctly heard
Possessing enthusiasm and humor, and
wonderful versatility of manner and fclic-
ity of expression, his campaign speeches
were the abest and most effective ever de-
livered. lie contributed more than any
other man to build up the jackson party
In Maryland, and when he left the party
upon the United States Bank question, he
delt it many telling blows. In the CAM
paign of 1910 he took most conspicuous
part. lie presided ut the great ratification
meeting held on the Canton race-course,
when Clay and Webster and Preston made
speeches. 1t was upon this occasion that
Mr.. Mcmahon began his speech with the
famous sentence; Every valley has its rll,
every mountain its stream, and 10! the AVA
lanche of the people is here!
He was the author of "A history of Mary
land, of which only one volume was pub

partial loss Of sight, returned to Cumber-
land, his native place, in which AMI Dal-
