REBELISM CROPPING OUT.

DIR. Mackall addressed the Democrats
at the meeting Monday night. All the
Doctor could say was that he cherished
the hope that the fourth of November
would relieve the country from a gov
eminent which had disgraced the coun-
try at home and abroad for twenty
years. That is just what's the matter.

1901, and they are sore about it.

The Democrats declare in their plat
form that the Republican party has sub
ieCted American workmen to the COM
petition of convict labor. lfCalled upon
to say when and where, the ''putrid
Renaissance" could not answer the
query, the statement being Il solemn
falsehood. But the American working
man who cares to inquire into the good
faith of the statement is invited to eX-
anime into the convict labor system
prevalent in the Southern states, where
democracy reigns supreme and unques
toned. There he will find that the
black men are sent to the pcnitentiary
in droves for trivial offen1es that in the
Northern states would be adequately
punished by fine. He would find that
their labor is leased out to contractors
who are at liberty to employ them at
any form of labor they may choose,
without the slightest regard as TO how
free labor may be affected He will
find that these convict llborers are
treated with measure of inhumanitv
shocking to the moral sense of the age.
He will find that men high in authority
in the councils of the Democratic party,
men that sat in the very convention
that made this false and hypocritical
declaration against the Republican
party, even Il Democratic United States
senator, have grown rich from the in
iquitous profits of this degraded and
horribly cruel convict labor system for
which Democracy is solely responsible
and which Democracy today fosters and
protects.

say about the ''Independent Republi

The Times is now a Democratic paper

independent Republicans are ''teeth and

candidates and laboring to defeat the
Republican candidates, they are no
more and no less than Democrats.

Mrs. ELMIRA LINCOLN PHELPS, who
died in Baltimore on Tuesday at the
advanced age of 81 years, was fam
Gus woman in her day. She attained
great eminence as 4 teacher in New
York and in Maryland, and made fire.
Quent ventures into literature, even at
ter she had apparently finished her
life-work. In her were all the gentle
graces of womanhood united with a
firm will and strong individuality. Dur
ing the war she was one of the women
of culture and high social position in
MARYLAND who remained loyal to the
union. Her son, Charles f. Phelps,
was lieutenant colonel of the 9TH Mary
land regiment and was severely wound
ed at the battle of Spottsylvania. He
was elected to Congress in 1864 from
the district represented by the late Hen
nv Winter Davis, and is now one of the
judges of the supreme bench Of Baltl-

One of the most affecting incidents OF
the recent Cleveland convention was
the lite-size portrait of the candidate
borne to the platform by stalwart arms
of admiring friends as soon as it became
known that his nomination was assured.
1t was a tribute to the virtue and per-
feet purity of Mr.. Cleveland which
brought tears to the eyes of all the rep
resentatives of morality and religion
who made up that assembly and said
to ordinary mortals, ''Stand aside, for |
am holier than thou" But when we
learn the bottom facts of the case We
find that the two men who were con-
spicuous in carrying that portrait were
a couple of notorious New York rascals,
known to every policeman in the city
as "Fatty Walsh and 'Jimmy Oliver, !"
the former now under indictment for
keeping a gambling house, which in
dictment has been pigeon-holed by the
District Attorney appointed by Cover
nor Cleveland. Isn't it about time that
the curtain was run down on this roar
ing farce of virtue?

Tremain, of New York, who was a
member of the executive committee at
the late Independent Republican Con-
ference spoke as follows:
"What does Cleveland represent? His
nomination is an authoritative confession
that the party is unable to muster any
man having a career upon national ques-
lions who represents the whole Demo.
cracy on national issues. Neither Cleve-
land nor his party represents any policy

should Republicans indorse Democracy
