A Welcome to Senator German.

Democrats all over the country feel that
the great Democratic victory is due, in no
small degree, to the untiring watchfulness
and wise direction of the campaign by our
United States Senator, Hon. A. P. German,
chairman of the National Democratic Execu-
tive Committee. He has been called and
with good reason, the Napoleon of the cam.
paign. Cool, determined and dauntless,
nothing seemed to upset the equilibrium of
his mind, and he was always ready with
sound advice in every emergency. He was
emphatically the right man in the right place,
and all honor to him for the splendid part be
took in leading the forces of reform and hon.
est government to victory.
On his return to Baltimore, on Wednes-
day, he was enthusiastically received by a
parade ofseveral thousand Democrats.
Mayor Latrobe, chairman, and Speaker
Thorn, of the House of Delegates, chief mar
shall, welcomed him home by appropriate
speeches. Senator German responded in an
eloquent speech, thanking his friends for the
generous reception given him.
"For the first time in twenty -four years, said
Mr.. German, are the Democrats emancipated is
America. This is the victory Of the people 1t
is your victory. 1t was fight against organic
ed capital and the idea of consolidation that has
been ruling this government for twenty years
But now the government comes back into your
hands and you will keep 1t if you are true
Americans, as l know you are.
"For the part l have taken in this contest
your generous words and splendid cheer are all
a fnrth frnp, 60
do my duty as Democrat, never looked for
any reward except that my own people of Mary
land might say well done, thou good and faith
full servant
"Marylaud Oh, how love Maryland! The
single ambition Of my life, the only ambition
today, is to represent Maryland, and no other
constituency. [cheers and cries, you SHALL
Maryland has done glorious work in this cam
paign. Wherever the battle was hottest there
were our citizens, glorious band, like unto
the old line of the revolution that never faltered
and never swerved. In West Virginia, Indiana,
New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, the sons
OF Maryland have been found In the van, nobly
doing their part. In addition, let me tell you
now, that when we made an appeal to the people
for the necessary funds, there came from Mary
land more than from any other State in the
Union except New York. | come back to you
prouder of our State and our people than ever.
81 beg you will turn your thoughts to the
great work our party has to do. 1t is to correct
the faults of twenty-four years of mls-govern-
ment. 1t is grand task and great RESPONSE
bility, aud every citizen should strengthen our
President in his efforts, and he will require your
aid as you have given 1t to the party in the con-
test. Let us see to it that every interest, in
GLIDING labor and capital, is protected. The
business men of the country won the fight for
u.s. Their interests will be safe in President
Cleveland's hands, and the conduct of the Dem
ocratic party will forever put an end to the
