DESTRUCTION OF SALISBURY.
1913 Buildings Destroyed--Loss About
100000.

A fire broke out in Salisbury, Wicomico
county, on the Eastern Shore, about O clock
on Sunday evening, in the stables of S. Frank
Toadvine. A brisk wind was blowing, and
the flames soon communicated to adjoining
property, and ragged with fury all night long,
DESTROYING building after building, until the
chief part of the pretty and prosperous town
was wiped out 1t was not until o'clock
Monday morning that the fire was completely
under control The work of destruction is as
complete as it is possible to be. The total
number of buildings destroyed was l28, as
follows: One large planning mill establishment
and lumber yard, 55 stores, SO dwelling
houses, stables, hotels, churches, 2
newspaper offices, opera house, postofice,
l bank.
The scene during the reign of the devour-
ing elements beggars description. The streets
were filled with frightened men, women and
children hurrying to and fro, endeavoring to
save what little they could from destruction.
Children, paralyzed with fright, were scream
ing in their mothers arms, and nothing could
pacify them. All the wagons, carts, carriages
and every conceivable vehicle were brought
into use to haul away what could be saved
from the burning buildings.
The town was supplied with steam fire en-:
gines, but the engines were out of order and
consequently the people were defenceless
against the fiery element.
Salisbury was town of about 8, 500 inhab-
itants, and nearly all of the houses were
frame.

Mr. John K. Cowen, late of Ohio, and
counsel to the Baltimore & Ohio railroad,
published in the Baltimore Sun of Thurs
day, at twenty-five cents line, an article
nearly two columns long, giving has inter
probation of the law governing the appoint
ment of judges of election in Baltimore
and has estimate of the character of several
of the appointees. If Mr.. Cowen knew
how little his opinions touching political
matters were regarded by the Democrats OF
Maryland, he would not spend his time in
committing them to paper nor his money
in having them published. If he had
more perception and less ranity his efforts
with pen and tongue last fall, in the inter-
est of the hybrid ticket, would have con-
WINGED him that his influence among Dem
ocrats is very limited.

Hon. James G.. Blaine, with company
of speakers, is now hippodroming in Penn
sylvania, after the manner of his circus in
1884, when he went through the West and
North stirring up the worst passions of the
people and begging for money and votes.
His presence in the Pennsylvania campaign
shows the alarm there over the fate of the
Republican ticket, and is an evidence that
the tide is in favor of the Democrats. At
Gettysburg last Monday, Mr.. Black, the
Democratic nominee for Governor, paid
his respects to Mr.. Blaine. His remarks
will be found elsewhere in this issue.

The Sixth District.

When Mr.. McComas ran for Congress
in 1884 his majority was about 100. He
ran ahead of Blaine, who carried the dis
trict by $50 majority. AT that time Mr..
McComas had everything in his favor. 1t
was presidential year; he was a candi-
date for the usual endorsement the Re
publican party was hopeful of another four
years lease of power; there were host OF
oficeholders to assess for campaign purpo-
SEES and to work actively for the party that
was keeping them in office; having no
hope Of carrying any other congressional
district in the state, the Republicans con-
centrated their efforts in the sixth.
Affairs are changed now. In 1885 Tur-
ner, for Comptroller, had 319 majority in
the district The Republican party, beat
en- in 1884, feels that its hold on the gov
ernment is gone; there are no more good
places at the government table for them ;
McComas, if be elected, can do them no
good, and would have no influence in a
Democratic House. McComas, too, is run
ming for third term. He and his friends
opposed third term for Hon. Milton G..
Urner, and won on that issue. What was
not right for Urner will not be considered
right for McComas by many voters.
Col Baughman, the Democratic nominee,
is far stronger than any Democratic candi-
date that has been put up in that district
for some years. He has a united party
back of him; is good speaker, and an I'M
firing worker. His interest in the canal
employees, paying them in full for work
under his administration and large amount
of overdue wages, putting their houses in
order, &C., will give him large vote among
them and their friends that no other DEM
ocrat could get. His connection with the
coal industries, by reason of his position as
President of the Canal, and his views on
the tariff, have made him strong with the
miners.
The chances, notwithstanding Mr.. Nc
Comas' 1900 majority two years ago, are
favorable to Col. Baughman's election.

The activity of the Prohibitionists and
the inactivity of the Democrats in this
congressional district, have given the Re-
publicans hope of electing their candidate,
and they are zealously at work with that
object in view To thwart their plans,
Democrats must arouse and go to work for
victory. 1t is only necessary to poll the
Democratic vote to insure success, and
efforts should be made at once to have
every Democrat at the polls on November

Hon. Chauncey F: Black feels confident
of his election as Governor of Pennsylva-
mia, and predicts Democratic success in all
his speeches. Pennsylvania elected Dem
ocratic Governor in 1882, and in these
days of rapid political changes, it would be
no strange thing if Mr.. Black should sue
coed. 1t is said the bulk of the labor vote
will be cast for Black, and that the Prohi-
bitionists will draw largely from the Re-
publican vote.

Baltimore Republicans.

The Baltimore Herald, the straight Repub-
lican paper of Baltimore, is disguised at the
conduct of the party in the fourth congress
sional district, and the following extracts are
from its issue of October 18th, from several
articles:
Lost, strayed or stolen-the Republican
party of Maryland.
Hereafter no man should attend Republi-
can primary without at least a pair of brass
knuckles and a slung-shot
In short, the manner in which Wednesday s
primaries were conducted will deserve the
severe condemnation of every true Republi-
can, and the men responsible for the turbu-
lent scenes that were enacted are entitled only
to the scorn of good citizens. A party that
continues to permit its primaries to be SO
conducted may have to wait a good while
before it induces the public to again trust 1t.
The refusal of the majority of the delegates
to join in making a nomination must be char
acterized as a proceeding that no good Re-
publican can approve. The delegates were
elected to nominate candidate, and not to re-
fuse to do so. They were not chosen for the
purpose of depriving the Republicans of an
opportunity of voting for party candidate,
but for the very opposite purpose. By fail
ing to perform this duty the delegates were
guilty of an act of in6delity to the party that
should not soon be forgotten.
