to Lead Against the Alliance.
BALTIMORE. July Ex-senator Germans de-
termination not to take charge OF the national

GRAFTON and after q consultation with other
party leaders in this state. An Alliance craze has
taken possession OF some OF the lower counties.

craft set aloat by Jerry Simpsons disciples
The present condition Of affairs is duo to the
work OF aspirants for Office. who. with aview OF
booming their candidacy. have Influenced tho
granger element Now that they find the
movement has gotten beyond their control.
they call on the leaderwho has 40 often helped
Thorn out OF trouble to como again to the res
cue. The appeal comes not only from the
dependents or Mugwumps. who realize the
danger OF Farmers Alliance Government.
and for once will work hand In hand
with the men they have fought. and under the
leadership OF the man they have vilined and
abused. They appreciate tho fnct that in con-
Quoting the campaign Senator German Is not
helping himself in tho least: on tho contrary,
he may incur the enmity OF people who have
hitherto been among his stnnchest friends:
for all Democrats. regardless Of other affllia-
lions, have openly declared that no matter
what should DO tho result. Mr.. German is to
succeed himself as United States Senator.
So far as Senator German is concerned.
therefore. he is safe enough but the trouble 10
feared in tho selection of tho late Senator vii.
sons successor. The lattor must como from
the Eastern Shore. and in this section the
Farmers Alliance movement Is strongest.
Should. therefore. the gransors succeed In
carrying q majority Of the Eastern Shore coun-
ties. and even concedinG that all OF these shall
be Democrats. the name they may present
might not be acceptable to the city and West
ern Shore men who are opposed TO Alliance
principles. and then there would DO trouble.
1t Is to avert just such condition OF Affairs
task Is not an easy ono. but so implicit Is the
confidence reposed in him that no fears are eli.
testalned rs to tho result.
Tho State Convention will DO hold on July 80,
when candidates for Governor. Comptroller.
Attorney General and . Clerk OF the Court OF
Appeals arc to DO selected. The Secretary OF
State. State Treasurer. Police Commissioners,
and other officers will te chosen by tho Leeis-
lature. According to his promise. Senator
German has kent hands OF. his influence not
having been exerted in behalf OF any candidate.
Frank Brown. late Postui aster OF Baltimore.
appears to have made the strongest fight for
Governor his candidacy being endorsed by
nearly every county In the State. The
city. It Is we'll known. preferred ex-Mayor
james Hodges. but the counties have ma.
jority and SO Mr.. Brown will DO the Demo-
cratic standard bearer. Spencer Jones OF
Montgomery or Luther Gadd Of Caroline will
be Comptroller. State Senator John P. Poe will
be Attorney General. and Frank Ford OF st.
Mary's will probably be Clerk OF the Court OF
Appeals.
The Republicans are altogether at sea They
have not yet arranged for q convention. AID
will find 1t extremely difficult to get candidates.
