At the age of fourteen he put aside
his school books, and, as page in the

years his seniors in point of senatorial

he went into the senate without

DEFEATED HIS OPPONENTS.
The Hardest Fight Ever Expert
enced by German.

CnCco ny
In 1873 the first break in the harmoni-
Gus relations among the triumvirate
came. 1t had been Hamilton's mis-
fortune to fall out with every president
of the Chesapeake IL Ohio canal from
1867 down, and it was his destiny to
break with German also. This came
about when successor to Senator Ham
ilton began to be moOted. Hamilton
was anxious to be returned, but Whyte,
whose term as governor had nearly eX-
PRED, was also ambitious to go to the
senate. The differences between the
senator and the president of the canal
had now grown to such an extent that
German threw his strength to Whyte
and the latter went to the senate.
Mr.. German was in the meanwhile
elected to state senate to succeed John
Lee Carroll and was reelected in 1877.
1t was during this season that he sue
ceeded in adjusting the differences be-
tween the state and the Baltimore q
Ohio Railroad company growing out of
the capitatiOn tax, in which he eXacted
from the company valuable concessions
for the canal. The election OF Whyte
to the senate with Germans help was
really the beginning of the split be-
tween them. Whyte wanted to name
his successor IN the gubernatorial chair,
but the wisdom of the choice was not
apparent to German. Groome was
Whyte's selection, while German fav-
ored Mr. Carroll. Hamilton, however,
had entered the lists and his popularity
threatened to make it unpleasant for
his competitor. Atthe last moment Mr..
German persuaded Groome to Withdraw,
and, after most exciting convention,
MIR. Carroll was nominated.
This was perhaps the hardest fight
Mr. German had ever had, and having
won, it made him the strongest political
factor in the state. In the convention
for Hamilton we're some of the strongest
men in the state, among others John
Richie, of Frederick, Josiah Ii. Cor
don, of Cumberland, George Freaner
and II. H. Keady,of Washington county,
and E. B. Prettyman, of Montgomery
The latter talked far into the night
against time, while the speeches OF
Freaner and Richie were masterpieces
of eloquence. German, however, used
the same kind of masterful strategy
which won him the victory against the
force bill, and Notwithstanding the fact
that Hamilton came into the cOnyen-
ton with majority of the delegates in
his favor. carried the day for Carroll.
1t was magnificent victory in the face
of great odds.

Gave His Genius for Organization
q Chance in the Illinois Cam
paign.
Evidently Senator Douglas found his
young protege very useful and valuable
in the great political struggles in which
he was constantly engaged. The per-
sona relations between them became
more intimate, and the Maryland lad
was cordially received in the family of
the Illinois statesman and became his
private secretary. He was popular also
with the other members of the senate,
and used their good will to have himself
successfully appointed messenger. as
Sistant bookkeeper, assistant post
master, and, finally, postmaster.
When Senator Douglas entered upon
his famous Illinois cam raign against
Lincoln, German was asked to accom-
pany him. Douglas did the talking. and
German did the working. Even at that
time he had developed those remarkable
powers of organization which have
since made him unique figure in ma
tional politics, and he returned to Wash
ington with an even greater hold on
Douglas admiration and confidence
than he had had before. In the Kansas
Nebraska fight, which soon followed,
the calm judgment, physical endur-
ance, and excellent tact of Mr.. German
stood the Douglas Democrats in good
stead, and brought out the full strength
of the friends of the bill by keeping up a
strong and united organization, and de-
feating the efforts of the fiIibusters. Natu-
rally his activity stirred up the hoStil-
ity of the opponents of the bill. and
efforts we're made to have him removed
from the postmastership. Charges
against him we're submitted to Vice
President Breckenridge, WHO dismissed
them as being without foundation.
The election of Abraham Lincoln and
the civil war brought perpleXities to the
Germans. At the outbreak Of the war
Arthur German hesitated for while
and then consulted jefferson Davis as
to his proper course. Follow your
state" said the SeceSsiOniSt leader, and
he did so. When the firing OH Fort
Sumter began lie, like the Douglas fol-
lowers, took sides with the Union.

CAREER IN THE SENATE.
His Fight Against the Force Bill a
Brilliant Success.

SuCCGSSs
At the next session of the legislature
in 1878, the breach between German
and Whyte began to grow wider. They
split upon the selections as United
States senator from the Eastern shore,
Whyte's choice. who was again GroOme,
securing the nomination. Whyte's in
fluence was now constantly growing
weaker, while Germans was getting
stronger. To the political difference
was now added a personal dis
like, which on the part of Whyte grew
to the most intense hatred. Senator
Whyte was constantly charging Mr..
German with trying to GUST him from
his seat in the senate, and there are
many who today believe that but for
this constant drumming Mr.. Germans
thoughts might not have been led in
that direction. However, Mr.. German
being thus challenged to battle. entered
upon the contest with his usual vigor,
and when the legislature met the large
majority of the delegates were solid for
him. Realizing the hopelesSness of his
case Senator Whyte announced his
withdrawal for personal and family
reasons" but big public meeting
which his friends got up for him in Bal
timore induced him to change his mind
and he announced his re-entry into the
canvass. On the following night the
caucus nominated German with scarcely
dissenting voice.

lean industries require.
Often during debate upon difficult and
intricate problems of state or economics
Senator German will interject sem
tence or two containing more wisdom
than the long speeches made by others,
and frequently with more effect upon
the result when the votes come to be
counted.
Upon the death of Senator Beck he
was made chairman of the caucus, and
so leader of the party.

Peter German took the same side.
He was sent by the federal government
to Richmond to attempt to prevent the
passage of an ordinance OF secession by
the Virginia legislature. Gov. Letcher,
however, gave him no chance to fulfill
his mission. Immediately upon his ar
rival Peter was arrested and sent to
Libby prison, where he was kept until
the state seeded. The excitement of
the event and the hardShlps of prison
life affected his health, and he died in
1862 shortly after his release. when
the war closed he became one of the
organizers Of the conservative party i'll
Maryland, which was the occasion of a
third and this time successful attack
upon his official position. Senator
Wade, the president of the senate,
fought hard for him, but ii was of no
use, and he had to go.
German, however, was too valuable
member of the party and too active
man to be long out in the cold, and he
was promptly appointed collector of in
ternal revenues in the Fifth federal
district of Maryland, his sponsors being
Reverdy Johnson, Thomas A. Hen
bricks, Montgomery Blair and several
other conservatives. This was the
starting point of his career in the poll
ties of the state, which finally landed
him in the most honorable position that
a state can confer. Upon Gen. Grants
election he returned to his Howard
county home, took an active interest in
local politics, and in the fall of 1869, at
the age of thirty, was elected to the
house of delegates.
LII the house he quickly forged to the
front as a quick-witted pariamentarian
and a shreWd and energetic worker. In
1872 he was elected speaker OF the house,
and then earned the reputation of being
the best pariiamentarian who had ever
occupied that seat.
In ISL, when Mr.. Whyte was candi-
date for governor, he was supported by
Hamilton who was then United States
senator. The effective work of the cam
paign was done by Mr.. German. Gov.
Whyte. on taking his seat, appointed
him president of the Chesapeake u Ohio
canal The appointment at that time
created a great outcry, as it meant the
displacement of James G. Clark, whose
executive ability was then highly

AS campaign manager Senator Cor
man really stands without peer in the
country. The Maryland campaigns I'M
der his management have been great in
their way, and some of the most brill
liant successes have been won in the
face of the bitter opposition on the part
of members of his own party. The in
dependent campaigns under the active
management of such men as Cowan,
Marshall, Bonaparte, and other power
full men, who were backed by
an almost unlimited supply of cash,
were the most bitter political battles
ever fought here. The most violent
personal onslaughts were on German
aud his friends, and every possible
means which ingenuity could devise
and money could buy were used to
bring about his political downfall.
Through it all Senator German main
tanned his serenity under provocation
that would have driven any other man

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., March 23.-
The convention today resulted in COM
piete rout of the old factions in the
party, and the rank and file took the bit
in their teeth. They had got tired of
machine rule and proposed to speak for
themselves, so when the report of the
committee on resolutions was presented
indorsing the administration of Presi-
dent Harrison, but failing to declare in
favor of his denomination, they, after
bitter and pointed sparring back and
forth, ordered the report recon-
mitted with instructions to the
committee to report in favor
of an instructed delegation to Minneap-
oils by 100 majority. Every prominent
Republican in the state is here, and the
issue was clearly and sharply drawn by
the bosses as to whether the delegation
should be instructed or not. but it was
bad day for states and machines. and
the delegates from the rural districts
decided the matter. and elected dele
gates to suit themselves. The following
were the delegates elected: E. G. Eric
