That the meeting was thoroughly in
to. may be judged from the following
description of the scene that followed
when Mr. Sl1ipwith Wilmer. in address
ing the audience. quoted statement
that the opposition to the bill in the
senate all came from four or five men:
A tremendous roar followed this an
nouncement. Name Them Name
themr' Tell us who they are!' yelled
the people Mr.. Wilmer attempted to
mouth. when calls for the names of the
obstructionists broke out afresh. Some
one shouted German" and a sharp hiss
rang out. interrupting for an instant the
calls Of Name them" Name them
Waiting until the calls ceased, Mr..
Wilmer made another effort to continue
his address. I'VE are not here TO ar
raign these''-was as far as he got. An
other storm Of Tell us their Names
Name themr' Who are they" Name
themr broke out again and died away
in a growl. Il would shrink from max
ing an arraignnent Of any man, on
charge of treachery so base. said the
speaker. Then the crowd cheered.
The meeting expressed its feeling for

demanding. among other things, this
trining with a question so vital to the
welfare Of the people shall cease, and
that selfish interests shall no longer be
suffered to stand in the way of the pub
lie good" 1t also adopted unanimously
a motion denouncing senatorial cour-
tesy." and another one demanding that
the Maryland senators heartily cooper
ate in the speedy passage of the tariff
bill The speakers talked very plainly
and pointediy and yet hardly enough so
to suit the Indignation of the audience,
which evidently wanted German and
Gibson roasted" in the most scientific
manner. Mr.. J. Clarence Lane said:
As TO the sentiment of the democrats
Of Maryland, this meeting is a fair eX
preston There is practically unani-
nous feeling that our senators, German
and Gibson, are most outrageously de-
linquent 10 their public trust and gross
~ misrepresent the people of their state.
Mr. NJ. J. Motley. president of the
Maryland division of the Travellers pro-
tective association. said:
We would say to that gallant son of
Maryland Isidor Rayner. who stands
y
true TO his president. true TO his coun-
try. hold aloft the flag Of right and your
constituents will stand by YOU. and so
long as you are true TO the people, we
are with you, and higher honors shah
vet be yours The country is too great
and grand TO be destroyed by a few de-
signing men.
Mr.. W. P. Maulsby, jr.. of Frederick
said:
| cannot respect a senator who advo-
Gates protection in the committee room.
but who is afraid TO do so openly on the
floor. Such a senator should only
awaken disgust and contempt in you.
These are samples Of the sentiments
that called forth the great applause of
the meeting. but the most remarkable
thing connected with that meeting was
the manner in which Senator German re-
ceived information of it from a repre-
sentative of the Baltimore News. The
senator had not heard of any meeting.
which had been widely advertised, and
wanted to know all about it, When en-
lghtened. he said:
well, I'm glad of it. The people must
have something TO amuse themselves
do it as any other. l suppose. / sincerely
hope they enjoyed themselves"
will the resolutions adopted have any
effect upon your action?' ne was asked
Why of course; l always pay the
closest attention to resolutions when
they represent the sentiment of the peo-
pie Of the state and from what you say
this must have been q most representa-
tive meeting. But. do you know, / am
really surprised to hear of it, / wonder
I hon of
force"
There's a long account of it in this
mornings Sun" it was suggested.
Il never read the Sun and I've been
too busy to look over the News. When
you telegraph to your paper just say
that I hope they had a good time at the
meeting last night and that I'm sorry
/ didn't know Of it before"
There is your political boss in a nut
she'll There Is the gentleman who coolly
says. II am the machine. Get into
line" We think he has gone a step too
far this time. Possibly he might have
excused or condoned his outrageous &C
ton on the tariff bill to his constituents.
