United States himself. This is a PEE
cRliar trust. The only trust of all the
trusts of the United states formed
under Republican sway, that happen
ed to be in Democratic hands. Then
you can understand what God-send
it was to the Republican party 10
have an opportunity TO strike this
particular trust because its members
were the only Democratic members
that had trust in the United States.
Don't forget one thing. Anybody
that attempts TO reduce the profits of
an enormously rich man or strong cor
poration is gong to be attacked from
top to bottom before he gets through.
| happened TO get on railroad tain
the other day with two very intelh-
gent men. One man was from Mary
land. Thew said: "Gorman you know
you did everything except one right.
! said that was doing remarkably we'll,
and asked what that thing was. You
ought not to have put lax on coal,
they said.
why notg" | asked. WELL they
said, ''you know we all burn coal"
You think this tax is on the coal that
people burnt Mo- There never was
any tax on hard coal. The tax is on
soft coal that goes into New England
factories. applause, There has not
been Democrat from the day OF
Washington down that is Democrat
that ever proposed to put less than 20
cents ton on coal. Maryland has
had some some good Democrats TO
represent her, but there has never
been a representative from this state
that ever voted for less than 70 cents a
ton, and / thought | was doing devil
ish well when | cut it down to 40.
(Applause)
WE ARE ALL HUMAN.
We are all human. All are bound
TO make some mistakes. The only
question is whether the man you send
there is the one to carry out his con-
victions. If | have made any mistakes
in Congress am accountable TO you
when the time comes, and nobody else,
(Applause.) / have acted as | thought
best.
Some have complained because one
or two members of your party have
had too much power in the nomina-
tons. No more flimsy excuse was
ever made by men. With them it is
anything to stab the party in the back.
They even change their politics, and
usually they say that the party has
departed from the practices of Jackson
and Jefferson, which leaves them the
sole guardians of our liberties, and
they stand so straight that they 60

plause( OR say the nominations were
not fair, but never before in the histo-
nv of the state that Democratic tick

have never yet seen the man or the
set of men that could become masters
of the Democratic party of this state,
and the man who measures the intelll.
gence of the people OF Maryland by
the low standard that Mr.. Abel does
will be left as Mr.. Abel is, with nc
associates but Lowndes and his negro
cohorts. (Applause.)
Mr.. German spoke of Mr.. Lowndes
character and accomplishments. de
knew him to be an honest man, and
for that reason, the more dangerous
because of his party affiliations, ne
had been nominated through a con.
spiracy between Edwin +. Abel, OF
the Baltimore Sun, and the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad, who fear that their
large exempted interests will be taxed

Governor of Maryland"
HIRED AGENTS.
Mr.. German continuing, referred to
the hired agents who write lies for the
Baltimore Sun.

said, with malice after thought.

his living, for have come from the
ranks myself, for every man who tolls
for his daily bread, who works tc

employed to stab with their pens the
regulations of men whose shoes they
are not worthy to unloosen are hirec

The Senator closed with an analyst:

rights bill was due to the fear that the
effect of the passage would be felt toe
