the following special dispatch from Balti-
more:
BALTIMORE. MD. July Ex-senator

had "a long conference with Free Ra-
sin and other lieutenants. regarding the
Democratic primaries here tomorrow.
The result Of the meeting was that Mr.

tNfntN-one delegates from thv city. tie re-
turned 10 his home i'm Laurel this evening,
and a friend of his after his departure
said that the programme of the state
convention had been arranged; that the
regular orgaiuZauOn w0rio control #
that nearly all the city delegation would
be IN line, and that State Senator Hayes
for Mr.. German to compromises he would
control All differences that had existed
between the Senator and the city leader
Free" Rasin, were amicahly settled to-
day. and they parted in perfect harmony
and confidence.
The Washington Post is one of the
most ardent admirers that Senator Cor

We have from the Baltimore Sun just

the conference a list Of twenty-one names

FcdeIa al patronage. and the Democratic
voters of Baltimcr re city will have no
more voice in determining whether they
shall or shall not be represented by them
than the voters Of Japan will have in it.
Phe sun reports a gentleman who had
an interview with Mr. German after he
had made his selections as saying. "Mr
German is going to have his wishes car
red out or smash things. Ii is a clear
case OF Gormanism. and Democracy is not
IN it,"
No amount OF argument could make
this detestable case any more ooious
than simple statement OF the facts
themselves makes IL. But 1t is just as
well to mention a few additional facts
10 20 along with these. Judge William a.
Fisher is one of the most honored and re-
spected citizens OF Baltimore. He is a
wealthy man. who can afford TO indulge
his tastes. and he has a strong leaning
towards high and honorable politics. The
people OF Baltimore gave a strong proof
of the esteem in which he is held there
scme years back. In one OF the bitterest
local contests that Baltimore ever had.
Mr.. Fisher was a candidate for one Of
the city judgeships. and he was so well
thought OF by all classes that his name
was put upon all the tickets. and he
was elected judge by practical unanimity.
He served az Judge for several years.
