BOTH SIDES HARD AT WORK.
Election Day VIII Close MaryIand's
Most Exciting Campaign.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
BALTIMORE, Nd, October 2G-The
headquarters Of both political parties have
been thronged today. and the echoes of
the campaign are heard on all sides. Both
parties are exarting all their energies to-
ward making their work during the final
week of the campaign as impressive as
possible, and election day will see the close
of the most exciting political struggle ever
fought in Maryland Both sides profess
the utmost confidence as to the outcome,
ard each party is asserting that its entire
ticket will be elected. 1t is generally ad-
mitted that Mr.. Hurst is the weakest
member of the Democratic ticket, and
while conservative democrats believe that
their city ticket will win, they fear that it
will be at Mr.. Hurst's expense.
The republicans are confident that al all
events Mr.. Lowndes will be elected, and
IN any OF them do not hesitate to predict
that landslide awaits the democrats.
The friends of Mr.. Henry Williams, the
democratic candidate for mayor, are said
to have objected to Senator Germans MAX
ing any more speeches in Baltimore. Mr..
Williams is generally supported by the
state ticket, and they object to Mr.. Will
Jams and the Senator appearing on the
same platform. Hence it is said that the
senator Will not speak again in the city,
but VIII confine his efforts to the counties.

WHY THEY BOLTED

AND THE TARIFF.
Commercial Gazette Says the ex-
President Had Nothing to Do
With MckinIeyism.

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The execu-
tive committee of the good govern
ment clubs issued an address today
setting forth their reasons for op-
posing the fusion ticket. They say
that if the committee of fifty had
effected union on non-partisan
platform in support of non-political
candidates it would have been ac-
ceptable to them. The address con-
tinueS:
THE committee Of fifty disregard
ing the resolution under which it
was appointed both from the lead
ers of the Republicans and of the
Democracy by promises of money
and moral support, made certain
admirable judicial nominations. The
other places on the ticket they con-
ceded to be party spoils. So long as
the honorable and wealthy men of
this city are wiling to lend the
weight of their names and the power
of their resources in such traffic in an
attempt to purchase government
from the politicians we shall have
corruption by whatever party name
it may be called
The argument for the fusion ticket
is said to be 'tchoice of evils" one
which was used in 1890 to gain sup
port for the Peoples Municipal
league, and because of which $4,000
voters stayed away from the polls.
Says the address: "The people
of this city cannot close their eyes
to the fact that the committee of
fifty has made an alliance with
Platt. They remember that last
winter Platt's machine refused to
grant police reform, defeated all eff
forts to reform the public schools,
derided the very principle of civil
service reform which Republican
representatives had embodied in the
constitution of the state and rejected
a simple and effective ballot law, and
imposed upon you a law framed to
disfranchise Independent voters and
facilitate jobbery at the polls"
