THE GORMAN PRIM

Out Of a vote Of 80, 600 hut 5000 DEM
ocratic votes We're cast at the Democratic
primaries in Baltimore on Thursday
Commenting on this result the SIN SAYS:
The Democratic primaries or rather the
German primaries in this city yesterday,
presented beautiful example of Demo
cratic harmony. There was no opposition
anywhere to anybody or anything agreed
upon by the machine, and everybody who
voted voted the same way, and like the
mill wheel many went over and over again
What a lovely spectacle of brotherlv love
and unity! But, unfortunately, a very large
majority of the family was absent. They
declined to take part in the lovefeast
They had no Stomach for the stale dishes
that had been prepared for voters. 1T is
not the knowing kind Of CATTLE that are
caught with moldy corn. 1t was the same
old corn, in fact, that has been used for
many years past, and it had a very bad
taste and very bad smell. The wild and
independent cattle OF reform are still KICK
ing and believing in the woods Some
thing fresher and cleaner in the way of
fodder must be offered them il they are
to be tempted back to the Democratic in
closure. This is a case in which the scripture
story of the stray sheep must be reversed in
every particular Yesterdays primaries
seem to indicate that there is but about one
sheep in ever hundred in the machine fold :.
The ninety and nine appear to be enjoying
their liberty on the hillsides of political
feedom. And it will be rather difficult
task even for boss drivers to round them
up for machine candidates. In view of
yesterdays exhibit our friends Of the ma
chine may well ask: so, where are the
ninety and nine?"

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,
CONVENTION.

webb, the Washington correspondent
OF the Boston Journal sends to that news
paper some interesting speculations con-
corning the next Republican National
Convention. 1t has been currently re-
ported that the national committee OF that
party will assemble in Washington in
September, but the correspondent declares
that the present understanding is that it
will meet in November, which is a month
in advance of the period usually selected
for the meeting. The month generally
chosen is December, when Congress is in
session. for the obvious purpose of securing
the cooperation of members of Congress
As to the date of holding the national con-
,ention, it is recalled that it has al ways
been the custom for the party in power to
years. With respect to the place of hold
ing the Republican convention the same
authority announces that the party leaders
think the assembly will be held in some
western city, selection which even those
who want an eastern candidate for Presi-
dent indorse in order to avoid the charge
that local influences guided the convention
on financial questions, should divisions
arise on that score. As to the particular
place, the opinion prevails among those
who have consulted members of the
national Republican committee that Chi
cago will be the favored city, whether T.
asks for the distinction or not.
He remarks, furthermore, that the city
whore the convention is held will he ex.
pccted. as custom directs, to pay the
national committees outstanding il debted
ness, estimated at $4,000 at the least
(which has been carried by few inhuen-
Blal Republicans. 1t is the impression in
Washington that the candidates of both
OF the great parties will be nominateG
before the middle of June next year. The
English people are satisfied with par
liant ntary canvass of only seventeen days
but this country has long been accustomed
to presidential campaigns extending witt
more or less excitement over five months
June has been the favorite month for
the national conventions, the latest con-
rention of the Republican party being held
ON June 2lst, 1892. On two occasions
national conventions of that party were
held in May. The convention of 1850, tn,
second in the party's history, assembled on
May Il. Five of the ten Republican con-
ventions have been held in Chicago. The
Importance of the time and place of meet
ing OF the great party assemblies is doubt
less exaggerated by partisans, though the
local political atmosphere may have inhu
enced the selection of candidates to some
extent.

concern in having Colonel Davis feel in
jured by them?
Besides, the apparent object Of the editor
of the Ne,rs not having been attained, in
his failure, he calls upon the WING to
produce letter from Colonel Davis saying
he approves the resolution.
That is about as absurdly illogical a
demand, as the confused brain of befud-
died organ grinder ever conceived.
The News originally made the affirm
alive declaration that, the resolutions in
question, were an uncalled-for attack on a
gentleman.
The WING denied that statement deduc-
lively, which the Ners can settle by giving
the very evidence it now demands of the
WING.
There is no evidence before the public
that Colonel Davis considers the resolutions
as rejecting on him, only the assertion of
the Ners, and instead of producing a letter
from Colonel Davis to prore what the Ners
only asserts, the latter despairingly calls
upon the WING to prove the contrary.
Our contemporary must certainly see
that his unsupported declare ton is worth
nothing.
Let him produce letter from Colonel
Davis saying he does not approve the reso-
buttons.
The burden of proof is not on the WING,
to prove by a letter, or any other means,
that Colonel Davis does approve them.

HOkE SMITH A MISSIONARY.

Initiating the example of his cabinet
associate Mr.. Carlisle, who rendered
efficient service for Mr.. Cleveland in Ken
lucky, Mr.. Hoke Smith is delivering n
silver folly in Georgia.
The speeches of Mr.. Smith are not by
any means so able as those of Mr.. Carlisle,
yet they 20 quite as far possibly, as the
most determined opponent of the silver
movement could ask in exposing the
fallacies and sophestries of the free coiners
The secretary of the Interior who up to
his advent into the Cleveland Cabinet was
an ardent advocate of the free coinage OF
silver, has been criticised and ridicued for
his radical change of views. The only
answer he has made is that he was mistaken
in his former notions, and that further
study of the subject has convinced him that
the free coinage of silver would be the ruin
of the American people. He, therefore,
announces that he will devote himself to
the eradication of the false doctrines which
he helped to disseminate in past years, and
that he will not stop in the task until the
free silver folly has been disodged in the
South.
Secretary Carlisle has largely paved the
way for the success of Secretary Smith in
his Georgia mission. The capture of the
Kentucky Democratic organization from
the hands of the free silver men was the
most remarkable political achievement of
the year. 1t has more or less disturbed
the free silver Democracy in every Southern
State. If the Kentucky convention had
been controlled by Blackburn and his silver
allies the whole South would have been
swept by the silver craze. But Mr..
Carlisle's victory has called halt on it,
and has given the administration courage
to pursue the fight else here in face of the
strong odds against it. What it has been
unable to accomplish by arguments it has
succeeded in doing to large extent through
the well drilled organization of its office
holders, and there is not now Southern
State in which Democrat holding office or
expecting Office from Mr. Cleveland is not
required to show his loyalty to the admins
tration by opposing free silver
Secretary Iloke Smith las been commiss-
Toned to deliver Georgia from the hands of
the sllverites, who are now as strongly
entrenched there as they formerly were in
Kentucky. They will be led by ex-Speaker
Crisp, and if they shall be beaten in the
Empire State Of the South, the backbone
of the free silver craze will be eflectually
broken, and Grover Cleveland will be the
strongest Presidential candidate of the
Democracy in next years national con-
vention.

CORN is KING.

Last Monday kilograms were received in
New York from all parts of the corn-pro-
duciDg area Of the United States concern
ing the outlook for the crop. The tone
of the dispatches was favorable for a lar,e
yield this year, and experts are of the opin.
ion that the enormous output of corn in
1891 will be surpassed in 1895. Immed-
lately the stocks of the corn-carrying rail
roads began to rise, and the effect Of the
reports was a day of remarkable activity
on the stock exchange.
In this connection it may be stated that
corn is king among agricultural products
in this county. Not only is it universal
staple, but in acreage and value it tran
sends any other crop. The number OF
acres planted in corn this year is estimated
by the Department of Agriculture at Ss2.
3"4, 900. In 1891 the acreage was 76,2O4,-
600, with an average yield of 81 bushels to
the acre. Assuming that the American
cornfields will be equally productive this
year, our country will have ready for
market 2, Do, 20S, 900 bushels of corn next
October. Placing the price at 80 cents a
bushel, which the crop probably will COM
mand, the value of the product to the peo-
pie of the United States in 1895 will be
i, III, 40l OOO-an amount greater than
any two other crops combined.
When it is taken into account that corn
is crown almost exclusively in America,

SAMPLE BALLOTS.

A sample or two of ballots voted on dead
mems names, as practiced in Baltimore by
the "Machine" repeaters at the special
councilman election on april 9TH last, are
worthy of notice.
One of these is the case of the man who
died on election day in the morning before
the polls were opened. One family o.
three, a father and two SONS, all had thei,
names voted on. One of the sons had
been drowned down the bay some sly
months ago. In one case, while one o.
the Republican challengers had gone to
bring a particular voter to the polls, a
repeater came in and voted on the name
and when the red man got to the polling
place few minutes later his vote was
refused by the officers of election.
1t appears that the votes of from 80 to
80 legal voters were refused by the judges
of election for the rea son. a. assigned by
them, that their names had already been
voted on. One of the cases which attracted
special attention was that of the Rev. Mr..
Guthrie, pastor of the Columbia Avenue
Methodist Episcopal Church. When this
gentleman came to the polls to vote before
9.30 in the morning, he was informed by
the Judges of election that his name had
been voted upon and his vote was, for this
reason alone, refused by them.
And vet the crafty leaders of the machine
boast of the fairness and honesty of elections
as conducted under our present Australian
system, than which greater fraud was
never practiced W on "a free people.

ELECTION FRAUDS.

The machine "Bossesn in Maryland rely
upon two classes of voters to carry them to
victory this fall, Il the regulars who vote
as the Bosses dictate and ~ the purchase
able voters.
How they manage the repeaters who
constitute so large a proportion of the
regulars in Baltimore, is forcebly illustrated
by the report of the Elections Committee of
the Reform League, on the special election
held on April 5'h 1895 in the fifteenth
and sixteenth wards of that city.
Our readers will remember that this
election was held to fill a vacancy in the
second Branch of the City Council caused
by the death of Councilman Clark.
To carry the wards for the Democratic
candidate, the entire strength of the
Machine" in all the twenty-five wards OF
the city was centered in those two wards,
the Machine election officers returning
their candidate elected by twenty. seven
votes on the face of the returns.
After patient and thorough investigat-
ion of the election, the Reform League
Committee reports, that 1SS names of
legally registered voters were voted on at
said election by persons not entitled to vote
thereon.
That it is practically certain, though it
is impossible conclusively to prove, that in
addition to these fraudulent votes there
were II other votes cast by repeaters. This
class of votes was cast upon the names OF
persons about whom nothing can be learned
at their registered address, and whose
names were presumably placed upon the
registration lists fer fraudulent purposes
or of persons who since their registration
have removed from the city, leaving no
trace of their whereabouts.
That said election was attended by
unusual scenes of violence and disorderly
conduct, calculated and evidently intended
TO intimidate voters.
That the police at the polls in the pre-
cincts where these scenes of violence and
dsorderly conduct prevailed, and where
repeating and illegal voting We're most
fragrant, exhibited marked reluctance to
arrest the guilty parties, and that where
arrests were actually made the police
magistrate before whom the arrested parties
were tried showed most culpable disposit-
ion either to dismiss the cases against
offenders, or to impose nominal fine.
That the action of some of the Judges OF
election, the Discrimination of the police to
arrest offenders against the election laws,
and the indisposition of the committing
magistrate to perform his duty all combined
to render possible the systematic repeating
which characterized the election, and which
rendered the declared result fraud upon
the electors.
The honest voters of the state have a
fOretaste in this election, of the methods
that the "Machine" will resort to, to carry
the election in November all over this
state.
To be forewarned is to he forearmed, and
the action of the Republican Convention in
Elkton last week, looking to an honest
Ballot and fair count in Cecil county, was
not taken an hour too soon.

notices the big clasped hands emblem at

thus comments:

dieting an easy victory However, an air

tice to Democrats" is the caption of a leader
