VOTE for Mr.. Hurst for Governor will
be vote to sustain the German Rasin
machine and its methods in Maryland
This year it is fight of the people against
the bosses and every man who has the
good of his State at heart should be found
on the right side. If the machine wins
this time it will adopt such methods as
will serve to pcrpetuate its power for
years to come, and this must necessarily
prove serious injury to the good name oil
our State. The people should assert their
rights at the ballot-boX and rid Maryland
OF the intolerable incubus of boss rule and
machine politics.

THE campaign is nearly over, and Mr.
John L. Hurst stands before the people
to-day in the same attitude that he occu-
pied on the first of August. He is neither
the candidate nor the choice of the Mary
land Democracy He is the candidate and
the choice of German and Rasin, and the
sole issue is whether these bosses shall be
given new lease of power and continued
opportunity for public plumber and promise
breaking next Tuesday. Honest men,
Democrats or Republicans, should vote for
good government. You can't expect it
from German or Rasin.-Ex.

DEMOCRACY ONLY A NAME.
Elkton, Oct. 2l.

Our esteemed contempory the cecil star
in its Issue of Saturday last very clearly
and forcibly defines the issue of pure politics
and anti-bossism which will be decided on
Tuesday next. The STIR says:
Democrats who are independent, who are
Democrats because they believe Democracy
to be the best form of government and
who are not Democrats for revenue only,
recognize in the present condition and con
troll of the party in Marylan anything but
real, true, honest and manly Democracy.
They see naught but the most fragrant
autocracy. Believing in Democracy be-
cause it means the rule of the people they
see their party ruled by dictators while
they love leaders who are true opponents OF
party principles and gladly rally round
them; they dcspisc drivers. They see the
good name OF their party trailed in the
mrc of personal politics and degraded
by the lust for power In the place OF
leaders they see dictators, who set up their
own gildei images and demand the people
to bow the knee and worship them. They
see these same dictatOIs encouraging those
practices that are inimical to honest govern
ment and true citizenship, and they say
this is not Democracy, and Democrats
though we be, we prefer period of Repub-
lcan rule, so it be honest, to any further
masquerading of these men who have stolen
the livery of the party to serve them
selves in. Maryland Democracy is naught
but name, and those who hurrah for it
are political slaves and not political freemen
If it has to pass through the fiery ordeal of
defeat in order topurify it, then let that be
done. Let the dross and mpurity that has
gotten into it be burned out Defeat will
not hurt Democracy; but it means political
death to that which has made it impure.

HUNDREDS OF thousands OF dollars are

EDITOR l.. IRVING HANDY of the Will
min@ton Erly ErcnjHg, who has recently
been doing little missionary work in this
county by making speeches for the German
Ticket, does not seem to have drawn much
comfort from what he recently saw and
Lcard in this State. In II recent issue of
his paper he writes that ordinarily, Mary
land is surely Democratic as Texas, but
Just now many Democrats are in revolt
against the boss domination of Senator
German How far their opposition will
20 is conjectural, but the outlook for Dem
oaratic success is not assuring. 1t is diff
cult to estimate how many Democrats have
determined that the only manner in which
they can end the offensive domination OF
German is by defeating his candidate at
the election. Still, party discipline is
strong III Mary land, and the Democrats
may win. But it will be rebuke to Cor
man and his boss methods, even should TIL
Democratic ticket win by small margin
The Maryland Democrats have declared
that they will no longer submit to the rule
of corrupt and domineering Bosses"

DAMAGE At SILVER CITY,
Many Buildings Wrecked by
the Force of the
Flood.
Every Business Man in the New
Mexico Town Suffered Heavy
Losses.

SILVER CITY, N. Mex, July 23.-Sil-
yer City was damaged by the floods of last
night to the extent of over $100, 900. The
water swept down from the mountains in
torrents, flooding the streets to depth of
six feet. Many buildings were totally
wrecked, and the damage to stock in the
stores was great.
The principal buildings destroyed were
the Broadway Hotel, MorrelI Hall. the
Postofice building and several private
dwellings. Other buildings have been rem
dered unsafe and will have to be torn
down. The Thinner House had the rear
wall washed away, and the fremont
House had three feet of water in the build
ing and one wall gone.
There were several narrow escapes from
drowning, but no lives were lost. People
were taken from the flooded district on
horseback. The water covered the entire
lower portion of the town, including the
business streets. Horses were drowned in
their stables.
The Postoff1ce records for the most part
were saved and a greater portion of the
mail. Valuable libraries belonging to at
torneys and physicians were ruined by
water. The railroad track for fifteen miles
was greatly damaged and five bridges are
gone N the same distance.
Gillett & Sons wit lose $4,000 by dam
age to stock and every merchant sustains
losses from $500 upward by water flooding
stores and cellars. Much damage was
done in the surrounding country, but no
loss of life is reported. Mud to depth of
several feet was deposited in the streets
and huge powders were washed down
from the mountains by the force of the
water. There were three distinct floods
from different mountain ranges, which
combined at the upper end of the city.
Citizens are already pushing ahead with
the work of clearing away the debris and
rebuilding.

MURDERED BY LA MAF|A,
A Series of AssassinationS in
Parishes on the Coast
of Louisiana.
One Man Arrested for the Crimes
That Alarm the italian
Residents.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 23.-The
third of a series of Italian assass1nations
occurred to-day at Elm Hall plantation. in
Ascension Parish, near Donaldsonville
The assassin is supposed to be the same
man, Naska, who fired into the house of
Giordano on Friday, killing three and
seriously wounding four persons. This
occurred in st. Johns Parish. On Mon
day in st. James, the neighboring parish,
and but few miles away from the first
crime, Vincent Uido and wife were way
laid on the public road by an unknown
assassin and both killed.
To-day an italian entered the Italian
quarters at Elm Hall plantation in Ascen-
sion Parish, the next to st. James, and only
short distance away, and without the
slightest provocation fired into the cabin of
Filipe Russo, fatally wounding him in the
breast and also his four-year-old boy. Both
Will die.
The assassin left very plain trail be-
hind him and the Sheriff headed posse
followed the tracks and succeeded in ar
resting near by an Italian, who gave his
name as Salvatore Puglisol. The authori-
ties have every reason to believe that he
is the man who committed the three MUIR
ders in st. Johns Parish, if not the one
who killed the Uidos on Monday.
The Italians along the coast are very
much alarmed over these murders and all
say it is the work of the Mafia 1t is
very evident that the murderer is insane.

MISS JOHNSON RELEASED,
Not Held for Attem pting to
Commit Suicide by
Drowning.
1t Is Said That She Is Of Unsound
Mind and an Heiress Of
This City.

NEW YORK, N. Y, July 23.-Miss Clara
Johnson, the pleasant-looking and mys-
terious young woman who attempted to
drown herself on Saturday, but who was
rescued by Thomas O 'Rourke, a longshore-
man with record as lifesaver, was
arraigned in the Jefferson Market Police
Court to-day. She had been in Bellevue
Hospital, and when reporter had spoken
to her about her rash act, she had replied:
"say, drop it, will you; buy me pint of
beer"
She had given several fictitious adj
dresses, but from some remarks she
dropped the attendants decided that she
is an heiress and the daughter of Thomas
Johnson of San Francisco.
In court she was accompanied by lady
who presented certificate from DR.. Goe-
dake of 300 Second avenue which declared
that the young woman had been patient
OF the writer and that he had treated her
for several months for hallucinations and
attacks of dementia. When under the
influence of these attacks she was perfecly
irresponsible. This certificate was all the
evidence the magistrate desired and he dis
charged the young woman, who left in
charge of her friend, whose address was
given as 205 West TWenty-hfth street.

H0KE SMITHS CAMPAIGN.
He Sounded the Slogan for Sound Money
in Georgia.

He Sounded the Slogan for Sound Money
im Georgia.
GAINESVILLE, GA, July 23.-Hoke
Smith, Secretary of the Interior, began a
brief campaign in the sound money
cause here to-day. He spoke to large
crowd, and said that he should support
the National Democratic platform and
oppose the Populists' platform on the
financial problem. The Democratic con-
vention of Chicago in 1892 voted down
overwhelmingly the proposition to insert
"free," which would have made the party
declare for the free coinage of silver. The
platform was adopted. When honestly
construed it condemned the free coinage
of silver at the 16 to ratio.
Free coinage, he said, would not give
bimetallism, but would give gold dollar
one value and silver dollar another value.
History showed that no legislation was
able to keep the two coins at the same
value. Free coinage, the Secretary said in
conclusion, meant the use of no coin but
silver. The new dollar would be worth
only half as much as the present dollar
and would result in the immediate with
drawal from circulation of $685. 600, 900 in
gold and 1915, 100000 in greenbacks and
Treasury notes. No practical benefits
could be pointed out, but only calamitous
consequences.

Jackson Hole country investigating the
Indian troubles:

MARYSVILLE, WYo., July 21.-By courier
to Market Lake-Scouts who have come in from
the mountains report the Indians in force at
the junction of Granite Creek and Fall River.
All passes into Jackson Hole available to horse
men are guarded by Indians. Captain Smith,
prospector, has just been brought in.
wounded in the breast by Indians. Other pro-
spectors are being driven from the mountains.
Pickets are guarding the various mountain
passes tonight. Forces are equipped ready
for march and everybody is armed.
TETON BASIN, July 22.-Courier to Market
Lake-Here on return trip. Settlers in the
basin are uneasy. 1t is reported here that
mary Indians from Fort Hall are leaving to
join those in the mountains. Indians from
other reservations are reported joining them.
Letters and couriers have been sent to the
jackson Hole settlers asking for aid, and with
those who have responded they will go into
the mountains to meet the Indians tomorrow.
Settlers have given up all hope OF saving their
crops, and are preparing to take their women
and children out of the region.
Governor Richards says that notwith-
standing the disquieting nature of these
messages he will not send State troops
into the field until he has more definite
knowledge of the situation and until ne
learns what success is being met with by
the Indian police in their efforts to have
the Bannocks return to their reservation.

BETTING ON HARRISON.
Colonel Yergason Confident That the Ea
President HiH Be Named.

Colonel Yerqason Confident That the Er-
President WiH Be Named.
NEW YORK, N. Y, July 23.-The cor
ridor of the Fifth-avenue Hotel was
crowded with politicians to-day and two
bets were made that General Harrison
would be nominated again for the Presi-
dency. Ex-Speaker Reed had friends and
Senator "Cushe Davis of Minnesota re-
ceived splendid tribute. Allison was
mentioned, Mckinley had admirers and
Governor Morton had ardent advocates.
The caloric condition of the weather
seemed to give more zeal and enthusiasm
to the politicians, and although several
collars wilted the wearers were not dis
turbed in the least.
At one time the following men were in
the lobby; Senator R. F. Pettigrew of
South Dakota, Ex-Governor Person G.
Cheney of New Hampshire; John Good
now, the Republican reformer, of Mime
sofa; Daniel Magone, ex-Collector of the
Port; Colonel E. s. Yergason of Hartford.
aperennial Harrison boomer; ex-Congress-
man Long of Ohio. ex-Congressman George
West of Ballston; w. L. Proctor, member
of the Republican State Committee from
Ogdensburg; George II. Huffman, editor
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-07-24

Of the Dayton (Ohio) Times; Wilbur F.
Wakeman, secretary Of the informal COM
mittees advocating the increase of mem
bership to the Republican State COM
mittees; General Jere Baxter of Tennessee
w. ii. Ballou, who is afraid that bull
fight may occur at the Atlanta Exposition
in the Mexican village, and Ex-Governor
Rufus b. Bullock of Atlanta, who has a
soft spot in his bosom for the grandson OF
"Tippecanoe and Tyler, too"
The political ball of conversation was set
rolling by Colonel Yergason, who said that
he would wager $40 hat that General
Harrison would be nominated for the
Presidency next year.
81 will cheerfully accept that bet," said
Editor Huffman. They shook hands on
the wager and called in witnesses. At this
juncture Mr.. Wakeman appeared and bet
Colonel Yergason $75 suit of clothes that
Mr.. Harrison would not be nominated.
81 lost four bets on Harrison's election in
1892" chirped the colonel, land now ex-
pect to win everything hack. 1 believe l
have a golent-pipe cinch in betting on
General Harrisons denomination. Does
anybody else desire to bet?"
Editor Huffman, who is stanch Demo-
crat, declared to correspondent of THE
CALL that his party would nominate Con-
gresham Paul J. Sorg beyond a doubt for
Governor of Ohio. 'Mr. Sorg,' he contin-
ued, ''is man of wonderful popularity,
able, and l believe he will win. l know
that Ohio is Republican, but Mr.. Sorg is a
stronger man that General Bushnell, the
Republican candidate. Remember Mr..
Campbell carried Ohio, and Mr.. Sorg can
too"
The friends and opponents of General
Harrison got into friendly wrangle again
over a remark make by Mr. Wakeman, as
follows: "I believe General Harrison to be
the greatest of statesmen when great
things are at stake and the smallest of
statesmen when small things are con-
cerned. Colonel Bob Ingersoll said of him
When he was President he thought it his
duty to become small guard at his post
when he should have been the general in
command or words to that effect"
The foregoing sentence brought forth
Ex-Governor Cheney as Harrison's cham
pion. "I think Mr., Harrison made a
splendid President and he is conceded to
be level-headed statesman. know that
he is not candidate in the sense of seek
ing the office, but should he be nominated
whether he would accept l cannot say
Mr.. Wakeman answered the ex-Gov-
ernor: ''Why, if Mr.. Harrison had any op-
position whatever in Indiana he could not
have the delegation from that State. But
the people there know they stand little
chance of having Republican candidate
named from that State, so they simply
permit the delegation to compliment the
ex-President."
Mr.. Goodnow doomed Senator G. K.
Davis for the Presidency in modest way.
Minnesota" he said, "will be for him,
and think several other States in that
section will also send delegates for him.
He is strong and popular in the West"
Ex-Congressman West praised Governor
Morton and Ex-Governor Bullock chanted
the merits of ex-President Harrison.

West Virginia and New Jersey will be
counted on to send enough delegates to
make a respectable nucleus. Others will
be picked up here and there in other parts
of the country, while the negroes from the
South, with the ex-office-holders who have
been smuggled in under the guise of sup
porters of other candidates, will be relied
upon at the proper moment to spring the
Harrison cry and force his nomination be-
fore the managers of the other candidates
have an opportunity to recover.
