are fast organizing into a Well-disci-
plined army of righteousness determ-
ined to redeem their state from boss
ism and thieVery.
Since Isador Raynor was crushed by
the democratic bosses, the German
machine does not possess single ora
tor of ability, single man capable of
stirring the hearts of his hearers. But
the Peoples party has host of speak
ers who are setting the state on fire by
their burning elOquence and the truth
of their cause. First there is William
Toner, the blacksmith candidate for
sheriff of Baltimore county, who is
now speaking every night in the open
air throughout Caroline county. A
masterful physique and Nspoleonic
brow gives this child of the people a
bearing that at once gains the hearts
Of his listeners, and soon his logic and
force of presentation make of each
hearer an abolitionist against the new
white slavery of the producers, and an
enemy of these modern slaVe-driVers,
the republican and democratic parties.
Toner is waking up the natives in Car
Oline county. Robert Golden, the
shoemaker candidate of the working
people for mayor of Baltimore, with a
host of helpers, is stirring up the
masses of Baltimore, and, of the 10000
organized WOrkmen Of Baltimore, 1t is
now certain that not one in ten can be
kept in the old parties. The Workmen
know that the republican party created
the giant trusts that have enslaVed the
people, and are done forever with the
machine that elected Governor Brown,
who tries to save vicious wretch like
Price, but who calls out the militia to
shoot down the poor coal miners who
had laid down their against
starvation wages and for a principle.
Golden is speaking out doors in differ
ent parts Of Baltimore nearly every
night, and the poor, who went without
coal last winter because the coal trust
raised the price, the fathers whose
children went hungry to bed last
week because of the beef trust and the
thousands Of Workmen idle because
monopoly rules our country through
the two old parties, all are joining in
the cause of the cooperative common
wealth against capitalism. The work
ers of Baltimore this year are going to
vote as they strike.
Professor Frank Perry, the only &C.
knOWledged famous phrenologist ever
produced by the Eastern shore, is tray
cling in horse and buggy through
Dorchester county lecturing on the
scientific aspect of the problem and
explaining to the farmers how the
banking interests, by contracting the
currency, lowers the prices Of their
goods and doubles their debts. Perry
is called by many "cyclone on
Wheels" at least his lung capacity is
something phenomneal and his words
flow like river without a single break
or waterfall. Less than thirty years
old, Perry is one of the rising young
men of the new party and has bril-
liant future ahead. Four Of the six
Vrooman brothers are engaged for the
campaign, and two of them are now
speaking continuously in all the larger
towns of the state. Carl Vrooman will
return from Europe in time to assist
in the grand revival to begin at Cam
bridge August IA.
T. F. Seele, well known throughout
Massachusetts, as modern prophet of
God, arrived at SOlomon's Island this
week and is now instituting series of
meetings throughout the st. Msry's
county. He finds the farmers of the
Western shore as sorely oppressed as
were the children of Israel in the time
Of Moses. To deliver these people from
bondage, so he breaches, is a work of
religion, even though political methods
must be used. "The fight for Gods
