RATLEDGE WON THIS TIME.
ACQUITTED OF A CHARGE OF INTER
FERlNG WITH HIS DEFEAT.

Judge Ball Decides That ne Had Right
to See the Ballots Connted-The Charge
Against Henry Turner Withdrawn-An
Assault Case Goes over.
Last evening the case OF ex-City
Councilman James I. Ratledge, charged
with interfereLes with an election officer
In the Third district of tho Twelfth
ward, on last Saturday, wss brought up
Ia Municipal Court.
The trouble arose over the desire OF
Mr. Ratledge TO see the ballots counted.
and the belief OF the election ofIiesrs
that, ss there were regularly appointed
wa ohers present. R3tledge had no legal
right there. He was ordered 10 get out,
refused, and was arrested.
These facts were testified TO BY Ia
epector Arthur McDermott, Clarence
Forwocd, one Of the judges and Robert
Husbands, one Of the watchers. Judge
Ball decided that Ratledge had right to
be present during the count aud dis
missed the case William s. Hilles rep.
resented Mr. Ratledge.
Thsre was charge against Clarence
F0rwood of assault on Mr. Ratledge. but
Ia the absence Of Walter H. Hayes,
Forwood's counsel, it was postponed TIL
Monday evening. The claim is that
when Rstledge went to the voting
window, ForWood pushed him to one side
with his hand.
The charge against Henry Turner,
colored, of voting illegally in the second
district Of the First ward, was withdrawn
as the evidence was not sufficient TO
warrant his conviction

HIS Choice Restricted

for the Commission.
Tho President Il Searching the
Colleges for Men Who Are Not
PoIiticians-Names May Be Given
Out in a Few Days-Daily Con-
sultations with Olney.

Washington, Dec. "a. The Vene-
zuelan boundary commission will prob
ably not be announced by President
Cleveland until the latter part of this
week or the first part of next week. 1t
will consist most likely of three mem
bers. The presidents aim is to put on
the commission only such men as will
inspire respect and confidence on both
sides of the Atlantic, and whose &C
quirements will be acknowledged by
the world of craftsmanship, science and
letters. In making the selections, men
with whom politics is simply an Incl
dent and not their profession, will be
preferred, and one close to the pi EST
dent is authority for the statement
that probably not single name so far
mentioned will be found on the COM
mission. The president, it is known, is
searching the universities and colleges
of this country for suitable men. The
high standard which the president has
set for the commission, restricts the
circle from which the members can be
chosen, and in this sense simplifies his
work. Secretary Olney is in daily con-
sultation with the president on the
matter.

Herring ELECTED.
Old Carroll County Comes to the
Front Again and Gives a Dem
ocratic Majority in the
State Senate.

There was great rejoicing among the
Democrats of Carroll County last
night, says the Baltimore Morning
Herald of the 22ud inst:
DR.. J. w. Herring has been elected
State Senator TO fill the vacancy caus-
ed by the death Of Pinkney ]. Bennett
His majority over DR.. J. J. Weaver,
the Republican candidate, is 81.
1t was close shave, but Mr.. Ben.
nett's majority over DR.. Weaver in No.
vember was only As, while Mr.
Lowndes, the Republican candidate
for Governor, carried the cou b. by
1876. Heretofore, Carroll has ben re.
garded Democratic by an average OF
200 majority.
The fight to-day was most deter
mined one. 1t was watched by all
sections of the State. Both sides spent
money freely. In fact, there never be.
fore was known such lavish expen-
diture of doodle" in any political con-
test in the county.
The importance of the contest was
fully realized 10y both parties. DR..
Hering's victory gives the Democrats
a majority of the new Senate, thus en-
abling them to elect the President and
other officers of the upper chamber of
the General Assembly AS the Presi-
dent of the Senate becomes Governor
in the event of the death or resigna-
ton Of the Governor after the Legis-
lature adjourns, it will be readily
seen that 1t is stragetic point, politl-
cally speaking.
DIR. Hering's friends claim that, in
view of the debt his party owes to him
at this critical period, he is entitled to
be elected to the Senate Presidency,
Notwithstanding the claim of Senator
Bruce that majority of the Demo-
cratic Senators have promised him
their support. They think that Mr..
Bruce will realize the propriety of Civ
ing way in favor of DR.. Herring.
Following is the vote of the county
in detail, with the exception of the re-
turns from Woolery's District, in
which the majority for DR.. Herring
only is given:

rs Not Cleveland, Whop

The Wall street money kings have
been trying by every means in their
power to bring discredit upon Presi-
dent Cleveland for his bold advocacy
of American ideas, as made clear in his
patriotic message to Congress a few
days ago. 1t seems we are so mixed
up with English capital that we are
not able to say word against their de-
signs, unless we are threatened with
some dire calamity. The truth of the
matter is we are having dose of En-
glish methods. The millions invested
in this country by English capital has
deprived thousands and thousands of
our people Of the means of livelihood.
Every beer trust and whiskey trust
and all other trusts and combinations
are in the hands of English capital.
Very soon we will find ourselves de.
pending on English capital for all We
require. Let US get rid of these foreign
investors and stand upon American
ideas and insist upon the rights due us
under the laws of the country. Let us
have popular bond issued and the
people will supply all the money need
ed for the requirements Of the govern
ment. We should not depend on En-
glish gold to run the American govern
ment. The people will stand by Cleve-
land If he shows backbone in this
6ght against the money kings and
bck spectators of Wall street. If
Dc Cleveland, who?

TWO CLEVER TRAMPs.
They Pass a Cancelled State Bond
Coupon.


Raleigh, n. c., Dec. 24.-Two tramn,
worked a smooth scheme on the state
treasury here One Of them who gave
his name as A. w. Lawrison and hi,
home as New York, appeared at the
paying teller's desk and presented a
state bond coupon for SEQ which was
promptly cashed. A moment later the
teller found it had been cancelled and
that by the aid of mucilage and hot
iron it had been so smoothed that the
cut made by the cancelling stamp did
not show until the coupon was handled.
1t was found that several days ago the
treasurer had burned many cancelled
coupons in the open fire place, but that
some of those intended to be burned
had passed up the chimney and fallen
on the ground. These the tramps had
picked up. Lawrison was arrested and
told the mayor he did not own the
coupon, but that another man who was
at the gate of the capital square had
sent him to cash it. The police saw
the man at the place his fellow tramp
indicated and arrested him.

Republican Methods.

The high morality party gave Us an
exhibition IN Carroll County as to
what they would do when installed in
power in this State Money by the
wholesale was lavishly subscribed for
the most corrupt purposes during the
late senatorial contest in our sister
county. Twenty five dollars was n
general price offered TO weakened
party men, and our Republican friends
carried out their plans by offering bal
lot-clerks two hundred dollars 10 sell
out, and so the morality party gives us
the first exhibition as To how they
would run things in Maryland. We
find from the vote in Carroll that ii is
not an easy mater to advocate the de-
sertion OF your party to-day and ex-
pect fidelity tomorrow. 1t is not easy
TO urge pulling down one day and
expect to build up tomorrow. We
know of several Democrats who were
disguised at the brazen effrontery of
one of the speakers, who was bold
enough to urge Democrats to vote for
our Senotor, when only few weeks
before he was doing all in his power TO
bring defeat to Senators all over the
State, who were the fair and honest
nominees of their party. Yes, we want
honesty in elections, and we want hon
est nominations and honest party
methods advocated by honest men.
1t is farce to hear men who are reek-
ing with dishonest methods, talking
about purity and honesty in elections
and honest party methods. Mr..
Lowndes was honest enough to declare
in Washington few days ago, that he
intended to do all in his power to keep
Maryland in the Republican column in
1896 If he advocates Carroll County
methods he may succeed. What will
Democrats who deserted their party
have to say if these things are brought
about?

THE great traction railroad strike,
which has created such excitement
and widespread interest all over the
country, has at last been amicably set
tied and many of the old hands have
gone to work, satisfied with the new
conditions. During the progress of the
strike violence was rampant and much
property damaged by the enraged
mobs. Arbitration was resorted TO and
through the efforts of several promi-
nent citizens, peace was finally restor-
ed. Labor and capital are too closely
linked together to admit of such prac-
tees as have characterized the recent
strike, and the, sooner tits learned the
better for the Seat interests involved.
