The PEOPLES Victory.

Baltimore sun.
The people of Maryland have won in
their great fight for political freedom and
pure government, and the leaders who
have brought discredit upon Maryland
Democracy have been branded with the
lasting stigma of stern popular condem-
nation. 1t has been the peoples battle
from beginning to end, and theirs is the
glory, as theirs will be the gain. 1t
could not have terminated otherwise
than it has in such State as Maryland,
for it was the uprising of freemen against
tyrants, of morality against corruption,
of right against wrong The good
sense and honesty of the people can
Away. be depended upon in great public
emergencies. The flood of popular senti-
ment which has swept over the State
has been gathering strength for years
past and has at length burst party
barriers and carried everything before
it. The American people, and the peo-
pie Of Maryland particularly are largely
endowed with the divine virtue of pa
thence, and they have long borne with
out revolt heavy burden of political
evils. But there always comes time
when the lamb of popular patience
becomes transformed into the lion of
popular Indignation, and that time has
arrived in Maryland this year. Whom
the gods would destroy they first make
mad, and the two insolent bosses who
have parceled out Maryland between
them and who have caused true Mary
landers to blush for their State sealed
their fate in this campaign by the mad
ness of their exeesses and their auda-
cious defiance of the popular will.
Every good Democrat as well as every
good citizen can rejoice heartily in the
result. 1t is a victory tor Democracy,
not for Repubiicanism, one of the great
est victories, in fact, that Democracy has
ever won in the whole course of its his
tory. Democracy is the rule of the peo-
pie and by this triumph the people have
asserted their authority and resumed
their sway. Greater is he who conquereth
himself than he who taketh city, and
the Democratic masses of Maryland have
shown that they are patriots of the
highest type with whom the public well
fare is superior to partisan considera-
tons, and who, when the occasion de-
mands, can conquer their political pref
udices for the good of their State.

THE PRETEXT FOR FUSION IN
1896.

Last year the Populists and Republi-
cans were asked "to hold their princi-
pies in allegiance" for the sole purpose OF
securing the repeal of what was called
an unfair election law. Now that the
professed object of fusion has been ac-
complished, Senator Pritchard says
fusion must continue to prevent "the en-
actment of election laws similar to those
in force in South Carolina and Missis-
sippi."
Last year "fair elections" was all that
was wanted, now some other pretext
must be invented. There has not been
a day since, 1876 until last year when
the Democrats did not have it in their
power to pass such an act as Senator
Pritchard says they desire to pass. He
and his fusion friends must have some
wind mill upon which to make their
onslaughts, and they have seized on this.
They may fool the people again, but it
would be well for them to remember
Lincoln's maxim about fooling the
people. You cannot fool all of them al
the time.

IMPORTANT DUTY DEyOLVED ON
THE CLERKS.

Section 5, Chapter 159, of the Acts of
1895 is as follows: "That the Clerk of
the Superior Court of each county shall,
within twelve months after the ratifca-
ton of this Act, establish, alter or create
separate places of election in their re-
spective counties, so as to provide, as
near as may be, at least one separate
place of voting for every three hundred
and fifty electors in every subdivision
of their respective counties, whether
such sub division be township, village
city or ward; of which said action the
said clerk shall give due notice by adj
vertisement in some journal published
in the county, if any such there be;
otherwise in some public place within
the boundaries of each of said voting
places or precincts, and at the court
house door in the county" Ratified 9Th

Claimed that Southern Republicans
viii Support Him.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 6 --Col W. o.
Bradley, who, yesterday carried Ken
lucky for the Republicans in the guber
material election, will be the choice of his
State for the presidency and his friends
claim that he will have the support of the
Southern Republicans. 1t is a significant
fact that the friends of Gov. Morton, as
we'll as the political champions of
Governor Mckinley, have all been in
constant correspondence with the friends
of Col. Bradley, and have urged them to
push his claims for the second place on
the ticket Col. Bradley has heretofore
refused to discuss the matter, but to-
night it is announced by Mr.. Walter
Forester, Secretary of Col. Bradley's
campaign committee and managing edi-
tor of the$ Commercial, the Republican
organ of the State, that Col Bradley
claims for national recognition will be
urged in the next national convention
Gen. Dudley was in Louisville during
the Grand Army Encampment, and had
a long conference with Col. Bradley's
friends in which the importance of Ken
lucky was discussed as probably having
the deciding vote in the next National
Convention, with the possibility of its
representatives in Congress having the
deciding votes in case the election of
President should be thrown into the
House. Gen. Dudley declared that Ken
lucky would be the pivotal State in 1896,
and that Col. Bradley would be most
prominent figure in National politics.
The friends of Gov. Morton are urg-
ing the Bradley people to support the
New York man on the ground that the
relative geographical positions of New
York and Kentucky would render Nor
tons nomination for President almost
decisive in favor of Bradley's nomination
for Vice-President. On the other hand,
Mckinley men are urging that Mckinley
and Bradley would make the strongest
ticket that could be put up because of
the personal magnetism of the men and
the prestige that they enjoy of having
won many gallant victories. 1t is also
urged in favor of the Ohio Kentucky
nomination that it would thus divest the
ticket of any extreme tendencies on either
the currency or the tariff question,
both men representing States in which
manufacturing and agricultural interests
are of nearly equal Importance and
where public sentiment is decidedly con-
servative.
Col. Bradley will come to Louisville
to morrow frsm his home in Lancaster
and will consult with his friends, and
Col. Bradley may be announced as a
Presidential aspirant.

Some Common weather Signs.

KTTTRELL, n O., Nov. 4.
To the Editor of the News and Observer:
Some days ago mention was made in
the NEWS AND OBSERVER of the fact that
despite the dry weather the quantity of
water in the mill-ponds had suddenly and
mysteriously increased. Some one i'm
agined that the downward flow of the
sap in the trees had something to do with
it till Professor Massey showed the ab-
absurdity of the idea.
The real cause was atmospheric. 1t
showed that there had been an increase
in the moisture in the air, and was a
good sign that the drought was about to
be broken
The best weather prophets that ever
knew were old and observant millers.
Their sign of the approach of rain was
a sudden increase in the "head" of water
in their mill-ponds.
The philosophy of it is very simple.
The mill pond is fed by an endless rami-
fication of creeks, branches and slender
drains from marshy places. In very
dry air evaporation from all these, as
well as from the surface of the pond,
must in the total be very great. On the
other hand damp atmosphere, such as
precedes rain, instead of depriving all
this area of its moisture by absorption or
evaporation, would actually deposit
moisture as it came in contact with the
cooler surface of the pond, and the
streams and marshes that feed it.
Yet rain is not always prec 7ded by
these signs. The signs are sometimes
just the reverse-an apparent intensity
ing of the dryness of the air. Thus the
very sudden parching up of vegetation
often portends the breaking up of the
drought. / know tight fitting gates and
drawers, which even the normal guam
tity of moisture in the air causes to
swell and stubbornly resist opening. This
is the normal condition during wet and
dry weather, although of course they
are worse when it rains. Yet when, dur
ing dry weather, these refractory foes
to dignity and a religious frame
of mind become suddenly facile, easy to
open and shut, rain is sure to come with
in thirty-six hours. The absence of
dew for three clear mornings is universal
ly regarded sign of rain.
The inference from these signs would
be that very dissimilar if not indeed
totally opposite conditions of the lower
state of the air--the only part within
our ken--may precede rain. 1t is in the
mysterious laboratories of the upper air,
of which we are so far so ignorant, that
the compelling powers of nature largely
do reside and hand down to us other ca
PRECIOUS signs and omens to read or mis-
read as best we can.

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

The attendance at the Atlanta Expo
sition during the first few weeks was
disappointing, and because the grounds
were not crowded all the time there was
a fear in some quarters that the EXPOSE
ton would not prove great success.
This fear was not shared by any who had
visited the great Fair. Added to the
fact that the attendance was smaller
than had been anticipated was the pres
ence of large floating debt incurred in
the very heavy preliminary expenses,
and the necessary expenses which had
been much heavier than had been ex-
pected.
The prompt action of Mr.. Sam Inman
in putting up $50, in addition to
the 10000 he had already subscribed,
aided by other citizens, relieves the Ex-
position of all embarrassment and In
sures it's success. In an interview, Mr..
Inman says:
"The Exposition is sure to succeed.
An encouraging fact is that for the first
two months of the Worlds Fair the at
tendance on no day exceeded $4,000,
yet the total attendance was 100000
The Midwinter Fair at San Francisco
had a smaller attendance during the
first two months than our Exposition
has had since it opened.
"The increase in our gate receipts has
been highly gratifying. Three weeks
ago the receipts were $4,000 for the
week, the next week $28, 900; last week
$3.50, There cannot possibly be dur
ing the entire exposition worse week
i point of weather than last week. This
week expect the receipts to reach $40
900. Next week | expect them to go
much higher. l confidently expect an
increase in receipts every week until the
fair closes.
"The people are coming. Every evil
dence points to it. l was recently in
New York. The people there are talk
ing it and thousands of them will come.
/ have in my pocket letter from agen
tleman wanting to engage rooms for
party of 900. | hear of many instances of
that kind. From all over the country
such reports come to u.s."
