The sound of the last farewell had died
upon the morning air and little Harold's two
year-old voice was heard shouting, Don't
fordet'' my high chair, mamma, and my
chif- chimed in sweet eighteen Bess, when
the locomotive bell rang and away steamed
the great iron horse; with its precious load of
humanity, from the little town Of
in Western Maryland, to Baltimore, its des-
tination. Mrs. Radmore, the mother of Hair
old and Bess, was seated alone, but at the
next station another lady got aboard and took
Radmore. Why, Mrs. Sinclair good morn

Boss Wellington.

Wellington has had triumphal march
through Maryland, gathering up delegates to
The State Convention without scarcely any OPP
position. In Montgomery county the eonven-
lion on Monday was turbulent. Goats were
drawn and preparations made for general
knock down. The rumpus was avoided by
the withdrawal of the Wellington dele
gates. The Wellington supporters held the
fort and elected delegates. The anti We'll
lington people held another convention and
elected delegates, but the nearest they will
get TO the convention will be ON the outside
of the railing, among the spectators.
Wellington will name the delegates from
MARYLAND to the national convention. If any
one can find out how Wellington stands he
will know who the delegation will support for
Presidential nominee. Wellington is going
to make the best deal he can for the benefit of
Wellington. He will go for Mckinley, ALI
son. Morton or Reed, whoever will offer him
the greatest inducements.

Registration and Election Law

The Legislature at lis late session passed
REGISTRATION and election law that is intended
10 secure absolute purity in registration and
elections. No necessity for it existed in the
counties, where fraud is unknown, and it is
impossible to frame law to prevent fraud in
Baltimore or other large city, when evil dis
posed people intend to commit it. It is the
duty of the Legislature. however, to use every
endeayor TO insure free and fair elections, and
it is to regretted that laws have to be uniform,
rather than having acts exclusively applicable
TO large cities and others suitable for rural
sections.
The new law provides for an entire new
reeislation of voters throughout the state this
year. annually hereafter in Baltimore and in
every presidential year in the counties. There
are to be two registrars of voters instead of
one. and four judges of election instead OF
three, as heretofore. One registrar is to be
Democrat and one Republican. One cleo
ton clerk is dispensed with, and judges and
clerks of election and registrars of voters are
appointed by the board of election of supervl-
sors. Two judges OF election are TO appointed
before July LIST, and these are to be also the reg
strars of voters. And they must serve, when
appointed, under penalty of from Sloo to
$780,
In the selection of judge or clerk each SUI
peryisor has veto, and if they cannot agree
then the supervisor or supervisors belonging
to the party entitled to be represented by the
Judge or clerk in question shall name three
men who are eligible, and from these the
other supervisor or supervisors shall make the
selection.
The names Of judges of elections and clerks
must be advertised, their political utilization
being shown. The supervisors are also to
advertise the names of candidates at least
eight days before the election.
The law is very voluminous one, anc
would occupy about ten columns of the An
vocArE. A synopsis of it may he found on
the supplement to this issue.

The seventeenth ward of Baltimore Is a part
OF the fifth congressional district. Primaries
were held there on Friday afternoon and
night of last week, to select delegates to the
district convention. The result was numer-
Gus fights, the polling of 500 more votes than
there are Republican voters in the ward, and
the arrest of eight men. The total vote was
3l9s. Lowndes received but 1869 votes last
November, and it is well known than many
Democrats supported him.

Col. John C. Motter, of Frederick, did not
cut much ola figure in the sixth congressiona
district convention. He did not even com
mand the votes of his own delegation, and he
was Inundated by the selection of DR.. S. L.
Haffner, of Frederick county, delegate to
the St. Louis convention against his wishes.
Robert S. Crawford, of Washington county,
was the other delegate chosen. Mckinley
was commended, but Wellington does not care
anything about resolutions as long as he has
the delegates, and he is not for Mckinley.

Democratic Revival in New Jersey

The Democratic cause in New Jersey re-
ceived wonderful Strengthening last Tues
day. Municipal elections were held in the
large cities and resulted in great gains for the
Democrats. Newark, which two years ago
elected Julius Lebkuecher, Republican,
Mayor over Jas. NJ. Seymour, Democrat, by
1000 majority, reversed things and elected Mr..
Seymour by about the same majority. Jersey
City, which up to last fall has been electing
Republican Mayors, Sherifs and Assembly
men, made complete turn about and the
Democrats made most decided sweep.
They carried the city by about 1900 and elect
ed two members ofthe Board of Public Works
and sixteen out of eighteen Aldermen. In
Hoboken the Democrats elected their whole
ticket
