National Democrats by
the Maryland Boss.

DcniOCTutA denounced BY
the Maryland Boss.
BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 15.-United
States Senator German was greeted to-
night by Il crowd which was limited only
by the capacity of Music Hall, who came
TO hear him make the first political speech
he mas made in this city for many years.
Mr.. German said in part: w advocate
the election of Bryan and Sewall. But we
do not support them simply because they
are the Democratic nominees. We support
them because they represent the great
principles for which the Democratic party
stands. If there are any, and l am told
by the public prints that there are some,
who have formerly been with the Demo-
cratic party, but who now prefer McKin-
ley to Bryan (hisses) let them go in peace.
1 treat all the men who support MeKin-
ley and Hobart or Palmer or and Buckne
as first and second degree Republicans.
The first are the supporters of Mckinley,
who have the courage of their convictions
and L honor them as American citizens.
The limping, hating, hesitating cowardly
fellows who go only half way, can have
no respect from anybody. Do you want
proof that it is all one concern? If you
do turn to their organ and you will find
that there are two branches of boiling
democrats in Maryland. one that has Il
committee OF seventy, and the other that
has q committee without number. The
one supports outright Mr.. Mckinley and
the other follows that poor old ticket that
was nominated at Indianapolis Now, all
OF these Republicans and the men that /
have described, charge the Democratic par
ty with all sorts of crimes. That is moth
ing new to Democrats. All the adjectives
that have ever been coined to suit the
English language nave been hurled against
US from Jetrerson's time until now. They
do not abuse Bryan any more than they
abused Jefferson and Jackson. (App.auSe.)
And yet the Democratic party has outlived
all of its traducers and elected its candi-
dates who we're thus opposed and placed
their stamp of approval upon the great
acts that the Democratic party have per-
formed"
The remainder of Mr.. Germans remarks
were largely devoted to the financial ques-
ton. He came out sQuarely and fiat-foot-
ed for free coinage of gold and silver at
