Bryan Sure.
Auditor Baldwin of the Treasury De-
partment called at democratic headquar-
ters this morning and gave very encourag-
ing reports on the condition of the democ-
racy in Maryland.
Il am convinced that Maryland will give
majority of 1900 or 5000 for Bryan and
Sewall," said Mr.. Baldwin to a Star re-
porter today. You figure 1t up for your
SELF There are 112,UOO votes in Balti-
more and 10000 Of them will be cast. The
colored vote there is 5000, white republi-
Cans say 25.0OO. and, 1t is less: gold demo-
Gratis. 1O.oU That makes IL 900. There
will be a democratic majority in the state
for Bryan of from ,SNOO to 10000, and the
state will give 1f's Electoral vote to him
sure.
THE greatest change has taken place in
baltimore during the past three weeks.
Democratic meetings are crowded with
overflow meetings, while there are no re-
publican meetings in which every one can
not be seated. We do not have to provide
beer or music TO call out n,en to demo-
cratic meetings. l am making two speech

never seen such enthusiastic meetings. The

1t is not often that the same name ap-

BISHOP sATrERLEE.s CHURCH.
He VIII Have Two Assistants In
CharSs of ST. Mark'k.

Charge of st. Marks.
Although Bishop Satterlee has not yet
made any public announcement of his Sc
lection of st. Marks z. E. Church as the
cathedral church the Impression is general
that he will make some definite statement
on the subject from the pulpit next Sum-
day. Whatever doubt there may have
been that his choice would fall on the
Capitol Hill parish has been resolved and
the people of st. Marks are corresponding
ly elated.
A Star reporter called at Bishop Satter-
lees residence this morning In the hope
that the time had come when he would
be willing to say something on the subject,
but, as usual. the bishop sent out word that
he was very much engaged, and that he
must really beg to be excused from seeing
ary one.
Bishop Satterlee's selection OF st. Marks
is expected to do great deal for parish
which has not been in the happiest cOndi-
ton for some time past. For some months
it has had no regular rector.
Earlier in the year, when the finances OF
the church were at rather 10 webb. the
mission, which was under the control Of st.
Marks, and which gave rise to the troubles
within the church that finally ended in the
courts, was given up and turned over to
the Church of the Epiphany. 1t is UNDER
stood that the mission will now be taken
back with as little delay as possible and
the church's field of usefulness consider
ably widened. The bishops reasons for
choosing one of the poorer parishes are
simple and not hard to find. He will now
have an opportunity to use his influence in
putting the church in the front rank, and
St Marks will doubtless become, in
sense, a model church." The bishops ac-
ton involves the selection of a rector and
an assistant to take active charge of the
work Of the church. They will be paid by
the church, but the statement that has
been made that the bishop would also re-
ceive remuneration for his services is, of
course, erroneous.

think 1t necessary to call physician. He
was, however quite pale and showed that
he had been on the point of prostration.
