$40 WING ITS HAND.

The A. p A. Is beginning to be heard
from in the delegate elections to the Repub
lican convention. 1t has declared against
Mckinley. Whether this will hurt or help
him is problematical. There is statement
10 the effect that it turned the Kentucky
convention to the side of Gen. Bradley in
the late contest in that State. The A. p
A. seems TO operate with the Republicans
exclusively. II is section of the Republi.
can party, and we see it estimated that II
already controls about one hundred dele.
gates elected to the st. Louis Convention.
We are inclined to question this It's effect
is purely factional thus far, and our i'm.
preston is that il is more dangerous to a
candidate to have its support than to en-
counter its opposition. There are a good
many German Republicans in the West,
and they are not to be supposed to favor the
A. p. A. designs in politics. There is some.
thing grotesque in the attempt of the A. p.
A. politicians to pass upon what is Ameri-
can, and their opposition to Mckinley, a
trustee Of Methodist church and an ap.
proved soldier of the late war, on the ground
that he is not sufficiently American is their
most absurd manifestation.

TIE OPPRESSIVE HEA Z.

The present April has presented the sever.
est heated term of any April during the last
thirty.two years. 1t has extended over the
whole Eastern and Southern portions OF
the country and has continued longer than
the same high temperature commonly con-
tinues in midsummer. For four days the
mercury reached or exceeded co.
AT this writing there is no prospect of
very early relief from this oppressive sultri-
ness. The country will be fortunate if the
results from the sudden and severe heated
spell shall be limited to the suffering in
flicted upon the people.
The buds and blossoms have been forced
as if in hot beds during the last week, max
ing it certain that they will be even more
delicate than usual and less capable of re
sisting the peril of frost. AS this region is
subject to frost during April and May, a
cold spell at all approaching the extreme
hot season through which we are passing
would be fearfully destructive to fruit and
vegetation.

Although there has been no official an
nouncement Of the fact made, it seems that
the Eastern Shore law regarding the election
of United States Senators by the Maryland
Legislature has been repealed.
From careful examination of the House
election bill, which was passed by the Leg
islature, there is not in it, as there was in the
recently repealed election law, a clause stipu,
latlng that one of the Maryland Senators
shall come from the Western Shore and one
from the Eastern Shore of the State.
Mr.. John G. Rose, counsel for the super
visors of elections for Baltimore city, thinks,
after perusing copy of the new election
law, which was originally that prepared by
the Reform League, that the Eastern Shore
law has been wiped out of existence noise
lessly and without any one in particular ap-
pearing to know it.

A COMMENSURATE EXAMPLE

II is evident TO the most casual observer
Dental nomination are furnishing a very
commendable example to their Republican
rivals as TO their convictions and as to where
they stand on the currency question.
They appreciate the fact that before choos
ing candidate for such an exalted office
there should be no concealment as TO his stat.
US upon the great and leading issues of the
country-that this knowledge the people
have right not only TO expect but TO have.
On the other hand, the Republican candi.
dates for their part, or at least the leading
ones, apparently hold that the collection Of
delegates for their own use and behoof is the
one important public business in view, and
that its smooth progress must not be i'm
peded by expression OF their convictions
bearing on the currency.
The Democrats have no reason, much less
any desire, to place in nomination for Presi
dent any man whose views are not sound
on the currency question. Grover Cleve
land is frank in his devotion TO gold and
national banks-Russe,l is the straightfor-
ward champion of the single gold standard,
and so with other distinguished Democrats
who have been mentioned in connection
with the Democratic nomination for this
office.
The known views of these persons upon
the now great leading issue now before the
country is in marked contrast with the lead
ing candidates for the Republican nomina-
ton. From Mckinley or Reed no man can
coax word-silver or golden. Whether
the latter is best represented by the Massa
chusetts "gold bug" platform, the Maine
bubble, or his fugleman Chambers asser-
ton that he is bimetalst, none can with
any authority say. Whether McKinley's
views are best expressed by the Ohio plat.
form straddle, by the extreme gold views OF
his personal newspaper organ, the Chicago
Times Herald, or by his rather silvery record
in Congress, can only be guessed at until
Mark Hanna permits the public candidate
TO speak.
1t may be observed that the Republican
party has candidates in the field who are
not afraid to give to the public their views
upon this question-they are known TO be
sound in their fath-there is Gov. Morton,
of New York, on the gold standard, and
Don Cameron on the silver side-but its
leading candidates are afraid to express any
opinion-they are cowardly and evasiye.

A BUSINESS MAHAT THE FRONT

A BUSINESS MAN AT THE FRONT.
The nation will peculiarly need man of

government in the next term of the presi-
dency. Business matters aud business CUES
lions are To have great prominence during
that period, and il would be difficult to over
estimate the importance to the business com.
munity OF their wise control.
The people have had reason TO question
seriously the capacity of Mckinley in this
respect from developments in his personal
affairs during recent years We see it stated
that the New York Ereni'ag Post has sent
member of its staff into Ohio to learn the
business reputation of Mckinley at home.
He finds from the people of that State that il
is not worth while to take Mckinley serious
in this section.
1t is further asserted that citizens OF Ohio
have spoken freely to this correspondent Of
the Euentn9 Post Ii is easy to obtain the
facts about Mckinley at home from the
fact that there is large portion of the Re
publicans Of that State who are not cor.
daily supporting him in his present ambi
ton, but aside from this, men of all partie:
and of all stripes OF partisanship agree that
though Mckinley has forged well to the
front in politics, he is a child in business
affairs His natural tendency to waver il
taking attitude on political questions, a
shown in his alterations on the currency, il
made worse by bis entire lack OF confidence
in his own judgment on business matters

MARYLAND POLITICS.

The Republicans of Maryland appear to
be exceedingly active at this time, and seem
determined to make an effort to give the
electoral vote Of the State to the Republican
candidates for President and Vice President
This is, of course, to be expected Whether
they are to succeed or not is for the Demo
Gratis to say. There are more Democrats in
Maryland than there are Republicans, and
II is manifest that the Republicans cannot
carry the State without Democratic assist
ance. This assistance may be active or
passive. There is not so much danger of
the former as the latter. In presidential
year it is not to be anticipated that Demo-
Gratis will vote the Republican ticket. But
several causes may operate to keep them or
large numbers of them from voting at all.
This would just as effectively elect the Re
publican elactors as TO vote for them.
In the first place the Democratic enthusi.
asm must be stimulated by the nomination
of proper person for President. In order
to get the electoral vote of Maryland the
Democratic candidate must be Democrat,
and not populist or Tree silverite. If the
Chicago convention should nominate man
who cannot command the respect and con.
iilence of true Democrats; if il dominates
man who cannot be trusted to uphold the
honor and credit of the government and pay
lis debts with the best money; if it NOM
mates man who cannot be trusted to see
To it that the workingman gets an honest,
full weight dollar for his labor and the
farmer an honest, full weight dollar for his
wheat, then such nomination would be
wet blanket upon the party, " hich would
smother the fire and energy and life out of il,
A general new registration Of voters must
take place all over the State this fall No
one who does not get registered before the
election can vote for President. In order
to get the voters registered there must be
some organization. The reorganized Demo
cratic committee, If it is TO be reorganized,
should not be mere partisan body inter-
ested only in the success of this or that fac
ton of the party and the dscredit of some
other faction. 1t should be committee OF
men of liberal views, who have their eyes
on the future rather than on the past, and
who can overlook and ignore the lines of
faction.
In order to bring out the full Democratic
strength it is also essential that the six men
TO be the party candidates for Congress
should be men of undoubted character, of
unbemished reputation and of unquestion.
ed Democracy. And il is above all else
important that they be nominated by the
people and not by the bosses or any boss.
The mere suspicion of any faint of boss
nomination will be very apt to be fatal to
that candidate and injurious to the party
and the presidential candidate-Bdlto. Sun.
