An Aged Voter.

From the st. Louis Republic Unless
something at present unforeseen should hap
pen in the interim between now and the
election day, st. Louis will, on November
3, have the distinction of claiming as one of
her citizens a man who has participated in
the election OF twenty two Presidents of the
United States. The gentleman who has
this distinguished claim to tieetng fame is
W. Jack" Haynes, an inmate OF the Me-
mortal Home on Grand and Magnolia ave
nues.
When Mr., Haynes registered at the polls
in his precinct last Tuesday, and told the
judges his age, the election officials nearly
had a fit. Mr., Haynes was born in 1887
and is a trifie over 1903 years of age. As is
natural with man who has had his eyes
open so long time, Mr.. Haynes is an en-
thusiastic advocate OF the Jetfersonan prin-
ciples of democracy, and intends TO vote the
straight winning ticket for Bryan and the
free coinage of silver. Mr. Haynes patri
archal and venerable appearance, with his
silvery hair and beard, is a constant re-
mnder to the other risky youngsters OF
seventy and eighty, in the home, OF the pre-
dominant issue III this campaign. He is
very well-prcservcd old man, despite his
heavy years. and he declares that IL will re-
quire greater physical ratio than sixteen
Republicans TO prevent his one vote from
helping to swell Bryan's plurality in this
city.
Mr.. Haynes is a veteran of the battle of
New Orleans and Of the civil war. He is
an old engineer, and was in charge of Il gun
boat on the lower Mississippi during the re-
bellon. He has been an inmate oi the
home about three years.

To the Democrats Of Maruland:
1t is openly stated and generally believed
that the only hope the Republican party
has oil carrying Maryland is by the lavish
use of money and intimidation OF the voters &.
This can be prevented by vigilance on part
OF the Democracy. The Election Law of
Maryland Furnishes by Imprisonment in Jail
or in the pententary for not less than six
months nor more than five years, false per.
sonation Of voters, voting, or attempting, or
offering to vote upon the name of any other
person living or dead, false, assumed, or fic
titlous, or upon any name not that OF the
lawfully registered voter himself; voting or
attempting to vote more than once; voting
or attempting or offering to vote in any
election precinct without legal right to vote
therein; influencing or attempting to in
fuence any voter in giving his vote, by
force, threat, menace, intimidation, bribery
or reward, or offer or promise thereof; pre-
venting, or hindering or attempting to pre-
vent or hinder any qualified voter from
freely exercising his right of suffrage; or
inducing or attempting to induce any voter
to exercise such right.
The provisions of the Election Law will
be fully and fearlessly enforced and all per-
sons detected in any violations of the laws
will ne promptly arrested and held for trial .
Democratic challengers and watchers are
instructed to be active and vlgilant in their
several precincts; and they are especially
directed to report promptly any and all
violations of law which shall come under
their notice and to call the attention of the
election officers and officers of police or any
sheriff or constable of any actual or at.
tempted offenses which they shall witness,
and cause the immediate arrest of any Of
fender, and report same at once to either OF
the undersigned, in order that said offenders
may be promptly punished.
The undersigned further request all Dem.
ocrats who shall know of or have cause to
suspect any violation Of the Election Law
to promptly report same as aforesaid

A Letter from Nebraska.

The follow ing article was clipped from the

Frederick county, Maryland
The following is extracted from II letter re-
Gently received in Middletown from Mr., A.
W. Smith, of Lincoln, Nebraska, former
resident OF Mid dletown:
"You have written me asking me to write
you and let you know what | know ABOUT

have received a number OF these requests,
and in answer will say ! am personally ac-
uuainted with him and have been for some
seven years, and employed him US my attor-
ney on several occasions and his services
were entirely satisfactory to me. He does
not want all you can get out OF case, and
note for the balance of his charges poor
man can employ him without fear of being
overcharged He has great big kind heart
10 him, therefore not rich. He was elected
to Congress twice from this congressional dis
trict, which is Republican by over 1900
do not remember his majority, but it was
good round majority. Hence you will see
he is highly esteemed even by the Republ-
cans. His services as congressman were sat
isfactory TO the Republican, as well as Dem
ocrats and others who re elected him. AS
you are well aware, he fought the Cleveland
administration, attacking President Cleve-
land on his bond issue fearlessly. Notwith-
not Weld he would take away his right 10
appoint postmasters and other officers in the
State but he was true 10 his onvictions and
did not yield TO coercion, making hi msef
more dear to the hearts of the people and
more worthy of their confidence.
As a citizen, his example is worthy Of imi-
tatIon by young and old. Ho neither drinks

tobacco, uses no bad language, as his
Il. Ill. ,alg In fItI
christian gentleman, one who is not naughty
and high-minded, but is plain man, and
will not pass a poor laboring man by with
out notice. To know him is but to love and
admire him. No city or county can boast Of
a man more noble and pure. No purer, no.
bier man was ever nominated for President OF
this, the grea test nation under the sun.
The great wise men OF the East tell us that
If we have free coinage of silver and gold
that our silver dollars will be worth only
fifty cents, and in the same breath they say
the mine owner will get rich. school boy
knows both cannot be true.
My sons have voted the Republican ticket,
but when J. Pierpont Morgan captured the
St. Louis convention and Mckinley went
beck on his former record on silver, they
shed their Mckinley badges and joined the
Bryan club, and will vote with me for the
greatest orator, statesman and champion Of
the farmer, Iaborer and poor mans friend III
America. So will thousands of Republicans
and ProhibitiOnists. We have a Republican
club of nearly 500, besides club OF old SOL

Mr.. Lee in Washington County.

On Saturday night last, Mr.. Lee, the gal
liant standard-bearer of Democracy, made
his appearance among the farmers OF Wash
ington county. His first meeting was in
Boonsboro' and a hearty reception was
given him. His speech was listened TO
with marked attention and general satisfac-
ton expressed at the able and forcibe man.
ner in which he handled the silver question
and discussed the needs and requirements
OF the agriculturists at the present time. Mr..
Lee assured the people that if elected he
would be found ready to advance the inter.
ests OF the people of Western Maryland ir-
respective of party-he would be the repre-.
sentative of the people. His nomination
was unsought, he was identified with no
Clique or faction of his party and was bold
enough to act for the good Of the entire PEG.
pie in the discharge ofhis public duties. Mr..
Lee was presented to numbers of people at
the Hagerstown Fair and made the same
good impression that he made whilst in
Frederick County. We want to see old
Washington County put her best foot fore
most, for we are going to try and give Lee
better vote in Frederick than they will give
in Washington. Now for the battle; the
Bankers and Corporations will unite whilst
the farmers in this contest are apt to do as
they have done in former issues where their
interests were involved, struggle along
through the fight each one fighting his own
way, and thereby failing to accomplish the
desired end. No man need undervalue the
power of the money power or the force Of
corporate influence. That millions will be
spent in this campaign there can be no
doubt. If the workingmen, the farmers
and laborers re strong enough to resist the
temptations set before them, there can be no
question about the result of the fight. Time
and time again have the great body of agri-
culturists scattered throughout the Union
failed to act together for their own good,
and it is not surprising that many fear now
when the chance is given them, that they
will shrk and fail to win the battle. Never
has any man made such brilliant campaign
as Bryan. Not once have his enemies been
able TO pick flaw in one of his mastery
arguments. If the people will only stand
by their gallant leader, what a victory they
would FREDERICK Citizen.

Suburban RailrOa Plans are

Suburban Railroads are now
under consideration by the officials OF the
Great Falls Electric Railroad to build a
double line of tracks from Georgetown as
far as the District line. The traffic OF the
road during the season has more than war
ranted this step. The disadvantage of a
single line of track, no matter with how
many switches may be put In position, has
been badly felt in the handling of the large
crowds which the road has been called up
on to handle, especially when any extra
event was scheduled at the International
Athletic Park 1t is given out authorita-
lively that before the opening OF the spring
season the road will have a set OF double
tracks all the way to the District line. The
work on the same, it is stated, will shortly
be begun, in fact, the construction may be
started in the fore part OF next month, and
rapidly pushed through. The road has
number Of sidings laid part of this distance,
the aggregate of which is quite large, and
which assist materially in the construction
Of another track.
The Glen Echo Railroad is also keeping
up its work, and extending its terminals.
The eastern end has been extended as far
as Chevy Chase circle, the work being nearly
completed. The western terminal is also
the scene of labor, and tracks have now been
laid across the Conduit road, and are nearly
ready to be connected with the main line of
the Great Falls electric road, which, from
the point of the proposed junction clear to
Cabin John Bridge, is double track.
