A GLOOMY ESrNEF
Maryland's Democratic Delegates
Sneak Away to Chicago With No
Happy Speeding BY Their
Special Wire to Sunday Light.

Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Baltimore, Md, July 4.-Disaffec-
ton in the ranks Of the Maryland De-
mocracy was clearly illustrated to-
day when the state delegation to the
national convention assembled at
Camden station and took the 1920
Baltimore and Ohio train for Chicago.
There were just twenty-five persons
in the party, including delegates,
Democratic leaders and newspaper
men. Four years ago Maryland's
representatives to the national con-
vention were friends and occupied
three special trains; today one Pull
man, Vice President G. X. Lords
private Delaware" accommodated
them. There was no music this morn
ing as in former years, no parading
at the railroad station, no jubilant
demonstration on the part of the null
titude, and no guard Of honor from
Democratic clubs of the city. The in
dividual members of the party went
quietly to the station and quietly took
their seats in the car assigned them.
Three of the four silver men of the
delegation tried to get up a little en-
thusiasm as the train pulled out, but
the effort was not very successful.
Late last night Charles @. Crothers,
of Cecil county, candidate for attor-
ney general last fall, and one of the
delegates-at-large, telegraphed his re-
signation TO Chairman Pattersley w.
Talbot, of the state central COM
mittee. Taldott will fill the two va
mittee. Tolbott will fill the two va
cancies Occasioned by the withdrawal
of Messrs. Crothers and Marion De-
kalb Smith, prior to the meeting of
the convention

ture of the gathering is the absence
of delegates from the New England
and Middle states, the absence of the
former being for the first time in the
history of the party. There was no
delegation present from any states,
except the west and south, until the
arrival of William C. Whitney and
his followers from New York, yester-
day. The New England delegations
have no fayorite son to put out and
are therefore in no hurry TO arrive on

day or two. As he is the first promi-
nent candidate to arrive on the scene
his coming has attracted considerable
attention.
When asked for his views on the
money question he said:
My views favoring the restoration
of the coinage of silver are too well
known to need repeating. | regard
the financial question as one of great
importance: the foremost question in
America. This contest will not be a
question of tariff but of money. The
people want the money question set
tied and in comparison with this the
overshadowed."
BOTS MISSIONARIES.
The Bots men have organized for
vigorous campaign of the unin-
structed delegates and have hopes of
gaining a number of them over to the
governor in this manner. II. G.. Ev-
ans, delegate from Ottuma, Iowa,
said they can claim more votes for
Bois than BANDS managers can claim
for him and that theirs were from
unrestricted sources too, but he was
sure they could be counted on.
ILLINOIS NoNcoNNMITTAL.
The fact that Illinois keeps mum
leads to the general impression that
they have dark horse hidden away
which they will spring when the
proper time arrives. Some believe it
to be ex-Congressman A. J. Warner,
of Ohio.
WILL, BE SEATED.
1t is almost an assured fact now
that the six delegates sent by the
District of Columbia, Indian Terri
tory and Oklahoma will be seated,
promises to that effect having al
ready been made from a large ma
jority of the national committee.
DON'T LIKE THE IDEA.
1t is talked of holding a caucus for
nominating a free silver candidate
before the opening of the convention,
but the Bots men are raising a kick
against this, declaring the con-
vention alone shall settle the nomina-
ton, allowing each candidates name
to be presented as usual They say
they will attempt TO vote down any
goldite who may be put up as tempo
rary chairman. That Iowa will not

fact that number of delegates from
this state are for gold first, last and
always, among them being ]. ]. Rich
ardson. member of the national
committee, who is working for all he
is worth to defeat Bots.
WILL THEY BOLT?
In direct opposition to the st. Louis
convention where Senator Teller and
followers bolted because of the adop
ton of the gold standard, it is now
probable that the gold men will bolt

Jackson, Miss, July Al. Nelson
Polhamus, the agent of the Cuban
revolutionary party for the states of
Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi,
while in Jackson yesterday said: "We
are not lacking in money for only a
few days ago we sold 100000 of
bonds of the republic of Cuba, and an
Englih syndicate has agreed to take
100000 more of them at 6S cents
on the dollar
''The ultimate freedom of Cuba is a
certainty. Spain cannot tand the
strain much longer. She has sent
munition. We have men enough to put
$4,000 more in the field if we could
but equip them.
1.-The ultimate freedom of Cuba is n
10000 troops to Cuba and she is in
debt, her credit is at low ebb and
the pay of her soldiers is four months
in arrears. The Spanish soldiers in
the trocha are dying by hundreds from
yellow fever, smallpox and scurvy.
The food issued to the Spaniards is
simply soup and hard tack.
"The Cuban government is fully
organized and has control of the ell
tire interior Salvador CisnerOs is
president and the capital at Monies
Cubutus, near Puerto Principe. There
is no doubt of Cuban success"
Mr. Polhamus was taken to the eX-
eeutive office and introduced TO Gov.
McLaurin, whom he had expressed a
desire to meet. The governor receiy-

around toward the idea of letting

if he is selected by the gold men to
take the chair the silverites will not

A FIFTY-CENT DOLLAR.


To the warning of the true bimetal-
lists that free silver coinage at sixteen
to one by this government alone would
drive gold out of use as money and so
cause disastrous contraction shallow
critics sneeringly asks "Where would
the gold go top
1t would go where it went during war
time-either abroad or into hiding or
into vaults rs a commodity for specu-
latie gambling.
1t would go where gold has gone IN
every free coinage country in the world
out of sight or as the reserve fer
banks.
Gold is now in general use as cur
rency in the Pacific states. 1t is held
by the government and by banks in all
parts of the country as a reserve to sus-
tain the circulation of greenbacks and
treasury notes and to maintain the
bank credits. 1t serves perfectly its
function as money. When it goes to a
premium, it will no longer do this.

Financial Definitions.

IN response to many inquiries as to
the meaning of expressions commonly
used in the discussion of issues involved
in this campaign, the Press has pre-
pared the following brief table of
terms and equivalents:
FREE COINAGE.

money, without charge for the
service, of all silver bullion

able.
A FIFTY-CENT DOLLAR.
One which, owing to the de-
probation of silver, is intrinsical-
ly worth only this amount and
maintains its face value only by
reason of the Government's
pledge to keep it at parity with
gold.

THE tracks of the great Democratic
editors are nearly all getting to point
the same way, viz: With the toes from
Bryan and his queer ideas Many of
these same great men have turned with
hesitating steps toward Mckinley.
The country is going to wake up dur
ing this campaign, and the blunders of
the rampant Chicago convention will
not be endorsed by serious men, es-
pecially those of large newspaper in
Huence.

A silyerite newspaper says: "a
bushel of potatoes, a dozen of eggs and
a pound of butter can be bought in
many portions of the western reserve of
Ohio at the present time for 20 cents"
And this fact is stated as reason for
free silver. Would the farmer be any
better OF if he sold his 20 CENTS worth
of potatoes and eggs and butter for So
cents in coin worth so cents on the dol

coin for every. dollars worth of value

Savings Bank Depositors, Awake. -

"All the great savings banks states,
with the exception of California, voted
for the gold plank at st. Louis" says the
Boston Transcript. "It is safe to say
that the vote for the gold plank stood
for nearly seven-eighths of the total de-
posits, and perhaps more" These de-
posits, amounting to more than $780,
100000, are the rainy-day savings, as the
Transcript says, of the "toiling mil
lions" about whom the silyerites are so
greatly concerned. The Transcript
adds: "Reckoning their dependents,
these deposit,rs stand for very con-
siderable proportion of the entire pop
ulation of the United States. If free
coinage triumphs, these deposits will
virtually be cut in halves"
Look to Your Representative.
"The fact that the friends of sound
money in the democratic party delayed
too long the fight against the silver
madness that now seems to dominate
the party organization should spur
them to renewed efforts to prevent the
election of house of representatives
committed TO the free coinage OF silver"
the Wilmington (Del.) Every Evening
(dem.) says. "If this is done, the dan
ger will be ayerted, no matter what sort
of wild financial theorist may be
chosen president"

While the leading politicians OF the
country are worrying themselves into a
fever pitch of excitement over the prob
able outcome of the presidential cam
paign there is one man, and he is We
president of the United States, 4ho
doesn't show the least sign of worry or
excitement. For all that 1t Is whispered
about in this tiny town that he is worried,
but these whispers are not based upon
definite knowledge. Mr.. Cleveland has
no confidants here. The natives, If they
tried hard enough. might discover II e
trend of the presidential mind, but they
have only passive interest in the Cleye-
iand family. Some of the local political
sharps who lounge about the little post
office porch have been heard to wonder
whether Cleveland will vote for Bryan
and swallow free silver" or whether
he'll drop in a ballot for Mckinley or
whether he won't vote at ALL After
voicing these wonders the political knowl-
edge or the town is at a standstill
The sleepy gossipers are aroused every
few days by the news that some polite
ian got on the train at the station and
inquired about the quickest route to
Gray Gables. Then the townsfolk smile,
for they know what that means. The
station men have been given a quiet tip
from Gray Gables to alwayse advise in
tending callers at the presidents house to
telephone and make an appointment. Then
when the traveller telephones the voice at
the Gray Gables end of the wire says:
The president is very sorry, but other
business makes it impossible to see you
This message has been sent so often over
the telephone that a phonograph could do
the work quite effectively. On the rare
occasions when some one reaches the sta
ton whom the president wants to see the
