The MARYLAND political contest is

AS ANA4O NOnbEoN 10
now on. The round-faced, bullet
headed Wellington called con-
ference and had a meeting of his
clans wherein was discussed the
way, and means, the schemes, etc,
which We're to beadoped in the carry
ing of the State this year for the Re
publican party; aud on Tuesday
afternoon, the majestic, awe-inspir-
ing, but always cute Gorman had
his clans in conclaye, wherein count
er plans were discussed, and counter
schemes suggested; each party feel
ing the greatest confidence in their
ability for successful consumma-
ton of political chicanery; both look
for and hope for victory.
Wellington's course on Cuba has
shown him to be, as statesman, the
shallowest of the the shallow; man
of extremely ordinary ability, and
intellectually below grade. He, how
ever, offsets this i'll manner by his
control of the political machine.
German, on the other hand, is hand
icapped by his ultra Bourbonism,
but he is the brightest Bourbon in
the United States, and goes far and
beyond the ordinary moss-back
never-say-die Jacksonian Bourbon.
AS remarked before the contest in
Maryland bids fair to become one of
the most notable that has occurred
in the politics of any State in some
years Silver Knight.
Senator Cannon of Utah has turn
ed tail on the tariff question. He
was the standard bearer of high tariff
in Utah was elected Senator as a
Republican and extreme high tariff
champion.
The Congressional Record contains
this admission:
Senator Chandler then said: May
l ask the Senator from Utah ques-
tion?"
Certainly" replied Senator Can
non.
Mr.. Chandler heard the Senator
talk of robbery a little while age
with reference to the tariff. Does
the Senator mean that the farmer
has been robbed all these years by
the tariff? Is that the Senator's ar
gument?
Mr.. Cannon-Yes, sir; decidedly
Mr.. Grandchildren did the Sen
ator first think that the American
tariff system was a robbery of thu
farmer?
Mr.. Cannon-Just as soon as the
Senator gave sufficient attention t.
the subject to understand the trutl
of it.
