The Baltimore Sunday Herald says:
While the Republicans have been
kept in a whirl of excitement for
weeks, the Democrats have peaceably
pursued the even teuor Of their ways,
though signs of activity were shown
during the past week in the appoint
ment aud organization ola special COM
mittee To supervise primaries and other
campaign matters in Baltimore. Sig
mund Trautman is chairman and Con-
way W. Sans secretary OF this body,
the other members being Ex-Police
Commissioner John c. Legg. James
L, Murrill, Charles We Heisler, James
B. Guyton, John Hannibal, DR.. James
Bosley aud William F. Porter.
This committee met Monday night
at Democratic city headquarters to
confer with the Baltimore members of
the State Central Committee regarding
arrangements for their primaries to
elect delegates to the State Conven-
ton, which will lie held here on July
>, TO nominate candidates for State
Comptroller aud Clerk of the Court of
Appeals.
John r. Pattison, of Dorchester, and
George a. Deakyne, of Caroline Coup
~, are talked of for the Comptroller
ship, and J. Frank Ford, OF ST. Mary's
County, is being advocated for re-elec-
ton as Clerk Of the Court. Mr.. Patti
sons friends are claiming that he will
come out ahead IN the race, though
the Deakyns men sre not making
any admissions to support that con-
tention. Mr.. Pattisoa was delegate
to the Chicago Convention in 1895.
A great degree of interest in the su-
pervisory committee is displayed
among all classes in the Democratic
PARTY. Its composed of Young, active
men, aud vigorous liue of conduct
Is expected TO be pursued by it, The
primaries will, it is thought, be he'd
only few days before the convention,
Democrats are also concerned about
q probable change in the chairman
ship OF the State Central Committee.
Senator Hattersly W. Talbot, it is un-
derstood, wants II lay down the bur-
den of his duties a. chairman. which
lie has borne for several years, and
they are talking about suitable man
TO succeed him.
In this connection, both Internal
Revenue Collector Murray VandivN
and Ex-Governor Frank Brown are
mentioned. Mr.. Vandiver would not,
it is said, thiEk OF taking up such ac-
tive partisan duties until he Is relieved
Of his federal position. which he ex-
poets TO vacate soon upon the appoint
ment Of a Republican Ex-Governor
Brown is in Europe, but he expects to
return sufficiently early to lend his
services TO his party during the fall
campaign.
Chairman Talbot, who has held the
position since 1894, has served faith
fully and euergetically, and, if be re-
tires he will take with him the best
wishes of his party when he steps out,
and the good feeling of all with whom
he had been associated. He was one
ofthe most popular men personally,
and has large number Of friends all
over the State.

SENATOR CHANDLER FOR FREE
SILVER.

The following is an extract from the speech
OF Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, in
support of the bill:
When they 0he gold Democrats) declared
thus; In hne, We reafirm the historic Dem
ocTauc doctrine OF tariff for revenue only
It became no wonder that their respectable
and respected candidates, bearing the motto
Gold recommendation and free trade re-
eeiVed but 10000 out of 100000 votes cast.
Nevertheless. the assistance of these worthy
old,iashioned gentlemen in the election Of Mr.
Mckinley was gladly welcomed. Ii vas time
Tor the passing of the Democratic party and
they were entitled TO perform an honorable
part in the interment.
The Republican bimetallists saved the cleo
ton OF Mckinley and Hobart. Ii would not
have been thus carried If the Republican party
had adopted money plank similar to that Of
the Indianapolis convention. When pronounc-
ing against the immediate free coinage Of sil-
yer without an international agreement. the
Republican party declared, by adding concern
ing himetallism SIX potent words, which
pledge ourselves to promote, that it would
equally oppose a permanent acquieseenee in
gold recommendation. This party therefore
stands recognizing the evil consequences
which have come from the reduction of the
values OF the worlds property, proelaining
that the cause IS the decentralization of silver,
and declaring that the remedy is the re-estab-
hshment OF bimetallism. The great political
question Of the future. therefore, is shall this
spirit, and the party is wisely conducted, as
it is TO be hoped it will be- in other essential
particulars, the members Of that party may not
only contemplate with pride its glorious rec
ord of past achievements, but may hope TO
see It win further victories"
II space permitted, similar extracts might be
made from Mr.. Dingley, the leader Of the
House, and other prominent Republicans Of
that body.
AS already stated, this bill, looking to the
re-establishment OF the free coinage Of silver.
passed both the Senate and the House with
the solid support OF the Republican party. II
also received the solid support OF the Demo
cratic party. In the Senate, composed Of %
members, there were but dissenting votes
those Of Mr.. Allen, Populist. Mr.. PetrgreE,
Silver Republican, and Messrs. Villas and
Roach, Democrats In the House. consisting
OF 500 members, there were the same number
of dissenting votes-those Of MSSrs- Henry,

to secure their release at once and to

REPUBLICANS RIDICULE Mr. Villas
AND DEFEND THE DOUBLE
STANDARD.

The leading Republicans Of both branches Of
Congress, not only by the open support OF
this free silver measure, repudiated the prom
iscs by which Maryland Democrats were de-
gold Democrats whom he represented TO IN
friendly criticism amounting almost to ridi-
cule. Let the following extracts from speeches
OF leading Republicans bear witness:

conferees on the tariff bill would speed

Is, there Is much 10 be done yet in
these two clauses of the bill. not To

on their account. Late reports from
Wall street show a marked increase in

He might as well have been there all
