TO the PUBLIC.

The nominees OF the Independent Republi-
cans were summoned 20 meet the Board Of
Election Supervisors in Leonardtown on Mon
day. the 26th inst. We were on hand punctualiy.
but the Board did not meet US. Our commit
tee saw Mr.. Oscar watheu. president Of the
Board, but he would give ms no satisfaction
neither telling US that our names would be on
the ofnctai ballot nor that they would not be.
Neither would he say that the tickets publish
60 IN the county newspapers were ofhcial, but
always 70 our direct questions on that point
returned US an equivocai answer. On Tuesday
we again called at the Court House and de-
the supervisors OF Elections. Their clerk in
formed ms that he nad not the key OF the once;
that none OF the Supervisors were presens and
we could not see the papers.
Now. IL ts currently reported by the Ring Re
pnblicans that our movement Ii dead and that
our ticket will not appear upon the offlciaI bal
lot. IL this be so, the Ring Republicans know
moro than we have Seen able TO md out, for
We have been persstently refused informa-
ton. on this point and the whole endeavor OF
the majority Of the Board seems TO have been
20 keep us In the dark m 90 their intentions in
the matter. One thing we do know, however,
and that Il. that we are In this fight 10 the I'm
ish; We viii not tameiy bow d.wu 90 plant
dressed In . little brief authority. We know
our rights and we dare mountain them. We
intend to tell the people how We have been
treafe }. aud for that purpose we invite them
tai meet us at the times and places which we
will hereafter designate.

WELLINGTON FOR THE TICKET.


Senator Wellington in an authorized
and correct interview published i'm the
Baltimore sam on Tuesday, October 90,
said:
81 cannot believe that the people of
Maryland will reverse the tremendous
majorities of 1895 and 1896 when they
have this year two vital issues at stake
instead of one, as in each Of those two
years. This year, by their vote, they are
to determine, first, whether the German
Rasin ring is to be revived and again
placed in possession of the Slate; and,
secondly, whether Maryland is to be rep.
resented in the Senate of the United
States by man know to be absolutely
for sound money.
"You may say for me that when the
votes are counted on the second of No
vember that Maryland will be found oc-
cupyinP the same position she did in
1S96-safe In the sound-money column.

FINAL STAGE or THE MARYLAND
CONTEST.

The campaign enters its final stage
this week, and both parties will put forth
supreme efforts to encourage their own
followers and to bring to their support
voters who may still be undecided. Ow-
ing to the condition of the campaign the
proportion Of voters who have not vet
fully made up their minds il probably
larger than Is generally the case SO late
IN the canvass, and good deal of missi-
onary work may still be done. Not the
sort Of missionary work that Is accom-
plished by means Of bribery and upon
which the machine Is credited ms relying
greatly IL MOI mainly for success, but
that which is directed to the reason and
conscience of reasonable and conscienti-
Gus citizens. Voters Of this class who
still hesitate, drawn this way and that
by conflicting sentiments aud considera-
lions, are not likely to be influenced in
their final choice by partisan harangues
or violent defamation. There will be
plenty of this kind of thing this week,
but such voters will make up their YER
dict quietly for themselves after q care
ful and conservative weighing of the
whole case on its merits, without regard
to party prejudices or narrow political
sympathies.
This Is campaign i'm which the de-
mands Of patriotic duty make peculiarly
strong and earnest claims upon every
intelligent and public-spirited man. No
man who loves his State and city can
afford 20 close his ears to these demands
or 90 surrender himself blindly 20 the
leadership of prejudice or passion. The
evil result which will surely fiow frem
the triumph Of Gormanism and Rasin-
ism will inevitable carry with them keen
reproach and regret for all conscientious
men who may be misled into helping 20
reinstate these dangerous and debasing
influences
In addition 20 the important point
that the election of q Democratic Legis-
lature means the reelection Of Mr.. Cor
man to the United States Senate, and
means, therefore, direct blow to the
cause of q stable aud sound currency dem
ocrzts should not forget what the suprem-
acy Of Gornan and Rasin means for the
Democrats party itself in this State. Il

Our present reform election law
makes provision for divers things to be
done by the Supervisors of Elections.
but carefully eliminates all provisions
for Furnishing said supervisors for any
dereliction OF duty. As we read the
law. the Supervisors NAV disregard any
OF its provisions for their guidance and
no punishment Is provided to fit Their
case. Such IL reform! The law places
the people At the mercy OF the Supervi-
sors OF Election. We trust no Supervi-
sors will place themselves in such posi-
lions as t0 have TO implore the mercy of
che people. The darling people, when
aroused. have no mercy.

AMONG THE WHIST PLAYERS

The embers of the woman's congress had
scarcely died out before the hustle and ex-
citement of a new encampment upon a
new field is about to take its place. Put
in-Bay has kept most Of the strong local
men players at home getting into prac-
tice, which will take place In the form of
a match next Saturday night between the
two teams of the c. A. c. and c. Bi. c. of
eight players a side. twelve hands to be
played between the first and second fours
of each team. The following Saturday, the
18th, the c. "A. c. and the c. Bi. c. viii
play Baltimore and Walbrook Whist clubs
combined, Of twenty players on a side.
The strong whist Players composed OF
ladies from Philadelphia, Boston, Mnne-
apolis and many other cities, belonging to
the Woman's Whist League, Will soon be
competing with our strong whist teams.
The c. A. c. had quite a surprise I'm the
play of the second four last Monday night.
SweareHgen, Jackson and Callan playing
championship whist. The first team is
putting in some hard work, and will try
to demonstrate next Saturday night It's
title to the position which IL has assumed
on account of its hitherto strong playing.
The rivalry at the c. BIZ c. had brought
intense interest in the club. and some
strong playing last Wednesday night found
one of the strongest pair at the bottom of
the list
The play Of Cole and Briton is still Of the
highest quality and entities them to the
rank OF star players, while Barick and Low
will always hold their own as tournament
players. Fogg has been playing very
strong whist. and Wooten of the c. A. g.
can always be relied on for good whist,
and whist congress, Barney says. without
him would be very tame. Remack would
have no one to gibe him, Hamilton would
have no subsneaks to refer to and Tom
Borden would quit the tournament in dis
gust, regretting the 371a cents he had spent
in kilograms.
The women of the Crawford team have
added laurels to their already brilliant rep
utation as players, and the Washington
trophy would have been here had the rules
of the mems league been observed.
The rigor of the game should be strictly
observed. Every penalty for lead out of
turn. exposed card, and looking at a card
after II is turned and quilted. Also the ex-
clusion Of every one from the room but
the players and the referee. The non
observance of the last rule cost the Wash
ingtons the match in the play for the
Washington trophy, one of the Washington
players making two revokes, losing four
tricks to the Pottsville team and the
match, but winning the Heaths trophy for
second team.
The playing of Mrs. Nichols and Mrs
Austin of Washington was very strong as
their records show. And Mrs. Walls score
with Mrs. DIR. Neff is as creditable as her
score in the mixed double.
The playing of Mrs. Pilling was strong
as was her sisters, Miss Schmidt. who
bids fair to be one of the brilliant players
of the country.

The Right to Collect Duty mt Rats
Fixed by q Repealed Tariff BfII,

The Right to Collect Duty mt Ratcs
Fixed by a Repealed Tariff Bfu.
The Supreme Court has denied an ap-
plication for a writ of certiorari in the
case of the Anglo California Bank VS.. the
Secretary of the Treasury, which involves
the interesting question of the right of
the government to collect duty on i'm
ported merchandise withdrawn for con-
sumption at the rates fixed by a tariff act
which had been repealed.
In 1887 the bank imported for the Oregon
Pacific Railroad Company a large consgn-
ment of steel rails, which were kept In bond
for the legal period Of three years and
part of the lot being withdrawn, the re-
inainder was kept until March 8. 1885, un-
der orders by the Secretary of the Treasury
at the risk OF the purchaser to be with
drawn on payment of all the charges.
Two tariff acts had meantime been en-
acted reducing the duty on rails, SO that
II was then $.S4 q ton, and the Secretary
imposed the rate on the tariff OF 1884,
$s.70 ton, on the rails. The importer
contended that the duty of the Wilson act
only should be paid, and was sustained by
the board of general appraisers.
The circuit court and circuit court of an
peals indorsed the Secretary of tine Treas
ury, however, and the supreme court to-
day refused the motion for q writ
The court granted an application for n
writ Of certiorarf in the case Of the United
States. appellant, VS.. the Roessler and
wolves the question whether the classifica-
ton of an article for tariff purposes is set
tied upon the passage of the act, or be-
comes changed by subsequent changes IN
the use of the article. Importa tions of
acetanilid made In. 1893 are the bone of
contention. as this preparation of coal tar
was used for medicinal purposes when
classified in the tariff Of 1S9a but after
ward was used for dye stuff
The Circuit Court of Appeals decided that
1t should be duttsble as q medicinal prep
aratton at . per cent I'd yalorem Instead
of as preparation ct coal tar not specially
provided for by the act on which the rate
was 70 per cent.
