SPEAKER REEDS WARNING.
Contained in His Second speech Dur
ing the Maine Campaign.

Speaker Thomas B. Reed made his sec
ond political speech in the campaign yes
terday afternoon at a republican confer
ence held at Portland, Me. He said, among
other things:
We are passing through transitory
period. Many questions are to be met and
must be met and decided within the next
few years, and some of us don't know
how they will be decided. Perhaps the
only way will be to apply to their solu-
ton sound common sense and compare
notes with each other.
After all, the solution of all the ques-
tons must be left to the plain common
sense of all the people. One man may be
right some of the time; all men will not
be wrong all of the time. We are to ex-
hibit our good common sense by abstain
ing from quick judgment.
We shall for the next few years need
all the wisdom, all the experience all the
patriotism of all the people in settling the
questions, and We must meet and decide

A meeting of prominent democrats from
all parts of the state of Maryland was
held at o'clock this afternoon at the Met

president of the Lakeland Democratic AS
ISOLATION, under the auspices of which the
conference was called. The original call for
the meeting stated that it would be for the
purpose of guaranteeing that Bryan free
silver men should be placed in the front In
Maryland, and that the Chicago platform
should be the platform for future opera
tons in the democratic party.
Mr.. Newman called the meeting to order

platform in the front wherever nomina-
tions are made in Maryland.

ment was with the President for fifteen or
twenty minutes after the departure of Gen
Shafter. Gen. Eagan assured the President
that he is earnest in desiring a searching
investigation of his work during the war.
He is so sure that the department will
come out with flying colors that he ex-
pressed the hope today that the President
would appoint commission hostile to the
administration. I'VE can even then be
sure of a favorable verdict" he said to d
reporter for The Star.
Many Complaints Investigated.
Gen. Eagan told a Star reporter that
there are numbers Of cases in his depart
ment which show the absurdity of
charges which have been made" During
the war, he said, many anonymous COM
plants reached his office of soldiers being
starved or of lacking attention when sick
Nearly all of these were investigated by
being referred through various officials to
the colonies and captains of the men said
to have been iil-treated. In every instance
he said, these Investigations had shown
that there was no foundation for the
stories.
These complaints Were not investigated
by my department or officials belonging to
1t, said Gen. Eagan, but were referred
back through the adjutant generals office
to the commander of the camp, and by him
TO the colonel of the regiment and captain
of the company.
THE reports of the latter are on file in
my office in many cases.
So far as his branch is concerned Gen.
Eagan said he courted this investigation as
well as one by Congress.

verbally and by letter between the parties
to the agreement that McCaferty would

OF sl,pO0 each, and that he and his friends
WCuld purchase certain los in square 1872

and prosecute to maintain said title at
their own cost and expense, and that the
said Boogher was irnmedid .ely to be placed
in sufficient funds to push the pros ecdtjon
OF Sald estate. For causes. it is altered.
McCafferty had only been able to cornajy
in part with the coutrdc-, and as a result
Booghers liability mad increased TO GOO,
in protecting the interest of the estate |;
was thereupon agreed that N consideration

alton OF an agreement made May 20, lSgD,
batWeen McCafferty and W. H. Armstrong

agreement were to furnish 80 100 for ten

completion of the contract of May 10 sell
six or seven more of the certificates and
pay over to Boogher the purchase money
so as TO make a fund sufficient to complete
the legal prosecution of the case ever and
above what was to be used by Buogher to
pay the debts incurred by him
The defendant, it is alleged, failed to
comply with his part of the contract and
by this failure the plaintiff has been DAM
