DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
Lee and MCHenry the Favorites
at Hagerstown.

HAGERsTOWN, MD, Sept. 28.-The
delegates to the Sixth Congressional
District democratic convention here
held a caucus for an hour previous
to assembling. The names Of Blair
Lee, of Montgomery county, and
James A. McHenry, Of Cumberland.
were submitted as available candi-
dates and favorably considered, the
other gentlemen who have been men
toned, it being stated, have declined
to accept the nomination.
The resolutions framed and adopted
by the convention pledge obedience
to all the laws of the democratic par
ty, and adhere to the principles of
Jefferson and Jackson: denounce
trusts and monopolies; assert for a
higher craftsmanship in the nation
and for the development of civic vir-
tues among the people.
The resolutions further declare in
favor of the money of the Constitu-
tion-gold and silver without dis
elimination against either, and are
opposed to monometalism. That the
late war tax must he reduced; that
the republican tariff is a burden to
the people. The valor of American
soldiers and sailors was eXtolled and
tribute paid to the achievement of
Commodore Schley. Secretary AIger
and the War Department is arraigned
for criminal negligence in the resolu-
tiOns which assert that the response
bility must be fixed by a democratic
Congress.
Alex. King, of Cumberland, in the
caucus, offered the following resolu-
ton, which was unanimously adop-
ted:
''Inasmuch as the Mckinley admin
istration has failed to keep wheat up
to the dollar mark. we invite all far
mers to vote the democratic ticket. "

WEDNESDAY, MAY Is, 1898.
This paper is Democratic in principles
and Is Independent in its rieics on a" soca
questions.


In a number of the newspapers, yester-
day, an interview with Polo de BernaDe'
SPANS spy-in-general, appeared, in when
there was a pretense made of giving the
Spanish plan of campaign. There is a GER
tain probability in what he says ana
therefore it is worth while giving him a
moments attention. His story is that the
spanish fleet has orders not to fight.
The most it is to do is to strike a pfoW
here or there if it a find an
unattended spot on our coast. roi
the rest, Admiral Cervera IS 10
keep out of the way of our ships.
Afraid of another Manila affair. Spains
according to Polo. has decided to leave
the defence of Cubs TO General Blanc
until next autumn. when the island VIII
be abandoned, after the United States
has expended $40, OOo,o 900 a week SPANS
onlv idea now is to make the war as
costly to rhe United States as possible
and inffict as much damage as possible
on American
This is a lovely plan-in the minds OF
fhe ~half-addled Dons. But it has it's de-
fects. one of these is that there are few
uoints on our coast which are at the
same time undefended and worth strik-
ing at. The notion that the Spaniaros
would shell small places along the coast
out of mere malice is nonsensicai. Ihey
hava moi fhe coal to do it, and, firing
at long range a bombardment COSTS al
beast dollar for dollar for all the prop
erty destroyed. Every discharge from a
ten-inch gun on the viscaya or Almirante
Oouendo would cost Spain 800 to SOU,
and. taking account of misses, it would
be rash to say that the danger done TO
such a place as Long Branch or Atlantic
city would average 800 per shot fired
And then, bombardment is a game two
can play at, and our ships could go just
as far in making things pleasant along
the Spanish coast as Senior Camara OF
cevera could on our shores. If the wal
were reduced to a campaign of wanton
destruction, it would not take us long to
carry it into the enemy's country. Cadiz
and saragossa and numerous other busy
ports might have a sad experience OF
Dewey tactics.
Finally, there is such a thing as in
demnity in modern warfare, and if Spain
should really cause us my great hnan-
ciaI loss she might have to settle for II
by the surrender of her ships, hei
islands, and probably more dollars than
even the Cuban war has cost her.

1.-THE CONFEDERATE spy
Excellent Amateur Performance by
ST. Pau1's Catholic Club.

The amateurs of st. Paul's Catholic
Club again distin guished themselves last
evening and for the second time presented
the Southern drama, THE Confederate
Spy" The performance of last evening
was much better than that of the previous
night, but still the piece lacks rellearsing.
One or two more thorough rehearsals
would fit every one OF the member to his
or her part. Although the play ran off
smoothly when it finally did get started,
there was a very long wait before the
curtain was rung UP, and the large au-
dience was very impatient. Consequently,
the piece was not finished until after
eleven O'clock.
The audience of last evening was fully
twice as large as that of the might be-
fore, and was also very a~ppreciative.
There are some very pretty scenes i'm the
play, especially the one showing camp
life in the Union army. The scene where
a number of soldiers were sleeping under
trees by a camp fire, and the guns stacked
nearby, with a sentry on guard, was ex-
cellent, and the audience were not slow
to applaud the fine piece Of work. In this
scene Mr.. James McDevitt a a song
entitled Gust Break the News to
Mother" He was forced to repeat it a
second time.
The play deals with incidents which took
place in the war between the North and
South. Philip Bradley. the Spy" has
been captured within the Union line and
is sentenced to be shot, asepapers found
on him prove he is a spy. Bradley is ua-
consciously placed as a prisoner in his old
home in Virginia, but his captors are not
aware of it. While there Bradley is UNI
der a strong guard. He meets his sister,
who learns of his position and implores
him to escape. Maud Bradley is in love
with George Waterman, a young Union
lieutenant, and who is guarding her
brother. For the love of Maud, Waterman
aids Bradley to escape, which he does,
and finally all ends happily.
Harry O'Mealia as the spy does admir-
able work. and he was frequently APP
plauded. His makeup was very good,
ard at times his acting was equal to
that of a professional.
George Reilly in his character of Sockery
Sneidelbecker, the German soldier, had
the audience laughing every time he APP
peared on the stage. His dialect was also
GOOD and his singing OF a comic song was
very amusing. Minnie Holman as Maud
Bradley filled the part of the heroine
credftably. Very good was Martin Roeh-
renbeck in the part OF Fred Ainsley, a
rebel, who was associated with Bradley.
Joseph Donovan as the cofored gentleman
was acceptable. as was William McKenna
| as Colonel Willard. Charles Kelly filled
the part of General Banks and Nellie Nc
Cormack and Joseph O'Neill filed minor
| parts very we'll. The last performance
| will be given this evening.

has evidently learned moth
ang. Not even the severest punishment
the people have ever inflicted upon a
party in these regions has taught her
and her bosses moderation or decency-
The crime committed by Mayor Van
Wyck, this week., under the orders of the
Tammany boss, exce1s in infamy any
thing in the previous history of New
York. Even in the Tweed days, there is
nothing quite equal to this blow at good
government and insult to the people.
The so-called reformers are really re-
sponsible, however. for all that is now
taking place. They allowed themselves
TO be made the annex to Tom Platt's
kite In the election four years ago. They
were the means of handing the city over
TO a mob of partisans, who, while they
robbed and plundered in secret, made a
parade Of virtue by introducing a reign
of terror in the city in certain special
directions. The inevitable revolt against
this policy of true corruption and tyran-
meal pretense of morality brought Tam
many back into power, and, In spite OF
her recklessness, we believe she is likely
to t there.
A not dissimilar experience has been
that of Philadelphia, the parties being re-
versed. In 1881, a reform movement
swept that city out Of the control Of the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ring. The Phar-
iseeism and misgovernment of the new
crowd brought the Republicans back into
power in 1883, stronger than ever. They
are there still and the corruptions and
denominations of their rule fully equalfhe
worst features of Tammanyism- Yet
there is no prospect Of displacing them
because the voters can stand anything
better than the ways Of the professional
reformer.
Even If Governor Black should remove
van Wyck-as he should dove doubt
II the effect on the public mind will be
reassuring, for every one knows
Black is, and what~sort of thing an in
quiry into a nine million robbery IN fhe
STATE canals is, under his regime.
