A Decided Change in Sentiment.

This is the way Mr.. W. H. Thorne. the
editor of the "Globe Quarterly Review, a
noted abolitionist, noisy agitator in the anti
slavery ranks, and an enthusiastic negro lover
of the days before the war Of 1861, now writes
If the negro race:
During the spring OF the year 1898, and
after more than thirty years of sincere and
old-fIshioned abolition sympathy with the
negro race, made two visits to several of our
Southern States, with results as follows:
''First-All my old abolition SympathieS.
which had been weakening for over ten years
in view of the nsufferable self. assertion of our
negroes since the day Of their emancipation.

for which had no further use.
''Second-On returning to New York
published in the next issue of the Globe Re

and our so-called education of the negro-and
perhaps aided by these absurdities-th
negroes of this country were more than ever
"A shiftless, unteachabe, immoral race, icap-

unworthy of American citizenship.

coming a public scandal. If there are amy

Some More About DEVILS Dens.
SILVER Run. Mp. Jan. u. 1898

SILVER Run. Nd. Jan. u, 1898.
MESSRS. EDITORS In reply to the com
plant that the gentleman calling himself re-
porter made in the ADVOCATE last week, we
would say that we did not use the columns of
your paper to fire shot shot into his camp,
and that he was not compelled to ask for
space in which to correct our wilful or erro-
neous statement. as he calls it, in that part
of his letter referring to devils den on Church
street. We said in our letter that he had
said something about there being devil den
on Church street. We did not write what he
did say about it. as it was not worth repeat
ing. In regard to our having nothing to do
with it we would say that we have as much
right 10 defend ourselves as any other So
called reporters. If we have no right to re-
port the truth to Il widely circulated paper,
what right has he to report his so-called
'Jolles' to any other paper? He says we
left it for our readers to infer that there are
more dirty, vile places on Main street, but he
does not say there are none of them on Church
street. Now, where does the joke come in !?
We do not turn the thing into joke, but we
mean exactly what we say. A correspondent
that writes letters just for a joke had better
not write about devils dens unless he is bet
ter acquainted with them and the number of
them in his own town. We do not write this
to make disturbance, but we write it to let
the people know that the ADVOCATE and its
correspondents are not to be trampled under
foot. And now, for the benefit of the AdvO
cate borrowers and faw-fnders in this place,
we will not sign our name reporter or any
thing else that may not be true, but will give
our initials +. i. {.

WHY LOwNDES WITHDREW.
Forced Out of the Senatorial Fight
by the B. and O.
From the Baltimore Herald, January 6.

From the Baltimore Herald, January &.
Since the Withdrawal lof Governor LOwndes
from the Senatorial fight all sorts oil stories
have been going the rounds concerning the
influence that was brought to bear on his eX-
celency to make him give up the battle.
The interview with a ell-knOwn Republl-
can. published in the Herald on the day sub
seqIent to the Governor great vanishing act,
wherein it was stated that the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad had done the work, hit the
nail on the head. but there were some inter
esting details that were unknown at the time.
These additional facts were related to a
reporter of the Herald last night and 1t APP

His EXcellency Is Il member OF TINS nrm,
which. It seems, has been the recipient OF
kindly consideration on the part OF the Bau :
more and Ohio in the matter of cut rates on
coal shipments.
The railroad was opposed to the candidacy
of Governor LowmdeS for the Senate. Its
opposition was desperate. The Black -Sher
dan Wilson Company were Informed that the
distinguished and aspiring member of their
firm must be called off. and Immediately,
al that. Governor LOwndes was seen. tie
at frs refused to retire from the field. Then
all the inference that the railroad could com
mand was brought to bear upon him. He
was plainly told that if he insisted on remain
ing in the battle the SIM and the .NerS would
fight his candidacy vigorously.
AT length he consented to attend the con
ference. which took place at the Maryland
Club ON Thursday night of last week. There
were present at the dinner, for that is the
form the conference took. Governor Lowndes,
Senator George l.. Wellington. +. j. y.

muddIc. and they succeeded at Il late hour in
sec ring signature of the Governor to a stale
melt giving his reasons for getting out of the
contest. Then the Governor was congratu-
lated for his patriotism and seIf-abnega ton,

A Singular Case.

BUFFALO, n. Y. JAN 1e.-Willie Gipp
awoke today. 1t was his first approach to
consciousness since the night he killed his
mother and shot his father, three years ago
last November
He was employed as a car Inspector by the
Lehigh Valley Railroad, and on the night of
November 5, 1894. he went to work as usual,
but returned for his overcoat. He put it on
and started out again, and his mother follow
ed him to the door to lock it after him, when
he turned and shot her in the head, killing
her instantly. His father rushed from the
bedroom, and Willie shot him through the
cheek
Willie escaped, and twenty four hours later
was found hiding in a barn, cropping about in
a mad way for his hat He was taken to an
asylum and put to bed, and has been there
ever since. The case puzzled the doctors.

McComas for Senator.

After Mr.. Lowmdes found that he had no
chance to he elected United States Senator,
even through the prostitution of patronage, at
the dictation of John X. Cowem, who seems
still to be bossing the Republican party,
Jndce Louis +. McComaS was agreed upon
for Senator
Mr.. McComas is one of the most bitter
partisans to be found in the Republican
party in any state. When he was member
of Congress his speeches indicated that he
WAS an intense hater of the South, and he
even abused the laws and people of his own
state.
He was an advocate of the Force Bill. He
believed in the Federal government taking
charge of local elections, and he also knew
that Federal control meant Republic an sue
cess.
Mr.. McComas. even if he were IA citizen Of
MARYLAND, is an unfit man to represent tins
state in the United States Senate. The AID
voCATE does not regard him as Il citizen OF
MARYLAND. He is Il federal Judge. in the city
Of Washington, holding life position. He
lives there and keeps his family there. In
the summer he spends few months at the
home of his father-in law. at WilliamspOrt, III
Washington county. While thus visiting he
applied for registration rs voter, and was
refused. He appealed to the court and Judge
Stake ordered his name enrolled, though Ill
doing so the court went exactly contrary To
the Court OF Appeals ina decision remd cred
in a case in Charles county.
Mr.. McComas has been holding Il life post
lion in Washington for about eight years. II,
would probably not thought of claiming Il
residence in Maryland had notan unfortunate
turn of the political tide given him AN oppor
tunitv to enter political life again
Even if McComaS were Il bono .Hdc cltIIsl
of M;uvland the fact that the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad wants him elected United
STATES Senator should be Il sufficient reason
TO turn him down. That corporation, CON
trelIed by John X. Cowen, would not favor
McComas unless McComaS would do the bid
ding Of that corporation.
The ADVOCATE directs attention 10 an art
rle in this issue on Mr.. McComas record.

From the Philadelphia (Pa.) Ledger, Republican
Mark A. Hanna is now the duly-elected.
by bare majority, Senator from Ohio. to
serve until 1903. The struggle for his seat
was fierce one, and charges of bribery were
freely made. They are believed by many.
but were not proved, and there is no talk of
an investigation OF. them. Nevertheless the
contest has not bettered the reputation of
ONO politics and politicians, which was
rather shady before, and that State will be

man of great force of character. and NAV he
an unobjectiouable Senator, but he will not

or the people of Ohio. He will Represents

will not give him singular distinction m the

alive Republicans of his home district did
Mr.. McComas make his exit from Maryland
politics. He now seeks the rehabilitation OF
his political fortunes through the influence OF
a powerful corporation and by the aid of men
who have the assumption to style themselves
Democrats.
1t may be added that the general impress
sion among politicians is that it was the super
seryiceable zeal of Mr.. McComas, as the spe-
cial aid and coadjutor of Mr. Lodge and Mr.,
Mckinley, in putting the Force Bill through
the House that constituted his chief claim to
appointment al the hands of Mr.. Harrison TO
the Federal Judgeship which he now holds.
