THREATENED THE CARNIVAL

|. THREATENED THE CARNIvAL.-A
crank caused some excitement in Cardi-
nal Gibbonss residence in Baltimore,
Nd, yesterday evening. He was about
"a wears old and had wild look IN his
ewes. He forced bis way into the house
by ringing the bell and pushed the at
tendant aside when the door was open
ed. When the Cardinal appeared the
stranger called him devil" and be-
came violent. Policemen were sum-
moned and took the man to the police
station, where he gave his name as
George Thompson. He acted like q
wild man, connecting himself with the
Cardinals residence by means OF an
imaginary telephone and shouting all
kinds OF messages.

ACCORDING TO Congressman Jones,
the chief promoter OF the anti.Martin
movement, only thirty-six counties will
be represented at his proposed gather
ing in Richmond tomorrow. But there
are one hundred counties in the State,
and then, too, Mr.. Jones does not say
how many of the thirty-six to which he
refers, elected delegates at meetings held
in private rooms by a few interested
people. But, two, or even one, county,
would have done as well as thirty-si1,
or the whole hundred, for that matter,
as the so-called delegates" were not
elected or appointed by the democrats
of their respective counties, but only by
people who would change the United
States Constitution in order to defeat
the reelection Of Senator Martin, and,
of course, will, and can, have no posi-
Bile effect upon the democratic party Of
Virginia, or any of its committees,
State, district, or county. Good, true
and consistent Virginia democrats. who
have intelligence enough to know that
the safety of their State, as long as the
present form of government shall exist,
depends upon the inviolability of the
Constitution, will have nothing to dc
with the so-called convention"
