STATE ISSC ES IN STATE
ELECTIONS.

On October II, in an article discussing
the political situa ton in Maryland, the
Sun said: 1T is to be hoped that in the
little more than three weeks now remain
ing before election day nothing will occur
to rob Maryland of the credit of conduct
ing purely State election upon purely
State issues. X = Inasmuch as neither
Governor nor Legislature will have any
| thing to do with the question of the cur
rency there is nothing to prevent gold
Democrats and silver Democrats from
cordially uniting in support of the same
| candidates, where these candidates are
personally and individually worthy of
support Their divergent views upon the
subject of free coinage and of the Chicago
platform have nothing to do with the
case"
If the gold and silver question is to be
brought into this campaign, those who
| are responsible for it must not deceive
| themselves with the hope or expectation
| that one national issue can be introduce
ed to the exclusion of all the rest. If
silver is to be used as boyle to frighten
| timid voters in al election in which the
1 national finances are not directly inyolv-
| ed, how shall the question Of imperialism
D.; be kept out: If Mr. Bryan is to be made
an issue, how shall President Mckinley
| be eliminated, with ali that his admins
traton stands forts Eagans, Ayers,
| Carriers and Hannas. Admit one natinal
| issue, and the door is thrown open to all.
| Is there any party which wishes to make
| its light on an Endorsement of the con-
| duct of the war with Spain: Shall the
| fever infected camps of the South be aD-
proved, with the beef scandal, the APP
pointments of incompetent officers, and,
| to bring the matter near home, the brok-
en- health of Maryland volunteers, the
victims of bad food and camps in which
sanitary precautions were neglected? If
gold is made an issue, all the others must
be admitted upon an equal basis, and the
voter will probably be influenced as much
by his antipathy to McKinleyism and i'm
perialism as by his unwarranted fear that
some harm may be done to the national
currency by the result of an election
which has no bearing upon the policy of
the National Government.
Nothing has occurred in Maryland since
October II, or can occur before election
day, to affect in the faintest degree the
force of the SIMS statement that this
should be a purely State election upon
purely State issues. Those who may at
upon national issues may have cause to
regret their course.

"On the free schoolbook bill it seems to
me that the Republicans are endeavofing
to rob Mr.. Smith of the credit il the same
way that they are trying to rob Admiral
Schley of the honor of winning the victory
at Santiago. But they can no more rob
Col. Smith of the honor of being the father
of the schoolbook bill than they can rob
Schley of his laurels. (Cheers-) In the
record of the Republicans was do moth
ing record, for they we're divided into fac
tions throughout the entire session. They
even failed to elect Police Commissioner
by this faction business between the Nal
stertes and the administration. If it had
not been for the Democratic members in
the last days of the session there would
not even have been an appropriation bill
passed. They claim great results, but
they accomplished nothing. They even
claim great credit for the new charter, but
that measure would not have been passed
habit not been for the efforts of Mayor
elect Thomas G. Hayes, who wrote to each
Democratic member Of the Legislature
and asked him to support the charter.

Lowndes Is concerned there has never
been more partisan Governor than he.

GOV. LOWNDES
WRONG AGAIN

Gov. Lowndes in his vain endeayor
to rob Hon. John Walter Smith of the
credit due him for his efforts in having
the Free School Book law passed, has
been proclaiming throughout the State
that 4 Republican member ofthe Iiousr
from Calvert county, Mr.. CAN'T, had
introduced in 1886 q bill like that
passed by the Legislature in 1896, and
that therefore the Republican party is
TITLED to the credit OF the whole mat
ter.
1t has now been discovered that the
Journal of the House of Delegates
page l!9, OF 1884, two years before Mr..
Giants appearance, shows that Mr.. j.
Martin McNabb, a Democratic member
from Hartford, as early in the session
as January Oath, introduced bill pro-
viding for free books in the public
schools that was referred to the COM
mittee on education. Two Democratic
members OF the committee, Mr.. Plasket
OF Baltimore city, and Mr.. Lieb, of the
county, voted for favorable report on
the bill, and Mr.. Wallace, Of Dorches-
ter, and Mr.. Markell, of Frederick, two
Republicans, voted against and pre-.
vented the report.
Again on February 18th, 1856, Mr.
McNabb re-introduccd the same bill
Nineteen days later, March 9th, this
Mr.. Cant introduced a similar bill
that never saw the light of day.
"Conclusion is inevitable" SAYS tLe
Hartford Democrat, that the first two
free book bills were introduced hy :
Democrat, showing that the idea hat
its origin i'll Democratic brains ant
that the paternity of the free book law
now on the statute books is due to Col

The Republican platform of 1897
contained the following: "In a Repub
lican government people are the source
o all power, and the primary meeting
Is the fountain head from which all
p lltical action must flow. 1t is of the
utmost Importance, therefore, that
every possible safe guard against i'm.
proper practices should be thrown
about it, and to that end we favor
Iegaltsed primaries and the enactment
OF laws relative thereto
We would respectfully direct the
attention of the Governor and his gal
Int band ofreformcrs to this unfulfilled
pledge. There will be trouble in getting
every member OF the partnership to
agree to this.

TO GROVER CLEVELANDS.

We observe that a good many of the
boys who were named Grover Cleveland
in 1882 and 1884 are coming into the col
leges and high schools now All of them
may feel that they will never have cause
to be ashamed OF their n:....e. We do not
hear much of Grover Cleveland these
times, but he is yet growing man. When
the history of his two administrations is
clearly and honestly written it will be
understood by thoughtful people that he
was one of the greatest and biggest Presi-
dents this country has had, and the more
there is known of him the bigger and
greater he will be- His work was done
with his pen and the finances of his
country, but it demanded more nerve than
Jackson needed in fighting the bank, q,
Lincoln used in conducting the Civil War,
and it rescued this country from danger
as serious as it has ever been threatened
with. Cleveland had the courage to de-
fend the credit of these United States, and
in doing it to defy his own friends and
party and the clamor and abuse of mob
extending from one ocean to the other.
We were glad to see Governor Shaw, of
Iowa, Republican, declare in public
speech the other day that this Union
crawled across one of the most serious
crisis in its history on the stiff back of
Grover Cleveland That is the truth,
too.
Sonny, as you grow up, don't ever be
ashamed to write your name in full
Grover Cleveland Jones"-and when
you have vote to announce yourself a
Grover Cleveland Democrat He is the
kind of man he would like to see you
all try to be-the kind of man who be-
lieving certain thing to be right. sticks
by it, sticks to it, no matter what powers
or clamors or lies or dangers may assail
him; who, believing that his duty is to do
thing, does it and goes right on doing
it in the face of the very devil himself and
regardless of personal consequences; who
will stand by his country and his promise
against his party, his friends, his enemies
and all the combined powers of the
earth
That is the way to be great man and
to achieve great results. We fought the
Spanish War successfully because our
credit was unlimited. and our credit was
unlimited because Grover Cleveland said
that while there was an ounce of gold in
the world this Union would meet its obi
cations in gold on demand, and he fought
it out steadily and sturdily on that line
Because of that same stubborn back of
his the country is prosperous as it is to-
day, and most of you boys who are nam
ed for him are liable to go to college and
school.
The Grover Cleveland people are not
heard of much in the newspapers and are
not controlling Democratic politics now,
but the woods are full of them, and if
they could be marshalled they would be
an enormous and impressive host.-Green-
vile Is. CO. Ne,os.
