men in the field. Another officer in
whom the Beers put much faith was
General Jan Kock. who was originally
in command of the Boer forces at In
gagnani, but was wounded early in the
war. Commandant Botha, who was
killed in the sortie at Kimberley, was a
famous Dutch fighter who first dis
tinguished himself at Brenkhorst
Spruit. 1t was this same Kimberley en-
gagement that brought forward Col
onel Murray as fighting officer of
great tact and energy.

z OF the Boer officers, the willy and fox
like Joubert and the intrepid Cronje

eral Cropje will be remembered as the
vanquisher of Jameson in the battle at
Krugersdorp and is generally regarded
as the best fighting man in the Boer
army. He fought at Laingsnek and is

pressed with Redvers Buffers ability
IN the Red river campaign, seeing in
him the making of great Soldier. He

tactical skill is instructive He is to-

To the Democrats of Maryland.

On the 7th day Of next November the
people OF Maryland will have an opportu-
nifty to choose their Governor and other
State and county officers. Whether or not
the present administration of affairs in this
State, with it's record as current history
known to all men, and with the opportuni
ties of retention of power, shall be con.
tinued, is the question that is brought face
to lace To every voter.
That II is the duty Of every citizen Of this
State to exercise the right Of franchise is a
truth that cannot be too frequently reter-
ated. That many Of those best qualified by
education, knowledge, and experience for
an intelligent exercise of this right, are
those most prone to neglect II is a fact that
calls forth this appeal TO every man who be.
lieves in efficient public servants and honest
and capable conduct Of affairs, to lay aside
sacrifice II need be-hs personal interests
for few hours and devote that time to the
service OF his county and State.
Prior to the exercise of this high right OF
citizenship, registration is necessary. In
the counties of this state there is no gen.
eral registration this year, but for the pur.
pose OF supplementary registration the reg
listers will sit in the several election pre-.
cincts OF your county on Tuesday, October
8, from A. NJ. to7P. NJ. and Tuesday,
October 10, during the same hours. For the
purpose Of revision only, at which date no
new names will be added, they will sit on
Tuesday, October 18th. Remember these
dates.
Not only is It the duty Of every citizen 10
register himself, and, through the regular
channels Of his party, TO see that his friends
and neighbors are registered, but 1t is like
wise his duty to see that the lists are purged
of all names that by reason Of death, re.
moval, crime, Illegally, or fraud should be
stricken therefrom.
Let every democrat interest himself in
this important matter, and the cause oil
good government so auspiciously inaugu.
rated in the City Of Baltimore In May, will
be continued in the State in November.

REPUBLICAN, STATE TICKET,

AS outlined by the public press for the
past two or three weeks, the Republican
State Convention, which assembled in Bal.
timore on Wednesday of last week, uomi
mated Gov Lloyd Lowndes for Governor,
Philip Lee Goldsborough, Of Dorchester
county, for Comptroller, and John V. L.
Findlay, Of Baltimore city, for Attorney
General.
1t is represented that the proceedings Of
the convention were harmonious. Indeed,
the program had been so carefully arranged
that not the slightest ripple Of dissatisfac
ton was allowed to come 10 the surface
The indignation, however, Of the Malster
element, after they had learned that the
plank endorsing the Master municipal ad.
ministrstion, which had been prepared and
submitted to the committee had been thrown
out, could not be hushed, although the most
strenuous efforts were made to do 50, Mayor
Malster remsrking; well, they may hear

1t is further represented, that practically
no restrictions were placed on the entrance
TO the Academy Of Music, the building In
which the convention assembled, "yet the
gallery was but fairly filled, the peanut
heaven was empty, and the enthusiasm con
lined TO the delegates composing the conven
ton" The handwriting was on the wall

his name was announced quite laugh went

on the stage was Sidney E. Mudd, the DO

the loud mouthed, braggadocio chairman of
the Republican State Central Committee.
