The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1899-08-24

| There is no doubt that the Repub-
LEANS of Maryland will select Cover
nor Lloyd Lowndes as their standard
bearer in this falls campaign. That
| their selection is a wise one is evil
denced by the hearty support he has
received from all sections of the State.
Never before in the administration of
State affairs has there been such
determined effort to look after the
interests of the people and 70 perform
all the duties of the governorship ir-
respective of the effect it might have
upon the political health of the chief
officer.
1t is not usual for one in prominent
life to jeopardize the chances of re-
tanning prominence by adhering
strictly to duty when that duty could
be easily avoided, but Gov. Lowndes
has performed his duty with the in
terest of the people at heart. Every
pledge of the Republican party has
been redeemed. The assessment law,
a law so long clamored for in vain
under previous administrations, has
brought equity in taxation. The new
election law, while imperfect in some
respects, is by far the best the State
has ever known, and the best that
could be devised without the knawl-
edge which comes from experience,
and has insured to every voter that
his vote will be counted.
Our public school system has been
taken out of the hands of politicians,
and no one has been more assiduous
in his work for our schools than the
present Governor. A Democratic pa
per says he has brought politics into
the schools; when a few years before
his election, the Democrats thinking
they would always have control of the
State, took the control of this institu-
ton from the hands OF the judiciary
and gave the power to the Governor
that he might use that as still another
means by which the Democratic con-
troll of the State might be more
strongly guaranteed, and it was used
for that purpose. The present Gov
ernor has exercised this authority,
entrusted by the Democrats, with the
greatest wisdom as is attested by the
condition of our schools and has re-
tanned at the head of the educational
department a man bitterly opposed
to him in politics, but one who was
recognized by Lowndes as the proper
man for the place. The comforting of
this authority upon the Governor has
acted like a boomerang on the Demo
Gratis, and they are attempting to

Too Many Friends.

AoO E'aahy
There are times when the manifes-
tations of devotion on the part of ones
best friends proves very embarrassing
to the party on whom they are Law
ished and this, according to all re-
ports, is condition that confronts
Col. VIM. Jennings Bryan. 1t goes
without a question that the Populists
are the most enthusiastic followers of
| the Nebraskan that are numbered in
his train, and their zeal in his behalf
is giving a little botheration in other
quarters. M
A dispatch from Washington says
The Democrats are practically com
PEELED to have an early convention
next year for the nomination of their
presidential ticket. If they do not
meet in convention at an unusually
early date the Populists will meet
and probably nominate Bryan ahead
OF them. When the Populists were
induced to indorse the Democratic
nomination of Bryan in '96 their OBJ
| jections to following in the wake of
the Democrats were answered with
| the reminder that it was their own
fault in not having met first and made
nomination which the Democrats
would then be compelled to indorse
if they intended to make Il fight for
! silver.
1t is known to be the intention of
the Populist leaders (the faction sup
porting Bryan in 800 to hold very
early convention and to offer their
nomination to Bryan before the Dem
ocratic convention has had an oppor-
tunity to nominate him. and if he
refuses or fails to accept, then to put
ticket in the field in opposition to
him and to unite all Populists in OPP
position to the Democratic party. To
avoid this very undesirable situation
many Democrats deem it to be i'm
portant that an early convention of
their party should be called. They
do not want Mr.. Bryan to be ticketed
in 1900 as a Populist candidate, nor
do they want to give an excuse for
the free silver element of the Popu-
lists to take offense and refuse to vote
the Democratic ticket Though this
would not be the reason assigned for
holding an early convention, it is the
leading motive for getting the Bryan
ticket in the field as soon as possible
next year. 1t is likely to be a race
between the Populists and the Dem
ocrats to determine who shall claim
Bryan.
Sometimes doughty opponent is
to be preferred to multitude of I'M
desirable friends, and if Bryan does
not realize this, the Democrats who
accept him because he seems the only
available candidate, are aware of the
fact.

1896 and 1900.

Mr.. Bryan AYERS that there is a
chance for electing a Democratic
President in 1900 by standing him on
the Chicago platform. That platform
was condemned by the people of the
United States in 1896. The arguments
then urged in favor of cheap dollars
have since been answered and con-
futed by events. Gold is plentiful.
Nation after nation has abandoned
bimetallism and adopted the gold
standard. The price of silver has not
advanced, though the output has
diminished. Wheat has gone up,
though silver declined.
With all his predictions at fault Mr..
Bryan, however, persists in his mad
ness. He is an ambitious man but
he has logical mind and knows very
we'll that if the Chicago platform be
abandoned he too must be left out in
the cold. To save himself he would
take the risk of sinking his party.
The party has year yet to consider
the matter. 1t may flout the opinion
of the world and humor Mr.. Bryan
and it may not.

To BE Judged by Results.

The Republican party in Maryland
asks to be judged by results. Theo-
ries are usually quite fine in print,
but plain facts are easier to be under
stood.
The State debt last year was reduc-
ed $466,0OO, and on September Both
next there will be cash balance in
the treasury of $6SO,OOO. In addition
to this it should be remembered that
the amount distributed to public
schools has been largely increased.
What has brought this result? The
economical and business-like govern
ment of the Republican party The
Democrats have utterly failed to show
a single flaw or weak point in the ad-
ministration of Governor Lownds.
and this is the best of reasons why
the people of the State will endorse
him and his party for another term.

The Credit Where It Belongs

For years and years John Walter
Smith, Governor Lowndes' opponent
in the present contest, introduced a
free school book law at each session
of the General Assembly. As regu-
Iarly as it was introduced it was bur
led and never heard of again. Mr..
Smith should now do Governor
Lowndes the honor to come out and
publicly acknowledge that it was the
latter's presence at Annapolis that
made possible the passage of this law.
The honest people know that it was
the Republican party that gave to
the State the law, and no Sophistry
of the ring Democrats will be suf1i-
cient TO change this opinion. The
Democrats as of old are always ready
to steal the thunder of the Republi-
can party.-Worcester Advocate.
