SIMPSONS LATEST CLAIM.

Considering the reputation he has
made in the past for claiming credit
for things to which he is not entitled,
no one will be surprised at Admiral
Simpsons latest claim, which is that
he sent Captain Chadwick, of the
cruiser New York, to General Shafter,
and that Chadwick wrote the letter
which caused General Toral to sur
render the Spanish forces in the cit,
of Santiago. Acting with more gener-
osity than he has shown in the Schley
matter, Admiral Sampson comedies to
Shafter the credit of having signed
and caused this letter to be sent to
General Toral. All other credit, how
ever, Sampson claims for himself,
through his proxy, Chadwick.
For bold effrontery, this is even
worse than the claim he has made for
the credit Of the naval victory off
Santiago. In making it, Admiral
Sampson states that Shafter was not
capable by education of understand
ing the results of the battle, and that
it was not until he, by his proxy,
Chadwick, explained those results
that Shafter saw there was a. posi-
bility of inducing the Spanish com
mander to surrender. Shafter has
not yet been beard from in regard to
this latest bit of Sampsonian pre-
sum- ton, but the fact that his official
report is silent in regard TO Chadwick
gives a shadow of what his answer
| will be.
If anything was needed to complete
the disgust the nation feels over Samp'
sons endeavor to usurp credit, this
certainly supplies it. 1t was bad
enough for Admiral Sampson to claim
the credit for the Santiago naval
victory when the records, the reports
written and oral, and his own admis
siops prove that he at no time was in
the fight But for him to now ster
forward, fifteen months after the sur
render, and claim that he taught the
land forces their duty, aud cause the
capitulation of the city-when officia
documents show that he was an abso
lutte nonentity in the naval engage
ment, let alone having anything to dc
with the land operations-will but ado
| fuel to the fire of resentment concern
| ing his conduct. AS for its effect, il
will be the same as his prior claim
The people of the country will not be

slider the source and dismiss it from
their minds, just as they have dom
with his attempt to claim the credi
for the naval victory.-Bdlto. Ameri

SUPREME ISSUE OF THE NEXT

ION Tuesday, While President Nc
Kinley was speeding through Chicago
on his return from his electioneering
tour in the West, meeting was held
in that city of delegates from various
parts of the country for the purpose of
organizing the movement in opposi-
ton to President McKinley's policy in
the Philippines. The President did
not stop long enough in Chicago to
make a speech there, but all day he
was addressing at different points Oh
his route crowds Of idlers, college lads
and school children, and uttering plati-
tudes about destiny duty and the
flag. Thus, at Waukegan, Wisconsin,
where, according to the dispatch,
hundreds of school children were
massed about the platform on which
the President spoke and all had been
provided with flags the President
said :
"'I think know, am sure know,
what is uppermost in every mind to-
day. You are thinking of Your coun-

In his speech at Elkton Mr.. Rayner

highly respectable politician, but l

his non-partisanship. The people
would respect him in higher degree

and incidentally to secure his own
political advancement. The indie

Sometime ago the Governor issued a
bold proclamation that he had con-
cluded not to appoint a successor to
Police Commissioner Schryver, when
every lawyer at the bar who under

fession knew that under the statute
the incumbent held over until the

Governor had no right to make An APP

Lowndes, but let him Givest himself

TO THE DEMOCRATS OF MARYLAND

On the seventh day o. next Novevember the
people Of Maryland will hrve an opportunity
to choose their Governor and other State and
County officers. Whether or not the present
record as culnent history known to all men,
and with the opportu mites of retention of
power, shall be continued. Is the question that
is brought face to face to every voter.
That if is the duty of every citizen Of this
State to exercise the right of franchise is a
truth that can hot be too frequently reiterat-
ed That many of those best qualified by
education, knowledge and experience for an
intelligent exercise of this right, are those
most prone to neglect it is a fact that calls
forth this appeal to every man who believes in
efficient public servants and honest and capa-
BILE conduct of affairs, 10 lay asde-sacrifice if
need be-his 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 general regis
tration this year. but for the purpose of sup
Elementary registration the registers will sit in
the several election precincts of your County
on Tuesday, October 8, from A. N. to Z p. NJ.
and Tuesday, October 10, during the same
hours For the purpose of revision only, at
will cit on Tuesday, October 18th. Remember
these dates.
Not only is it the duty of every citizen to
register himself, and, through the regular
channels of his party, to see that his friends
and neighbors are registered. but it is likewise
his duty to see that the lists are purged of all
names that by reason of death, removal, crime,
illegality or fraud should be stricken there
from.
Let every Democrat interest himself in this
important matter, and the cause of good Gov
erument so auspiciously insugurated in the
City of Baltimore in May, will be continued in
