man thinks that if the election
was this year instead of next,
there would be no doubt of the
tickets being headed by Bryan
and Mckinley again, and expects
that they will be anyway. Speak
ing of next years Democratic
platform, he said: "The three
most prominent features in the
platform, in my Judgment, will
be, first, its declaration on the
money question, which will in
clude re affirmation of the
Chicago platform, a declaration
for independent bimetalism,
against the retirement of the
greenbacks, against interest
bearing bonds and against trans
ferring to the banks the right to
issue or control the issue of paper
money; second, a strong declara-
tion against trusts, and third,
anti.imperialism.

Soon the representatives of the Dem
ocratic party will he called in council
to prepare for the work of the most inn
portant campaign ever inaugurated
within the confines Of our State. For
nearly four years past, we have for the
nrst time in many years been forced to
endure the reign of a Republican State
administration. We realize that the
present condition of affairs has not ad
ded in anything to the welfare or pros
perity of the State To continue the
power, transferred in an hour of passion
by the Independent members of the
Democratic party II Maryland the Re-
publican managers have been forced
to tamper with a most serious question
and give privileges and emoluments to
. class Of citizens, which if continued
will bring about the most serious con-
sequences. These managers are in a
manner forced to pursue this course.
They must keep together this solid
phalanx of negro voters; they are prac-
tically helpless and in order to make a
showing these voters must be dealt
with in way dangerous to the peace
and good order of society. During
past Democratic administrations every
measure of justice was granted these
people, but they were held amenable
IN ha l.tt Il do 70,
Whilst the Democratic party is OPP
posed to selfish trusts, by which the
consumer is made to pay eXtravaganily
for the articles of daily consumption,
1t offers every protection to enterprises,
which aid and assist the people and
add to The prosperity If the city, the
State and the country. Great trusts
and heartless corporations have no
place in the management of political
affairs in either State or Nation. We
realized the danger to the liberties
OF the people when in the last Presi-
Dental contest, millions of dollars
wrung from trusts and selfish corpora
tons aided so materially in the cleo
ton of President Mckinley. The
Democratic party must seek to unite
its forces 1t must advocate the COR
sentative line of policy which will
guarantee the safety and prosperity Of
all interests. Capital must not be
driven away, nor labor oppressed. A
man who has the confidence of the
people must be selected. In the first
place, he must be loyal Democrat,
not an offensive partisan, not a crea-
ture of any ring or set of men, but a
man Of convictions, Democrat who
can command the confidence and re-
spect of the vast body of consistent
Democrats of the State. We would
urge no man who could be offensive to
the influential aud Independent voters
OF the State, but a man of ability, o
man Of business qualifications, a man
to grace the position to which he as
pired-but withall'a true Democrat.

Can Save Money by Abolishing a
New Office

If the farmers of the State will not
profit 10y the advice and information
given them by those in charge of the
Department OF Good Roads, recently
established by the Maryland Legisla-
ture, what is the use of continuing
such officials in office? The thing to
do is to abolish the office and thus save
money for the tax payers. In this
county it seems impossible to get any
of our farmers to give any time or at.
tention to the Improvement of the
public roads. All winter long they
will neglect hauling stone or break
stone or I'll mud holes or repair bad
places in our public roads. We confess
We are utterly surprised at this indif.
ference. Some contend that the coun-
ty should attend to such matters. No
public spirit can be reused, and 50
year after year our dirt roads and our
mud holes remain the same. Unless
some good has resulted in other coun-
ties by the creation of this new office,
it should be abolished aud thus the
mud holes will flourish to the delight
Of the general farmer.

IT would be well for the great body
of conservative voters of Maryland
to bear in mind that Baltimore City
has the largest negro population of
any city in the world. There are at
least one hundred thousand negroes
in Baltimore. No wonder Republican
managers cater to the twenty thou
sand voters of this class. No wonder
that the Republican managers are
looking for legislature to give them
Police Commissioners who will deal
kindly with this class of aw-breakers
Ask the Judges of the Courts of(pary-
land how this class stands as law
abiding citizens. This is serious
question for the people to consider.

MANY of the active Democrats of
Baltimore are arguing short but
active campaign. The Baltimore Sun
takes up their cause and likewise
urges short State campaign. We are
inclined to the belief that taking every
thing into consideration it would be
wise to defer our State campaign, thus
giving the people a rest from politics
