the RIGHT KIND OF TALK.

During the civil war there were
thousands Of patriotic Democrats
who stood nobly by President Lin
colin lin ais efforts to suppress the re-
'belliOn, though they had to antagon-
d re their arty leaders in doing SO.
The situation Is the same today.
There are men who can rise above
the mere consideration Of party and
lake a patriotic stand. Hon. Joseph
K. ToOle, the first governor of the
state OF Montana, Is one such. In
his able address at the laying Of the
cornerstone OF the state capitol on
July4 be used the folio wing language
i'm speaking Of the war in the Philip
pines:
"Our success In the Philippines,
where we have been Obliged to de-
fend our flag against a var Of the
insurgents, since the surrender Of
Spain, has not been as marked or
decisive az we would wish, but IL Ia
inevitable. Although differences OF
opinion may prevail in this country
about the policy Of our government
respecting these unhappy islands,
there Ia not a loyal heart in this
broad land that does not heat re-
sponsive to every honest effort on
the part of the commander-in-chief
of the army and navy TO bring this
war to a speedy and successful ter
mination. = Yielding nothing of
fixed opinion concerning the future
policy Of the federal government re-
specting the Philippines. but remem-
bering only that this war Is our war,
and that the soldiers and sailors
who are carrying our flag onward
and onward in the face of the enemy
are our soldiers and sailors. the one
thing needed now Ia an earnest,
unanimous, abiding resolution that
the army and navey shall have all
the encouragement and aid, mora
and material. which a patriotic peo-
pie can give and a plethoric purse
supply, and then, fellow citizens, rest
assured that the result will be as
grand as the American nation and
worthy of that republic which, since
it's birth, has made no peace but
under the banner of victory"
These are noble words compared
with the pessimistic utterances o

That he is very sick man all his
friends realize. He was tenderly lifted
from the coach and placed in an inval-

pital carriage in waiting. Then ne was
taken at once to the executive mansion.
On his way to the carriage the governor
raised his hat to several gentlemen at

They Garry the City by Nine Tbous-
and Majority.

One of the most exciting campaigns
in the history Of Baltimore resulted
Wednesday in Democratic landslide.
Thomas G. Hayes was elected mayor
by nearly 5000 majority over William
T. Master, Republican, the present in
cumbent, while his running mates,
Skip8itb Wilmer, for president Of the
second branch Of the city council, and
James Il. Smith, for comptroller, were
chosen by practically the same figures.
In addition to these candidates at large,
the DEMOCRATS elected all of their can
didates for the second bench of the
city council, and IS of q members Of
the first branch.
Wednesdays election is the first under
the charter for Baltimore city adopted
by the legislature last year. Under its
provisions the municipal election are
held in May 50 as to divorce as far SIS
possible municipal politics from states
and national issues. It also changes
the term Of the mayor from two to four
years, the terms of the comptroller and
president Of the second branch Of the
city council being for like period.
AL of the candidates elected Wednes-
day Will assume the Offices on the third
Wednesday in November Eext. There
are several theories being advanced hy
Republican leaders and others to &C.
count for the surprising result of We'd
nesday's contest, but the one most gen.
orally accepted is that those Republi-
cans who do not endorse Malster ad-
ministration, instead Of staying away
from the polls, voted the straight Demo
cratic ticket. The city was wild with ex-
citement Wednesday night, but the best
Of feeling prevailed.
