COMMENTING ON the result of Tuesdays cleo
ton in Mary land Senator McComas said E: I'VE
won because we were right. The Republicans
of the State were harmonious united and ag-
gressve. In the city and in the State all did
their best work in many years. Without the
aid of the Sound Money League and the Wage
earners we would have either marred or miss
ed our triumph The patriotic attitude and
efforts of Messrs. Cowen and Warfield and all
the leading business men of Baltimore aroused
the people of the city first, and then spread to
the State workingmen, who forgot prejudice
for patriotism and gave an impetus to victory
The campaign was clean, brilliant andsuccess-
full. Chairman Goldsborough worked with
tact, ability and sound judgment. He was
patient, facile and tireless in his work All OF
the associations of Republicans deserve thanks
and praise Ali will receive it. We won be-
cause we were right, and the country is safer,
better and happier for the election of Mckin-
lev and Roosevelt" The splendid service
rendered by Senator McComas in this great
battle will never be forgotten. He was I'M
firing in his efforts and Republicans honor
him for the clean and faithful work he did.
There is nothing too good for McComas today.
Mr.. JOHN M. NELSON, of Baltimore county,
who was active in the Sound Money move
ment in Baltimore, in an interview on We'd
nesday as to the meaning of Bryan's oeteat,
said 1.-The reelection of President Mckinley
means very much to the people OF the United
States. It means the final removal OF Mr..
BRYAN and all that he represents from national
politics. II means that free-silver coinage is
at last dead beyond resurrection, and the gold
standard is or will be, established above at
tack. 1t means that capitalists will now not
hesitate to invest their money in business ell
terprises and that the laborer is assured OF
steady employment at remuneratlve wages.
1t means that the many new enterprises now
under way or in contemplation will be carried
to successful conclusion, and that the securi-
ties issued and to be issued to finance these
enterprises will find market. In word,
the defeat of Bryan means the lifting OF load
from the minds of the people and encourages
the hope and belief that the future has in store
for our country and people only good things
and prosperous times" Mr.. Nelson, it is said,
supported Mr. Talbot for Congress.
COMMENTING ON the result of Tuesdays cleo
ton the New York World, one of the leading
Democratic newspapers of the country, said
'tWhen the 16-to-1 plank was separately re-
affirmed, upon the direct demand of Mr. Bryan
and with the complacent assistance OF Mr..
Croker, though against the clearly expressed
judgment of the delegates, the fate of the ticket
was sealed. That plank became milestone
around the candidates neck. 1t was impos-
sible to keep the money question ont OF the
campaign even though as an issue it was dead.
Mr.. Bryan's silence on 16to-1 in the East led
to attacks upon his sincerity, and was regarded
as an admission of the utter defenselessness OF
the plank he had insisted upon reiterating. II
the freesilver policy was party suicide in 1896,
it was provocation to punishment after
death in 1900"
