The success which has attended the
the use OF four-mast schooners in the
coastwise service fatty contradicts the
oft-repeated statement that steam craft
has made sailing craft Improbable
in the carrying trade. Those in the
coal and ice trade have had a satisfac-
tory season. especially in cases where
the captains are part or full owners
and naturally pushed for maximum
prohts. AS an example, one concern

There are some places on the East

tired Of the negro passes the bounds of

Even in hide-bound Democratic
newspapers the truth OF the situation
VIII slip out once in awhile. Here is a
sample from the Smyrna Call: Some
days ago we heard a man say that he
didn't like a certain person on his
ticket and would not vote for him. We
endeayored to persuade our friend
that he was wrong. We urged that
the party was the issue and the candi-
date only the agencx-of that issue.
That the only ground on which a party
candidate can be reasonably cut is
where there is good cause for belief
that he would not honestly administer
the proposed trust" And he failed to
convince the voter. This is but one OF
hundreds OF instances which are
worrying the Democratic managers.
The state and county tickets will be
cut right and left, for the Democratic
voters never were more dissatisfied
than at present when the old factional
leaders Of the party are engaged in such
a bitter struggle for supremacy.

Former Senator Arthur p. German,

with respect to the election in Mary
land. The first is that it will be a not
fight, and the second, that the Demo-
Gratis will win. There is no doubt that
the election will be contested warmly.
but the frenzied efforts of Mr.. German
and other Democratic leaders to stir
up the Democratic voters show that
they also feel that the Democracy of
the state, which obtained a new lease
OF life two years ago. is in a position
acknowledged by acts rather than
