In some Of his recent speeches Air.
Bryan has spoken In terms Of derosa.
tlon of our army officers. asserting OF
inslnuating that many OF them have
obtained preferment by unworthy
means and that appointments IN the
army are due largely to personal innu-
euce. He also stigmatized The Army
and Navy Journal as one OF the fore
most champions Of imperialism ana
mllItarism, and In recent number OF
that journal the editor, Colonel VIII
liam G. Church, rcfutes these asser-
tons in a most convincing manner.
After m able review of the constitu-
tional arguments Involved in the phil
ipplne question, which need not be fol-
lowed in detail now that the Demo-
Gratis have dropped the imperialistic is-
sue, Colonel Church proceeded to en-
tighten aIr. Bryan as to the real facts
in regard TO the army. He remarks:
at is subject to demonstration that
influence, political or financial, Is too
Insignificant factor in the choice OF
army officers to be considered. II can
at the most affect an average OF only
some ten officers In each year who are

who represents the Fifth district Of
Maryland. His opponent, Mr.. Came
lter, according to Marylanders. Il most
always and generally running for some
ONCE, but the thing that has trpdbied
Camelier 10 that he has never been
elected to anything. Mr.. Mudd was
seated in contest for the seat before
the Fifty6rst congress with the late
Barnes Compton. He subsequently re-
turned to the house In the Fifty fifth
congress and was reelected to the
present congress- by a plurality Of over
5000. He is energetic and popular.
There would seem to be mo- doubt
whatever of his reelection by 4 large
majority.
Senator Wellington's fop has caused
Immense activity to prevail among the
Republicans of western Maryland.
Every man in one way or another is
trying to prove his party loyalty. From
the present indications Senator We'll
lington is practically alone in his fop.
Four large Republican clubs are in
process OF forma tton In Cumberland.
One will be In Wellington's old ward
and will be composed largely Of Ger
mans. The organizers say that not
one German Republican has been
found in the ward who sympathizes
with wellington. In all parts Of the
state big Republican clubs have been
formed, and the enthusiasm is uni.

ed solid for Mckinley. Ex-Governor
Lowndes is confident that Maryland

Bryan's Ar1umen3S Miadled.
Mr.. Bryan. at st. Louis, laid down
seven general propositions as the basis
of his argument, not one OF which will
hold water. He asked if young men
were safe when foreign or domestic
fnanciers are allowed to determine
our monetary system. But who should
determine our monetary system II not
fnanciers? That Is the financiers
buslness-the thing that he best knows
how to do. Who else should determine
1t? Should 1t be intrusted to men
ignorant OF finance? He asked Il
it was safe for national banks to con.
troll the money of the country. Does
he prefer to go back to the old wild.
cat" state banks? He says that the
.bondholdng class" determines the
size of the national debt. It does moth.
ing Of the sort. The national debt Is
determined by congress-, which con
sists of direct representatives OF the
people. He also complains of the taxes.
The taxes are also due to the action OF
the peoples representatives, In con
gress and the local municipal bodies
and not to the trusts. He grew moro
demagoglcal as he proceeded and
charged that the senators were elected
by corporate influence that govern
ment by Injunction was to be opposed
and that laboring men were denied the
privilege Of arbitration, all of which
propositions are either untrue or indie
