FOR DENNY AND MCKINLEY
ATTITUDE. OF GOLD DEMOCRATS
IN FOURTH MARYLAND.
Indications That the state VIII Go
Republican Again-Wachter
Sure of Reelection.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Stsr.
BALTIMORE, Md, September 26-Repre-
sentative James W. Denny, gold democrat,
was today renominated for Congress in the
fourth district without opposition. This dis
trict, which contains the nine richest wards
OF Baltimore city, Is usually democratic
by good majority, and az Mr. Denny voted
with the republicans last winter on the
currency he will probably be reelected, al
though a large number of his party con-
stituents will vote for President Mckinley.
The gold democrats, however, will make
no fight against Mr.. Denny, notwithstand-
ing the fact that he Is supporting Mr.
Bryan. The republican candidate in the
district is Mr.. Charles r. Schirm, who was
a member of the house of delegates in 1898.
The democratic convention in the third dis
trict which comprises the first nine wards
of Baltimore, is in session today, and will
probably nominate Mr.. Robert F. Leach.
Jr, young lawyer who Is one of the
clerks of the city council. This district is
now represented by Mr.. Frank C. Wachter,
republican, who has been renominated and
who will probably be reelected. In fact
the impression that Mr.. Wachter will be
reelected Is strong that the demo-
Gratis are having great trouble In securing Q
candidate to make the fight against him.
The nomination was offered to Ex-Governor
William Pinkney Whyte and several other
prominent men in town, all Of whom de-
clined without hesitation and the honor has
gone begging.
The democratic leaders, including ex-
Senator German and others Of note, are
holding a conference at the Eutaw House
today to consider the situation. Chairman
Vandiver says they are entirely without
funds to pay even the necessary expenses
Of the campaign, and that the object Of the
conference Is to raise money. The men
who usually contribute the cash to the
democratic party treasury are all, with
perhaps. one or two exceptions, freely sup
porting President Mckinley. and the demo-
Gratis have been unable to raise even
enough to pay the expenses OF the regstra-
ton, which is now going on and which up
to the present time is very largely in favor
Of the republicans. In fact SO significant
are the registration figures In favor Of the
republicans that the advocates of Mckin-
ley are jubilant. while the democrats are
expressing their alarm in no uncertain way
and many of the out and out Bryanites are
openly accusing the leaders OF treachery
to the head of the ticket and of showing
q desire to let the state 60 to Mckinley by
default. In reply to these accusations, Mr..
Vandiver and the other officials at head
quarters say that they are doing all they
can without money, and IL the Bryanites
want anything more done they must raise
the necessary cash.
BY Associate ted Press.
BALTIMORE, Nd, September 26-The
democrats Of the third congressional dis
trict today nominated Robert F. Leach, jr.,
and those of the fourth district the
incumbent from the district. James w.
Denny. This completes the nominations in
this state.

young girl, unknown, was found IN

which no one present could under

Consequently some professors from
the oriental school were called in, and
they were all agreed that the girl did
not speak i correct la- IaGs. but a
dialect. The professor Of Persian held
that she spoke a Persian dialect and
that he understood It. Another pro-
