DID NOT MENTION BRYAN.
Resolutions Adopted by the Frederick
County Democrats.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
FREDERICK Md June & 1900

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
FREDERICK, Md, June 3, 1900.
The democratic county convention called
for the purpose of electing delegates to the
state convention. which is to be held in
Baltimore on Tuesday. and to the congress
sional convention. which meets in Rock
vile in September, was called to order at
noon yesterday in the City Opera House by
Jacob M. Newman, chairman of the county
central committee. State Senator Rohr-
back was made chairman of the conven-
ton. The silver element of the party made
a strong fight to have the delegation to the
state convention instructed for Bryan, but
were defeated after bitter fight and some
ugly language had been used.
DIR. ]. E. Beatty of N1iddletown led the
silver forces and made a vigorous speech
in favor of instructing the delegation. Col.
l.. Victor Baughman led the conservative
clement and made brilliant speech, call
ing on all democrats to support the nomt-
nee of the Kansas City convention. The
name of Bryan was greeted with tumultu-
Gus cheering, and if the silver men had
had a leader of force the convention would
have been Stampeded.
Some bitterness is expressed because the
resolutions adopted do not contain Bryans
name. The resolutions condemn the Mckin-
ley administration and declare against
trusts and monopolieS. The convention de-
cided to send tWenty-nine delegates, one
from each district in the county, to each of
the conventions. Col. L. Victor Baughman,
whose name has been mentioned as the
democratic nominee for Congress from the
cept the nomination under any consdera-

mass there was heEediction of the blessed
sacrament, during which the Tc Deum was
sung in Thanksgiving for all the blessings
of the year. The music of the mass was
of high order, the choir being under the
direction of Rev. Z. Placidus Feurst, O.S. B.
The sermon on the occasion was preached
by Rev. William ]. Kerby, Ph.D., of Sioux
City, Iowa, president Alumni Association.
The subject was The Academic Spirit
All social groups are characterized by a
grouping spirit, he said, which is produced
by the factors which give life and direc-
ton to the group. Since universities are
social groups. they should possess a char
acteristic spirit.
The speaker then traced the relation of
this spirit to the spiritual life of the scholar,
and showed the important services which
may be rendered by the genuine academic
spirit to the work of personal sanctification.
Concluding, the speaker called attention to
the unique character of this university as
Catholic, and showed that solid. consistent
C&tholcty must be an clement in the spirit
fostered here.
The comforting of degrees by his emil
nence, Cardinal Gibbons. the chancellor of

CHURCH WORK IN GUAM.
Result of Letter Recently Written by
Gen. Wheeler.

General Joseph Wheeler in a recently
published communication to the secretary
of the work for poor churches in this city,
suggested that the greatest need of the six
Catholic churches in Guam, of the
new Pacific island possessions of the United
States, was the stations of the cross.
In response to this request the So
ciety at once sent three sets, and is now
able, by the donations received for this
object, to furnish all the churches. AS an
evidence of the widespread interest taken
in General Wheeler's letter the following
has just been received from Mrs. Bellamy
Storer. wife of the United States minister
at Madrid. Mrs. Storer writes:
Il am delighted to see that American
Catholics are becoming interested in the
MES, and that you are receiving contribu-
tons for the poor churches of Guam, aided
by our generous and gallant soldier Cen
eral Joseph Wheeler. Our American Cath
Ole civilization should go out to find these
people and to raise them up from ignorance
and degradation into industry and enight-
eminent. A distinguished non-Catholic
statesman of the United States has written
to me that he is very strongly of the opin-
ion that the uplifting of the people in these
tropical islands must come chiefly through
making them better Catholics and better
citizens Another non-Catholic gentleman,
high in authority in our new colonies. has
written to me: This is a purely Catholic
country. The purpose Of all good Catholics
should be to elevate the people. l
am Protestant, but have realized that our
purpose should be to benefit the people and
not in any way to interfere with their be-
liefs or purposes. If there is any way in
which We can bring to bear upon them the
influence of the best people in their church
1t should be done
II send you a check for 800 for the sta
lions of the cross. and l earnestly urge that
you and all American Catholics will fur
Their in every possible way the progress OF
justice and civilization among
Catholic populations If it might help the
cause you may publish this letter. for 1t IS
the cause not only of the Catholic Church.
but of the government in the civilized
world today which upholds the religious
rights of every citizen and of every one
who is even temporarily dependent upon its
protection"
