aid OF all the local leaders in the city, as
well as throughout the several counties.
The factional squabbles so evident In re-
publican ranks for several years past seem
to have disappeared, and the followers OF
ex-Mayor Malster and the other rival lead
ers are working side by side without rric-
ton and apparently without Jealousy. An
experience of twenty years has never wit
messed such harmony and unity of action
among the republicans in Maryland, and
with the aid of the gold democrats the re-
suit ought to be very gratifying to all
friends of honest money and the admins
tration. That the result will be decided
majority for President Mckinley is ad-
mitted by all whose opinion is entitled to
the slightest weight.
The bugaboo of Imperialism has failed to
raise even shiver, for the truth Is most
of the democrats here. even those Wno favor
Mr.. Bryan, are not averse to expansion, and
very little enthusiasm has been created by
that attempted scare. In fact on all the
new issues raised by the Kansas City plat
form the democrats are hopelessly divided
and their condition is decided contrast to
the condition of their opponents In every
important pacticular. Unity Is evident. on
one side, while there Is nothing but con-
fusion the other.
Another factor which is aiding the repub-
licans is the attitude Of many of the old
Rasin, or regular democrats, toward Mayor
Hayes and the city hall. The mayor is
one of the Bryan leaders. is a pronounced
free silver man, and his friends claim that
should Mr. Bryan win Mr. Hayes will nave
great weight with him in the appointment
of federal officials in this state. AS the
mayor is also bitterly hostile to both ex-
Senator German and Mr.. Rasin 1t can
easily be seen how such a prospect Woulu
please those two gentlemen, who are more in
terterested in depriving the mayor of power
he has at the present time than In doing
anything to increase his already great abil-
ity to do them harm. The truth IS that the
city democrats are more hopelessly divided
than ever, and so far are they from for
getting their differences at the present
time that they are really talking more
other than of winning votes for tne free
silver cause.
Unless a revolution takes place in pub
lie sentiment here in the next tour Weeks,
and unless all the present signs tail the
eight electoral votes of Maryland Will be
given to Mckinley. and that by large ana
sweeping majority. Public opinion mere Is
all one way on this subject.

In a letter to the Philadelphia Ledger,
published in that paper today, Wayne Mac
Veagh, who was Attorney General IN Presl-
dent Garfield's cabinet and ambassador to
Italy under President Cleveland's admins
tration, in giving his reasons for supporting
Mckinley, says in part:
For the war with Spain the politicians
Of both parties were equally responsible
but democrats, both in Congress and in the
press were even more shrill and insistent
in demanding war than republicans. while

was negotiated and ratified.
while the treaty was before the Senate
an amendment was proposed placing the
Philippines on the same footing as Cuba

Continuing, Mr. MacVeagh says he finds
himself in harmony with the republican
platform on the gold standard. But the

AN UNSEEN ENEMY,

Do you know that the British are
fighting an invisible army? DO you re-
alize that on one day we attack hill of
flame sending out death streams with
no more appearance of human agency
than there is behind the spray that falls
on your head from your shower bath?
And two days later we fight a crack
in the earth that vomits shot as If the
invisible devil and all his unseeable
imps were hurting molten metal at us.
We do not see any Beers when we are
fighting them.
II you told Tommy Atkins that there
are no Beers and that he is fighting a
vapor or an essence invented by Edi-
son, he would have as much reason to
believe you as he does to believe that he
is fighting men. II saw two" I heard
a colonel say, land killed one Of

his millions of balls and explosive bull

Then business goes on again.
When breathing time comes he enjoys
having the lawyers flock about him. In
one Maine county the Judge who had
preceded the Chief at the earlier term
was offended at what he deemed the
familiarity of the lawyers and uncon-
ventionalty of the court attendants. He
rebuked the latter sharply for their du-
ties and minated to the lawyers that
his retiring room was sacred ground,
and that it would be etiquette to knock
at the door and solicit permission to
enter
The pronunciamento was rather chill
ing, and the good folk of Blank county
received new light on the environment
and prerogatives of Judges.
Then at the next term the Chief JUS
tice came along. The lesson that the
other Judge had given was sufficiently
stiff to still impress the lawyers and at

an associate Judge required thus and so,

must remand yet greater degrees Of def
