Maryland Political Notes.

Ex-Judge William II. Downs, OF the Or
home Is in Gienburnie, who opposed the cleo
ton Of Bryan in 1896, says positively that he
will not vote for Mckinley this fall. He Is
opposed 10 the Administration policy in the
Philippines and will work and vote for BRIAN.
Judge Downs has six sons, five of whom are
Gold Democrats. and did not vote for Bryan
in 1896, but will do so now. Judge Downs
himself has always been staunch Republican
until the present time
Mr.. William WeIlham, one of the largest
truck farmers in The neighborhood Of Glen
burnie, who opposed Bryan four years ago.
has announced that be will vote for him at the
next election.
Louis p. Hennighausen, of Baltimore,
German American citizen, we'll known lawyer
and a Republican. is opposed TO the MeKin
ley policy OF imperialism, the doctrine of ty-
rants and despo;s.
Hon. A. p. German is home after rest of
six weeks, and will take an active interest in
the campaign. giving advice to the national,
congressional and state committees, and will
make some speeches
The Democratic campaign In Baltimore is
assuming activity. A number of meetings
have been held, one of which was addressed
in an able speech by Mayor Hayes. Three
Republicans spoke at Democratic meeting
on Wednesday night.
The Democrats of the fifth district have
nominated B. Harris Camalier, of ST. Mary's

Wellington for Bryan.

The largest political gathering ever known
in Western Maryland was Democratic meet
ing at Cumberland on Tuesday night. The
reason of the immense gathering was the
nouncement that the Democratic nominee for
President was to speak, and also that United
States Senator George l.. Wellington would
address the assembly. The meeting was held
in the Academy of Music, but the overflow
meeting was equally as large. Senator We'll
liDgton announced his intention TO support
Mr.. Bryan, because he was opposed TO the
policy Of Imperialism of Mr.. Mckinley, and
showed from his record that he was consistent
in this. He was not leaving his party upon
important domestic questions Of money and
tariff, but he could not support Mckinley and
his foreign policy. He also reiterated how the
President had failed to keep his promise to
him as TO Filipino independence, and said he
was unlike Senator Hoar, Of Massachusetts,
who talked one way and acted another.
Mr.. Bryan spoke briefly, and mostly enlo-
CYSTIC Of the moral courage of Senator We'll
lington, who placed country above party and
came out openly according to the dictates of
duty as did the Gold Democrats in 1896.

What is Imperialism?

Imperialism means the governing and con-
trolling Of 3 people without their consent BY
another government.
It means denial Of the doctrine that all
men are created free and equal.
II means denial Of the doctrine that all
lust governments derive 1leir powers from the
consent Of the governed.
1t means giving people such government as
the governing power may determine, regard
less Of what the people may desire
Imperialism and Miliiarisn go hand in hand.
To govern people without their consent ne
cessitates maintaining 3 large army to enforce
the government. They mean harsh measures.
cruelty and oppression.
Ia Republic the people rule. They are
supreme In the United States-the model
Neutrality-suspicious. are frequent. and the
opportunity Is given them OF either endorsing
or changing Administrations al will. Govern
Inent rests upon the consent of The majority,
and no large standing army is needed. A
Republic presumes the sovereignty of the
people, hence a Republic can never hold
subjects, can never hold colonies. A repub
lcan form of government Is jus; the opposite
Of an imperial form Of goyernment-
Al the polls in November the people will
be called upon to decide whether they will
have a republican or an imperial form of gov
meni.
The HAMA Mckinley Administration Is
fast approaching Imperialism. In denial and
in violation of every principle upon which
the republic IS founded they are engaged
in an endeavor TO force a government upon
an unwilling people; they have set up gov
eminent in Puerto Rico, and denied the in
habitants rights of trade to which they are
entitled; they have carried the flag to foreign
peoples, and denied them the blessings Of the
Constitution; they have acted without the au-
tbority Of Congress and in defiance Of the
Constitution. An Administration that exer-
cises imperial powers abroad will not hesitate
TO exercise them at home when it 50 chooses.
