PLEASED WITH GUAM.
General Wheeler Paid Lond Visit TO Our
New Island in the Pacific.

General Wheeler Paid I.ond Visit to Our
New Island in the Pacific.
San FRANCISCO, March 9.-General
Joseph Wheeler and party, who have
been in quarantine since their arrival
from the Philippines on the transport
Warren last Monday, have been per-
mitted to land. When seen by an As.
sociated Press reporter General Wheeler
said that his health was excellent and
that his trip to the Philippines had, if
anything, benefited him physically
He said
II had very interesting visit to
Guam. 1t is beautiful island. l rode
over great deal Of it, traversing its
length and crossing it three times. I
visiteu all its towns and was much
pleased with the people. Their hospi-
tality and apparent desire to express
good feeling toward Americans was
very gratifying"
Speaking of his resignation from the
army, General Wheeler said he resigned
Nov. 20, but was not ordered home un.
til the middle of January. He did not
care to discuss his reasons for leaving
the army. After a brief stay in this
city General Wheeler will go to Wash
ington to take his seat in congress.
Philippine War About Over.
As to the situation in the Philippines
and Guam he said:
"All is very satisfactory in both
places. The war is over except for the
work Of the guerrilla bands that am.
bush our troops and do little damage
Just before left heard Of case in
which an American soldier was killed
| and several wounded. This condition
of things will not last long, think
II was much pleased with the Fill
pino people. They are intelligent, cour.
teous and kind. They are not disposed
to revolution and violence, but the false
representations made to them regarding
Americans very naturally aroused them
and led them to believe that resistance
to our rule was the only possible escape
from impending evil.
| II found that when they learned the
real character and the purposes o.
Americans they seemed well reconcilet
| to our government and firmly believ,
that after the establishment Of a goot
and wise civil administration Of affair
an era Of great prosperity will bless tn
people of the archipelago"

A CORRESPONDENT of the Baltimore Sun at
Chestertown, Kent county, says that the whole
sale buying of votes in that county is lone of
the most perplexing problems pressing upon
both political leaders and the better element
of the citizens of Kent county" The cores
pondent says the registered vote of that county
is 3,065 and that 700 of this number "are
purchasable, and are purchased, with con-
slant tendency toward the spreading of the
demoralzing system" The purchasable ele-
ment is composed of both whites and blacks
and both parties engage in the traffic. A
prominent Democrat, talking with the Suns
correspondent on the subject said "If this
thing keeps on few years more nearly every
man in the county will have his price. The
law is ample for the suppression of this start
ling evil, but both sides are equally guilty, and
SO long as that is the case there is no hope of
an abatement. Let the Democrats go into the
next campaign with a pledge not to out
rage the manhood of any voter and with de-
termination to prosecute every vote-buyer and
seller in the county leach seller in the county
is known to the buyers of both parties) and
every man could be caught. One campaign
would stop this wholesale traffic in American
citizenship. OF course the other party would,
with its unbroken army of sellers, win in
that particular election, but it would be VIC
tory so dearly purchased that repetition
would not be desirable"

THERE is some talk among certain Demo-
Gratis in this State about calling an extra ses-
sion of the Legislature to pass law disfran-
chising colored voters. When questioned on
the subject Governor Smith said on Monday
II have received number of communications
in regard to such step, but have not given
the ma tier any consideration" The Governor
thus expressed himself in the presence of Mr..
Murray Vandiver, chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, who said: II have
received communications from nearly every
county in the State strongly advising that
special session of the Legislature be called with
a view to amending the election law. do not
know but what it would be a good thing.
However, the matter should require close look
ing into before any steps are taken in that d.
rection. To my mind there is no doubt that
such bill would pass the House of Delegates,
but do not know what its fate would be in
the Senate, as the Democratic margin is very
close there. 1t is a matter, however that
would bear discussion and thepres is the best
medium by which the sentiment of the people
could be obtained" We have heard of moth
ing of this kind discussed here. Doubtless
this is only some of Mr.. Vandiver's "funny
business

BRYAN WILL NOT RETIRE.
Determined to be Considered in Any Re-
organization Plan.
Letter frorn Lincoln. Meb.

Letter from Lincoln, Neb.
Mr.. Bryan has his mind made up and any
plan of reorganization of the Democratic
party that does not include him is certain to
face his tremendous energies in opposition.
He says that he will remain in Lincoln and
devote bis time to magazine and special writ
ing and to lecturing. He said he had not the
least idea of retiring from politics, and that
whether as leader or private he proposed to
continue his labors in behalf Of Democracy.
1t has been gossip among Mr.. Bryan's asso-
ciates that he intended to start on the third
battle soon after the election in case be failed
to secure the Presidency. 1t was said that he
had expressed the opinion that he could not
take a Senatorship during the coming four
years because he would "bea very busy man.
This program for a third race for the nomina-
ton has not apparently been changed by the
adverse majority and the virtual decision of
the Eastern Democrats to get control OF the
party machinery. There is no doubt that the
size of the vote for President Mckinley has
been a stunning blow for Mr.. Bryan and his
friends. They thought that he might DC oe'
feated, but figured confidently on larger vote'
both popular and electoral, than he received IN
1896. That would leave him in good condi-
ton, they thought, for new fight and GER
tain victory in 1901.
Mr.. Bryan's county gives an adverse ma
jority this year of 1,7Ss, the vote being 1863
for Mckinley and 1857 for Bryan. Fouryears
ago McKinley's majority in this county was
$3.50. This seeming reputation of Mr.. Bryan
is not personal in its character. Here the
general feeling toward him is almost invaria-
blv considerates so far as IL tonehes him Ter
sonally. When it comes to politics, that is
another story. The city, county and State
voted against him, not on account of, but in
spite of, his personality. The verdict is against
him because the people think him wrong on
the principal issues, and because they are con-
WINGED that in spite of all the attractive traits
of his character, he gets carried away in the
heat of public speaking and becomes dema-
gogue. They like him personally, but they
are afraid to trust him in the management of
their governmental affairs. 1t is like the re-
lations of a good many business men with
men that they meet socially. The men they
enjoy playing billiards with at the club may
not be the ones they would want to put in
! charge of their business affairs.

afford reason to believe that the free silver

quantity.
THE FRIENDS of Congressman. elect Blskeney
gave him big send-off at his home, franklin
vile, Baltimore county, on Monday night last,
in honor of his success on the 9Th instant.
They gathered in large numbers from Balti-
more city and Baltimore and Hartford counties,
and with bands of music, fireworks and other
demonstrations made the welkin ring with
their glad plaudits. After parade over the
neighboring roads the throng assembled at
Franklinville, where congratulatory speeches
and general good cheer wound up an event
that will long be remembered by the people
of that prosperous manufacturing village,
which was revived and built up through the
indomitable energy and business tact of the
man whom the people had assembled to honor,
and whose success was achieved in the face of
many adverse circumstances. Mr.. Blakeney
highly appreciates the kindness of his friends
and as member of the House of Representa-
tiyes he will not forget the debt of gratitude
he owes to those who gave him faithful sup
port and for whose interests he will earnestly
exert his best efforts while serving them in
Congress.
