AT THE END OF HIS TETHER.

Mr.. Bryan is approaching the verge of des-
peration, facing impending defeat and the de-
struction anew of his hopes of gaining the
Presidency. Never has campaign, begun in
such high-pitched key of enthusiasm for
pretended and pretentious issue, so soon and
completely petered out. The carefully planned
scheme to put the real issue of honest money
out of sight and to substitute nebulous de-
nunciation of an assumed inclination of the
administration towards imperialism" met
no popular response.
The American people are too practical to be
deceived by such shadowy device. Ahealthy
territorial expansion began almost with the
formation of the Government and fictitious
and aggravated sympathy for the Filipinos
in arms against Government seeking only
their good, and not their oppression, failed to
attract our people, Mr.. Bryan soon fonnd his
error.
Then was substituted denunciation Of trusts.
There are evils in these business aggregations,
but the question is an economic one, and with
such problems the Democrats have shown no
capacity to DEAL With the New York Ice
Trust in evidence, the chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee a millionaire
through his interests in tile Round Cotton Bale
Trust the public was not confused by as
saults on trusts for which the Republicans
were in no way responsible, and which they
alone had taken any steps to control. This
did not touch the popular pulse.
"Militarism'' was laughed out Of court. The
cry that an army of 100000 men, strung out
over two continents, would overcome 75,0o0,-
600 people, was too silly to be seriously con-
sidered.
Iuen Mr.. Dryan fost mis- ternpef ana with ~
his head. His speeches now consist of infiam-
matory suggestions of class antagonisms, an
ticipations of welcome business disaster and
labor troubles, and the most astonishing dec
laration that the object of the Republicans in
desiring large standing army was "that they
can build fort near every large city and use
the army to suppress by force the discomfort
that ought to be cured by remedial legislationl"
To this assertion he adds this despairing cry:
IF the election were held to- day there is no
doubt that we would have majority in the
Electoral College and the popular vote. But
the Republican managers are now collecting
from the monopolies large campaign fund.-
They will buy every vote that can be bought.
They will coerce every vote that can be coerced.
They will intimidate every laboring man who
can be inundated. They will bride every cleo
ton judge that can be bribed. They will cor
rupt every county that can be corrupted"
This kind of talk makes it evident that Mr..
Bryan has no hopes of the people electing him
to the high and dignifed office of the Presi-
dency Our people are not fools, and they do
not swallow such foolish and insincere talk.

THEY ARE FOR MCKINLEY.

Nearly six hundred Communication voters
in Baltimore city-among them many leading
professional and business men-have signed
statement in which they set forth in concise
form their reasons for advocating the election
of Mckinley and Roosevelt. The document
is sound and substantial one, and roundly
scores Mr.. Bryan and his policy. In part, it
says:
1--WE believe in an honest dollar. Free coin
aye of silver means commercial disaster, mis-
cry and distress for workingmen. tradesmen
and all citizens and private and national dis.
honor. 1t should be so decisiyely repudiated
by the American people that no one hereafter
will be bold enough to make ii an issue in our
politics. ;,
ut is the vital issue of this campaign. II
was forced into the Democratic platform by
Mr.. Bryan himself. If elected, he will use all
the vast powers at his command as Chief Elk
exutive of the Nation to Immediately place the
country on silver basis. He will be Jealous
ly assisted by a House of Representatives
elected with him and representing his view
How long a small majority in the Senate
would hold out for sound money is an open
question. The fear, distrust, and uncertainty
inevitably resulting from such situation
would be almost as disastrous to the bushes:

1--WE do not see anything real in the issue o
imperialism. The possession of the Philippine
Islands has come to us as an unavoidable re
suit of the war with Spain; war decided or

by treaty, the adoption of which was urged
by Mr.. Bryan himself

responsibilities " lfivls have dovolved upon tn

ton for President Mckinley"
The signers of the statement also declar
their unbelief in the threatened danger OF mil
itary despotism.

Hon. JAMES A. GARY, of Baltimore county
was in New York early this week. In news
paper interview on Maryland politics he said:
II see no reason to take one single vote from
the 10000 which predicted SOME weeks ago:
Some people thinl~thnt RAs,an's forthcoming
visit to our State may change or reduce the
figures, but with continued activity in the
same vigorous way in which the campaign is
now being pushed, do not apprehend that
his visit will change a single vote. On the
contrary, the demagoguery of this man, when
brought home to our people, will be more apt
to increase than to decrease the Republican
majority. With the Democrats in control of
the machinery in the State and city of Balti-
more it, of course hehooves us to keep work
ing until election day. We are going to do it
and we are going to win. We are in hopes of
getting a full delegation of Congressman, but
are practically sure of five"

In HIS charge to the Anne Arundel grand
jury last Monday Judge Revel again got after
the gamblers in that county. He said: "Do
not abate your energies in making diligent in
quiry into all offenses especially the viola
tions of the Sunday law at Brooklyn and the
divers resorts along the river front. The four
police officers at Brooklyn have been singular
ly oblivious of their duties and the infractions
of law in their districts. Thousand of people
violating the law, and not one arrest for gamb-
ling They can enter and ought to enter, even
by force and with the posse comitatus, any
place where they suspect there is gambling"
The Judge also notified the jury not to adjourn
when their work was completed and said be
would discharge them temporarily. He evil
IDENTIFY means business and it looks like there
are warm times ahead for the gamblers and
Sunday law violators over there.

In ITS news columns the Baltimore Sun of
the 18th instant published the following dis
patch from Washington: cardinal Gibbons
as chairman. Archbishop Ryan, of Philadel-
phia; DR.. E. R. Dyer, of New York, who is
secretary to the board, met at the Catholic
University this morning as the Board of Indian
and Negro Missions of the Roman Catholic
Church. Archbishop Kahn, of st. Louis, was
the only absentee. The only business done
was the apportionment of the $4,000 allowed
for the mission work among the people indi-
Gated" Isn't this another "nigger outrage?"
For the Cardinal to preside at meeting that
appropriated S62 900 to educate ringers" and
just at the height of Presidential campaign,
too, must have been very severe jolt to
the nerves of the San.

NoTIcING EDIToRIALLY the fact that apostate
Wellington would speak at the Democratic
mass-meeting at Music Hall, on Friday night,
10th inst, the Baltimore american said Hay
ing made complete and ignominious failure
of his Bryan campaign in the West, Yelling
ton returned to his own State discredited and
unhonered. Most men would have been con-
tent to remain silent after such an experience
but not so Wellington. His first public utter
ance after his return was prediction that
Bryan would sweep the country and that
Maryland would be included in the sweep.
Wellington has predicted Democratic victories
before-n fact, that has always been his plan
when Maryland Republicans refused to allow
him to play the boss. Now, repudiated by the
party to which he once belonged, persona
non grata with the National Democratic Com
mittee Wellington cannot expect to deceive
the Maryland voters or to hide from-them the
real causes of his villainous attacks on the
present administration.

Bryan Rides With The Big Boss.
Baltimore Nems.

Mr.. Bryan rode down Fifth avenue in New
York yesterday afternoon in an open barouche
with Richard Croker on the same seat with
him, attired in Prince Albert coat and a high
silk hat, and with the inevitable cigar be-
tween his teeth. Bryan wore frock coat and
a soft felt hat, and was in striking contrast to
the Tammany leader in the matter of apparel.
In advance of the carriage rode platoon OF
Tammany policemen, and the pavements were
lined with people who had gathered to catch a
glimpse of the Presidential candidate. 1t was
undoubtedly striking picture and strong OBJ
iect- lesson, and, if the truth were known, there
is no doubt that Mr.. Bryan felt anything but
comfortable in the company be was compelled
to keep in that carriage. 1t was undoubtedly
a moment of supreme triumph for Croker.
He had the candidate in tow, and he it was,
with his legs crossed and cigar in his mouth,
who was supposed to represent the power upon
which Bryan depends to carry the electoral
vote of New York.

Hon. WILLIAM L. WILSON. distinguished
citizen and president of Washington and Lee

at his home in Lexington, Va, on Wednesday,
aged 81 years. He several times represented
his district in Congress. Among the promi-
nent positions held by him was that of Post
master General in President Cleveland's Cabi-

and Means Committee of the House when the
tariff bill of 1898 was passed, hence it obtained
the name of the Wilson bill'

THAT MUST have been soul-stirring sight to
have seen William Jennings Bryan and Rich
ard Croker riding down Broadway, N. Y, last
Tuesday afternoon, occupying the same car
rage seat. 1t is not much to the credit of can
didate for the great Office of President of the
United States to be so closely associated with
the most notorious political boss in the coun-
try. But it was Cookers meeting and Cookers
dinner at $40 plate, and naturally he wanted
all the glory he could get out of it.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT will speak at Music
Hall, Baltimore on Saturday night, October
Goth, and will be greeted by thousands of citi-
zens who honor and admire the man for his
true worth. He is Governor of the great En-
pire State of New York, an Office that is re-
garded as second only in importance to that of
President of the United States. Although the
Baltimore Sun has for weeks been holding
this man up to public ridicule, slurring and
misrepresenting him in every possible way,
he is an American of Americans-a man with
a clean and bright record that at once chal-
lenges the respect and confidence of the people
The reputation of Gov. Roosevelt is too well
established to be injured by the constant slurs
of a carping newspaper from which the people
had right to expect better things. But des-
pite this unjust treatment Maryland will cast
majority of her votes for Theodore Roosevelt
for Vice President of the United States on the
9Th of November and thus show that they ap-
preciate him as man, statesman and
soldier. Go to hear him at Music Hall on
Saturday night. You will not regret it.
