GoRMAN GETS HIS REVENGE.
ouats III. Enemy. j. X. cowcn, From Con,
troll of baltimore, md Ohio.

Parkersburg, w. Va, Aug. S-A
couple of interesting stories have
leaked out purporting to give inside
information as To how the Fennsylva-
MIA railroad managed to secure control
OF the Baltimore and Ohio and of how
the Baltimore and Ohio managed to Sc
cure control of the Ohio River railroad.
They show the power of one man when
prompted by Il spirit of determination
and revenge.
John Is. Cowen, one of The leaders of
the Maryland democracy, in 1896 be-
came Il leader In the movement which
turned Maryland into the republican
ranks and Arthur 2. German was de-
feated for reelection to the United
states senate. Ill u large measure he
blamed his defeat upon Mr.. Cowen.
who was president of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, and only awaited
the opportunity to even up old scores.
Recently the opportunity was afforded.
The Pennsylvania wanted to secure
control of the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road but was unable to secure a suf-
tlcient amount of stock to accomplish
this. Senator German saw an oppor-
tunity to avenge himself upon Presi-
dent Cowen and at the same time win
the influence and support of the power
full PENNSYLVANIA system. Quietly he
went to work and secured control of
enough of the Baltimore and Ohio stock
to place the Pennsylvania in the saddle
if he voted his stock With theirs. Then.
he went to the Pennsylvania people,
and an understanding was soon
reached by which the stock which he
controlled should be voted as Pennsyl-
vania stock for a certain length of
time. The result is known. President
Cowen was succeeded by President
Loree and the Baltimore and Ohio be-
came u part of the Pennsylvania sys.

Baltimore Aug. S.--The issues in the
campaign which will determine whether
or not Arthur Pue German will again
occupy scat in the United States SEN
ate and become a factor in national
politics Were fully made up today by
the action of the republicans at their
state conventions Like the democrats.
they paid more attention to the adop-
tioa of the platform than to the selec-
ton of candidates for minor offices,
controller and clerk of the court of APP
pea!s.
The platform was the work of sena-
tor McComas and Phillip Lee Colds
borough, chairman of the state central
committee who is regarded as a prom
ising candidate for the seat of Senator
Wellington in the event the repubi-
cans succeed. Unlike the democratic
declaration of principles adopted last
week much stress is laid upon national
issues. The administration of PreSi-
dent Mckinley is heartily Endorsed and
the policies of the republican party on
the tariff, currency and other vital
question of national moment vigorous
~ commanded. while that of the demo-
Gratis of tie state is quite as vigorous
ly denounced Governor Smith comes
in for II fun measure of condemnation
for having called the special session of
the legislature which was held this
spring, While the party Which placed
him in office is soundly berated for hay
ing passed new election laws
Herman S. Plutt for controller and
Thomas Parran. for clerk OF the court
of appeals, We're nominated by accla-
nation.
While the democrats are criticised for
attempting TO disfranchise illiterate
voters the democratic slogan of negro
domination, is not challenged. it being
the purpose of the republican leaders
to eliminate this question from the
campaign to as great extent as pos.
