eoRMAN IN CONTROL.

The Maryland State democratic convention having
done just what he intended it should in the matter
Of candidates and platform German practically as
sumes sole responsibility of this years campaign and
enters his third great fight with serious handi
He controlled the special session OF the egisla-
ture last May that enacted the election law and
provided for State upon the returns of which
TO base reapportionment of the members of the legs
lature. Now the State convention has done his bid
ding, the great majority Of the democratic county
yentions have nominated his friends candidates for
the legislature he is steadily laying his lines to Sc
cure control of the general assembly with a view to
succeeding wellington United States senator.
Germans hold the democratic organization in
Maryland is remarkable He has maintained control
despite the assaults made by the richest shrewdest and
most untring of the State Not once even in the
darkest hour Of defeat has he lost prestige control
of the organization of his party His party associates
did not blame him for the defeat in 1896 which was the
forerunner of the defeat in 1897
The democratic party contrary to Germans coun-
sell did not give the relief it promised by giving the
people assessment law, As result Hurst,
the democratic nominee went down to defeat under
republican majority of $4,000
Two years later, when Germans reelection to the
senate the ISSUE the republican majority of $4,000
in 1895 was reduced to less than 1000 In 1899 when
German active, though not conspicuous, in the
campaign, the democrats regmned the State. Since
then German has been the real head the democratic
party in Mmyland as he was before his defeat
The greatest obstacle German win will be
his political enemies That he has more political
friends than any other democrat the State is con.
coded. But il he elect himself no other demo
crat can be elected, however hard German may work
for any other candidate Whether democrats who OPP
posed him in 1895 and in 1897 win again oppose him is
doubtful Certainly he will not be opposed as bitterly
as no four years ago.
Dissatisfied republican politicians who, years ago
used to look fayoraby upon German have again turned
to him as they woared and discontinued with Wei
lington and McComas.
