Group Of Promising Copper Claims

mel aud a Large vein in the
Claim Now Being Worked.

a Claim Now Being Worked.
From Foster Kearnes, who was
down from Collins last week, We learn
That a great deal of work has been
hone on the Kearnes Consolidated
Mines Company's property a group
Iof claims which are situated about
-four miles south of Collins, on Little
i Beaver.
Until last fall Mr.. Keans prosecut-
ed the development of these mines
alone. At that period the Downing
Investment company offered to put
up capital for the development of the
mines for an interest in them. This
offer was accepted and since the LIST
of last November two shifts Of men
have been at work in the tunnel.
Work was commenced on one of
the most promising of these proper
ties which showed a lead IL feet wide
at the surface, two years ago, and q
shaft 20 feet in depth was sunk on it.
An assay from the bottom of the shaft
gave values in gold, copper and sill
yer to the amount of So. Mr.. Kearnes
was SO well pleased with this that he
went down to the foot of the hill and
started to run a tunnel, which is 10
in about 1856 feet, 1t is expected that
within the next two weeks they will
strike the vein and when they do, it
will he at a depth of rs feet from the
surface, a point that will reveal the
true value of the lead.
Mr.. Kearnes was much surprised
at the growth of Saratoga in the last
six months and said that he never saw
a town make such advance in that
length of time.

Supreme Court Decisions.

The Supreme Court of the United States,
by majority vote, has decided that the
Philippine Islands are part of the United
States, and that the collection of duties on
goods imported from those islands is illegal.
Byanother decision it is determined that The
Congress has power to impose duties on i'm
ports from one part of the United States to
another. IF this latter decision is sound un-
der the Constitution, then The Congress would
have power TO tax goods going from one State
to another. This decision is contrary to the
teachings and policy of the Democratic party
for "a century, and any such legislation will be
strongly opposed by the party in Congress.
1t was never contemplated by the trainers of
the Constitution and the fathers of the repub
lie that the United States should hold subject
peoples, to NEEDLE with the affairs of other
peoples, or to conquer other lands, but the
Republican party has neither respect for the
Constitution nor veneration for the fathers Of

An Unwarranted Assumption.

No unbiased Democrat can be unaware that the
whole Democratic campaign of 1901, In Maryland,
was a systematic scheme, concocted Dy Democratic
consprators for the purpose OF CARRYING the StaLe
by such methods might be necessary to that END,
regardless of their mortality; that some OF these
methods will not bear the test of judicial 1nyest1ga-
ton, and that, II such an investigation shall be
honestly and fairly made, the extreme probability
is that it will demonstrate that the Democratic
iority in the House of Delegates was fraudulently
obtained and that Mr.. Patt, for Comptroller of the
Treasury, and Judge Charles T. Reifsnider for As.
sociate Judge of the Fifth judicial circuit received
actual majorities at the polls.
The above is al extract from an editorial
in the Sentinel of November 80. 1t is pred
icated upon the assumption that the Demo-
Gratis used any and all means, fair and other
wise, to carry the late election, and that the
Republicans neither lied, purchased votes,
traded votes or did anything that was neither
fair nor honorable. If worse lot of schem-
ers and tricksters can be found than Colds
borough, McComas. Mudd and the slick
election fraud artists in Baltimore City, we
would like somebody to name them. In ad-
dition, every county has its slick artists as
Republican leaders, aud the Republican man.
ayers and workers in Carroll are not all an
gels. And the Sentinel well knows it. Its
editor has had some experience in dealing
with these angels(?) when he had Congress
sional aspirations. If they would use any
thing but Sunday school methods against
one of their own party, it is not supposable
they would deal very gently with Democrats
The Sentinel should change its subject for
editorial matter, and cease its talk of fraud
and schemes and avoid being laughing stock
for Republicans as well as Democrats. Both
parties did all they could to win. The meth
DDS of both we believe to have been very
similar, and the Republicans lost. That is all
there is of it. and whining will not change
The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1901-12-07

1t will thus be seen that at the past four
Presidential elections the vote of the two
leading parties has been considerably larger
than at the State elections in the following
years and that the vote counted at the late
election was nearly as large as at the State
election in 1899, and far larger than that cast
in 1898.
In 1900, for President, the vote in Carroll
was 1914. In 1901 the total vote was but
1927, nearly 1900 less. We do not know
how many ballots were thrown out as defective.
Some one has stated the number to be 400.
If we accept this as correct, the vote was still
900 short of the vote for President last year.
These facts are of public record, but the
Sentinel would rather manufacture figures,
because figures so made better suit the i'm
pressions it would create. If the Sentanets
guess that 10000 people were DISTINGUISHED
by the new ballot law, it would be in order
to guess that about $4,000 were disfrancised
in 1898, for the vote of that year was nearly
%, 900 less than in 1892. And one could
guess that many voters were disfranchised at
every State election, because the vote at the
proceeding Presidential election was larger.
The Sentinel cannot evolve figures from its
imagination, guess at conclusions and palm
them off on the public as facts. The ADyo-
CATE is here, ready at all times to expose
such attempts

Election Contests Everywhere.

Herman S. Plat, the defeated Republican
candidate for Comptroller, has served notice
on Comptroller Herring that he will contest
his election before the Legislature.
In Carroll the defeated Republican candi-
dates for the House of Delegates have served
notices that they will contest the seats of the
successful Democrats, and the two unsuccess-
full Democrats have given notice that they will
contest the seats of the successful Republicans.
Contests for local offices and seats in the
Senate and House have been decided upon in
nine counties and the city of Baltimore.
In the contests to be made by the Repubi-
cans the party managers say they do not ex-
pect success, but that their object is to have
a recount in order to see how many defective
ballots there were. IF Senator McComas and
Chairman Goldsborough have no other object
in view, they can learn at the Sentinel office
that the defective ballots numbered 10000,
and that So, 900 were cast by White men and
$4,000 by Negroes. The Sentinel, perhaps
can give the number of defective ballots by
precincts throughout the State, and tell how
many were cast by White men and how many
by Negroes. 1t is useless to bother the House
of Delegates about this matter or the courts,
when the Sentinel has already figured out the

The total vote cast for Presidential candidates in
Maryland, In 1900, was 2645 while at the late
fos comptroer Of The Tressury was iss ir
ence of 67.247. While McKinley's plurality over
Bryan was Y al the latter had I2227l votes Just
for Comptroller. Allowing fora reasonable increase
in voting population 1t Is reasonable to estimate
Conspirstors Election Law or fully one-fourth the
voting population of the State. Of these about 3d.
900 are white men.
Every newspaper in the State, except the
Sentinel, knows that the vote at Presiden
tial election is always larger than at State
election, even when there is a Governor to be
chosen This is true in every other State,
but the observant(2) Sentinel has never noted
this. 1t compares the votes counted this year
with the vote cast last year and jumps to a
haphazzard conclusion that about 10000 vo-
tiers were DISTINGUISHED OF this number it
gtsesses thai about $1,000 where white men,
