EX-GOVERNOR BROWN ON DEMOCRATIC
HARMONY,

twill be remembered that last year,
just about this time, and just a week
before the meeting of the Democratic
State Central Committee, ex-Gov-
ernor Brown, in an interview, stirred
up much excitement by his denuncia-
ton of the present Democratic party
leaders and their methods. Immedi-
ately after the interview Governor
Brown left for his usual trip abroad.
Last week Governor Brown left Bal
timore for New York and sailed for
England. Before leaving he said he
had not been invited to the harmony
conference of certain Democratic
leaders.
'Hominy," he said, would suit
that crowd a whole lot better than
harmony. No, have not been invit-
ed to this harmony conference. In
my campaign 1 found it better to be
harmonious with the people than
with politicians. If the people were
in harmony with you the politicians
had to be. This crowd of leaders that
are now talking about harmony seem
to take the other tack altogether.
They try to harmonic the politicians
and let the people 90 where they
please. They will find that no har-
mony worthy of the name can be re-
stored by any such getting together
as this. 1t will take more than
gathering of politicians in a room to
restore harmony in the Democratic
party. What is needed is change
in methods and ways which the peo-
pie don't like. Whether this crowd
now managing the party will ever try
this do not know, but if they are
wise they will.n

A PARTY OF NEGATION.

The Democratic party got hard
blow from Congressman Cannon, of
Illinois, the other day when he said:
1--WE pull the wagon and we do the
work, and you find the fault. We are
doing the best that can be done in
settling the questions that grew out
of the war of 1898, but all that you
can do is to scold." Ifanybodyrecol-
lects anything that has been done by
the Democracy in recent years except
to scold he ought to tell it as a contri-
button to history. When Money, of
Mississippi, as blatant a demagogue as
Clark, of Missouri, or Tillman, of
South Carolina, was asked few
months ago how he would solve the
Philippine problem, his answer was;
1.-The Philippines may go to the devil
for all care"
This is the Democratic way of deal
ing with great issues. That party's
only function in the politics of the
past 40 years has been to obstruct
every great measure which the Re
publican party has brought forward.
Once or twice when it essayed some
thing in the field of creative states
manship it passed bills and put
through a tariff which President
Cleveland said stood for party per-
fidy and party dishonor,n and which
he refused to sign, letting it become
law through the expiration of the
time limit. All the legislation since
1861 which met the national necessi-
ties as they presented themselves has
been enacted by the Republican
party, and, in almost every case,
against the persistent and malignant
hostility of the Democracy. And yet
this is the party which the so-called
leaders of the Democracy would have
the people support by their ballots.
These leaders want the offices and so
long as they can hold these they do
not care snap for the prosperity of
the people.

IS THIS THE "GET-TOGETHER" POLICY,

Under the above caption, the New
York Sun gives it's views about the
divided condition of the Democratic
party. In speaking about the situa-
ton it says:
Kisses at a Democratic meeting
for the Democratic candidate for
President who at two successive cleo
tions had polled the greatest number
of votes ever cast by the Democratic
party in national election are very
remarkable manifestation to be made
at this time when it is loudly pro-
claimed that get together" has been
established as the policy of the party.
''At the Tammany Fourth of July
celebrations when the secretary of
the meeting read letter from Mr..
Bryan, there were Kisses from many
parts of the hall and they persisted
in spite of the efforts to down them
by cheering.
when William Jennings Bryan first
ran as the Democratic candidate for
President, in 1896, he received $500
925 votes. Four years before Grover
Cleveland had received only 1856, 91S
votes, or almost million less. In
1900 Mr.. Bryan polled 6,35S, 7S9 votes.
1T is true that the increase in Mr..
Bryan's poll at both elections over
that for Mr.. Cleveland represented
very nearly the number of votes cast
in 1892 for the Populist candidate, Mr..
Weaver or 1,041, 028 votes. But in
both 1896 and 1900 the only possible
chance of electing a Democratic can
didate had was in drawing to him
that large Populist vote; and again
in 1904 there will be no hope for the
Democracy except in continuing to
draw to itself the political sentiment
which has been expressed in Populism
before the advent of Mr.. Bryan.
Moreover if it was withdrawn the
Democratic party would have to fight
it as an enemy, instead of enjoying
its eager assistance as an ally.
"a policy for the Democratic party
which expresses its real inwardness
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1902-07-17

is surely owing in no small part to it's
solemn pledges, its faithful observance
of them and its brilliant accomplish
ments in this direction that the Re-
publican party has won its well-nigh
impregnablep ositionin the confidence
of the American people. Stick an
other pin there.
The Republican party has achieved
greatness because it has merited it
because its mission has been patriotic
because its beliefs and its practices
have been positive and Affirmative
because its policies have resulted in
placing the United States in the front
rank of nations and have given to the
American people prosperity such as
no other nation on this earth has ever
enjoyed. The Republican party has
achieved greatness because it has
never allowed itself to be seduced
from the fundamental truths of its
political creed, nor enticed from its
well-defined aims by reason of mere
temporary expediency. 1t has never
been influenced by halfway bugaboos
nor mugwumpian Mysteries.
Under no circumstances has the Re
publican party walked open eyed in
to pitfalls laid, perhaps unconscious
ly, by conceited fools, nor deliberately
given help to those who sought its
undoing, or desired, even unwittingly
to give the country's prosperity a
black eye. And never, no never has
the Republican party allowed itself
to be bulldozed and coerced into
abandoning its traditions, forswear-
ing its creed, reversing its principles
and inviting destruction.

In the Disputed Boundary Line Case Be
tween Maryland and West Virginia.
Yesterday morning at the office of
Mr.. Edward H. Sincell, in Oakland,
one of the attorneys who represent
Maryland in the disputed boundary
line case between this State and the
State of West Virginia, the taking of
testimony of witnesses in the matter
was begun, a large number being ex-
amined, among them being Mr.. w.
McCulloh Brown, engineer on the
part of Maryland; Mr.. John Harmed,
Jesse j. Ashby, Jr., Parker Ashby
and several others.
Maryland is also represented by Mr..
Frederick H. Cook, of Baltimore, as
sistant to Attorney General Rayner.
The State of West Virginia is rep
resented by Senator Geo. E. Price, of
Charleston. Mr.. Julius K. Monroe, of
Kingwood, who was engineer in run
ming the line on the part of West Vir-
ginia, was also present. The testi-
mony is being taken before Stenog-
rapher Finley G. Hendrickson, of
Cumberland.
Today will also be consumed by the
examination of witnesses in Oakland
and tomorrow the attorneys and
stenographer will go to Sang Run
where the examinations will be con
tinued.
Tuesday Mr.. Cook, accompanied by
Mr.. Brown, went up to Fairfax Stone
and Potomac Spring where they
viewed the location of these two i'm
portant points.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY,

No man ever made the Republican
party. No man ever formulated it's
political doctrines, fought it's battles,
won its victories or established its
greatness. And no man can ever
make the Republican party cut loose
from its traditions, recant its belief,
violate its solemn pledges, reverse it's
policies and deliberately plunge to
destruction and oblivion. Stick a pin
right there.
The Republican party believes in
the doctrine of Protection to Ameri-
can industries not Protection to some
of them at the expense of others, but
genuine Protection to all the interest
OF the entire people. 1t is primarily
owing to its economic policy, and it's
legislation and its administrations
and to the energy which this dogma
in the Republican creed has fostered
and promoted, that the United States
have attained such a proud and prom
inent position among the nations. 1t

VERY SERIOUSLY BURNED.
Oldest Child of Thomas F. Burke Received
Dangerous Burns Sunday.

SUNDAY
David, the three year-old son of Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas F. Burke, of the
Schley Hotel, on Sunday evening
about six O'Clock set his clothing on
fire with a match and as a result he
received injuries which may event
ually prove fatal.
The child was playing under the
side porch of the residence portion of
the hotel with some matches and a
newspaper which he in some manner
secured possession of. His father was
on the porch above him and was at
tracted by the screams of the child as
he ran into the yard with his clothes
blazing on the whole upper portion
of his body.
Mr.. Burke jumped to the ground
and with his hands tore the burning
clothes from the child's body. In do
ing so his hands were badly blistered
and are very painful. The little boys
body and arms from near his waist
was burned in a solid blister and it
was thought at first that he had in
hailed the flames. He is still in a pre-
carious condition as a result and is
not yet wholly out of danger.
