The letter which Knight enclosed, with
the request to Mrs. stiles TO mail in Omaha,
was addressed to Mrs. Brady, zoos North
Twenty-hrs street. 1t was dated at Omaha
and evidently written by Knight for the

is as follows:

ascertained that there was no such num-
Der on P street.
While the detective, was at the Knight
residence everything appeared to be in dis
order, there being every indication of a
moving. An express wagon was there, and
later on it carried away a trunk. This
trunk has been found at the Union depot
and it contains nothing but wearing apparel
belonging to. Mrs. Knight. No claim had
been put in for the trunk at the depot at
the time the police found it there.

the woman Knight went to The office, called
for his pay, and falling to get it. stated
that he could not wait and would leave
without it. 1t is known that he started
west on the Union Pacific that evening.
From Columbus on the following day he
wrote a letter to Mrs. Stiles, of which the
following is a copy:

The Extra Session of the Legisla-
ture- Why 1t Was Necessary.

We assert that the extra session Of the Geuer-
al Assembly called by Governor Smith in 1901
was necessary because Of Republican fraud and
rasealty ia padding the census lists so a. to
gain increased representation in counties con
trolled by the heavy Negro vote. That the
errors in the enumeration Of the population in
these counties were designed and deliberate,
was amply shown in the investigation con
Quoted by agents Of the Census Bureau at
Washington and the conviction OF some four
or five of the rascals who did the work by com.
mand Of men higher up in the Republican
party of Maryland When the Democrats Of
this Stale challenged the correctness Of the
census in some five or six counties, every Re
publican of high position denied thar there
was any fraud and every Republican journal
chimed in with the leaders. Had the federal
census stood as to State matters, undue repre-
senta,ion would have been given ia the Gen
eral Assembly to the counties where the cen.
sus was fraudulent. and there would have been
an unfair distribution OF the school funds for
the following ten years. A corrected census

made an extra session Of the Legislature nee
essary, so that q new enumeration Of inhabl-
tants could be authorized by Legislative enact

the accused who had padded the census re
turns every Republican in the Legislature
voted against the bill authorizing a State
meraiion, thus convietiug themselves per.
fectly willing TO profit by the fraudulent Fed
eral census.
Connected with the Republican plan TO gain
power by fraudulent census was scheme
to eolonize the State with Negroes from States
further South And We charge now that
should the Republicans carry the State and a
majority Of the Senate and House OF Delegates
they will proceed at once 10 further strengthen
their party by altering the ballot law aud re
storing party erhblems so that every ignorant
and illiterate Negro can vote with certainty

be a invitation to the DISTINGUISHED Negroes
in other Southern States TO come to Maryland,
and to the nearly sixty thousand nov register

thus entrenehing in power party unfit 10

Speak Out.

In speaking of the platforms ofthe Demo

Sun said
"The differences between the parties on
certain policies are of a vital nature
Why does not the Sun designate the differ
ences and show the people on which side the
public welfare lies?
In its prospectus, published in all the pa
pers of Maryland last winter, it said
The Sun is the best type of a newspaper,
morally and intellectually. 1t is an educator
of the highest character, constantly stimulat-
ing to noble ideals in individual and national
life
1t is the best newspaper, in our estimation,
in the whole country, but we respectfully sub
nit that in the present it is not acting the part
of an educator editorially and Stimulating to
noble ideals in individual and national life.

After McComas' Scalp.

Senator McComas did not want an endorse
ment for reelection to the Senate by the Re
publican State Convention. He knew that
most of the Republican nominees for the
Senate and House of Delegates throughout the
State are for him, and if the Republicans
should carry the legislature he would be re-
elected. lie also knew that there Is much
opposition to him among Republicans and be
did not care to further intensity the opposi-
ton by having his personally injected into the
campaign by an endorsement by the State
Convention. This was wise, but McCOmas
will not escape The opposition to him know
that the Republican legislative nominees are
for him, and that their election means Nc
Comas' reelection; therefore they propose TO
defeat the Republican candidates for the Sen
ate and House Of Delegates. In Carroll many
Republicans are determined to defeat McCo-
mas by defeating the Legislative nominees, aud
the same determination is to be found in every
county.

A Contrast.

The Administration Of Governor John Wal.
ter Smith has been clean aud able, and 10 bold
contrast to that Of Governor Lowndes. his Re
publican predecessor. Iucompeiency marked
Governor Lowndes' Administration from its
beginning 20 IFS close Throughout a large
portion OF the State his appointees we're in
competent. notably Justices Of the peace and
school commissioners, while the election su
peryisors were the most extreme partisans to
be found or were selected because they were
mere tools of designing and INSCRIPTIONS Po-
litieal manipulators. While protesting belief
in the merit system Gov. Lowndes selected
men for public Office who were best known
for partisan activity. He seized every office
in the State that was possible and filled it with
his own partisans. The public school system
was caught up with avidity aud with but two
exceptions Democrats were replaced by Re
publieans as School Commissioners. Boards
that had been divided politically were made
solidly Republican, and efficient aud expert
enced school examiners and assistants were
replaced by new men, some Of whom were
totally unfit.
Stevenson A. Williams is no better than Elk
Governor Lowndes In his Senatorial career
he was a blind follower of his party, and never
rose above partisanship upon any occasion,
Can better administration be expected of him
than Lowndes gave?

liz Carroll more than 500 Democratic bal
lots must be cast to offset the negro vote be
fore any can be counted against the white Re-

come in addition to the 500 negro votes?
