brary was full of the odor of old gar
dens and of places where the wild
flowers grow. There was a bunch Of
red roses in a jar on the table, and
there was a cluster of violets in cup
on the mantel. Betty wore another
cluster. The flowers in both these
were of the double variety, and in
color they tended more to the blue.

FOR HONEST ELECTIONS.

Hon. George Whitelock, Republican nomi-
nee for Attorney General, in his speech at the
meeting in Ellicott City on Saturday night
last, said in part:
"In Maryland the Republican party rests on
a great basic principle which involves a great
moral reform. 1t is the principle of honest
eiections--an honest ballot and an honest
count Here is the expression of profound
conviction. The party that advocates it sets
its face to the future and the rising sun. Its
antagonisIn, on the contrary, stands for reac-
ton. 1t criticises and demolishes. In never
constructs. 1t remembers and regrets. 1t
lives upon the prejudices of a receding past.
Thus it appeals to race antipathy, hoping to
distract attention from the technicality chilean
cry and injustice of the Election Law with
which it has endowed US. An analysis of that
law means the ignominous defeat of the party
that conceived and enacted so nefarious a
measure.
directed the judges of election to ascertain the
real intention of the voters from the marks
on the face of the ballots. The Democratic
party deliberately repealed this provision Of
the statute. 1t went further and refused to re-
enact it when proposed by Isaac Lobe Stratus,
of Baltimore city, on the floor of the House
of Delegates. The Democratic party convoked
an extra session of the Legislature, asserting
its purpose to promote honesty in elections.
At that session it repealed the authority of the
election officials to ascertain the real intention
of the electors from the face of the ballots.
In like circumstances it refused to enact a
corrupt practice act, course of conduct con-
sistently maintained at the session of 1902
when the same measure failed for want of q
constitutional majority in the Senate.
ION such record the Democratic party in
vites you to recommission ito authorize it
to rehabilitate law which it has itself emas-
culated Its unredeemed pledges Of new as
sessment, of election and registration purifica-
ton, reiterated in platform after platform, are
the broken reeds on which you are asked to
learn. The lies of the past are your assurance
of truth in the future.
Remembering the disgrace of 1875, the
bloodshed and violence of 1895, you are to
commit your sacred right of suffrage to a
party whose minions were guilty of its ravish-
ment. The answer to the invitation is a
prompt declination. The safer and speedier
course to obtain the reforms now admitted on
both sides to be imperative is the election of a
Republican Legislature and a Republican Gov
ernor, who will bring back honest elections to
the honest people of the State"

THE YOUNG MEMS PARTY.
Baltimore american.

Baltimore american.
The Republican party of Maryland is essen
TALLY the young mems party. In the Demo
cratic ranks only old campaigners need apply.
The life of politics, the preservation of all that
is best in the parties, depends upon the infu-
sion of young blood, with all its energy and
virility. Young blood will not work-cannot
work, in fact-without encouragement. The
Democratic party holds out no such induce
ment. The young man who gets anything
whatever in the way of recognition or oppor-
tunity in the politics of this State must get it
from the Republican party, which is not boss
ridden and which is now doing all in its power
to reclaim the State from such an undesirable
situation.
Bossism and the young men are diametrical-
ly opposed to each other in their interests.
That which makes for the good of the one an
tagonizes the other. The boss is the old cam
paigner-the man of intrigue, who holds clubs
over the heads of his associates who binds
them with letters they dare not even try to
break. Thus the bosses sway their party, also
the affairs of State, so that popular liberty be-
comes merely tradition to be scoffed at. No

young man whose patriotism and interest in
the public welfare, to say nothing of his own
commendable personal ambition to rise to
prominence and honor in his commonwealth,
make him desire to "break in" from the out
side. There is no room for him.
Such is all the Democratic party in Mary
d-ring-ridden, ss-beIeagured-offers to
the young blood of the State. The Republican
party, on the other hand, has no bosses to keep
in power, nothing in view except to preserve
the liberties of the people at the polls and to
put an end to lot of fallacious and hypocriti-
cal platform cant regarding negro DONNA
ton and other screens for the real issue. This
present campaign is vital one, and its results
will determine whether the people or the
bosses are to rule in the State of Maryland; it
is to determine whether the present bonds par
TALLY fastened upon the voters of Maryland
shall be so firmly riveted as to make further
resistance against the bosses utterly futile.
1t is time for the young men to awake and
look to their own welfare and future interests.

MR.. WILLIAMS TO MR.. WAKEFIELD.

At the big mass-meeting in Frederick last
week Hon. S. A. Williams made answer to a
question of Mr.. Warfeld in the following
dignifed manner:
1.-The question Mr.. Warfield has put to me
as to whether have sought to avoid moral
and legal responsibility on the bond of public
official is proper one. do not consider it
as a peronal attack. He has right TO put it.
1t is proper for the people of Maryland to
judge of my actions in that matter.
He refers TO my being one of the suretleS
of my uncle the late Stevenson Archer, who
was treasurer Of the State of Maryland. The
facts in that connection are these: The late
Col. K. II. Webster, the late Henry w. Archer,
Messrs. Murray Vandiver, J. Thomas c. Hop
kins and Joseph M. STREET. were sureties with
me on Mr.. Archer's bonds. The State brought
suits, and judgments were entered against US
after trial in the Circuit Court for Baltimore
county. We defended them on the ground
that the State treasury officials, the Governor
and Comptroller, had been guilty of negli-
gence with reference to Mr.. Archer's accounts,
in that they had accepted US on several bonds
after the default occurred, and had led us to
believe that his accounts were right when we
executed the second and third bonds.
"The case went to the Court of Appeals, and
that court in affirming the judgment Of the
court below, and holding US bound to pay the
money said in substance with reference to
our defence that while it was an equitable one
and entitled TO serious consideration at the
hands of the Legislature. it was not one Of
which they could take notice. On the strength
Of these views and remarks Of the court the
matter was laid before the next General As
sembly, which relieved Us of one-third the
Judgment which had been recovered against US.
These are the facts, and do not believe
that there is any fair-minded man with full
knowledge of all these facts, who will say that
1f
tive relief so given us, were guilty of seeking
to avoid the force of any moral obligation. On
the contrary, know it was the general senti-
ment at that time, and so expressed by the
public press, that it was wrong for the State to
require of us sureties the payment Of money
the loss Of which would not have occurred but
for the neglect of the treasury officials. Would
not Mr.. Warfield have made this defense and
accepted this relief for the Fidelity Company
had it been surety in our stead?
