HIS LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
Mr.. Van Bibber Writes to the Committee
Accepting the Nomination for Asso-
ciate Judge of the Third
Judicial Circuit.
BE1AIR, Md. August goth. 1903.

BELAIR, Md, August 10Th, 1903
TO Messrs Garter, Mitchell and Duncan, Commit
Tee of the Democratic Convention Of the Third Judi
cidI Circuit Gentlemen Il write to acknowledge
the receipt of your favor of the 18th inst noti-
flying me of my nomination by the Democratic
convention of the Third Judicial Circuit as the
candidate for Associate Judge at the coming
election.
/ desire to express to you and through you to
the convention and to the Democrats of the
Third Circuit my appreciation of the high honor
thus done me, and in accepting the nomination
to say that if elected will make every effort /
am capable of to properly discharge the duties
of the office. No one can have higher ideal of
what Judge should be than / have. He should
above all be an industrious student, absolutely
fair and impartial at all times and under all cir
cumstances; he should preside with dignity,
have an inexhaustible supply of patience an
unfailing courtesy and the work of the court
should be disposed of with promptness and dis
patch.
While cannot hope to combine completely
all these qualities, my constant effort and amhi-
ton will be. if called upon to discharge the
functions of Judge, to keep them ever before
me and make them my aim and ambition.
Thanking you again, remain
Your obedient servant

WILLIAMS AND WAKEFIELD.

Mr.. Edwin Warfield appeared on the fair
grounds at Timonium on Thursday as the man
already agreed upon by the Democratic bosses
as their candidate for Governor. Some sur
prise was expressed that Mr.. Stevenson A.
Williams, who has been prominently named
for this honor by the Republicans, was not
present also. The explanation is easy. Mr..
Williams occupies leading place as the posi-
BILE Republican nominee for Governor. He is
not pushing himself for this high Office and
going about with his pockets filled with but
tons to be distributed by the handful to gaping
crowds. He is willing to wait until the State
convention meets and then-if the delegates
from every county there assembled express
their preference for him as the standard bearer
of the Republican party-not of cotorie of
four or five bosses or managers-he will accept
the responsibility and go before the people as
their candidate. Mr.. Williams is not "but-
tons" man. He is in the hands of his party
and his we'll known modesty would not permit
him to appear at big county fair in order to
parade himself as the "only thing on earth"
fit to be Governor of Maryland. If the tide
goes the Williams way in the State convention
which now appears likely-and he is nomi-
mated for Governor he will be elected and but
tons will have cut no figure in his triumph.
OCCASIONALLY THERE arises Democrat who
can read the signs of the times and is not
afraid to proclaim his observations. The fol-
lowing refreshing remarks are taken from the
gpartansburg Is C.) 1oal,7ul: at is our hum-
BILE opinion that the Democrats, under what
ever leadership and upon whatever platform
or straddle they may make their campaign,
have no more chance of electing President
next year than the traditional SNOWFALL had
of maintaining its physical integrity in the
region from which Dives called to Lazarus
while enjoying the perpetual delights of the
good old summer time. 1t does not matter
whether the candidate be German, Parker,
Cleveland, Bryan, Tom Johnson, or any other
Johnson, or anybody else at ALL the result will
be the same; defeat, large and loud, emphatic,
long drawn out, and clearly understandable
This is not the time for radical politics of any
kind, and is not the time to make the change
of one kind of conservatism to another. There
is therefore every prospect that the present
Republican administration will be trium-
phantly reelected, and there is little use of
worrying over who is going to be the Demo-
cratic nominee, except that we may know who
to sympathize with when the storm has cleared
away and the victims mutilated remains have
been dug out of the debris. When the people
of the United States want Democratic adj
ministration they will doubtless notify us.
Upto this time the most careful and watchful
attention has failed to justify the faintest sus.
picion of such DESIRE"

THERE WAS a good deal of politics about
Towson early this week and the disgruntled
and dissatisfied Democrat could be found with
out the aid of magnifying glass. And some
things developed about this class that caused
good many expressions of surprise. 1t is GER
tain that some heretofore active and promi-
nent men in the party have "a rod in pickle
for certain gentlemen and that they propose
to use it this year. The day once was when
such dissatisfied ones could be easily whipped
into line for "the ticket" but that day is past.
1t is not the ticket itself they are after, but
they are after the man who put it up and to
punish him they are taking a stand that
will make it extremely uncomfortable for
somebody.

THE WASHINGTON Star of Monday last, men
tioning the fact that Senator German had
been in the city that day, said: "a friend of
Senator German said today that while all this
talk is proceeding, whether the Senator can or
cannot get the Democratic nomination for the
Presidency, the gossipers may be reckoning
without their host. According to this narrator,
it is by no means a foregone conclusion that
Senator German is candidate. The friend
in question went on to say that Senator Cor
man will seek the nomination if he is reasona-
bly, confident of two resClts-namely, that he
can secure the nomination and that his chances
for election are equal to those of the Republi-
can candidate. A handicap upon either prop
osition, it was stated, would preclude his APP
pearance before the convention as a candidate.
1t was stated that the Senator does not care
for complimentary nomination, with defeat
staring him in the face. He would abhor the
idea of being candidate before the conven-
ton and meeting defeat there. His position
in American politics and craftsmanship is so
well secured that he does not feel the necessity
for empty honors.'

SOME DEMOCRAT who has little regard for
the truth started the report this week that Mr..
Alexander Mccormick, one of the Republican
nominees for County Commissioner, had with
drawn from the ticket. OF course there was
not the slightest foundation for such rumor
and its evident purpose was to give out the
idea that the Republican candidates had no
idea of winning, hence were not anxious to
waste time in going afterthe unattainable. As
matter OF fact the Republican nominees are
very we'll satisfied with the outlook-so well
satisfied, in fact, that they propose to ''stick'
and put up lively fight to win. They have
a united party behind them and are receiving
much encouragement from the opposition.
They elected part of their county ticket in 1885,
when there were hot factional differences
in the party why should they not be able
to elect the whole of it in 1908 when the party
is as solid as it is possible for political party
to be? As we have said the outlook is excel
lent and if the Democrats think the Republi-
cans don't mean fight" they are deceiving
Themselves woefully

ing which discussed the appointing OF

BATTALION EXAMINATION.
Interesting Exercises in Guard
Duty Were Had by Guards,

Interesting Exercises in Guard
Duty Were Had by Guards.
An interesting and instructive bat
TALON examination in guard duty was
held in the several companies of the
Guards last night. The results of the
examination was not made known, as
it will take several days to examine
all of the papers. The winners will be
announced at the next meeting of the
battalion.
Twenty questions We're prepared
and given to the members of each
command. In order to insure a degree
of excellency Maj Williamson had
offered cash prizes aggregating $40, to
be equally divided between the four
companies in the following manner:
Ten dollars to the man attaining the
highest mark, So to the man with the
fourth highest mark and 81 to the one
having the seventh highest mark.
The object in so distributing the
prizes was to encourage every man to
make an effort. The distribution had
pared themselves for the contest by
hard study. and it is probable that
a high average will be made by the
members of the battalion in the ex-
animation. The portion of the tactics
with which the examination deals is
one in which the men need especially
to be versed since the men will have
more opportunity than ever before,
under the provisions of the Dick bill,
to carry this knowledge into execu-
ton.

SWELL FLORIDA NEGRO
JUMPED WEDDING GAME.
Cash and Trinkets of Bride-eIect
Went With Him.

Cash and Trinkets of Bride-eIect
Went with Him.
Robbed by the man that she had
every reason to believe was going to
make her his wife to-day. Margaret
Clayton, colored, living at No. SAP
State street, east, appeared at police
headquarters yesterday afternoon in
great distress, and lodged her COM
plant with Desk Sergeant Joseph Nc
Cool.
She had been victimized by James
Wright, a negro with straight hair
and a Prince Albert coat, who she
described DIS looking very much like
an Indian. He had travelled all the
way from Florida to make her mis-
wife, and at the last minute had
skipped out with some of her belong
ings. All the plans for the wedding
had been made and Margaret had IN
vited her friends to call around and
see her tied up" with the Indian-like
coon with the long coat.
Margaret has some property in her
own right, and those who knew her
considered her a good catch, and new
er dreamed that the colored sport
from Florida would give her the
frozen nit" Had such a thing been
suggested to Margaret the CLASSY
stare" would have been promptly
given, for, as she explained herself,
she had unbounded confidence in Jim.
Margaret is widow and of course her
first husband presented her with a
ring. To show Wright in just what
esteem she held him she permitted
him to wear the plain gold band on
his dusky finger. 1t went with her
other loose goods and chattels.
Happy as a pair of turtle doves, and
with only the thought of the morrow,
the two spent the morning together at
Margaret's home on State street. The
prospective groom seemed content and
appeared as if he was ready to settle
down for life. The surroundings were
agreeable and he was being made
much of with his long coat and swell
airs. But later developments showed
that he was scheming all the time.
Even while he was making goo-goo
eyes at Margaret he was giving the
Valuables in the room another kind of
dreamy look. He watched her closely
to see where she kept the goods"
Then Margaret found that she
would have to go down town. She
left her hearts desire" in charge of
the premises and promised to hurry
back. She knew that he would be
lonesome when she was not by his
side and had no intention of causing
him pain so early in the game. But
Wright was wise and as soon as the
door closed he began to get busy. He
selected $l450 in real money, a gold
horseshoe stick pin, a satchel owned
by Margarets son, looked at the gold
band on his finger, and then bowed
himself out. He did his stunt well
and although Margaret furnished the
police with an accurate description of
him, he had not been located up to an
early hour this morning.

ARRANG DEMENT'S FOR
UNION SERVICES.

Made at Meeting of Ministerial As
sOciGtion-Rev. Cummings Talk.
The Savannah Ministerial Associa-
ton held it's April meeting yesterday
morning at Wesley Monumental
Church and discussed at some length
the union services to be opened here
in May, under the auspices of the con-
gregations represented in the associa-
ton.
1t was decided that the union
services start on the third Sun
day in May, in a tabernacle
to be erected in the Park
Extension, east of Bull street. Rev. T.
T. Martin, an eloquent Baptist minis
ter who was recently in charge of a
large church in st. Louis, will con-
duct the services. Mr.. Cowart, of
Texas, or Mr.. Ramsel, of Chattanooga,
may be brought here to lead the sing
ing, and Mrs. d. H. Heidi has been
secured as organist. A large choir will
no doubt be formed. The associa-
ton will hold another meeting on Mon
day, April 20 to finally settle all mat
tiers of detail.
The association had a visitor in the
person of Rev. Fl. S. Cummings, a
Methodist minister of Maryland known
quite generally as the blind preacher
of the senate" Mr.. Cummings is max
ing a tour of the country preaching
on prohibition and plans to thus awak-
en- interest in a great prohibition
convention, which he will endeavor
to have held in Washington sometime
in 1906. Mr.. Cummings was accord
ed the floor and explained at some
length his purposes and asked that a
church be given him next Sunday aft
ernoon for a meeting, and that the
association Endorsed and aid him in
his work.
The members of the association con-
scented to announce the service and
address, which will be in Wesley Mon
umental Church, Sunday afternoon, at
5 o'clock.
