old man then draws from beneath his
robe a rude wooden cross and raises
it aloft, trustingly, towards the sky.
The hymn of the christian is then
heard: Nero becomes maddened at
what he sees and hears. and raising
suddenly from his throne, dashed
down the steps, and runs up to where
the old christian stands snatches the
cross from his hands, casts il on the
ground. and stamping it, cries out
aloud-"Death to the Christians,

The cry is taken up by the populace
and all cry out-"Death to the Chris

A prominent political worker
of the Republican party got
caught at his dirty work at the
office of Registration here last
Tuesday and was shown up in
fine style. There were several
colored men whose names had
been stricken from the list pre-
vious to this registration be
cause they had been working
out of the state. He knew this,
and a Democratic worker heard
him tell the men to swear that
they had been off visiting rela-
tives. When the men were
put on oath the Democratic
worker accused the man of his
duplicity and got him so COM
pletely cornered with the proof
that he sneaked away. It
would be a good joke on him
were it not a very serious
offense to advise and instruct
men in swearing to a lie. We
expect more from the leaders of
of the grand and good Republi-
can party of Maryland. the
party that placed bayonets at
the breasts of those who did
not believe in it's principles and
prevented them from voting
the Democratic ticket.

THE SENATORSHIP.

1t will not take a column of
space for us to express in plain
English, and to the point, our
opinion of the Maryland Sena-
torial question.
1t is our opinion that Demo-
Gratis in every county in the
State and the city of Baltimore
should first concentrate their
eff orts upon the election of a
Democratic Legislature before
they proceed to elect a United
States Senator to succeed Nc
Comas. There is hard work
before us; there is no reason
why we should be sanguine of
a complete walk over, although
we may see signs enough al
ready indicating Democratic
victory. 1t is bad policy and
worse politics to inject the Sen
atorship into the campaign to
such an extent as to cause
: heart burnings and animosities,
as seem to be the case with
some of the distinguished states
men of Baltimore.
II The election of United
States Senator is a very inn
portant matter, no doubt, but
there are other, and to the
Democracy of Maryland, more
important reasons for the cleo
ton of every Democratic candi-
date to the Legislature than the
election of a United States
Senator.
The Democratic platform
points out in no uncertain
words the dangers that con-
front the people of this state in
case the Republican party is
successful and we believe Mes
srs. Poe and Rayner endorse this
platform. These are the things
that should line up the Democ-
racy of the state in solid
phalanx against the enemy and
the question of the Senatorship
can well afford to be laid aside
until, after the third day of
November, when it has been de-
termined that the Democracy
is in the majority.
Democratic tickets have been
completed in all the counties
and in Baltimore City, we have
not heard the integrity of any
of the candidates for the Legis-
lature questioned, and as they
were chosen by the party in
convention assembled and not
behind any Office doors, as is
the custom of the Republican
party, we believe they can be
trusted to do the will Of the peo-
pie of Maryland at the proper
time, and that time is when the
Legislature Of 1904 assemblies
in Annapolis and is ready to
elect a Senator.

Undisturbed, even needless of
the sophistry, abuse and misrep-
resentation of his opponents,
Mr.. Warfield goes placidly but
energetically along on his cam
paign, winning votes by his
frank and direct speech. He
does not boast of his civic spir-
it," as does Mr.. Williams, but
in him it is to be found deeply
imbedded and not of mushroom
growth. He believes in every
thing that can add to Mary
lands growth and prosperity.
He would keep Maryland the
law-abiding State she now is,
to encourage the growth of her
population, to insure the stabil-
tiles of her Industries and the
peaceful enjoyment of all prop
erty rights. He would hold the
fair fame of the state dearly by
enforcing honesty ''and efficient
service in high places. All these
he has pledged to the people,
and his pledges have no uncer-
tain ring. He has promised to
carry to the office of Governor
the same business methods that
have made his name, his bust
ness and his State known in
many countries. Mr.. Warfeld
will be elected by a plurality
that will carry confusion into
the ranks Of the Republicans.
