THE HON. EDWIN WAKEFIELD.

In view of the claim which some of
MIR. Edwin Warfield's friends are
making for him, and which he him
self is parading-th he is man of
Independent views and with a strong
spirit of independence in all that he
does; his record, which signally fails
to bear this out, is more than remark
able. The man is a creature and a
child of the Democratic ring, and it is
very doubtful if a more regular ring
man ever aspired for high office be-
fore in this State.
Mr.. Warfield owes all that he is to-
day to politics, and while he is not
overwhelming his friends who are
fighting for him with the money
wherewith to fight in fact, display
ing for the first time in his life some
independence in this one thing since
it touches his pocket; he nevertheless
owes his all to politics, from his long
life in office and fidelity and subser-
viency to his masters, the ring and
the ring bosses.
In the Senate of Maryland Mr.. War
field was regular, no man more so,
and no matter what the bill and no
matter what the principles involved,
Mr.. Wartield voted with gratifying
regularity as he was told to vote. As
the President of the Senate his course
was matter of deepest qualification
to German and others, who found it
not even necessary to ask him if he
favored this or that bill. They knew
that he was grateful and that he
would vote as he was told. One in
stance in particular serves to illus
trate Mr.. Warfield's independence
and his claim, now, on the Independ-
ent vote.
1t happened in 1886, while he was
President of the Senate. A bill came
up for consideration which the House
had passed. Mr.. Warfield, properly
instructed came down from his throne
and spoke eloquently against the
bill, and so great was the power of
his winsome voice, that the bill was
defeated.
During the night, however, the cor
poration in whose favor the bill had
been introduced appealed to the
ring" and the bosses in conference

franchised last year. At least one
third of the votes was thrown out. 1t
will be seen how law aimed at the
negro voter caught the taxpaying
white citizens as well. The ballot to
be voted this fall will contain nearly
one hundred names. 1t will be diff
cult for even the most intelligent cleo
tor to vote it correctly. This is what
the German Democracy is giving us
and they are this day in conspiracy to
make matters worse.

STEVENSON ARCHER WILLIAMS.

Many qualities, almost all good,
even in the democratic press of Mary
land, have been attributed to Mr..
Stevenson Archer Williams, the re-
publican candidate for Governor of
this state but, that he is a clever, re-
sourceful, although scrupulously hon
est politician, has not yet been put in
print, and this to some minds will be
his strongest card.
That Mr.. Williams is honest all men
know. That he is an agreeable,
courteous gentleman, highly polished
aud well educated, all who read must
know. But that he is resourcful,
shrewd and very skillful in the many
sided game of politics without finding
it necessary ever to be tricky, is
quality that not all, in fact very few
of his own party factions know that
he possessed. In fact while men all
over the state entertain the highest
respect for him and while the demo-
Gratis themselves have found very
little to say in an uncomplimary vein,
the fact remains that he is and has
been underestimate from the start,
and that, singularly enough, too, by
the very man who should have under
stood him best.
Through all the whirl and turmoil
of the tactional fight waged until this
time in the republican party, it is a
singular thing that Mr.. Williams
positive character that he is and as
every reader of newspapers through
out the state must have seen, has an
tagonized none in any faction and
stands today in the bright glare of a
tiercelycontesting and furiously work
ing party, split in many things but
anabsolute unit with only
so far as the gubernatorial selection
is concerned, and thanks to him in a
large measure, so far as the state
ticket likewise is concerned.
The republican rows up to this time
will all act in Mr.. Williams favor and
if there is man in the city of Balti-
more or in any county of this state
who has the slightest idea of venting
his disappointed spleen on the princi-
pal nominee, his identity is secret
and his whereabouts unknown.
And so smoothly has his entire cam
paign been managed that to the
casual observer, what has in reality
been the calm, careful and skillful
play of trained nurse, must have
seemed more the drift of events and
the luck of the player, which after all
is the acme of perfection in doing
anything or in playing any game.
Mr.. Williams is of Welsh descent
and of the fourth generation in Mary
land, his great grandfather haying
settled in Hartford county, near Havre
de Grace in the middle of the 18th
century. He himself is graduate of
Princeton and later of the University
of Maryland. He is successful law
yer with an extensive and lucrative
practice, besides being the president
of the Hartford National Bank of Bel

THE Warfeld family in Howard
county is very strong one. Arthur
P. German, Jr., aspires to the State
Senate from Howard. That's why
Senator German backed Warfeld for
the gubernatorial nomination in the
face of the opposition of the other
democratic state leaders, and about
the only reason why he is candidate
now-Gorman wanted him.
