SENATOR BLACKBURN, of Kentucky, has an
nounced his preference for Senator German, of
Maryland, as the Democratic nominee for
President next year. In an interview a few
days ago he said: with German we can win.
He has the confidence of the money powers
and is man to be trusted. He is conserva-
tive and strong man in his recognition of
labor. There should not be too much Cleve-
land or Bryan in the convention. We lost
twice when we should have won, because the
capitalists would not place their confidence in
the principles of Mr.. Bryan"

AN ACTIVE movement is in progress in Bal
timore, as well in some sections of the State,
to capture the two great political conventions
that win be held in 1904 The idea appears to
have taken firm hold and already many
prominent citizens Of both leading parties have
promised their assistance in the movement.
1t has been many years since National Con-
vention was held in Baltimore-in fact when
the city was mere village compared to what
it is today. 1t now has splendid hotels to ac-
commodate thousands of visitors, and build
ing that would very well answer the require
ments of such large bodies. And then the
hospitality of the people is something to be
considered. We believe if the proper effort is
made at least one of these conventions may
be secured for Baltimore, and we earnestly
hope that both of them will come to the chief
city of the South, which has many advantages
over other cities that may be mentioned in
the same connection.

The FACT that the Republican Presidential
nomination has been settled with virtual
unanimity year in advance of the convention
date will be worth millions upon millions of
dollars to the business and industrial interests
OF the country, simply because capital is SEN
sitive and dislikes political turmoil. It is a
generally accepted fact that political excite
ment every four years has depressing effect
upon industrial activities. Hence this will be
largely eliminated in 1904 by the sure nomi-
nation of Roosevelt and the common belief
that he will be elected. The unanimity of
sentiment for the President is not only i'm
measurably honorable to himself and credita-
BILE to the spirit of harmony in the Republi-
can party but also has an incalculable bust
mess value that every business interest in the
