THE REPUBLICAN leaders of Baltimore city
have very wisely determined not to nominate
candidates for judges of the Supreme Bench
against Judges Dennis and Wright, who were
renominated by the Democrats. The Repub-
licans nominated Mr.. Daniel L. Brinton for
judge to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Judge Richie.

BETWEEN THE Georgia proposition to deport
American negroes and the foreign combina-
ton to grow cotton, the present production of
100000 bales year in the United States
seems to be point of attack. Canada also is
trying to attract Southern negroes to its west
ern lands. Deporting the negro from the
South is large proposition from the labor
point of view.

The ASSETS of the Lake Superior Consolida-
ted will scarcely be sufficient to pay its chief
creditor $4,000 900, and yet it was capitalized at
S102, 900. Now it is broken, running many
and crippling others, with nobody to blame or
subject to arrest and punishment. Is it any
wonder the masses have contempt for law
as she is writ" and resort to lynchings?

Mr.. WILLIAMS record shows that he fought
the Democrats tooth and nail in their course
during the extra session of the Legislature and
a part of his work, if elected Governor, will be
to eradicate what he couldn't then prevent.
Will this lose any votes for him?

MIR. E. LYNN PAINTER, of the 4th district
who was member of the last House of Dele
gates, had lengthy letter in the Baltimore
Herald few days ago, pointing ont the neces-
sity for primary election law for Baltimore
county. Mr.. Painter knows exactly the con-
dition of affairs as it exists in this county con-
corning the mode of holding Democratic pri-
mary meetings, and he sees the necessity of a
law that will put an end to the purchase and
sale of votes on these occasions. THE UNION
heartily concurs in what he says and we be-
lieve if the Republicans elect their legislative
ticket this fall such law as they now have in
Baltimore city, and which Mr.. Painter endeav-
ored to have extended to this county two years
ago, will surely be passed. He charges Mr..
Talbot with having Baltimore county ex-
emp ted from the provisions of this law at the
last session.

IN HIS speech at Rockland last Saturday
night Mr.. John s. Ensor said 1.-THE nomi.
nees of the Republican party, particularly
those for Senator and House of Delegates, are
pledged to do all in their power to restore to
the people of this State that admirable election
system under which, from 1895 to 1900, they
had and exercised the right to vote and to have
their votes counted and canvassed as they had
cast them, and to supplement this system by
the enactment of the Corrupt Practices act as
drafted by the Baltimore Reform League,
twice rejected by the Democratic party" 1t is
certain that by eecting the Democrats no re-
lief can be expected. If the people look for
free and fair elections hereafter they must vote
the Republican ticket.
