TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.

From present indications Il fierce
fight will soon break out in the Dem
ocratic camp among the candidates
for the position of United States Sen
ator. Until recently Governor Smith
appeared to have everything his own
way. Now there is widespread OppO-
sitiOn to him among the Democratic
masses. Not only is this the case in
large number of the counties of the
State but in every part of Baltimore
there is vigorous and outspoken OPP
position to him. The thought that
Senator German made an agreement
with Governor Smith that he should
receive the Senatorship in return for
calling the extra session of 1901 has
taken deep root in the minds of the
people and has created great hostility
to the fultillment of the corrupt bar
gain.
Those Democrats who believe in
honest methods and fair dealing do
not propose to have their rights
usurped byany such underhand work,
and for this reason are firmly of the
opinion that candidates for the Leg
islature should be required to give an
open expression as to who they will
vote for for United States Senator be-
fore they can expect to have their
support.
There are many Democrats through
out the State as well as in Baltimore
City who do not hesitate to say that
legislative ticket in favor of the
election of Governor Smith to the
United States Senate will carry with
it the defeat of the Democratic party
in the State election. Such a prOmi
nent Democrat as Ex-Governor Brown
is outspoken in his opposition to the
candidacy of Governor Smith and il
is said that he will use his efforts anG
influence to defeat the corrupt politi
cal deal made by Senator GormaI
and Governor Smith in calling al
extra session of the Legislature tC
emasculate the election law so as tt
have each other elected to the Senate

Obituary.

Died, at her home in Deer Park on
May 30, 1908, Mary Ellen Specht, aged
80 years, months and 2 days, and
was buried at Flatwoods cemetery
after funeral services at the chapel at
McHenry by Rev. Henry E. Friend,
of the NJ E. church lin the absence of
her pastor of the Lutheran church,
Rev. +. Manages from the text Reve-
lations 22nd chapter, 3, 4, % verses.
Mrs. Specht leaves a bereaved hus-
band and an only daughter of Is sum
mers, she being the only child born
Of this union, and father, of near
McHenry, ex-Treasurer Mahlon Glot-
felty, and a grandfather on her moth
er's side, ur. Eli Mcmillan, of Acct
dent, and several half-brothers and
sisters and other relatives in and
around McHenry and Accident.
Mrs. Specht was left motherless at
a tender age and was taken by her
grandparents, the late William Glot-
felty and wife, of Cherry Tree Mead
ows, now the home of the well known
farmer, Mr. Nimrod Glotfelty. At
the age of II years she was united in
holy wedlock to her surviving hus-
band, the popular and well known
merchant of this place, in 1886, and
lived at McHenry some two years,
when they moved here in 1889.
The writer remembers well this fair
rosy checked child wife when she
fist came to Deer Park, where she
soon made friends with both old and
young 10y her unassuming manners
and genial child-like ways.
Having been raised on a farm and
fond of outdoor life, she was fond of
horses and was an expert rider and
driver and kept none but the best of
horses. And | think now as | pen
this feeble tribute to her memory that
| hear her gay laughter as she dashes
off on her favorite charger either
to their farm or for recreation. Her
sympathetic nature went out to all
dumb animals and none were left to
suffer if they came under her notice.

MRS. LLOYD LOWNDES.

Mr.. Paul Winchester, an authority
on Maryland politics, has written an
interesting article on "WOmen's Part
in Maryland Politics, - which appear
ed in last Sundays Baltimore Heg0ld.
Mr.. Winchester has the following to
say of Mrs. Lloyd Lowndes, of Cum
berland:
Like Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Lowudes is
best known for her great success as
administrator of the social features of
her distinguished husbands career as
Governor of Maryland. And it is no
reflection on the ability and capacity
of Governor LOwndes to say that his
administration owed its great pop
ularity in no small degree to his wife.
Social popularity and ability to
manage the social end of a state add
ministration, to have great influence
on political affairs, and III this impOr-
tant particular Mrs. Lowndes can
easily be ranked as one of the most
potent factors in the career of the
only republican who has been Cover
nor of Maryland during the past gen
Grafton. She has the knowledge and
ldCl IltCGSSdIy W tJCDlS IlcI W lilCCb
and entertain all sorts and conditions
of men and women, and no one ever
left her presence without admiration
for her. At Annapolis and at her own
hospitable home in Cum berland she
has been accustomed to meet people
of all ranks of life and all kinds of
manners, and she has charmed all.
Like Mrs. Jackson, she knows how to
be agreeable without effort; she has
no pronounced manners, but good
manners, and the politicians of both
parties, high and low, rich and poor,
all united in saying, when she left An
napolis she was without fault, so far
as her treatment of them had been CON
cerned. During her term in the man
sion more people were entertained
than eyer before in its histOry-in
fact, there was one constant round of
entertainments. and nothing eyer
occurred to jar the perfection and har-
mOny of any one of them. If this dis
tinguished lady should be called to
preside over the first house in the
state once more, and such an event is
not possible, there will be general
rejoicing in all parts of the ancient
town as well as throughout the state.

ming or losing, compOsure marks his
manner.
But this talk is anything but com
plimentary to the democratic party. 1t
has been nineteen years since Mr..
Cleveland was first nominated for the
presidency. The country in that
time has achieved much. 1t has met
several highly important issues and
changed the map of the world. 1t is
today in more prosperous state than
ever before in its history. And yet,
if we may believe Mr.. Cleveland's adj
mirers, there has been no growth in
his party. 1t is helpless except under
his leadership. He alone has the
strength to pilot it to victory. Mr..
Bryan, we are told, will not do at all.
Mr.. Hill is sneered at. Mr.. German is
good tactician, but a straddler on
principles. A certain polite gossip
plays around the names of Mr.. Olney
and Judge Parker. But Mr.. Cleve-
lttllu lS Ult lOl OllC
Help us, Grover, or we perish! is the
cry.
This is what rankles in the bosom
of many of the nti-Clevelandites.
They do not object to paying him a
compliment or two. They will agree
that he has some strong and good
points, and that while in the White
House he did some good things, but
they reject with indignationthe claim
that he is head and shoulders above
his fellows; that he is better than his
party; that he is the only man with
whom the party can win; and all OF
that eulogy which the Clevelandites
pronounce so easily. In private con
versation they do not hesitate to say
indeed, that if the democratic party
in nineteen years has produced but
one man who can lead it to victory
the day has not arrived when it should
be returned to power.

NOT COMPLIMENTARY TO THE DEMOC
RACY

The third-tern talk is very compli-
mentary to Mr.. Cleveland, and it
must give him good deal of pleasure.
He has been the subject of 50 much
dispraise by democrats for the past
seven or eight years that to have some
of these men turn to him now and
pledge him their support for "a fourth
presidential nomination cannot but
warm the cookies Of his heart. He is
not likely, however, to show his feel
ing unduly. He is not, in any circum-
stances, demonstrative man. Those
who write to him viii get prompt re-
plies to their letters, while those who
meet face to face and bring up the
subject will be rewarded by hand
clasp and something approaching
atfability. He plays the game with
marked self-command. Whether Win

see, judging both from the past and

am naturally gratified at the warm
assurances Of support which reach me
fl n persons all over the State, but |
am not III a position to say Just what
my course will be, except to repeat

for the nomination"
Governor Lowndes, while the chief
executive of this State, gave the Com
mOnwealth of Maryland the best and
cleanest administration of public af-
fairs she ever enjoyed and his return
to the Office would be hailed with de
light by all the people, especially
those of Western Maryland. His re
cord is clean. He is a business man
of ability and the highest dignity,
popular with the masses and is not in
any manner allied with any man or
set of men politically except as mem
Der of the great Republican party.

MR.. WILLIAMS OF HARTFORD.
District No. II.

THE prominence which has been Civ
en- to the idea of the Republicans NOM
mating Mr.. Stevenson Archer Will
Jams, of Hartford county, for Cover
nor, is very gratifying" comments an
editorial writer in the Baltimore EOen-
ing Ne1CS. 1.-The prospect of contest
for the nomination between so good a
man as Mr.. Williams on the one hand
LOwndes on the other is one which
can be faced with great equanimtty by
the public. With a choice like this
before them, there would be clear
outlook for the citizens of MARYLAND
that, in the event of Republican sue
cess, the excellent record of the Repub-
licans in state administration would
be maintained or improved upon.
While it is far too early at the present
timefOr a newspaper to consider either
the personal or the political issues of
the fall camdaign, it is not too early
to take an interest in the factors that
are making for the determination of
the character of the contest. And
anything that tends to elevate the
standard all along the line is of pecu-
liar interest and Importance.
THAT the candidacy of Mr.. Will
liams for the gubernatOrial nomina-
ton would be such a thing we feel
thoroughly assured If this is being
pushed by the Republican city organi-
cation, it is because that organization
is seeking to place Mr.. Williams
strength behind its weakness. Mr..
Williams, we may feel quite certain,
will make no terms with the Organiza-
ton, but will stand entirely on his own
ground. 1t will have to take him as
he is, with no promises, ties, or obi
cations of any kind. The foundation
of Mr.. Williams chances for the nom
ination-supposing that he desires to
have it's not the favor of any pOliti-
clan or any clique, but his public rep
utatiOn and his personal qualities.
He is one of the men that have done
most to give the Republican party
strength and standing in this state.
He was in the forefront of the good
work done by the party while in con-
troll of the state government, and since
it has again been in the minority he
has been one of its maninstays in re-
sisting evil purposes on the part of
the opposite party. Aside from the
merits of his public services, he has
the strength that goes with being a
representative Marylander of the best
sort. While belonging to a rural COM
munity, he is man of breadth and
progressiveness, and has an under
standing of the rights and the needs
of Maryland's chief city. 1t is men
like Mr.. Williams that we ought to
have at the front. Their activity in
public life is the kind of thing that
makes. both for political purity and
for governmental progressive"

State are Gecidly less bright than they
were "a year ago. We are forced to
this conclusion by the attitude of Ger
tain men who claim to be Democrats,
but who, we fear, are only Democrats
as long as they can use the party for
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT from
principle. 1t is IA matter Of fact that
the Democrats of this State who have
supported the ticket for many a hard
fought campaign in years past are
tired of submitting to the claims
and leadership of such people. The
OJSercer was the first TO sound the
warming in this county several weeks
since, that the party is wearied of sub
mission to incapable leadership which
knows nothing but defeat To be
more explicit, we insist that there
should be a complete revolution in the
State leadership.
Mr.. Murray Vandiver's day as clair
man of the State Central Committee
should come to a conclusion now if we
expect to win in the fall campaign. = 3 s.

Governor Smiths ambitions for Sena-
tOrial hOnOrs rs much as for the con
tinuance of Nandiver as chairman of

THE. TARIFF SMA4SHERS.


Puryeses Disasssed by the Recent
Conclave af rarin Reformers.
An antitariff rowwow was held In
New York city the other evening, and
some Of the big stars in the free trade
armament were out shining in all their
glory. There were Bob-Up-S -Serenely
Josiah Quincy Of Bostontown, Anti
prosperity Henry w. Lamb, head of
the New England Free Trade league;
New York's Own Edward NJ. Shepard
and Free Trade or Bust John De Witt
Warner and many others who desire
return Of the souphouse regime Of the
Cleveland hard times. The Hon. Grover
Panic Cleveland had gone duck hunt
1ng in the south, or he, too, would have
graced the gathering by his presence.
Mr.. Shepard started the speechmak-
ing. and about the only wise thing that
he said was to the effect that the
masses are not concerned with the free
trade cause" There can be no disput.
ing this assertion. The people Of the
country are very much concerned, how
ever, in protection and prosperity just
now We are greatly surprised that Mr..
Shepard should be SO frank about the
matter.
Then Mr.. Quincy got the floor and
stated another truth, that there was
no hope Of free trade coming from the
Republican party and that free traders
must look to the Democracy to adopt
the system if it is ever inaugurated in
the United States. OF course this can
not be gainsaid. In Democracy surely
lies the only hope of the free trade
band. Mr.. Quincy then went on to ex-
patiate about the "glories" of free
trade and concluded with the remark
able statement that tariff reform
might have to wait until the tide Of
prosperity had turned and when the
people had something else to think
about besides money making. We say
this is a remarkable statement, not be-
cause of its truth, but because free
trader would be even audacious enough
to intimate that the tariff smashers
wanted our present prosperity to van
ish so. that they could hope for sue
cessful result of their propaganda.
This assertion of MI Quincy fully re-
yeals the danger Of free trade and
stamps its adherents as unsafe politi-
cal economists.
Mr.. Warner concluded the speech
making by expressing an entire lack
of sympathy with the "lukewarm SEN
timents" of the other speakers. Tariff
reform wasn't strong enough for him;
he was for out and out free trade. He
would smash the present tariff system,
which is giving us such great prosper
ity, to smithereens and launch upon
the country the pure and undefiled sys-
TEN of free trade and all its industrial
and financial woe.
So here we learn the purpose of the
free traders. While they frankly ad-
NIT that people are too busy now to
consider free trade doctrines, still they
propose to attempt to inaugurate their
policy even If it destroys business con-
ditions to do so. Really, isn't 1t won
derful spectacle! We do not believe
that the American people want any OF
it.-Schenectady On. " Union.
