Stole March on Leaders.

1t was announced in Richmond on
Thursday night that meeting of the
republican district committee had been
duly held and July % fixed as the date
to nominate candidate for Congress.
Yesterday the statement was made that
the anti-admiuistration people took adj
vantage of the absence in Chicago Of the
administration leaders, reorganized the
committee, putting on none but their
own men, and transacted the business ac-
cording to their own ideas. The few ad-
ministration people there say that when
the leaders get back from Chicago there
will be another meeting, in which the
"antis" will not figure. A fight which
has been in progress off and on for year
is thus resumed. The national organiza-
ton has not seen fit so far to take any
hand in it, since there is no benefit to
be gained in that section, no matter
which faction of the party is in power.

Roosevelt at the polls in the State oil
MARYLAND at the election in November
next before the Chicago convention
met. Any doubts that prevailed last
month have been dispelled by the SUI

Thus early, even before the delegates
had returned home, the independent

The Baltimore Sun says;
The Democrats claim that the threat oil
reducing the representation OF the South
in return for the disfranchisement OF the
negro will make Maryland solidly dem
ocratic State next fall. They are, indeed,
inclined to accept the view expressed by
Mr.. Isaac Lobe Straus to regard 1t as
a call to arms. They are perfectly will
ing to discuss it, if the Republicans are
not.
Discuss it Yes, it is being discussed
now. The St. Louis convention will
handle it. Senator Lodge, the writer OF
the republican PLATFORM was also the
author and inspirer of the infamous force
bill of1S9O-9I. Ex-President Harrison
stood as sponsor for the measure, and
Roosevelt is both godfather and god
mother for its new birth in the Chicago
platform. The sectionalsm of the grand
old party under the leadership of its
strenuous head should disgust every
white man in the South, not excepting
the "gushers."

UNDER THE protection Orwell devised
game laws deer have become remarkably
numerous in some of the Oldest ard
most thickly settled States, and in vari-
oas places they have become unusually
tame. In too many cases, however,
dogs have harried and Killed them. The
day should speedy come when the num-
Der of vicious, worthless dogs will be
greatly diminished in this country.
Deer we're once plentiful in Virginia,
but few are to be seen here now. A
more rigid law for their protection
should be enacted and enforced, if not, in
a short time this species of game will
entirely disappear from the State.

Mr.. Williams's Views.

Hon. John Sharp Villa ms, the min
ority leader in the House of Represen-
tatives, has this to say concerning the
negro plank in the republican platform:
"Giye the republicans rope enough and
they will hang themselves. They have
assumed the offensive. Let them make
themselves as offensive as they choose.
There is no use in our taking hand,
except in self-defense, to protect our
rights under the constitution and to pre-
serve our civilization. The republicans
have really put themselves on the de-
fensiye by assuming the offensive"

A FLOCK OF ANGELS has been seen in
Kentucky. John w. Hurt and James
Mitchell, both colored, living near
Owingville, aver they saw the celestial
visitors, and, according to their state
ments, they rose from wheat field on
MitchelPs farm and scared gracefully
and majestically up to the clouds. The
backs of the angels are represented as
of a snowy white and their breasts of
FURNISHED gold The feathers of their
wings were a glistening black, with
snowy tips, and about their heads were
hoods OF beautiful blue. The angels
rose slowly and without noise or song
or movement of their outspread wings,
and assembled vertically until they were
lost in the hazy clouds overhead. An
gels visits are few and far between, even
when they come singly, but when they
appear in hocks, and in Kentucky, too,
it is wonderful. The dispatch announc-
ing the above startling occurrence adds
the following, which is significant:
There is p stump in MitchelPs wheat
field on which one may place quarter,
depart for fifteen minutes, then return
to find a jug of "Kaintucky dew"
We have often heard of people seeing
specimens of the ophidian creation on
certain occasions, but "Kaintucky dew"
seems to produce more pleasant dreams.

A Solid South.

Baltimore, June "a. - Democratic
leaders of Maryland see a boost for
their party in the plank of the republic
can national platform which deals with
representation in Congress from south
ern States that pass negro disfranchise-
ment laws. Many of the party men and
advocates of State rights say that the
plank is "a drum beat to arms" The
more conservative declare that the plank
makes the race issue predominating one
in the South, and that it insures to the
democratic nominee a rock ribbed solid
South again. Governor Warfield, who
was elected on promises to disfranchise
the negroes John p Poe, who drew the
bill providing for such purpose, which
the Governor would not sign, and At
torney General W. s. Bryan, who never
missed an opportunity to criticise the
bill, are agreed that the plank loses
Maryland and all the South for the re-
publicans. They and dozen other lead
ers declare the race issue will be the
leading one of the campaign south OF
Mason and Dixon's line.

cisl centers throughout the United States
indicate greater activity in general BUSH
ness, especially at the southwest, where
most to branches of dry goods, with very
merchants are ordering liberal sup
plies of new goods. This applies to
good demand for men and womens ap-
parel in light weight garments. Whole

port heavy buying for fall delivery with
clothing, dry goous and shoes in best
demand. This exhibit comes at an OPP
perfume time, when signs of commercial

thousands of men have been dropped
from the pay rolls of the railroad COM
