telegram OF the nominee Judge
Parker. 1t has been said that no
one knew Judge Parker. Now the
world is acquainted with his merit.
As the platform was silent on the
money question, he feared that his
position might be misunderstood.
In order that the convention, i'll case
it did not agree with his views, would
have an opportunity to make
another choice, he notified one of its
members OF his position. There was
no attempt to straddle, and he chose
the most opportune time to allow
correction to be made i'll case his
views were not to be accepted as
being democratic. While for the i'll
slant the assemblage was staggered
by this bold act, yet sccond-thought
showed that no more manly Il step
could have been taken. Yet it re-
quired nerve at this supreme moment,
when in grasp was the nomination
Of leadership from the greatest aggrc-
CATION on earth, to calmly take Il
stand so that future movements
might not be misunderstood. TO
many minds this stand seemed a.
most certain political humiliation.
But the democratic party can with
pride point to its leader and say that
in the supreme moment of his politi-
cal life he had the courage to show
his political convictions. The world
now knows how his action has been
received. 1t would require volumes to
record the ringing applause that is
re-echoed all over this country.
Thus indeed has democracy a leader.
The conservative element of the party
was in the ascendency at St. Louis,
and with decisive majorities gave
notice that no more experiments
would be tried and that hereafter the
safe old moorings would be our posi-
ton. Democracy means the greatest
good for the greatest number. Oar
party has seen the rise and fall of
countless oppositions. 1t has been
defeated time after time only in the
end to rise up and render hors de
combat its strongest opponents.
The time is coming when the republic
can party will be no more. Perhaps
the action at st. Louis last week is
the first step. Certainly it means
victory at this falls election, and let
us hope will mark the beginning of
the end of a party that has long out
lived its questionable usefulness, and
now exists merely from the fact that
its strongest attribute is the tenaci-
ty of its members to hold together,
while the democrats stand divided
on issues often of minor nature.
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1904-07-15

As forecast in our last issue, the
democratic convention named Alton
B. Parker as it's candidate. The
choice was made on the first ballot
and afterwards declared unanimous.
His running mate is Henry G. Davis
of West Virginia. The platform on
which the campaign will be made is
satisfactory to every element of the
party. When opportunity offers we
will publish the same in full.
This is the result of one most
dramatic national conventions of
any party that has ever been held.
Even during the most turbulent
period of the history of our country,
the nominating bodies of the different
political organizations never Wit
messed such scenes as were enacted in
ST. Louis. From beginning to end
each moment was theatrical and
bore testimony of the struggle of the
political giants of the country. In
the first place, the delegates num-
bered almost every prominent man
in public life whose political leanings
are towards our side. The displays
of oratory will never be excclled, and
fortunate indeed were those who
were privileged to even be auditors.
And best of all harmony prevailed.
Out of the millions of democrats who
were represented i'll that convention,
not a single delegate indicated a dis
position to bolt the ticket, and on
the contrary with one accord fealty
to the result was voluntarily pledged.
Easily the leader Of men was Viii
liam jennings Bryan. What pity
his teachings are not acceptable to
the people of this country. After
hearing him no one can question his
sincerity and while he was voted
down on every proposition except
his tariff plank, which was reason
able, and the omission of the gold
plank from the platform, which his
associates regarded as closed Incl
dent to which it was not necessary
to make special reference, yet no one
could fail to respect his gallant fight.
To his credit it can be truthfully said
that at no time did he show the
slightest inclination to lead the party
to discord. 1t is true that his mag
n6cent powers of oratory were di-
rected in the most forceful manner
to bring votes i'll support Of his con-
victions, but at no time did he at
tempt to stem the ordinary and
natural course of events. While we
feel that his judgment is wrong no
one can hel Up admiring the man. In
his way he is today the greatest
living American.
In this convention, the most
string incident was the now famous
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1904-07-15

From this day forward let every
Democrat make Parker, Davis and
victory his battle-cry. 1t is grand
fight nobly and honorably begun.
The convention did its work we'll. 1t
now rests with the voters and they
must meet the responsibility in the
same manner as did their representa-
tives at st. Louis.

RESTRICTED SUFFRAGE.

While the campaign of 1905 is yet
a good ways off, it is none too soon
for the voters to commence to con-
slider the primary contest which in
wolves far more than any question of
party policy. We allude to the Con-
stitutional amendment restricting
the right of franchise, and which we
are frank to sayis aimed to as far as
possible prevent the negro from vot-
ing. Perhaps this subject would not
have been preached thus early had
not the Republican convention at
Chicago seen fit to force the issue Ill
this campaign. AS the white people
of Maryland now find themselves
they must twice face the issue two
years i'll succession, and it is needless
to say that a victory this fall means
next years contest more than half
won.
The Baltimore supervisors of cleo
ton have started the preliminary
skirmish in the recent rejection of ne
groes whose names were offered as
judges and clerks. Perhaps it is not
we'll known that it has been the re-
cent custom in some precincts to have
both colors represented i'll the list of
officials. Hard as this is to conceive,
such has been the case in Democratic
Baltimore, and under a governor of
the same political faith. The reason
is because of the present bipartisan
election law which practically allows
each party to make its own appoint
ments. The same condition could
exist in Hartford county, but to their
credit we say that our local Republi-
can brethren are too broad-minded
to take such sweeping action. How
ever, Baltimore, not so we'll favored,
has been thus afflicted, and the final
result will probably not alter mat
tiers. But this action will no longer
be permitted without protest. One
of the supervisors, Mr.. FENCE, who
by the way is the personal represen-
tative of Governor Warfeld, has filed
aprotest against every negro named.
As the negro will win in the end,
Mr.. Fcnge has decided to abandon
the fight. Mr.. Fenge i'll making
this objection is carrying out the
personal views of Mr.. Wartield, who
last fall won his fight on a platform
negro domination. His
are indeed glad to have
him thus speak out, for his stand last
winter at Annapolis has been mis-
construed. AS we understand his
position, the Governor had personal
views only as to the means of dis
reimbursement, the question as to
the final result never entering his
mind. Certainly man of his sense
of honor could not forget his plat
form and pledges. Inproof this Bal
timore incident furnishes abundant
evidence.
With united party, the white peo-
pie can always carry this State.
The Republican platform, Roosevelt
and his Africo proclivities all force
the race issue to the front. We will
carry the State this fall and adopt
the Constitutional amendment in
1905.

PARKER, DAVIS AND VICTORY.

Atlast the different elements of our
great party are together. At st.
Louis every difference was healed,
and the delegates left for home proud
of their good work which will mean
so much for their country. Never be-
fore was a greater responsibility
placed upon any body of men; and
how we'll they met the situation.
The nomination of Judge Parker was
the only logical outcome, and our
representatives are to be congratu-
lated in being broad-minded enough
to see things as they actually exist
ed. 1t was indeed hard to turn
down the ambitions of personal
friends. Almost every state could
have named favorite son if only
self was the moving factor. Instead,
however, the good of the country sug-
gested our nominee, for it is a GER
tlinty that he can more nearly unite
every ism than any other man.
Without any political past except
the spotless reputation of an honor
able career on the bench of the high
est tribunal in his state, he comes be-
fore the people clean-handed AND I'M
biased by any personal contact with
the political world. He knows no
faction or wing and is accustomed to
look at all sides of every question.
With these anteccdcnts he cannot be
otherwise than Il President of the
whole people instead Of Il representa-
tive of the money interests such us
we now have. Reared on farm and
accustomed to Il moderate income,
Judge Parker knows full we'll the
trials and tribulations Of the farmers
and others who are compelled to live
on modest means. By the sweat of
his brow he earned his first money,
and experience has taught him the
true worth Of n dollar and the effort
required TO get it. Well can we I'M
derstand that he cannot approve of
Il deprecated currency such as the
Republicans have been trying to foist
on our party rs one of our idiocies.
But his stand at the critical moment
settled the question for all time and
currency will not be an issue.
1t is with pride that we place the
names of Parker and Davis at the
head of our editorial columns. While
perhaps we have felt sanguine in the
past, that feeling at present is now
one of certainty. OF course no hui
man being can with absolute certain
tv say how each state will go. Suf-
flee it is for country newspaper to
look we'll to home, and when we do
every doubt asto Maryland's Democ-
racy vanisIes. A majority of the
votes will he cast for our nominees
and our good old State will be
brought back to the Democratic col
umns from which she has swaycd for
the past two Presidential campaigns.

VITRIFIED BRICK
BETTER THIN STONE
Supervising Architect Lee UIIery Ex-
presses His View on the Question
of a Foundation for the New
School Building.

(Which do I think is the better as
a foundation material for the new pub
lie school building, vitrified brick or
stone? l am unqualifiedly in favor of
the brick. We are using it exclusively
as a foundation material for all the
new federal buildings of the country"
This was the dictum of Lee Ullery, of
Denver, supervisor of federal buildings
when approached today, before leav-
ing, on the subject Of what had best
be used as a foundation material for
the proposed new school building
here When rough stone is used for
the foundation-rubble, we call it
the strain of the edifice comes on the
mortar and the building is weak, while
brick gives an even, solid foundation.
The brick we use for the foundations
of federal buildings now is not nearly
so hard as the brick manufactured at
the penitentiary here, but it has been
found perfectly satisfactory. My plan
for the foundation of the new school
building here would be to put in Wit
rified brick foundation below line, run

FRISCO FAST TRAIN
WRECKED THIS MORNING
Engine and Four Cars Left the Tracks
and Several Persons Were Sc
- riousIy Injured.

Vinitia, l. T., Aug. 4.-The Meteor
fast passenger train on the st. Louis
and San Francisco Railroad, the 'Fris
co system, from Dallas and Fort Worth
for st. Louis, was derailed near here
today. The engine, baggage and mail
car and two chair cars left the tracks
Several persons were injured, but no
one was killed.
Among the injured were: Mrs. Jas.
M. Drake, postmistress at Salina, Tex
as, badly; seven-year-old son of w. R.
Myser, Fort Worth, badly; A. G. Lever
ite, Stephenville, Texas; ]. P. McCas-
kill, Abbott, Texas; P. R. Payne, Nc
Kinley, Texas; Miss Annie Buford,
Kerrv:lle, 1eXa3; ls..cda Cuntiff and
Anna Cuntiff, Anna, Texas; Mrs. l. B.
Dillow, Mckinley. Texas The train
was running thirty-five miles an hour,
when, for some reason, the tender be-
came uncoupled from the engine and
turned half way around, crossing the
track, the cars following, with excep-
tion Of the Pullman sleeper.
Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1904-08-04

a granite belt course, eight to twelve
inches above that, and then put on the
soft bricks. This would give per-
fectly solid base and look well.
Speaking of stone foundations, the
federal building here is sample of
their lack of durability and strength.
That was put L, on rubble founda-
ton. The strain was too great for it
and some time ago one side of it sank,
I understand, although this weakness
has been remedied. If that building
had been put on vitrified brick foun-
dation, which would have given it an
even, strong foundation, that accident
would never have happened. Another
thing in favor of using the bricl. in
this country is that the earth and the
water are often charged with alkali.
The vitrified brick is almost impervi-
Gus to water as so much glass, and
consequently would not be affected by
the alkali, while stone might be.
"It seems that the argument that the
vitrified brick would detract from the
appearance of the new school build
ing has been advanced, but the gran
ite belt course and stone copings and
sills at windows and doors, would ef-
face that difficulty. We used the hard
bricks as foundation for the new
mint in Denver, which has just been
completed, and it is generally con-
ceded to be one of the handsomest
buildings of its kind in the entire
West" ss~N
