GORMAN MAY ATTEND
ANNAPOLIS CONFERENCE
Expected to Spur Legisla-
tors to Action.
NEGRO SUFFRAGE INVOLVED
Wishes Purposed Disfranchisement to
Be Pushed Through in Time for
National Elections.

BALTIMORE, Jan. Sunless he
changes his plans between now and
Tuesday night, Senator German himself
will be IN Annapolis at the time Of the
conference of the Democratic members
of the Legislature. who have been asked
TO gather at $50 o'clock on that night
in the hall of the house Of delegates
for the purpose of discussing the amend
ments 10 the constitution restricting the
suffrage and to select a person TO be
voted for for the Office of State treas
urer
Mr.. Germans determination TO go to
Annapolis at this time is said to be
entirely due to his deep interest in the
legislation to be adopted changing the
constitution 50 as TO take away the
right OF the negro to vote in Maryland.
and his purpose 10 see that there are no
halfway measures about fl. but that
the pledges of the party on this line are
carried out promptly and effectively.
The Senator is now said TO be strongly
in favor OF the plan proposed and amend
ment drafted by John p. Poe, which pro-
vides for a constitutional convention ana
the accomplishment Of the whole object
OF the party leaders before the time
for the next election rolls around. The
chief reason why this proposition APP
peals 10 Mr.. German, ii is said, is be-
cause the proposed legislation will be-
come operative in time for the national
contest next November.
Should the Legislature merely adopt
a constitutional amendment without pro-
viding for a convention il could not be-
come effective until 1906. and in the
meantime there would be the serious
danger Of the Democrats being swept
from power and also of the amendment
itself being defeated by popular vote
Those who favor the Poe plan say that
II is the only real remedy for the situa-
ton and that IT will be adopted by the
legislature

Mr.. Williams spoke but a few words
more and concluded his address greatly

a soft, white roll of linen, his voice was
worn to a frazzle. and could not he

and thick from different parts of tbe
hall. Cheers mingled with the calls
and it was fully a minute before the
voice of the clerk was able to rise
above the tumult. Mr.. Bryan remained
quietly in his seat during the demon
stration made by his friends and gave
no outward sign of his recognition of
the applause that had greeted his
name.
Delegate Powers of Michigan was
recognized by Chairman Williams to
return the thanks of the convention to

and made n brief speech of acknowI-

even by those who have heretofore de-
clined to be convinced. The nomina-
tion of Judge Parker for President is
assured beyond possibility of doubt.
LEADERS COME IN UNNOTICED.
The arrival of dignitaries attracted
comparatively little attention. David

egation, and other boomers of Parker,
Tammany leader Murphy, Bryan, Dem
ocratic members of the Senate, and
many others prominent in national af-
fairs and conspicuous before the coun-

Many persons of distinction were
given places on the platform. Among
the distinguished visitors were Mrs.
Charles Mercer Hale daughter of Judge
Parker; Mrs. Daniel Manning, Circuit
Attorney Folk of st. Louis and District
Attorney Jerome of New York; former
Senator Reagan, the only surviving
member of the Jefferson Davis Cabinet
Senator Bacon of Georgia and Senator

Then he stated that he had heard
that Dewey, Schley and Miles were
Democrats;N that a Republican ad-
ministration had snubbed the first,
tried to disgrace the second and in
suited the third. and the convention
again broke out into shouts and ap-
plause. BY this time Mr.. Williams
voice was failing. 1t grew weaker and
he was heard with difficulty, even by
those near the platform.
Mr. Williams flow of oratory was
uninterrupted for some time. A re-
sponse of applause followed his de-
nunciation of the Republican claims
of prosperity because of the tariff.

Cries of Louder" were again
heard in various parts of the hall.
Il wish l had the lungs to speak
louder, but 1 cannot" Mr.. Williams
answered
what did you say?" came a voice
from the gallery.
SO rapidly did the noise increase
that Mr.. Williams began to address
himself directly to the persons on the
platform. This brought forth from
the galleries loud cries of Time" and

Mr.. Williams. with all the voice he
had left, turned to the audience and
began to talk upon the race question.
