POLITICS IN MARYLAND.

Secre tary Bonaparte brings home
to the people of Maryland in startling
manner the true significance of the
Poe amendment when he declares
that if passed it will disfranchise
more white men thannegroes.-Pitts-
burg Dispatch.
As was anticipated the Democrats
Of Maryland, in state convention,
overwhelmingly Endorsed the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution
imposing qualifications on suffrage,
and the contest for the elimination OF
a large percentage Of Maryland's ne
gro vote promises to be decidedly
spirited. An added interest arises
from the fact that, unlike similar
moves i'll other southern states, the
Democrats are not united on the
question in Marylaud.-Columbia Is.
O. State.
We do not recall ia American pc
litical history precedent for the re-
markable proposition made by Seua-
tor German to his party convention
in Maryland. 1t was in the nature
of a promise with threat as al al
tentative. The veteran
Democrat, William Pinckney White,
refused to attend the German con
vention and will denounce the dis
franchisement scheme. Senator Ray
ner is silent, though earnestly solicit
ed to help German. Gov. Warfield
is in open opposition to the amend
ment, and other men of influence in
the Democratic party take the same
attitude.-New York Times.
Republicans in the north and in
deed, all lovers of the square deal in
politics whether Republicans or Dem
Ocrats, should be concerned over the
frantic efforts of the German Democ-
racY in Maryland to regain control of
that now doubtful state by the com
mission Of crime against popular
sovereignty through the disfranchise-
ment of the negro vote The color
question does not enter the discus
sion of the Poe amendment in the
state of Maryland. Il is a purely po-
litical issue, and, more than that, an
issue of political leadership within
the Democratic party.-Lewiston

j. s. SENATOR ISID0R
q RAYNER SPEAKS OUT.
Suffrage Amendment Denounced In
SCathing Terms.
GAUNTLET is THROWN DOWN
Regarded AS a Political Declaration
OF War-.Stand With the Governor
And Attorney General.

In a ringing letter to his fellow
Democrats, Senator Isidore Rayner
announced yesterday his opposition
to the proposed suffrage amendment
to the Constitution.
With tremendous fire and force he
denounces the measure and arraigns
the party managers Tor what be de-
clares to be scheme that was con
ceived in fraud and which it is pro-
posed to execute in iniQuitY. Solemn
ly protesting against the amendment
as wholly bad and denying the organ
ization leaders to cast him out of the
party because Of his refusal to sup
port it, he scatLingly dissects the
amendment and with vehemence de-
clares:
1.-THE man does not live who can
seal my lips on this issue"
Without directly mentioning the
name OF Senator German, The makes
an unmistakable attack upon him as
the real force back of the amendment
and vigorously asserts that its pur-
pose is to perpetuate the waning for
tunes of a political dynasty. While
stating that in the Democratic Or
ganization are many of his personal
friends, he declares himself to be 1.-THE
mortal foe of its system and meth
ods," and his utterances are regarded
as declaration of war against the
other Senator from Maryland.
Il am, writes Mr.. Rayner, utterly
opposed to this amendment, with the
strongest convictions of my life
against the principles that it EN-
bodies, and l believe that its adoption
would bind the chains of political
Fsslayery around this State, would
id the death-kneH of our political

and would be as great calamity as
could possibly be inflicted upon our
people.
This is my deliberate Judgment
for which no one else is in the slight

prompting of my heart, the dictate Of
my conscience and the result of as
patient investigation as l have ever

TRAIN HELD
Up IN OAKLAND.
Engineer Was Arrested for Exceeding
the Speed Limi! and
TRAIN DELAYED HALF AN HOUR.
The Trial will Take Place on Satur-
day Before Justice Gonder-Po-
Iiceman Who Made Arrest Is In
Turn Arrested for Assault.

An ordinance, passed number Of
years ago bv the Mayor and Town
Council of Oakland, regulating the
speed of railroad trains passing
through the town to ten miles an
hour, has been violated hundreds of
times, but on two occasions only have
the officers of the law seen fit to en-
force the law-ouce many wears ago
when passenger train No. 3 was held
until the engineer could be given
hearing and was found guilty, and
again on last Thursday night when
Engineer William Menifee, of train
No. T, the New York and Chicago ex-
press, was arrested and taken before
Justice Gender on the charge Of hay
ing violated the ordinance by enter
ing the town at a speed exceeding
ten miles an hour. The arrest was
made by Dominick Broderick, who
was on duty that night as a substitute
officer npIace of Policeman Sweeney.
When the train stopped at the sta
ton the engineer climbed from his
cab, so he related to the writer, ana
was busy oiIing the machinery, when
he was approached by Broderick, and
told that,he was under arrest and was
requested by the officer to accompany
him to the Police Magistrate. The
engineer asked time in which to COM
plete olling the engine and make a
report of the state of affairs to the
conductor in charge, but this the Off
Ger refused to grant and drawing a
revolver in one hand and a blackjack
in the other succeeded by threaten
ing the engineer to make him accom-
pany him to the residence of Justice
Gender who was in bed and asleep.
The Magistrate was aroused and the
case explained to him when he sum
marily dismissed the officer and his
prisoner from his premises.
In leaving the residence of Justice
Gender it is alleged that Broderick
pushed Mr.. Menifee ahead of him,
which formed basis for the arrest of
the officer upon the charge of assault
and battery. On Tuesday Mr.. Meni-
fee came up to Oakland for the pur-
pose of learning the status of the
case and to stand trial under the or
dinance if any information had been
made against him. Up until the
time of his arrival here nothing had
been done towards a prosecution of
the case and it was then that the
warrant making the charge of assault
and battery against Brodericl was
taken out. He was arrested and held
in bond for the March Term of court.
Mr.. Menifee was later placed under
arrest and gave bond for his appear
ance before Police Justice on Satur-
day when the trial will occur.
Train No. 7, owing to the detention
of the engineer, was delayed here for
half an hour. The conductor was
Theo. Mullin. of Cumberland; the
baggage-master, Frank j. Gender
and brakeman, Robert House.

acceptance took place in Baltimore
on Wednesday. Mr.. Mccullough is
capable and efficient man and will
bring a splendid ability and honesty

RAYKER vs.. GORMAN
War Between Them Over Amend
raeat Likely.


1t was currently reported in politi-
cal circles today that Senator Rayner
would declare himself upon the Con-
stitutional amendment during the
week.
Mr.. Rayner, when seen by a report
er declined to discuss the subject, but
q number of his close personal and
political friends seemed to be satisfied
that there was something in the air
and that any moment may witness
sensational and interesting develop
ments.
1t is an established fact that all the
pressure upon the part of Germans
State Central Committee and his new
committee, and of all of Mr.. Rayner's
friends throughout the counties, has
been unavailing to make Mr.. Ravner
advocate the measure.
There is still a faint hope at head
quarters that he MAJ come out and
say that, while his convictions are
againstit, he will remain silent upon
the subject. This is not the way the
street looks uponit, however. Groups
of politicians around Lexington and
st. Paul streets seem to think that
Mr.. Bayner's blood is up and that
there will be war to the knife between
him and German on the amendment,
and that nothing can stop it.
\ political friend of Mr. Rayner's,
who stood closer to him in the Sena-
torial fight than any other man in
the State, perhaps, said this after
noon:
"Gorman has brought on all the
trouble. He has made so many mis-
taxes that this is about the last he
will make. He is playing the boss
now worse than he ever did. He has
thrown down the legislative ticket in
the city just to keep himself in the
Senate.
THE amendment is his fight, and,
while I don't know What Rayner is
going to do, if he comes out against
the amendment and against German
he will snow them both under in the
city"
Another politician said that Cor
man was a tyrant, and that he ought
to have stayed out Of the city: that
he has made this his fight, and Il
know, he added, "Rayner in his
heart is against this amendment, and
that he is enraged and incensed at
Germans willingness to sacrifice
everybody except himself, and at his
attempt to ram this amendment down
the Threats of the people of Balti-
more"
Investigation in every part of the
city demonstrated that the feeling
against the amendment, which is al
most universal, has become intensi-
fed by Gorman's conduct in attempt
ing to whip candidates into line and
ride roughshod over the rights of the
people, as he has always done. Ely
erywhere there appeared to be feel
ing that Senator Rayner would come
out and head the fight against Cor
man in the Democratic rankS.-Tues-

city, and discussing its effect upon
foreigners and their descendants,
Senator Rayner makes this reference
to the organization and TO the State
convention, which he did not attend:
THE whole truth of the matter is
that this amendment will effectuate
one purpose, and one purpose alone,
and that is to place in the hands of
the organization the absolute con-
troll of the registration Offices of this
State. Every Democrat, therefore,
who is in favor Of continuing in this
body the power that it has arrogated
to itself in the past will undoubtedly
vote in favor of this amendment. and
every Democrat who is opposed to
the assumption of unlimited power
upon the part of any dictator who as
sumes that the organization and the
party are synonymous terms will OPP
pose it.
when We speak of party organi-
cation what is really meant is always
one man. The words organization,
convention and committed, as used
in the political vocabulary of Mary
land, are merely metaphors and fig
ures Of speech. They have an accept
ed significance with us, and they al
ways mean one individual who uses
these phrases as a pseudonym under
which he appears incognito to the
public; but when we speak Of the
Democratic party Of Maryland we
mean 100000 men.

HAS any voter stopped to consider,
when told if the Amendment carries
and he is refused registration, that he
has the right to appeal to the courts
for an enforcement of his right to
vote; that such an appeal would be
impossible and utterly useless, be-
cause of time limit? 1t is plain. The
registrasion days are usually the first
and second Tuesday in October, re-
vision, the third. Terms of court are
usually in September, month earli-
er. Judges are hare to find BY the
time a petition of a voter is prepared,
signed and served and the slow pro-
cess Of time to answer is given, a
hearing had, defective and technical
questions passed upon, the election
is over and the voter deprived of his
right of suffrage. There is no room
on the statue books or in the consti-
tuition of the State for such u mon
strosity of an Amendment.

Der 20, 1s48. She was the mother OF
five children, her husband and two of
her children having preceded her to
the better world.
Over half centuary ago she was
soundly converted to God and for all
these years has lived a faithful con.
sistent Christian life. She, being
thoroughly devoted to the service of
God, was loyal to the church and was
always willing to lend a helping hand
to her fellowmen. Truly had she

Though for some time God, In his all

constant thought being, The Lord
