 When I received the American news paper" he said. T observed that a French agency attributed to me an in terview quoting me as saying that Rus eia is willing to pay the expenses of the war within certain limits.

Please say that and nothing more and I will be much obliged"

 The Government report then proceeds to relate the arrival of Rear Admiral Kruger's squadron during the morn- ing of June S0th, as follows:
 As the squadron approached the Odes- sa pier the Kniaz Potemkine cleared for action. advanced t5 meet 1t. and cut through its lines. As the Kniaz F,- temkine passed tho muttpeers received an ovation from the cray Of the Geprgi Pobiedonosetz. Rear A:nfrel Kruger thereupon signalled the squadron to swing around and return to Sevastopol. but the crew of the Georgi P0biedono- setz prevented that vessel from fol- lowing, and put ashore all their offi- cers disarmed with the exception of Lieutenant GrigoricR. who blew out his brains. On the advice of the rcvoiu- tlonists a committee of twenty was elected to take charge of the vessel under the direction of . boatswain's mate, and apparently against the lat ter's will. Dissension prevailed among the crew, only part of which was in- 1uenced by the revoiutionists who wanted to follow the Kniax Potemkins The latter threatened to fire on the Georgi Pobiedoncsetz If she tried to re- join the squadron at Sevastopol. The anti-revolutionary section. however. ui- timately gained the upper hand and when in the afternoon of July 1st the two battleships weighed anchor. the Georgi Pobiedonosetx put on full steam and entered the harbor, and sent tho boatswain's mate and some sailors ashore to signify her submission"

TRUE THEN AND NOW.

In the 1895 campaign when the dis
credited German and Rasin machine
was beaten at the polls, the Ring
sought all during that memorable
campaign to keep in power by appeals
to race prejudice and by picturing
the direful things that would happen
if MARYLAND went Republican 1t
didn't work that year because the
people understood their motives. In
this campaign they seek by the same
tactics to secure the adoption of the
Poe Amendment. When that is ac-
complished whites and blacks will
both be at the mercy of the Ring. In
the 1895 campaign the Baltimore Sun
fought the Ring valiantly and show
ed up the hollowness of their pretend
ed fear of negro domination. 1t said
in an editorial on September 20, 1895:
The low cunning of the bosses is
seen in their persistent attempt to in
volve the honest Democrats of Mary
land in u revival of old war issues.
and especially to play upon whatever
fears may linger in their minds as to
the possible revival of the question of
race supremacy. 1t is an appeal to
latent apprehensions and anxieties
which had good solid ground in pc

piod that has happily passed and
which, so far as Maryland is oncern-
ed, has certainly passed forever.
There is no possibility of negro dom
ination in this State nor that the ne
gro voters who constitute only Is per
cent. of our total voting population,
can eyer become ruling factor either
in our State or city government.
Whatever vitality may be left in the
race issue in States further South,
where the relative strength of the
black vote to the white vote is much
greater, there is none left in it in
Maryland. No one knows this better
than German and Rasin, and the on
lY object they have in view in pre-
tending to sound the alarm against
the possible ascendency of the negro
is to try and save themselves by rails
ing a false alarm against danger
that in no way threatens us. We are
satisfied that this demagogic appeal
to dead and buried fears and preju-
dices will fail of lis mark"

threshed out. This amendment will
be voted on by the people of Mary
land at the coming November cleo
ton. 1t is described as a pet scheme
of the redoubtable Senator German
to disfranchise undesirable Republi-
can voters and enfranchise desirable
Democratic yoters-at least that isthe
understanding one may gain of it by
reading the Maryland press. Itwould
appear that this is the season for the
fair-minded people of Maryland to
arise in their might and strike to
death anything SO iniquitous. In
other words, it locks like a case of
'dO or die with the honest people
Of Maryland, both Republicans and
Democrats. If the Poe amendment
becomes law, residents of Maryland
may as we'll make of their minds at
once to become subjects of unscrupu-
lous machine leaders who will not
hesitate to use the state as they may
see fit. The German hand has shown
its dark work many tines in the his
tory Of Maryland, but never before
as black as now.-Grafton Sentinel.

Mass
Meetings !

Citizens of Garrett County, irrespec-
tive of party affiliations are cordially
invited to assemble in Mass Meetings
at the times and places named below,
to hear the iniquities of the Poe
Amendment discussed. This infam-
Gus measure has been denounced by
a Democratic Governor and hundreds
of other leading democrats through
out the State as the most vicious
piece of legislation ever enacted by
the Maryland Legislature, as it strikes
at the right of franchise of every citi-
zen, regardless of race or color, and
will, if adopted by the people, dis
franchise hundreds of white men in
Garrett County.
Eminent speakers from Baltimore
City, local talent and the Candidates
on the Republican County Ticket
will address these meetings.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1905-10-26

GOVERNOR WAKEFIELD must have
been convinced that his duty to all
the people compelled him to oppose
the plan of the German Ring to foist
upon Maryland the Poe Amendment.
As an earnest Democrat and loyal
party man he would naturally go to
great lengths to avoid an open break
with his party leaders. Therefore,
we must assume that he regards the
adoption of the Poe Amendment a.
unjust, dangerous and serious blow
to the best interests Of our State.

U. S. SENATORERAYNER AGAINST
THE POE AMENDMENT.

In a signed letter addressed to the
Democratic party of Maryland, occu-
plying six advertising columns on the
first page of the Baltimore daily news
papers, L. S. Senator Isidor Rayner,
on Wednesday, declared, in the most
unequiyocal language, against the
Poe Constitutional Amendment, and
also denounced in severe terms his
colleague, 3Mr. German, and the Dem
ocratic machine. The letter created
a sensation, and those Democrats who
have been following the lead of Mr..
German were dumbfOunded when
they learned of the detection of Sena-
tor Rayner. This leaves the Demo.
cratic German machine in very bad
way. Senator Rayner, Governor
Warfeld, Attorney General Bryan
and hosts of,other Democrats-strong
party men-have lined up against it,
but Mr.. RaYner not only declares
against it but also denounces the
Democratic ring responsible for it.
He says: "Maryland is no longer to
be the home of liberty. Our rulers
have decreed that the chains of polit-
ical slavery are again to be forged
around us. And for what purpose?
To perpetuate themselves in power
and to revive the waning fortunes of
a political dynasty that proposes once
more to make thralls and serfs of the
sons of Maryland"
81 enter my solemn protest against
the adoption of this unholy measure. -
Il enter my solemn.protest against
the intiction OF. this outrage upon the
people of my State
1T places the.destinies of this State
in the hands of an autocracy."
The whole scheme glitters with
artitice and deception"
sit was conceived in fraud and it
will be executed in iniquity."
1T disfranchises over thirty thou
sand white voters in the city of Balti-
more"
Il am so solemnly and profoundly
imbued with the conviction that |
have expressed, that | would rather
sever the strongest and tenderest ties
of friendship that surrounds me, than
become a party to this hateful con-
spiracy against the rights of my fell
bowman. L would.rather never have
held an honor at the hands of the peo-
pie, and at this moment would sur
render any ambition that | may cher
ish for the present or the future in
the public service of my State OF
country, and would rather that my
name should be forever buried in
oblivion, than either byzactive parti-
cipation or silent acquiescence assist
in inficting this outrage upon the
people Of my State"
