AT THE Maryland republican conven-
ton last week, as stated in the Gazette at
that time, platform was adopted con-
tanning the declaration that the republi-
can party of the State ''fsvOrs no social
equality among the races, favOrs no ne
gro domination over the white people
here or elsewhere and can be depended
upon to guard against the establishment
of either of these conditions in Mary
land" Only eightnegroes we're present,
as compared with ten times as many at
former conventions. This action, in ad-
dition to the well-knOwn opinion OF Sec
retarv Root that the experiment OF suf-
frage for the emancipated negroes had
proved failure, is thought to foreshadow
a new policy on the question of negro
suffrage by the next national republican
convention.

Baseball.
Alexandria, Va, Sept. u

To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette.
In order to give justice to the Del Pay
Baseball Club, wish to contradict the
statement in your paper several days
ago in regard to the championship of
the Alexandria Baseball League. The
lnvincibles are not the champions. The
official standing of The clubs is as fol-
lows: Del Ray, first; Invincibles,
second. The above mentioned teams
played on the old fair grounds last We'd
nesday but the Del Ray club refused to,
play of the postponed game on the
ground that the season was over and as
postponed games are left altogether with,
the managers OF the concerned clubs,
neither team can be made to play this
game of. The managers OF the respec-
tive teams agreed, before play COM
menced, that the game would be an ex-
hibition game; therefore the statement
that the Invincibles had won the penant
is unofficial. Respectfully,
DEL RAY BASEBALL CLUB.

The Democratic Primary.


To the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
About week ago, to strengthen the
nerves of some discerning democrats,
who, viewing the great discrepancy be-
tween the total vote expected and the
total vOtecas at the recent primary, were
experiencing q feeling of uneasiness,
you published the election figures IN the
Eighth district showing an increase over
the vote cast for the party at the election
last fall. Now for fear Of making some
democrats the victims of overconhdence
and thus further weakening your al
ready lettering cause, had you not better
call attention to the vote cast IN the Pri-
mary in the Fifth, Mr.. SwaDson's dis
trict, where the combined vote cas-: Tor
Messrs. Swanson, Mann and Willard
was exactly l,705 less than the vote
given Mr.. Swanson last fall.
REPUBLICAN.
We have MOI ut hand the vote cast
for Congressman in the Fifth district last
fall. The correspondents figures are
no doubt correct, for it is well
known that the democratic Con-
gressmen received a larger vote in
the State than did Judge Parker, Mr..
Rixey's in this district largely exceed
ing the democratic presidential candi-
date. The figures 1905 have no special
bearing on what will be Mr.. Swanson's
vote in the Fifth district next Novem-
Der. 1t is known by the correspondent, for
the reason that be is one of the most sstute
politicians in the city, that the vote in
November next will be compared with
the vote cast for Parker and for Roosevelt.
In the presidential contest Parker
received, S0,664; Roosevelt, As, lSl.
Parker received in the fifth district 7, 366
votes and a majority of 1872. The cum
bined vote for governor cast on August
90 was 7,1SS, only 176 less than was
cast for Parker. This is not all, and
as the correspondent might have done so
but did not, we will give some further
figures from the Fifth district. Roose-
welt was admittedly strong last year and
his vote was 1894. Now, Mr.. Swan
sons vote last month was 8, 1865 in a
primary contest or only 1919 votes less
than we're cast for Roosevelt. The
correspondent need not worry as 10
any democrats having ga feeling
of uneasiness or becoming "the victims
of over confidence" and as to weakening
from an "already tottering cause" we
know, and no one knows better than the
correspondent, the claims made in 1889
of $4,000 majority for Malone when
McKenney defeated him by $4,000.
All this recalls the picture Of that horrid
pig printed at that time by an Alexandria
printer.
