TWENTY FOUR prominent Democratic and
independent lawyers met at the Eutaw House.
Baltimore, on Monday last to confer on the
subject of submitting to the voters of Mary
land constitutional amendment regulating
the suffrage in this State. The conference was
called by Attorney General Strauss Among
those present were Senators Whyte and Ray
ner, Governor-elect Crothers and Messrs.
John P. Poe, VIM. L. Marbury, Roger w.
Gull, Randolph Barton, Leigh Bonssl and
others. The object of the conference was to
get the views of leading lawyers on the draft
of the proposed amendment, and the planks
and qualifications suggested were discussed.
Naturally there was considerable difference of
opinion. but as all seemed to favor the passage
of an amendment it is not believed much
trouble will be experienced in drafting one
which will meet the approval of those present,
as well as of the rank and file of the party
Hon. J. Fred. c. Talbot. of Baltimore county,
had been named as member of the conference
committee, but did not attend Mondays

THERE is an unbroken rule that the cellar of

cleaned out once in every 100 years. The
cleaner was not on to his job last year because,
if be had been he would have found the letter
addressed to e. s. Merrill, Winchendon, post
marked 1855, that NJ. J. Mcdonald discovered
