WAR IN THE CAMP.


A carefully laid plan to take con-
troll of party management in Repub.
lican politics was adroitly set in mo.
ton last Saturday when delegates to
the County Convention were voted
for in the primaries, and successfully
consummated on Monday when dele
gates to the State Convention were
elected.
For some time past FESTIVE spirit
has been shown by certain individuals
against the control of the party by
its conservative element, and 4 stub
born but futile effort was made to
defeat the conservatives in the pri-
maries held June 10.
But last Saturday the dusky voters
were so carefully corralled until the
polls were opened, and then poured
in in such overwhelming numbers
that resistance was useless and the
day was carried by the ants.
By Encouragement the same thing
was easily consummated in the first,
the fourth and half of the fifth dis
tricts, so that as soon as Senator
Baker called the delegates to order
on Monday the convention passed
into the hands of his enemies. Re
fusing him the honor of naming the
delegates to the State Convention as
had been expec ted, his political enc
mics were sent to Baltimore to look
after his intere SITS for the governor
ship!
Not content with this good work,
a resolution was passed that the
newly elected members of the State
Central Committee-Messrs. Robert
]. Gilbert, Albert L. Twining, John
A. Robinson and Edward NJ Allen
be clothed with absolute control of
all party matters except those gov
erned by law, and the convention adj
journed after a thoroughly bitter
meeting.
Few familiar with the facts doubt
that the discussions engendered will
be worth less than several hundred
votes to the Democrats in November.
REPUBLICAN NOMINA TONS.
Sufficient Mudd existed in the Re
publican State convention held on
Wednesday to obscure all other
elements and with a dictatorial
unanimity in striking contrast to
the virile energy displayed by the
maaly Democracy of a week before,
the following ticket was nominated
with the approval of Congressman
Jackson.
For Governor-Mr. George X.
Gather, of Baltimore.
For OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Jas.
H. Baker, of Kent
For Attorney General-Hammond
Urner, of Frederick.
For Clerk of the Court of Appeals
Thomas Parran, of Calvert.
We regret that lack of space pre-
vents our giving the proceedings the
convention deserves, but it shall not
be neglected during the campaign.
Mr.. George r. Orsburn has been
named as the Republican nominee for
County Commissioner in the first
district, vice Mr.. Alex. Bell declined
to serve.
The aegis & intelligencer. [volume] (Bel Air, Md.) 1864-1923, 1907-08-16


The Democracy of Maryland was
never better represented and con-
vention never did its party more
credit than did that which convened
in Baltimore last Thursday.
Every faction of the party was
represented, and in the convention
displayed a freedom of utterance and
action which removed every possible
chance to charge bossism or undue
domination. That all hands were
guessing as to the nominees until
they were finally named gave full
opportunity to discuss the avallabl-
lity of all candidates, and unite on a
ticket which is not only highly repre-
sentative, but has already received
the out spoken support of the party
leaders and the press.
Judge Crothers has been in the
limelight ever since his mate ability
and rugged worth asserted them
selves over the humble surroundings
of his early life; and, whether as a
teacher of country school, prosecut-
ing attorney at the bar, tribune OF
the people in the Senate or Judge on
the bench, he has shown a fidelity and
ability worthy of the highest reward
a State can confer on a faithful officer.
No Democrat in the State is too
lowly to feel for him civic conrade-
ship and none too lofty to sing his
praise.
The only criticism one could fairly
make of Hon. Joshua w. Herring
selection for the COMPREHENSIVE is
that nothing less than the head OF
the ticket is good enough for SO de-
serving man.
With a heart as pure as a little
child's, a disposition as loving and
lovable as blushing maiden, "a nature
as bright as morning in June, a
character as we'll rounded as the
Hottest divine, he combines a business
experience so full and untarnished
that no matters of State have ever
been too small for his personal at.
tention or too large for his success
full solution. We confidently believe
that there is no man in the State
more worthy of the suffrage of her
people and none they would so hearth
ly support.
Mr.. Isaac Lobe Straus' legal ability
was early recognized by the leading
barristers of the State, and he is
already classed as one of her
foremost attorneys. His nomina
ton was especially acceptable to GER
tain elements in the party, one of the
most important of which is the
Baltimore Sun.
Mr.. c. c. Magruder, of Prince
Georges county, is well equipped
for the position of clerk of the Court
of Appeals and comes from section
where his candidacy gives an excellent
opportunity to make inroads upon
the colored Republican vote.
The platform adopted is a plain
uncolored recital of the party record
during the past eight years of her
tenure, and is one of which any party
in any State might be justly proud
Omitting it's minor pointsits decle.
rations for future fulfllment are the

tinued Improvement of our public
highways, and an acceptable amend,
ment to the constitution looking to
the elimination of the illiterate
colored vote.
We believe that the Democratic
party never was in as good fighting
trim to go before the people, and
that the people of the States never
had better reason to continue the
party in power for further term.

The announcement that the govern
ments OF Sweden and Prussia have
agreed TO start a line Of car ferries
directly between those two countries
has set the managers of the Danish
railways to thinking. The head of
the railway department spoke very
freely about the matter to a reporter.
The new ferry line. he said, would
not only deprive Denmark of much
transit trade between Germany and
Sweden, but 1t might even get some
Of the traffic between Hamburg and
Norway. Denmark, he said, simply
has no choice. she must improve the
Gedser and Warvemunde line as well
as the railway connected with It. One
Of the improvements which he looks
upon as imperative in this connection
Is railroad bridge across Mashed.

The articles in the London newspa-
pers declaring that treaties like that
recently concluded guaranteeing the
neutrality of Norway are also neces.
sary in the cases Of other countries
are strongly denounced by politician
Of high rank in Denmark. He asserts
that the London treaty of 1852 did not
protect Denmark's neutrality from
Germany In 1864 and that no better
results can be expected in the future
Denmark. In the opinion Of this official.
Is determined to remain neutral, but it
regards treaties as worthless. The
same view is expressed by all the in

SCENE OF WILD CAROUSlNG
Foreign Miners Who Were Observing
Holiday and Escaped Death Ceie-
hrate by Excessive Drinking.

Jacobs Creek, Pa, Dec. 20.-But six
bodies have been removed from the
Darr mine. the scene of Thursdays
explosion. Many more had been To-
Gated and as the work OF the rescuers
is progressing well, with the fans
working and no fire in the mine, it Is
thought the recovery of all the bodies
is merely a matter OF hours. Some
of the bodies are dismembered and
mangled and all are distorted by the
agonies of violent death and disflg-
ured and begrfmed by the conclusion
and the smoke and dust of the explo-
sion.
The exact number of men entombed
when the explosion occurred is still
uncertain, but there is no reason to
change the earlier estimates of at
least 200. No other explanation than
that the explosion was due to gas has
been advanced.
Faint though ii is hope is cherished
by rescuers and grieving friends and
relatives that some of the men may
have survived the explosion and are
awaiting release far back in the mine.
For this reason the resciers did not
take time to bring out the bodies as
they were found but continually
pressed forward, their only aim be-
Ing to as quickly as possible open a
passage to and explore every section
Of the mine.
Foreigners Celebrate Escape.
The foreign miners who escaped the
disaster made night hideous in the
little village They had suspended
work because OF the holiday and most
of them followed their usual holiday
custom of drinking to excess. Many
were intoxicated before the catas.
trophe and afterwards they put them.
selves In worse condition, some drink.
ing In celebration of their escape and
others drinking to drown grief over
the death of relatives or friends. All
night long there was carousing and
disorder at times bordering closely
upon rioting.
The rescuers report the interior Of
the mine badly damaged As they ad-
vance they are compelled to rebuild
much Of the bracing that was blown
out and a great deal OF bratticing is
necessary to make possible the ven
tilation Of the remote sections. There
IL shortage of many OF the supplies
needed for such conditions and the
work OF rescue will of necessity pro-
gress slowly. The distance from the
mouth OF the mine to the most re-
mote sections Is said to be about
three miles and It is thought that
many OF the bodies will be found near
the end OF the workings.

TRIED TO KILL A FAMILY.
Wisconsin Youth Says He Only Did II
for Fun.

Tor r un.
Oshkosh, Wis, Deu. 25.--Milton b.
Owen, a young man nineteen years of
age. has been arrested on the charge
OF attempting to kill the family of his
employer, Richard Owens of the town
Of Algoma, and several other persons
by poisoning. The party, consisting
Of Mr.. and Mrs Richard Owens and
son Byron, Mr.. and Mrs. George Sta
pies and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Booth,
were at the supper table and after the
serving of tea one Of the ladies called
for a second cup. When it was served
she noticed a strong odor and upon
calling attention to the fact the fam
fly recognized the odor as some lini-
ment which Mrs. Owens had been
using.
Investigation by the family resulted
In the finding of the empty liniment
bottle In the cupboard and upon ques-
tioning young Owen closely he admit
ted he had poured the contents of
the bottle into the teapot while it was
on the stove The liniment contained
poisonous oils.
The young man gave no reason for
his act, simply saying he did it for
fun. He thought 1t would be fun to
kill the whole family. Young Owen
has been adjudged insane and commit
ted to the hospital at Oshkosh.
