TON|GHTS BIG RALLY
Democrats Both Great And Small
10 Hear German Lee And
Crothers Speak.
PARTY UNITY MEETING.
Indications Point To Record For
Attendance And Enthusiasm In
Baltimore.


del county Democrats left town this
morning and during the afternoon for
Baltimore, there to attend the big
Democratic mass-meeting and rally
to be held in The Lyric tonight in
that city.
The representation of Anne Arun-
! del in the audience promises to be
gratifying and a positive proof that
the party here is absolutely united
behind Senator German for the next
Governor of Maryland. From all
sides come such gratifying reports
of a shifting of the tide back to
German that the confidence of the
party workers and all Democrats in
this election over Goldsborough is
growing steadily.
An indication of the situation in the
Republican ranks where discontent
with the present party management
is said to be rife, is given in the verv
excellent communication of j. Albert
Adams, leader among the colored
people OF the town and former MEM
ber of the City Council from the
Third ward. The stand taken bv
Adams is understood to be more or
less general amongst the colored peo-
pie of Annapolis and is growing
among those in the rural districts of
the county.
The work of the grand jury in Bal
tiore, where crookedness and fraud
which equals that in the Democratic
election continue to show up in the
Republican ballot boxes used in the
primary on August 29 each day, i'm
proves the Democratic chances to pre-
sent more solid defence against
Republican inroads.
After counting the Republican ball
lots cast in the Eleventh precinct of
the Sixteenth ward, the Ninth pre-
cinct of the Tenth ward, and the
Eeqr Eeqrth prggTeGraS ggTeeGSIrnaeSt Of the Eighteenth
ing Republicans.
While the Republicans "got to-
gether" and the bosses selected the
State candidates without having
family fight" over the nominations
as did the Democrats, this did not
prevent Republican crookedness, in
an effort to hold the balance of
power in party management. Most
of the cheating done by the Repub-
liens, so far has been in an effort to
count out the "anti-organization"
candidates for place on the Central
Committee and managing body of the
Republican party in the city and to
favor those who had been endorsed
by i"Bill' Stones organization for
positions.
These things will be commented on
and discussed by the Democratic
speakers during tonigbt's big rally at
the Lyric Speeches will be made
by United States Senator Isidor Ray
ner, Governor Crothers, Senator Blair
Lee, Senator Arthur P. German and
Messrs. Edgar Allan Poe and Emerson
c. Harrington. Mr.. Eugene O'Dunne
will preside.
Nearly five hundred ice-presidents,
including a number of prominent and
business and professional men of the
city, will occupy seats on the stage.
The use of the names of these men,
it is believed, will do much toward
crystalizing sentiment behind the
| Democratic ticket.
In the last few days General Vandi-
yer, chairman of the State Central
Committee, has been besieged with
applications for reserved and stage
seats and the supply has been exhaust
ed. The galleries will be reserved
/ for ladies and their escorts and for ar
hour preceding the meeting there will
be band concert. The hall will be
decorated.
