For Vice President,
JAMES S. SHERMAN,
Of New York.
rHe MAINe ELncTIoN


Following close upon their victory
in Vermont the Republicans again
won a decisive victory in the State Of
Maine on Tuesday last where the re-
suits of two years ago were complete
ly reversed with the exception of one
Com ressman.
Two years Ego the democrats
swept the State of Maine electing
a Governor and the legislature, The
Governor that year being elected by
the large maj rity of 5000. That
majority was reversed this year and
a Republican elected by 5000 ma
jority.
The election in Vermont aud
Maine have for many years been a
sort Of weather vaue in Presidential
years, it being said that as these two
states went so would the country. II
this be true as, heretofore, there is
every indication that President Taft
will sgain sit in the Whits House for
four more years.
The victory in Maine is great one
for the republicans in many ways
First, because it demonstrater that
the Republicans who were disposed
to be week kneed on account Of
the third party movement are lining
up solidly together and ignoring the
Bull Moose, fighting, the common
enemy the democratic party with a
solid phaland. Secondly, because it
strengthens the party in the national
Congress in the addition of another
Congressman and the replacing of a
Democratic U. S. Senator by a Re
publican. Thirdly, because the
democrats made their fight on Ma
tional issues and lost demon
strating that therepubIicans have the
right and popular side on all of these
questions.
The victory of the republicans in
Maine is a severe set back for the
democrats of the country who conf
IDENTIFY expected the democrats Of
Maine to repeat their feat Of two
years ago.
The republicans have great cause
for joy in the victory in Maine. The
victory means victory in November
and continued peace, happiness and
prosperity for the next four years.

EDITORS,
Your issue of Friday, Aug.
23rd OF this year, (which | found in
the home Of my son-in-law, Mr.. Richard
H.. EDELIN, contains some information
that have read with pleasure, in fact;
l can always get something interesting
out Of the Maryland Independent and l
am not unknown in your State. In fact,
l have relatives in serveral parts Of the
State, especially in Baltimore and l
had a relative who was at one time,
Governor of your State, another rose
to the rank Of Major General in the
Army, an Army in which spent many
years myself and in which l helped to
make some history
When tired Of law books and legal
responsibility l sometimes thing, when
the midnight oil is about to give out,
of the poets and our candidate for Of
ice and my last eifussion on this ques-
ton is here inelosed. 1t may interest
your readers. The busy lawyer has
little time for thought outside OF his
law work, still, we do occasionally
think of the muse and music. Litera-
ture is always interesting to wearied
mind and the well read lawyer often
gets rest from his study in the story
writer, even the scientist at times in
terest him, History may rest his
mind. Economics set at rest the dis
turbed nervous system and after all
is said and done, even II l do 1t the
law il justly administered and faithfully
obeyed, is the best poor mans friend.
Il is the usurpation of office and office
rights and the lack of justice in human
affairs which uusettles the mind OF
man and his relation to fellow men.
Wishing the Independent success
and its editors and managers, prosperity,
and hoping later to saw something more
interesting for your reeders,
/ am,
Very truly yours,
p. P. CARROLL.

OH how they scar
Aud how they roar
For office once more
Till it becomes a boar.
See how they dance and tare
For public office FARE
In blatant speech they dare
To each denounee with care.
OH for the shame Of it
And who is to blame for it
The man of no name
Crippled in mind, insane
You just think Of it,
Office: he wants all of it
Cause he's fit for it
And knows how to fill it.
Full up to the Drim,
Is your Candidate, and when
For office he runs, Trim
Him, racer so slim.
He tells Of bis trial
For vagabondage vile,
How he did for pardon file,
Prepared for freedoms stile.
To be baked on the road,
Without stick or goad,
And all the same Ia mode,
Turned down when be showed.
How good he corld be
When climbing liberty tree,
A fat office to see
But = No office for me.
The pigeon he flew
Scared at the dastardly crew
That turned the screw
Cause the officer knew
The Secret through and through
He had to do as others do
Tell the awful story true,
Convict his comrades by lying too

The Independent in the recent ar
ticle about the festival and picnic at
Chapel Point of the colored people
did not state nor even impute that
there was anything but the very best
of order on that occasion. We will
state here that from all information
obtainable that the very best Of order
prevailed. The committee which
had change of the affair was compos-
ed of some of the most representa-,
tive and respectable colored men in
the county among whom were 9. A.
Mason, Frank Hanson, William Han
son, Henry Bush, Michael Digges
and others, Their efforts to have
absolute good order were well re-
warded and their vigilance in this
line amply satisfied Thieving was
committed. The purpose of the ar
ticle was to condemn acts of thievery
that came to our notice for which
the committee nor the large con-
course Of our county colored people
were not responsible. Such mis-
creants are always prowling around
at church entertainments held at
public places. The purpose Of the
article was to condemn the mis-
creants themselves for going to these
entertainments for such purposes.
We comdt mn and do not hesitate
to condemn the individuals who go
to these places and create disorder
or comnllt other violations Of the
law.
There were many persons In at
Tendance at the entertainment from
out OF the county some of whom
have little respect for our county
people and imagine they can come
down here and do as they please.
These are the people who cause the
unpleasantness that may happen at
these entertainments and for which
sometimes our people are blamed.
Church entertainments should be
held within church limits and not at
public places.

of the country. Their peril is agu-
mented by the fact that crops are
scarce in all sections ow the country
as a result of the two recent revolts
stopping tillage.
FLOOD FILLS ENTIRE VALLEY.
The cloudburst was the latest and
most severe of a long series which
have descended on the district in the
last few weeks. This cloudburst COW
cred the valley OF the Santiago to a
depth of seven feet. The natural out
let's became clogged and within half
an hour nothing was seen of the two
little cities but the roofs of the houses.
The cities were left in darkness as
the electric light plant, further down
the valley, was washed away and this
tended TO add to the panic.
The vast body of water went out aB
suddenly as it came, carrying houses
and people to destruction. Every
house in the path OF the food was
torn from its foundations and left ruin
and misery in its place.
FEAR HUNGER KILLED MANY.
within a few hours the survivors
began to feel the loss Of all food
