the m,ss vote o. unit rule of Eiecting
Uniten ~,s.As Senators should pre-.
vail, Delegate 4. Ssone Posey, tx
pressed his views, il an interview
published in the Baltimore Sun, in
the following clear and iorcibIe
language
"Ths public mind has been much
disturbed for so'ne time over the
question a. to whether andiustes for
United States Sc Stor shs,l be nomi-
mated by the mass vote or uni, the
anti system. | do not consider that
the Republican party platform

therefore | shall vote ss my judg-
ment suggusts for the best interesls
Of the people of my State.
Il have given the proposition care
full consideration and thought, and
my conclusion 8, In view of the
territorial location Of the larger part
of the votin. population thereof, we
should have the same system for the
nomination OF candidates for United
States Senators as we now have for
the nomination OF candidates for our
States officers. We have 1 peculiar
condition Of things. We have a
large city and small State should
not control the other; If such con-
dition must exist, then it seems 10
me that tina, control had better be in
the hands Of the less dangerous ele-
ment, to wit, the counties.
"l'he votes should be equalized for
the best interest vf the people in it's
effect rather than according to num-
oers. II we are to have the mas
system. Baltimore city with its
large population would absolutely
cot oil the nomination OF cand dates
for United States Senators, which
would not be well for the people of
the State. Baltimore city, practically
controlled the Demo cratic convention
OF two years ago, when candidate
for Governor and other State officers
were nominated and more of its
dangerous power IL to be seen in the
organization Of the prosent Legisls
ture.
Baltimore city has the Speaker Of
the H,use OF Delegates and, Nth
few exceptions, the chairmsnship of
every important committee. What
harm has tbs country done Balti-
more city thar some Of It's citizenship
should be so frightened The power
to con.soi, which seems 10 he now
80 troubling, has heen With the conn-
tey voters since the Constitution OF
1867, and, IN Tact, under many pre-
yious Consultations, end Baltimore
city has been well looked after and
cared for By the countrymen, so
where is the danger Of further conf
dencey
@From the allegations made j,
cannot be denied that there is
larger venal vote in Baltimore city
than in the counties, SO as the ba.-
ancs of power must be lodged some
where had it not hest be given the
least dangerous element. The conn
tiymen can be trusted, nave been
