A SORRY SPECTACLE.

II was not an edifying spectacle.
the Republican State Convention
which met on Friday Of last week in
the Lycenm Theatre in Baltimore IL
was enliyened by lstic encounter
between white man, Charles H.
Heintzman. one time Republican
candidate for Mayor. and now cnn-
didate for State Senate. and one
Dorsey. a colored politician, mig.
burly and arrogant. The only re-
deeming feature Of the fight was that
the white man got in the first and
only blow. The two combatanfs were
separated before the coiored man
could retaliate. The personnel Of the
convention was a mixture Of white
and black The spectacle added 10

sincere in their pledges to the city,

they can ride to victory again In the

that the Republicans won In 1917, not
by their inherent strength, but by
desertion OF thlir party by Baltimore

of the counties, not on annaxation Is

guided by the highest motives. Patron
age, they declared, was far from their
thoughts And yet when the party

and the Republican administration
was in the saddle in Washington one
OF its first acts was to dismiss VIM. r.

Port OF Baltimore, two years before
his term expired.
Never in the political history of
