THE MARYLAND REPUBLICANS. ‘The Probable Outcome of the State Conven- tion Tomorrow at Ocean City. Special Correspondence of Tae Evento Stan. Bartrwone, August 26, 1891. The republican state convention will meet at Ocean City on Thursday. Not much interest is manifested in it even by republicans, and it has been a matter of no small difficulty to find a man who will consent to be the party candi- date for Governor. While Col. William J. Vannort of Kent county has received # very considerable boom and is believed by many as being reasonably certain of the nomination, the opinion fs by no means unanimous. Col. Vannort basa great many friends throughout the state, but the impression prevails that he is somewhat handicapped by the opposition to him in his own county. Kent is the home of Capt. William D. Burebinal, the surveyor of | the port of Baltimore, and of Charles T. Westcott, one of the — wealthiest ‘and most influential republicans on the east- ern shore. Therumor is current that those who have encout Vannort to enter th field are using him as aclub to hit Burel and Westcott. believing that of late there has been some friction between him and the two other gentlemen. There is no love lost be- tween Collector Marine and Surveyor Burch- inal, and it is said that the former is desirous of seeing Vannort nominated for governor, because according to usage he would be sent jelegate-at-large to the next national re- convention. ‘Two delegates would taken from the same county and shoul] Col. Vannort be one it is difficult to see how Mr. Westcott. or any other friend of Capt. Barchinal, could hope to be chosen as a dele- gate. It is certain that Collector Marine was the very first man to launch the Vannort boom and that he has been diligently at work strengthening it wherever he coul WLY EX-CONGRESSMAN LOWNDES DECLINED. ‘The situation in Kent has led many republi- cans toask whether it might not be wiser to urge for the nomination for governor a man who 1s identified with no factional trouble and who will have behind him not only the solid support of his party in bis own county but in all parts of the state. A great many cans turned to ex-Congressman Lloyd Lowndes of Cumberland as that man, hoping that he might be induced to accept ‘the nomination, but be bas definitely dectined to allow the use of bis name. In deciding upon this action Mr. Lowndes says, inan interview: “I appreciate the com- pliment very highly, but my business engage- ments will not allow me to devote the time that an honest canvass would require. I sce no reason why the republican ticket should not develop more than usual strength this year. We have everything to inspire us to make a Vigorous fight. The party should get in line for 1392. The mention of my name in connec- tion with the head of the ticket, I repeat, is most flattering to me and I must thank my | good friends who did me the honor to instruct their county delegates to vote for my nomina- tion. Iam sincere when I say that I cannot be a candidate before the convention at Ocean City. The party has plenty of good material and need not be at a loss to find a suitable stancard bearer who can rally its solid strength. wilt be glad to do all in my power to help elect whatever ticket the convention in it wis- dom sees fit to nominate. A LIKELY NAME. With Lowndes out of the way the name of Harry M. Clabaugh of Carroll county has been brought out with some very strong indications of bis nomination. Mr. Clabaugh has inti- mated that he will accept. He is a young man, # lawyer, a man of first-class ability and a high order of integrity, and, moreover, his nomina- tion would be acceptable to all’ factions, ex- EgP% Possibly, Collector Marine and a few of carefully canvassed by those who are opposed to Vannort. United States Sub- treasurer Wellington, United States District Attorney Ensor, Internal Revenue Collector Hill, Postmaster Johnson and Col. Thomas 8. Hodson, chairman of the republican state cen- tral ittee, are allin favor of Clabaugh. es A. Gary, the leader of the anti- admunistration faction, is also for Clabaugh, and unless there should be some hitch Clabauch looks now like a winner and the Vannort boom seems in imminent danger of being punctured. Itis possible that Vannort may receive the nomination for controller if Clabaugh heads the ticket, though Chairman Hoason says the only fight wali be whether Vannort shell have any place on the ticket. Should he receive the latter nomination it is probable that the repub- lican policy will be to take its candidates from exactly the same places that the democrats have done, and in this event ‘THE TICKET WILL PROBABLY BE: For governor—Harry M. Clabaugh of Carroll eounty. For controller—William J. Vannort of Kent ttorney general—George M. Sharp of Baltimore city, For clerk of the court of appeals—Enoch B. Abell of St. Mary's county. Such a ticket would recognize both the young republ «dtthe old soldier element. If Vanuort is not on the ticket at all no name has been definitely fixed upon for controller. Ex- State Senator Moore of Montgomery county has been suggested for it. Montgomery in- structed ite delegates for Vannort, presum@ly to gratify Collector Marine's friend and aseo- ciate, Cashier Arthur Stabler of the Baltimore eustom house, a Montgomers county man. ‘The rest of western Maryland will probably be for Clabaugh. James J. Collins of Worcester county and Col. Thomas S. Hodson of Somerset ‘are buth mentioned for controller. THE PLATFORY which the convention will adopt will doubtless iudorse President Harrison's administration; yet while it may do this all republicans concede ‘that it will be a Blaine convention, and that if any movement were started to Lave a resolution Pityed declaring Blaine the coice of the Mary- ud republicans for President in 1892 it would be apt to go, through with a berrab. There taay be some discussion in committee over the civil service question, with Commissioner Roosevelt's report fresh in the memory of all. It is said, though, that an effort will be made to have the convention indorse the Koosevelt Teport, but this is hardly possible and far from probable. HL —— COL. POLK MUST FIGHT.

Correspondence of The Evening Star. Natvnat Bares, Va., August 24, 1891. Every one saysthat an archery tournament is sure to bring rain, and it is certainly doing double duty in that direction here now. It doesn’t rain in the mountains in an every-day, civilized way, but it comes in great waves of mist that soak a helpless shooter on all sides. But archers never get a bit discouraged, and the more it rains the harder they try to have a royal goqd time, and Natural Bridge is just the place to have:it in. There are three big hotels, all connected by board walks. The Appledore contains nothing but bed rooms,each one opening out into a fine old-fashioned veranda, with reclining chairs and hammocks. The veranda surrounds the house for three stories and isa great place to promenade or lounge and smoke, and it is well filled today, for no one can step off the board walk or he would be in danger of an immediate eclipse in the soft mud that is Between the Ap- jore and road e pavilion, '@ long story frame surrounded with ' porches. contains the ball'room, which is an excep- ally good one and in which the band plays ‘y night from June to October. ‘This item is impressed on you in the circulars, but after you come you ace very sure that that was no Ise alarm, for that band does play every ‘ing, and not only does it play every even- ing, but it plays every noon and between times, aud if xt thinks the archers look blue at th dreary prospect of hunting for arrows in the wet grass it sallies forth and wails out “Hom: ” or “Che Rainy Day,” or some equally enlivening tune. The Forest Inn contains the offices, dining rooms and parlors and a few extra bed rooms. ‘The dining room is the real old-fashioned kind, with long tables for eight people, the castor set in the center, flanked by butter dishes and lates heavily loaded with bread. Then the nives and forks are arranged just so, with your napkin in your tumbler. But there was noth- ing old-fashioned about the dinner; it was just the kind that appeals to the ravenous stomach of an archer. THE ARRIVAL OF THE ARCHERS. The western delegation came through in a special car from Cincinnati, and of course had a very lively time of it on the way. They were met at Clifton Forge by the eastern delegation, who had taken in Luray cavern on the way. ‘The real fun came after leaving the train, for then there is a rough ride of about two miles to the hotels, and the archers were piled like sar- dines, with bows, satchels and arrow boxes, into four-horse stage coaches and jolted until every bone ached from laughing and bumping. THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE TOURNAMENT. ‘The tournameng will commence Wednesday morning, the weather permitting, and every one seems to be in goo «trim to make a good score. The shooters already outnumber those of any previous meet and the association is yery much encouraged over the future outlook. * The Washington delegation is headed by Mr. Louis Maxon, who is as jolly and enthusiastic as ever. and carries sunshine in his voice. The hotels claim that they can accommodate 300 guests and they are almost full now. The “personally conducted” Chesapeake and Ohio excursion will arrive tonight, to remain until ‘Thursday afternoon, and imagine the state of feeling of Col. Peyton, the manager of the jotels, when he read this dispatch from Mr. Gregor, who is in charge of the tour: “For heaven's sake save us room for 120 guests to- night.” And there are only fifteen vacant rooms in the place! The “personally conducted,” I fear, will have to bunk on the veranda. There is one thing the Virginia hills seem very prolific in, and that is cows—long, lean, lanky animals, all ornamented with huge bells, which echo and re-echo until you think there must be at least a million. ‘Tue omnipresent dollar holds first place here, and you qiust pay your little 50-cent piece be- ie a THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.¢.. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1891. What Bishop Paret Says About It—Consider- ations Which Must Guide in the Selection. “‘hs yet the plans as toa site for the cathedral have taken no definite shape,” said Bishop Paret in an interview in the Baltimore Sun, referring to the proposed cathedral in this city, “and nothing will be done in the matter until the site has been selected and the Ind given. This once settled, the project will be vigorously Pushed, and I am confident that generous gifts will follow the endowment of Miss Mary Mann of Washington of land amounting to $90,000 in value. No special location is in view as yet, butIhope and, think the site will be deter- mined before the coming winter is ended. “Agreat many considerations must guide the selection, as the cathedral will be designed more for the use of future than of present gen- erations. ‘The growth of Washington has been 80 great in the short time of the city’s actual existence that it can be safely concluded that the size will be doubled within the next fifty ears. Therefore, the cathedral should be uilt in a location that would seem to promise @ nearness to the heart of the future rather than of the present city. I have nodoubt that the gifts will be large enough to make the cathedral worthy of the nation’s capital, as already there has been a deep interest expressed in the un- dertaking, which originated with two or three Washington clergymen and myself, and was first announced by me at the recent convention in May. “After the site is selected and enough mone contributed to begin the building there will be still much time needed in which to con- sider architectural designs, which will be de- termined in some measure by the location of the ground. I think the ground should not cover less than ton acres to satisfactorily ac- commodate all of the minor buildings which will eventually form a part of the cathedral ile, such as the episcopal residence, the Iwellings of the clergy working at the cathe- dral, schools and institutes. All of this, of course, will ake time, and although the pres ent generation see the building begun, perhaps within the next five years, and the cathedral in use perhaps in ten, many genera- tions must pass before the original design is complete.- All that we can do is to start the work, which those who come after may help on, until’ perhaps a hundred years from now the people may look forward to its completion. Some of the great Catholic cathedrals in Europe were a thousand years in building. The Cathedral of Cologne was begun 1,000 years ago und has been completed within ‘my own lifetime. It is the desire to have the structure erected on a grand scale, and it will robably cost about $2,000,000 in its entirety. The great English cathedrals have been the work of centuries, one generation building the nave, another the chancel, yet another putting on the transepts, until the original design staod complete. “There are a number of Episcopal cathe- drals in the United States, including several in western dioceses. ‘The ‘largest and hand- somest are in the east, among them being the tine cathedral at Albany, erected through the energy of Bishop Deane, which is not yet com- plete, but isin use. ‘The handsome’ cathedral at Long Island was built by the A. T Stewart estate, and another eastern cathedral in use is at Portland, Me. Bishop Potter of New York started a project to build «cathedral in the diocese and has since raised a great deal of money and examined designs for the archi- tecture. “‘A cathedral is, of course, the main church of a diocese, and there the bishop has his chair. ‘The word comes from ¢athedra, meaning a chair or seat, and a cathedral is peculiarly the church of the bishop's seat. The bishop does not of necessity live in the cathedral town, but near it. In considering the question as to whether or not the episcopal residence will be changed from Baltimore to Washington after the proposed cathedral is in use, I feel thatit will be solved in the next twenty years by the divis- ion of the diocese of Maryland into two dio- ceses, with Washington and Baltimore as their fore you are permitted to goand gaze on the most wonderful piece of bridge building the world can produce. What right has a small, puny man to stand up and say that he the Tocks which stood for ages before he ever thought of living and will stand ages after he is forgotten? you ask, but despite all your high notions you pay the "money and go and feast your eyes and think it was cheaply purchased.

A Legal Decision Respecting # Controversy im the Church, The fight between the radicals and the lib- erals of the United Brethren in Christ at Cham- bersburg, Pa., has at length been decided in favor of the liberals. This contest grew out of the adoption of a new constitution at the gen- eral conference in York in 1889. A portion of the church objected to the clause permitting members to unite with secret societies. Thoy withdrew from the conference, organized another and termed themselves the radicals. The contest for the church property at once began and in several portions of this and other states it became a furious struggle for suprem- acy. At Greencastle, Franklin county, blows were resorted to, the church barricaded and all manner of strategy enacted to gain possesion. Finally it was decided by the heads of both conferences to make this a test case, and it was tried in the Franklin county courts. Some of the best legal talent of Pennsylvanig and Ohio (the latter state having the large publication houses of the church) were employed. ‘Thou- wands of pages of evidence were submitted and the expenses ran into thousands of dollars. ‘The radicals disputed the legality of the new constitution. The judge yesterday decided Shat the constitution had been properlyadopted. He concludes that the church at Greencastle has violated none of the conditions under which it holds its property and that accord- ingly the title remains in the liberals, who are in connection with the legitimate’ church.

The water was unusually rough and the wind was strong from the northwest. All sat on deck, the President reclining at ease inachair astern. He greatly enjoyed the ex- hilaration of the trip and viewed the scenery of the Green mountains on one side and the Ad- irondacks on the other with muchinterest. The Elfrida reached Maquam about 6:30. The special, which continued on its way from Bur- Ungton to Maquam, met the party at the latter point and proceeded to St. Albans.

At Brandon the President was showered with flowers as he pleasantly remarked in his speech: “My fellow citizens: The kindly pelting which Ihave received at the hands of some of your Jadi nd of these bright children reminds me of a like experience on the California Ds when we were so pelted with bouquets of hand- some flowers that we were very often co pelled to retreat from the platform and tal cover in the car.

I thank you for your pleasant greeting this morning and bid you good-bye.” [Cheers.] AT VERGENNES. The President was cordially greeted at Ver- gennes, where he said: “My fellow citizens: I have had, as you know, some experience in this business of speaking from the end of a railroad train, but it seems to me this morning that these Vermont towns are closer together than on any other route I have traveled. (Laughter.] Perhaps it is because your state is not very large and you have had to put your towns closer together in order to get them all in. [(Laughter.} “I have heard an interesting story of the origin of the town of Vergennes, because it was one of the earliest instances in the history of our country, if not the very first, of a city being constructed upon Faber, before it was built upon the ground. (Laughter.} That has come to be quite a familiar practice jays of speculation, but it singular that a city charter and ple corporate limits’ of one mile quare should have been given to Vergennes before this century began. If the expectations of the fourider of this city have not been realized fully, you have more than realized all the thoughts of Ethan Allen and his contempo- Tarles in the greatness and prosperity of your state, and in the richer glory and higher great- ness of the nation of which you are part. “I am glad this morning to look into the con- tented faces of another audience of New Eng- land people. You were greatly disparaged in the estimation of some of our people before the civil war. There bas spread, unfortunately, over the minds of our southern brethren the impression that you were so much given to money, to thriftand to toil that your hands had forgotten how to fight. It was a most whole- some lesson when the whole country learned again in the gallant charges and stubborn re- sistance, of the Vermont brigade that the old New England spirit still lived; that Paul Revere still rode the highways of New England; and that the men of Concord and Lexington and Bennington still ploughed her fields.

Iam glad to mect you this bright, Joyous morning and I am sure, in view of the fatigues that have preceded and that are to fol- low, you will excuse me from further speech and accept my most heartfelt thanks for your friendliness.” [Applause.] AN ADDRESS AT MIDDLEBURY. The residents of Middlebury turned out in force todo honor to the President, who ad- dressed them as follows: “My fellow citizens: Though I have not before had the pleasure of looking into the faces of many of you, Vermont has for many years been familiar to me, and has been placed high in my esteem by the acquaintance I have formed at Washington with the representatives you have sent there. It has been a great pleasure to me to know your esteomed fellow citizen, Gov. Stewart. Your state and district and the nation at large have had in hima most able and faithful champion of all that was true and clean and right. [Three cheers were given for Gov. Stewart.) You have been par- ticularly fortunate, I think, in your represent- atives at Washington, as Ilind Gecasion to say the other dey at Bennington. Iam glad to be here at tho sito of this institution of learning—Middlebury College—which is to in these late is rounded almost every resience. ‘The picturesque town seemed to be one vast illuminated park. Every building was deco- rated. Thousands of persons were massed on the sidewalks. The scene was striking and splendid. It was the mingling of natural and artificial setting. After dinner, at Gov. Smith's, the President was escorted’ to the Weldon House, which fronts upon St. Albaus’ Park. About 12,000 people were massed in the park. The scene was one of unusual splendor. from the branches of the elm and maple trees 2,000 Chinese lanterns depended. A Band of music Played in the nce throughout the exercises. Wien the President appeared on the balcony, from which he spoke, the enthusiasm was in- nse. AT ST. ALBAXS. He was introduced by E. C. Smith and spoke as follows My fellow citize I fear that my voice will not permit me suitably to acknowledge this magnificent demonstration. Most deeply do I feel whatever of personal you thus evi dence, and yet more highly do I appreciate that love of American institutions, which I am sure is the dominant impulse in this great assembiy. [Applause.] Your situation upon this great water line connecting the St. Lawrence with the Hudson was an early suggestion to the trader ‘as well as to the invader. In the address deliv- ered by President Bartlett in 1877, at the ob- servance of the centennial of the battle of Ben- nington, I noticed that. he said trading Man- chester sent two regiments to conquer a market, and it recalled to my mind the fact that one of the great motives of resistance on the part of the colonies was the unjust trade restrictions and exactions which were im upon thom by the mother country in order to secure the American markets for the British manufacturer. This battle fora market was never more general or more strenuous than now among all the nations of the world, though now generally not pushed to bloodshed. [Ap- plause.. In the contest of trade we have ourselves en- gaged, not by attempting to push our political domain into iands that are not rightf ly ours; not by attempting to overthrow or subjugate the weaker but friendly powers of this hemis- phere, but by those methods of peaceful and Profitable interchange which are good for them, as for us. [Cries of Good! Good! and applause.) ‘e have never in the history of the country harvested such a crop as has now been gath- ered into naries of the United States. ‘Applause.) We shall have an enormouily rgex surplus of breadstuffs for exportation, and it happens that in this period of our abun- dance crop failures or shortage in India, in Russia, in'France, in Germany and in Engiand have opened a market that will require the last bushel of grain we have to sell. [Cries of “Good,” “good,” and applause.] Rejoicing in the great increase of material wealth which is flowing in upon us, may we not on these great lines of enterprise, lifting ourselves now to newer and larger thoughts of what this coun- try may be, enter upon these opening avenues of trade and influence upon which are the beckoning invitations of friendly peogles. [Ap- s00n complete its hundredth ycar of modest yet efficient service in training the minds of your young men for usefulness in li ‘These hoine institutions, in which these able and faithful men assiduously give themselves and their lives to the building up and develop- ment of the intelligence, and not only that but of moral side of our young men, are bulwarks of strength to your siate and your community. ‘They caunot be too highly esteemed and hon- by you, because, my countrymen, kings may rule over an ignorant people and by their iron control hold them in subjection, and in the quictuess tyranny. Bata free land rests ‘pod the intelligence of its people and has no other safety than in well rounded education and thorough, moral training, | (Criew of “good.” ““guod,” and applause.) Again I thank, you for this cordial greeting which Vermont gives me this morning, and to these comrades and friends Lextend & = greeting and good wishes.” Use.

Phelps, lately United States minister to England, Mr. Seward Webb and Scones of citizens. m an ‘Famands’, where lunch A SPEECH AT BURLINGTON. After luncheon the President was taken to plause.} Lot me thank you again for this magnificent assemblage of Vermont patriots and of Vermont women. ‘The President then returned to the residence of Gov. Smith for the night. ———_~+-e+—__-- HOBART WINS. In the Tennis Single Championshipat New- port He Defeats Hovey. At Newport, R. I, yesterday the final match in the all-comers' tennis tournament was played between Clarence Hobart of New York and F. H. Hovey of Harvard. Hovey won the first game, principally by aces ‘on serves, and the second game by placing at Hobart’s backhand. Hobart had great luck in the third by having many returns just to fall over the net. The fourth game, » vantage con- test, went to Hovey, who won mainly on placed lobs over Hobart’s head. Then the latter made a beautiful brace and won stroke after stroke by sharply driven Lawfords, almost all of which Hovey drove out. The rests in the eighth game were very long, and Hovey finally took e times by his placed lobs over his oppouent’s head. Hobart made another fine brace, and took the ninth and tenth games by his swift returns, which Hovey either drove into the net or out of the court.. Hoburt won the sot, 6 tod.

The Evening Star Is the OLpEsT and most firmly established newspaper pub- jlished in the District of Co- | lumbia, having won the high position it holds in the confi- |dence of the people of Wash- ington by forty years of faith- ful and unswerving devotion to their interests, without regard to any other influence or con- sideration whatsoever. THE STAR is the Larcrst paper published in Washing- ton, with a general equipment and printing facilities three-fold aver | greater and better than those of any other Washington paper; and, having the full Day Re- ports of both the New York Associated Press and the United Press, supplemented by an une- is | qualed service of Exclusive Spe- cial Dispatches from all promi- nent points in America and Eu- Tope, it prints more and fresher Telegraphic News than any other Washington paper can possibly supply, furnishing at the same time a greater amount and better quality of Local, Domestic and General Intelli- *|gence, and a larger quantity and higher grade of Original and Selected Literary Miscel- lany than any paper in the Dis- trict. Being delivered at the homes of regular subscribers for the trifling sum of ten cents per week, THE STAR is much the CHEAPEST paper published in the District, as well as the Best. THE STAR'S circulation in the City of Washington is more than three times larger than that of any other newspaper, and the number of its readers more »/than five times as many. As an advertising medium it there- fore stands without a competi- tor, whether either ExTENT or Qvatity of circulation is con- sidered. That the intelligent public thoroughly understands these facts and acts upon them is conclusively shown by the steady and rapid growth of the paper’s business both in circula- tion and advertising patronage. Note This Point. THE STAR gives the exact figures of its circulation every week, and cheerfully opens its books and press and delivery Tooms to any person having in- terest in the correctness of its statements, so that its patrons know precisely how much and what kind of publicity they are getting when they buy space in its columns. PETTY THE STAR is the only paper in Washington that thus takes and few papers anywhere are willing to .do it. This fact is more expressive than any words can be.
