The Quaker Church of America promises to have a heresy trial as celebrated in its limits as the Briggs case in the Presby- terian church. Dr. Dougan Clark, profes- sor in the theological school at Earham College, at Richmond, Ind., it was recently disclosed, had been baptized with ten other Quakers, at the yearly meeting at Damas- cus, Ohio, during the last summer, ‘This act on the part of Dr. Clark is a direct rebellion against the time-honored tetets of the Society of Friends. The fa- mous founder of the society, George Fox, expressly laid down that baptism is of the spirit and not of the water. Dr. Clark is not the first Quaker in Amer- ica to offend in the matter of baptism, but he is the first man of prominence in the society to defy the elders. His position at Earham College, where he has been teaching the Quaker youth for years, makes it necessary that the elders take action. Accordingly, Dr. Clark has been tem- Porarily deprived of his honors and in- fluence and is now passively waiting the action of the committee which been appointed to investigate his heresy. WANT A DAY OF REST. Chicago Clerks Have Begun an Agita- tion for Sunday. ‘The Retail Clerks’ Association at Chica- go has begun anew the work of organiza- tion among the salesmen and saleswomen of the city, with the object of reviving the agitation which started a year ago to close the stores earlier in the evening and to keep them closed all Sunday. Little has been done by the organization in this line since the defeat of the ordinance which was passed by the council, only to be vetoed by the mayor on advice of the city law depart- ment, 1t is now the intention of the clerks to in- troduce another ordinance, which will have eliminated the objectionable points of the first measure. In this agitation the local organization will have the moral and finan- cial support of the naticnal body, and the officers and members of the unicn hope that there will be a law in Chicago which will give the tired clerks an opportunity of rest- ing at least on Sundays. sor INCENDIARISM SUSPECTED.

Head- quarters in Baltimore. SITUATION IN THE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS Republicans Have a More Hopeful Outlook Than Ever Before. DEMOCRATIC FACTIONS Correspondence of The Even!ng Star. BALTIMORE, MD., September 13, 1894. The democratic and republican party committees have opened their state head- quarters here in this city and are actively at work preparing for the campaign, which wilt begin the latter part of the month. Maryland will hold no state election this year, and the only ofticials to be chosen are six members of the Fifty-fourth Congress ana two members for the balance of the Fifty-third Congress, one in the first dis- trict to succeed the late Robert F. Brattan, and the other in the Oifth district to suc- ceed Naval Officer Barnes Compton, who resigned to accept the naval office at this port. In addition to the above a new judge of the superior court is to be elected in the city of Baltimore and twenty-two mem- bers of the first branch of the city council in the same place. The Cemocrats have held their congres- sional conventions in the first, fifth and sixth districts, and the republicans have held their conventions in the first, second, filth and sixth districts, and candidates have been nominated in the places named. The conventions of both parties in the other districts will rot meet until October 2, and the city conventions ef both parties will mest at the same time to nominate cardidates for judge and also for the city council, The First District. In the first district the democrats have nominated Joshua W. Miles, a young law- yer of Somerset county, for the Fifty-fourth Congress, and W. Laird Henry, editor of the Cambridge Chronicle, for the balance of the Fifty-third Congress. The republicans have nominated in the same district Mr. Abraham Lincoln Dryden of Somerset for the Fitty-fourth Congress, and Mr. Joseph Mallalieu of Queen Anne county for tne baiance of the Fifty-third Congress. All the candidates are men of high character, and no question of personal fitness for the position will enter into the calculations of the voter in making up his decision before casting his ballot. Yet, for the first time since the war, the first, or eastern shore, district is considered by both parties as debatabie ground, and the republicans are apparently filled with hope at the prospect. No republican has been sent to Congress from that section of the state for more than @ quarter of a century, and to accept the republican nomination has heretofore been considered even less than a forlorn hope; but this year the democrats are filled with dismay at the outlook, and the republicans are openly claiming that they will not only elect Mr. Mallalieu to fili out the late Mr. Brattan’s unexpired term,*but also will elect Mr. Dryden to the seat in the Fifty- fourth Congress. While the ublicans: are united and full of enthusiasm, the dem- ccrats are rent almost asunder: by factional quarrels, as far as the politicians are con- cerned, and the rank and file of the party are apathetic and taking no interest what- ever in the ticket, while many are openly hostile. The old element of the party which has always been opposed to the domination of Senator Gorman claims that the ticket was named in his interest, and that taey will not exert themselves to elect it on that ground, while the younger elements are to @ great extent disappointed at the distribu- tion of the federal patronage, and say that the office holders bossed the convention which made the nominations, and that it is no more than fair that they should see to its election. While the chances, therfore, judging from the facts, ought to be favor- able to the success of the democrats, the situation is such that no one would be sur- prised to see a reversal of things and the republicans victorious. The Second District. In the second district the republicans have nominated State Senator Wm. B. Baker of Harford county. Mr. Baker is a banker, and is the largest manufacturer of canned goods in the state. He was elected to the state senate last fall by a majority of over 200 in Harford county, which usually polls a democratic majority of 1,000, and all the democratic ticket was elected by the usual majority, except the candidate for senator, Who was defeated by Mr. Baker, as above stated. The democrats will renominate Congressman J. F. C. ‘falbott, without op- position, but if Mr. Baker should poll the Same vote in proportion in the other counties which it is conceded he will poll in his own county, it will make the result very doubt- ful, wit the chances in favor of the repub- lican nominee. As great part of the manu- fecturing industries of the state are situat- ed in the second district, it is claimed by the republicans that they have a fighting chance to win, although the democratic Feliticians ridicule these claims and assert that Mr. Talbott will be re-elected by a safe majority. The third and fourth districts are situated entirely in Baltimore city, and the demo- crats are sure to win, no matter whom they iaay nominate. Mr. Harry Welles Rusk will be renomi- nated by the democrats in the third, and no one can tell who will be named in the fourth by that party, now that Mr. Isidor Rayner has announced his intention to de- cline a renomination and become a candi- date for governor. There is some talk of renominating Mr. Rayner in spite of his declination in advance, but that gentleman Says that he will not accept under any cir- cumstances. The conventions of both parties in the two districts named will not be held until next month, the democrats holding theirs on the 2d and the republicans on the 3d of October. The Fifth District. In the fifth district the battle between the parties has already begun, and will doubt- less be one of the hettest conflicts the state has ever seen. The republicans have nominated State Senator Charles E. Coffin of Prince George's county for both terms, while the democrats have selected State Senator John G. Rogers of Howard coun- ty fer the Fifty-fourth Congress, and br. George Wells of Anne Arundel county for the unexpired part of the Fifty-third Con- gress. All these gentlemen are men of high character and ability and will make strong candidates. The democratic nomi- nees are handicapped, however, by factional fights in several of the counties in the dis- trict, and were only nominated after stormy scenes in the convention; and the bad blood raised by the fights referred to does not teem likely to cool, but on the con- trary the bitter feeling is apparently on the increase. Mr. Coffin, on the contrary, has @ united party at his back and the repub- licans in the fifth district appear to be in excellent form for a winning fight, while the democrats are correspondingly demor- alized. The Sixth District. In the sixth district the republicans have nominated Mr. George L. Wellington of Allegany, after a hard fight, and the dem- ocrats have placed in the field Mr. Ferdi- nand Williams, also of Allegany. The dis- trict has a nermal republican majority of over fifteen hundred, although factional quarrels in the party ranks have caused ®0 much trouble that Mr. W. M. McKaig has been elected twice—in 188 and Isw2. It is not thought, however, that the result this year will be the same, but on the con- trary the most sanguine democrats concede the election of Mr. Weliington by a good majority. Never before in the history of the party have the democrats been in such a demoral- ized condition. The friends of Senator Gor- man on the one side have controlled all the conventions, and whiie they have con- ceded as a general thing anything that might be asked in the way of resolutions in favor of the President and his adminis- tration, they have been very careful to nominate nothing but Gorman candidates for the offices.
