FORMERLY HOSTILE ELEMENTS UNITE Bryan’s Hope is in Large Free Si ver Accessions. MR. WELLINGTON’S CLAIMS Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. BALTIMORE, M4., July 31, 1890. The political situation in Maryland is more mixed than usual this year. For many years there has been a general fu- sion of certain elements of the democratic party with the republicans on local or state issues, and this fusion last year brought about the electicn of a republican governor and general assembly and the turning over of the state and city governments to the republicans for the first time since 1867. These fusion movements have never here- tofore included national elections, but, on the contrary, the very men and the ele- ments at their back who have aided the republicans in state and city politics have always been foremost in asserting their allegiance to the democratie party in na- tional campuigns, and have worked side by side one year with the very men they have fought to overthrow in local affairs the year before. Bolting Democrats. This year, however, the situation is alto- gether different. The elements of the dem- ocratic party known as the “reformers,” largely reinforced by business men whose boast it has always been that they “never scratched a ticket,” are eyen more ener- getic than the republicans In their hostil- ity to the Chicago nominees and platform, end in their enthusiastic devotion to the ticket and platform which they contend represents the sound money si:le of the con- tes! In fact, up to the presenti time the campaign, so far as there has been any campaign, has been confined almost en- tirely to the democratic factions. ‘The re- publicans, united for their ticket as they apparently are,have looked on in a mild sort of amazement and surprise at the fact that the most enthasiasm for their ticket has been manifested by certain prominent democrats, who have always been opposed to them, and who have been especially strong in their manifestations of hostility to McKi and what they have called McKinle: Democrats of the most pronounced free trade views are among the strongest sup- porters of McKinley and Hobart, as the representatives of the gold standard, and such men as Gen. J. McKenney White, Harry A. Parr, Douglas H. Thomas, Daniel Miller, Randolph Barton, ex-Mayor Robert I. Davidson, ex-Mayor Robert Banks and others whem have’ been noted in years past for their adherence to and devotion in the ser- vice of the old Ra: openly enlisted in favor of the election of the republican ticket. These men have never been allied to the anti-ving or reform element of the demo- cratic party. They have never been fol- lowers of Mr. John K. Cowen, but have al been known as “Gorman demo- crats,” and have been ready te sustain and support any tcket nominated at the dicta- tion of the senior Senator. They have heated “democratic business men’s move- ments” over and over again for nearly a quarter of a cen ury, which have backed up and saved their party from defeat in more than one hotly contested election. They sustained Gorman and Rasin and the ring; they supported Mr. Hurst for gov- ernor last year, but they say they cannot and will not support Bryan or any other man on a free silver platform, There they draw the line, and they are ready to take McKinley and his tariff views on a sound money platform rather than any member of their own party on what they call a platform of dishonor arid repudiation. They have therefore joi with their oid opponents, the reformers under Mr. Cowen, ard together all these elements are working to carry Maryland against their party nominees and for McKinley and Hobart. Democrats Preparing for a Hard Fight. With the republicans united and enthu- giastic, with a large contingent of influen- tial democrats openly aiding them, and with their own party still suffering from the disorganizing effects of the crushing Gefeat of last year, the democratic organi- zation is preparing for the contest this year. The situation is of such a character as they have never faced before, and it is diffcult to see how they can win. Their only hope Is in the spread of the free sil- f ver sentiment among the people to an ex- tent sufficient to overcome the defection in their own ranks, and this, they claim, is sure to be the case. There are other obstacles in the path of the democrats in addition to the defection in the ranks of their most prominent mem- bers and sometime leaders. They are ab- sylutely without any organ in “he daily press of the city. The American, as a re- publican paper, is supporting the ticket nominated at St. Louis. The two avowed democratic papers, the News and the Sun, have bolted the’ Chicago platform and nominees and are also supporting McKin- ley. The Herald and the World, the two supposed non-partisan independent papers, are also against Bryan, and the only wa the democratic organization can reach the people will be by way of campaign docu- ments and paid advertisements. Any one who knows much about Maryland polities will understand what the above statement means. Unless some sort of newspaper support is obtained they will have a difii- cult task to hold a large percentage of their vote in Baltimore. ‘The above are but a few of the existinz phases of the political situation which led Senator-elect Wellington to claim the vote of this state for McKinley and Ho- bart by a large majority. There are other phases which are not yet so evident, but at the present time all the indications point to a verification of Mr. Wellington's fore- cast, as given in Thursday's Star. Impar- tlal cbservers concede that he is not far out of the way. aoe WHEN BRYAN COMES. Democrats Expect to Give Their Leader a Rousing Reception. At a meeting of the democratic central committee held at Myers’ Hotel last night, presided over by Chairman Kalbfus, a committee, consisting of George Killeen, John A. Clarke, Robert E. Doyle, J. F. Kelly and Michael J. Scanion, was appoint- ed to arrange for a hall in which to hold the meeting to ratify the Chicago nomina- tions. The committee charged with formu- lating rules for the government of the central body reported progress and was continued, and Messrs. Wittekindt, Doyle and Clarke were authorized to secure a campaign banner bearing portraits of Bry- an and Sewall. A resolution was adopted declaring that the selection of Mr. Law- rence Gardner as District member of the national committee was in the best inter- ests of the party in the District. The committees representing the various democratic organizations in the District which have combined to give a reception to Candidate Bryan on his approaching visit to this city are hard at work maturing plans, and the occasion promises to be a memorable one. It is probable that Mr. Bryan will come here immediately after he has been formally notified of his nomi- nation in New York and will make a spe2ch to the local* democracy. Others who are expected to be eloquent on the occasion include Senators Daniel and Jones of Ar- kansas, State Senator Grady of New York and Mr. Andrew Lipscomb. Mr. John R. MoLean will be invited to preside. —— Political Information and Statistics. Every one interested in politics can find fullest information upon past political events in The Evening Star Almanac.

James Smith, the negro who murdered Miss Drown at Seat Pleasant, was sur- rendered to the Maryland authorities yes- terday afternoon, as stated in The Star, and they immediately took their charge to Baltimore, where he was lodged.in jail to await trial at Marlboro’ next October. Bailiff James Springman brought Smith up from the police station to the City Hall a few minutes before 3 o'clock, and at once took him into Circuit Court room No. 1, where a large crewd had gathered to catch a view of the fiend. Springman re- moved the handcuffs from the man and seated him just in front of the judge's bench, taking a chair beside him, while a Star reporter occupied the chair on the other side of the murderer. It was several minutes before Judge Hagner came in, and during that time, through the courtesy of Deputy Marshal Robinson, and in marked contrast with the lack of consideration shown newspaper reporters by the superin- tendent of police, the reporter was accord- ed every opportunity of conversing with the self-coademned man. Smith seemed to really enjoy the dis- tinction of being the subject of so much at- tention. and, throwing one leg over the | other, threw himself back in his chair in an eazy, indifferent attitude, smilingly re- plying that he felt splendidly, to the re- porter’s inquiry. He stated that he was aware that they were about to take him to Baltimore for safekeeping, and, when it was suggested to him that he might never reach there, he laughed in a half-sneering ( manner, and replied: “It’s all the same to me now. I have done the thing and that’s all there is about it. I don’t care what they do with me.” “But do you know that they have threat- ened to take you from the train and burn you alive?” inquired the reporter. Yes, I have heard all that,” the murder- er coclly replied, “and that’s all right, too. ‘They can do just as they please with me, I fay, and the sooner they do it the better Ql like it. I Know I've got to sufier for it, and tet it come as quick as they want to make it. I'm prepared for it.” Asked if he had any regret for what he had done, Smith hesitated a montent, and then evaded a direct answer by saying: “The thing’s done, I tell you, and that’s enovgh about it.” Then he shut up like a clam, and sneeringly smiled when advised to make the best of his remaining time. Just then Judge Hagner came into court, when Assistant District Attorney Armes «xplained that the requisition of Gov. Lowndes appeared to be in proper form, and he moved that the prisoner be surrer dered to the Maryland officers. After glancing at the papers to see that they were sufficient, Judge Hagner said: “Smith, step up.” The negro did so, informing the judge that he knew what the paper was, that he was the man mentioned in it, and that he was willing to go to Baltimore, not caring te have the assistance and advice of counsel. “Very well, then,” remarked the judge, “Jet the prisoner be turned over to the Maryland officers. Smith resumed his seat as Sheriff Underwood and his deputy, Mr. Waring, signed a receipt to Marshal Rol- inson for the man’s body, and then the murderer was again securely handcuffed, hustied out of the court room into a car- riage by Springman and the Maryland of- ficers and quickly driven to Sixth Street Station, where the train for Baltimore ws boarded a moment or two before it pulled out. At the request of the she ‘The Star reporter telegraphed the Balti- more authorities in his name to meet th party at the Union station, Baltimore, with | the jail van, and when the train arrived there after uneventful trip, Smith wa driven to the city jail and the locked up in murderer's row in the p!

A Case Judge Miller Thinks Should Be Investigated. A neatly dressed colored woman, who than did any other witness, while Mrs. Renner, wife of Dr. Czarra, told the court the cireumstances under which the child was received at her lying-in hospital at No. 16 4th street northeast. The case was brought to the attention of the court on a petition to have the child turned over to the board of children’s guardians. Dr. Walls declared that he knew nothing of the identity of the child's mother. Some said, a young woman about twenty-three years old came to his office and asked if ine would treat her at Dr. Czarra’s plac gave him. The child was born on the Sth of the month, and two days later the mother declared her intention of leaving the hospital. He was under the impression that the youn, woman was not married, and wanted to hide her shame, and so he did what he thought was his duty in the matter. A carriage called at the hospital, and he went with her to the front of St. Patrick’s Church, and there he left her. The arrangement was that she was to mect a lady there, and when he saw the lady in black approach he left. Then he took the infant to a wet nurse. He told her that the child was an orphan, and wanted her to keep the boy until his grandparents :n for the child's care he took out of his own pocket. He did this because he feared the child might die, and he did not want to be Mrs. Jones, the colored woman who has cared for the child, was examined, but she knew nothing of the case, except that the Mrs. Renner said that the woman paid her $10 for the room she occupied. She said that she knew nothing of the child's mother, and said that homes are provided for children when it is desired. Agent Parkman was examined, and after telling of the Investigation of the case he said the care of tae child would cost about $17 a year for three years, and it would be a charge upon the District for eight or nine years. Judge Miller, commenting on the case, said he thougist it was worthy of investiga- tion by the prosecuting attorney. These lying-In asylums are premiums on_ vice. The court has nothing to do with the ef- forts of the woman to hide her shame, but when the question of abandonment comes in, then there should be something done. Judge Miller characterized the case as a remarkable piece of business, and thought the law should punish all persons connected with it. The court said that the doctor had been very frank In admitting how he had assisted the woman to abandon her infant. The law, he said, contemplated caring for victims of poverty, and in this case there is no evidence as to whether the child is a victim of poverty or whether its parents are able to make proper provision for its care. way Company, notwithsian officer of one of its allied lines who took the action before Judge Simonton, will oppose the injunction when it comes up for hear- ing before the United States court at Spar- tanburg, S.
