THE SIXTH MARYLAND Close Observations in the Nearby Tongressional District PROTECTION IS THE MAIN ISSUE Railroad Men Inclined to Resent Official Intimidation. A REPUBLICAN STRONGHOLD ee Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. CUMBERLAND, Md., September 27, 1896. Notwithstanding that Allegany is a benner republican county of the sixth con- sressional district of Maryland, Mr. Bryan, when he visits Cumberland next Wednes- day, will receive an enthusiastic welcome from the railroad men ard employes of the mills and shops, who constitute 80 per cent of the city’s population. It will be enthu- silastic because it will be the occasion of the firing of the first heavy gun in the cam- paign in western Maryland, That cut of the enthusiasm will grow much political capital for Mr. Bryan's cause is doubted. The ccal miner is the important factor in the political situation ere, and he is a protectiorist, ana has had no time or incli- nation to study free silver doctrines. He has dempnstrated, to his own satisfaction at least, that a protective tariff on coal is what he wants, and he is for the candidate who will protect his interests. It will take more than one visit from Mr. Bryan to convince the coal mirers that it is to their interest to abandon protectionism for free silver. Here, as elsewhere in Maryland, a new registration is being held, and the slze of the republican majority depends largely on the fidelity with which the voiers register. The results of the registration thus far are satisfactory to the republicans fhe repub- lican majority in Allegany ranges trom 1,200 to 1,800. There have been some changes in the political views of adherents of both parties, and after hearing the claims of their respective leaders, I am inclined to believe that the net result will not make a material difference either way. It is claim- ed by the democrats that the farmers are with them this year, and a few names are given to prove the assertion. They are per- suaded that an advance in the price of sil- ver means an increase in the price of farm products. On the other hand, the republi- cams are conceded a number of new ad- herents among the merchants end city bus- incss men, who will vote for McKinley and scund money because they are satisfied that Bryanism means destruction of credits and a financial crisis which will overwhelm them. The majority of railroad men in this sec- tion are democrats, but from conversation with a number of them I find they are di- vided on tae silver issue, and many will vote the republican ticket. Most of them, however, resent the efforts made by the railroad officials to induce them to vote as they want them to. They say that the in- terest taken by the officers is based on a fear that if free silver prevails they will have to raise wages, rather than on the belief that the free-cotned silver dollar will be worth but 53 cents in purchasing power. This is the first impression caused by the circulars issued to railroad employes, and it may give place to a better understand- ing before the campa‘gn is over. The recent location here of construction and repair shops of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad has brought into the district many new voters, whose past political affiliations are not known, but if they all voted for Bryan the county would still be able to give McKinley and McDonald a handsome majority. F. B. OAKLAND, Md., September 27, 1896. Garrett county is looked upon as safe for from 40 to 500 republican majority, and has given Mr. Wellington 600, but the pew registration thus far shows that the republicans haye much to do this year if they expect to hold their own. The per- centage of the republican vote registered is very small. Oakland and other towns where the registration is full are demo- cratic. The farmers are busy now, and the registration precincts are far apart. Mr. Blair Lee, the democratic congressional candidate, has visited Garrett county and it is reported has left $1,000 to cover the legitimate expenses incident to getting the democratic vote registered. Such an amount will acccmplish much in that direc- tion, and, coupled with the favorable im- pression which Mr. Lee has created, means a full democratic vote. The republicans of the county fully realize the situation, and will make strenuous efforts to get the farmers from their plows long enough to register on one of the four days left for that purpose. Garrett is interested in wool and maple sugar, and the Cemocrats who depended on these products have never forgiven their party for lowering the tariff on one and repealing the bounty on the other. Here, as in other sections of western Maryland, free silver is not so much in evidence as an issue as free trade. F. B. —_.—__. Hotel Arrivals. Raleigh—J. V. Sloan and wife, W. R. Haremeit, G.

McKINLEY’S MAJORITY What It is Expected to Be in the State of New Jersey. Some Information as to the Probable Result in the Different Con- sBressional Districts. Speclal Correspondence of The Evening Star. CAPE MAY, N. J., September 25, 1896. ‘This has been a busy week among the politicians of the garden state, and the many things which have happened have smashed many a set of figures, and caused the revising of many a set of plans for the present campaign. The gold democrats have named a set of electors, and the sil- verites have kicked out of the state com- mittee all the members with golden princi- ples. Senator James Smith, jr., has re- signed definitely as state chairman and national committeeman, and his resigna- tion has been accepted, and two avowed silver men given the places he has vacated. This has given the republicans a renewed hope, and the prophets of that party are now predicting that New Jersey will give McKinley and Hobart from 40,000 to 60,000 plurality, while before the coming of the gold democratic electoral ticket in the field they were not so certain of more than 10,- vv plurality. The state at the last election cast 311,600 votes, of which 162,900 were for Griggs, republican candidate for gov- ernor; 136,000 for the democratic candi- date: 6,661 for the prohibitionist, only 1,901 for the populist, and 4,147 for the social- Istic-labor party. The vote for governor in 1892 was: Democratic, 167,257, and 159,632 for the republican candidate. The repub- licans gained last- year but 3,000 votes, while the democrats who failed to vote last year numbered 31,000. The Stny-at-Home Vote. The whole situation up to this week hinged on the question whether these 31,000 democratic voters who failed to vote last year for governor would come out and vote this year for Bryan. Last year it was a rebellion against an alleged state ring, led by Allen McDermott, now a gold candidate on a free silver platform for Congress from the seventh district, or Hudson county. The vote of 184 on Con- gress was about the same as last year, when the whole delegation of eight were eiected by the republicans. With the pos- sibility of this loss to the democrats comes the third electoral ticket, which means a division of the present strength of the democracy. The republican state cornmit- tee has been working hard in the face of all these, and have given no quarter to the enemy, while the democrats have done no practical work, because of the continued wrangling on their committee. As soon as the Chicago convention was over Senator Smith sailed for Europe, and, now that he has been back but a couple of weeks, has not helped matters. He resigned his na- tional committeeship last week, and the state committee tried to keep him in by refusing to accept his declaration. But he insisted, and on Thursday they acquiesced. He, it is said, does not object so much to Bryan as he does to filling up the state committee’s treasury out of his own private purse. The committee, it is said, does not mourn his loss so much as it does that of his pocket book, which has been freely opened in the campaigns just previous to his election as Senator and since that time. New Committeeman. The committee chose ex-State Senator Philip P. Baker national committeeman, and he is an ardent silver man, from a business standpoint.

In the fourth district the democrats have put up against Congressman Mahlon Pitney ex-Congre: man Augustus W. Cutter, who is an orig: inal silverite, a granger, and a popular man, having served in the Forty-fourth and Forty-fifth Congresses. A peculiar fignt has been started in the seventh district, which comprises Jersey City.

Upon the latter party making thes? nominations depends the question of ‘whether the ri publicans will have six or éight mem) of the state delegation in the Fifty-fiftt Congress. ———-—_ RATIFIED BY LOCAL POPULISTS. Bryan, Watson and the St, Louis Plat- fo Fully Approved. Bryan ard Watson andthe platform of the populist convéntion adopted ‘at St. Louis were ratified Saturday night by a mass meeting, largely attended by the members of the people’s party in the Dis- trict, which was held at Mechanics’ Hall. Rey. Dr. Alexander Kent, who was intr duced by Chairman E. M. Blake, made a lengthy address, in which he took issue with the arguments on the money question presented by ex-President Harrison, Mr. McKinley and cthers, and presented sta- Ustics in support of the arguments that the ratio of gold and silver was not affected by the preduction. Mr. John M. Devine of Nebraska also raade a speech, in which he declared that the present issue was between the users of money and the lenders of money. A committee consisting of Messrs. L. H. Stabler, E. J. Dakin, C. O. Cook, P. W. Gunckel, W. §. Lightborn, T. W. Boothe, J. W. Davidson, L. H. Lee and J. W. Withie was appointed to raise funds to send Dr. Kent on his speechmaking tour through the west. Resolutions indorsing Bryan and Watson and expressing the hope that the free silver parties would continue their efforts toward fusion until they were united in every state were unanimously passed. These resolutions expressed a recognition of the necessity for a union of the reform forces in the campaign, and a deprecation of everything tending to hinder such a unton. Believing that patriotism should rise above partisanship, those subscribing to the resolutions approved all efforts at honorable fusion on electoral tickets, and expressed the hope that the various com- mittees of the people’s, democratic and sil- ver parties may continue their efforts in this direction till the reform forces are united in every state. The resolutions fur- tker express the “unbounded love and ad- ration” of those present at the meeting ‘for that grand tribune of the people, Will- jam J. Bryan,” their unreserved commen- dation of “the heroic efforts he is now making to spread truth, expose hypocrisy and triumph over organized greed in this campaign,” and they call upon all who love their country to rally to his support with their influerce, their means and their ballots. After calling attention to “the intimida- ticn of the wage carners by the aggrega- tions of inflated capital, with the view of preventing them in the free use of the bal- lot, their only weapon of defense agaiyst those who would oppress them,” the reso- lutions continue: “We believe the time has arrived when it is a serious question whether the people, the creator, shall be sovereign, or whether the corporations, which are the creatures of the people, shall rule—therefore, we, the people’s party of the District of Columbia, most unhesitatingly take the side of the pecplorin as contest." orthy Foreman M.

SOME SENSATIONAL CHANGES MADE The Democrats May, However, Control the Legislature. CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS —__+—__—__ Sycelal Correspondence of The Evening Star. INDIANAPOLIS, September 24, 1896. Kaleidoscopic changes in politics have about ceased in Indiana for this campaign, and matters have settled down to a hard, steady pull for the mastery, the silent vote being the uncertain quantity, and the quantity both parties are pulling after. For the first few weeks after the Chicago echvention the changes were on the sen- saticnal order. Republicans who had al- ways been among the stalwarts came out for Bryan, while life-long democrats an- nourced that for the time being they had abardored their party. Every morning the papers were filled with cards from tho: thus changing their political connections. Now what cards appear are simply of an explaratory nature. The changes were not corfined to the rank and file, but embraced those who had been leaders, some of them havirg served with high distinction in Congress. The campaign from the very cutset promised to be sensational, and up to the present time it has fulfilled all ex- pectaticr s. Of course, the committees and party or- gars on both sides are setting up claims to the earth and the fullness thereof, such claims being regarded as being due to their party allegiance. A stranger would be puzzled to determine anything about the situation from the party papers, in fact, up to within a very sho: would have puzzled the correctly diagnose the situation. Reports Colored. The political newsgatherers for the pa- pers have known from week to week pret- ty nearly how matters stood, but most of them work for party organs and have be2a required to cast up the summary at the end of each week to suit the politics of the paper. Then, too, changes were being made so rapidly at one time that ro one cotld formulate anything like a respecta- ble guess as to how it would stand ‘o- vember. Had the election taken place within two weeks after the Chicago con- vention Mr. McKiniey would have been badly worsted in this state. It uld have been a reversal of the land: of two ars ago. The free silver republicans be- fan to catch the full drift of the Chicago platform, and they staried back to the repvblican camp in droves. Then followed the breaking away of the sound money democrats, until it looked for awhile as if the whole state was going over to Me- Kinley in a body. A full state ticket is to be elected, but in the contest between Bryan nd Mc- Kinley it has been lost sight of except by the candidates themselves. So completely has it been lost to sight that it is hard to find a man who can tell the names of the candidates of his party. No one, on either side, seems to care anything about the state ticket, or to take it into considera- ticn. There is one part of the ticket, how- ever, that the democrats have not lost sight of, and that is the legislati Two years ago was the first time since 1872 that the republicans have controlled both branches of the state legislature. A Sena- tor is to be elected, and the democrats have been putting forth the most strenuous ef- forts to save the legislature. Liquor League. In this they are materially assisted by the State Liquor League. Two years ago the republicans remodeled the laws in re- ‘straint of the liquor traffic, and succeeded in driving about 700 saloons out of busi- ness. This has been resented by the league, and it has taken hold of the legislative campaign in earnest. The democrats start- ed into the fight having a very decided advantage in the districting of the state, which was partly offset by the republican Majority of hold-over senators. With the Uctive assistance of the league and through the lack of interest exhibited by the re- publicans, the democrats expect to control on joint ballot and elect the successor of Mr. Voorhe In some of the counties there has been a fusion between the populists and the dem- ocrats on tho legislative ticket, and the fusion is likely to cost the republicans a few members of the house, and possibly one or two senators. Owing to this peculiar condition the state may give 40,000 plural- ity for McKinley and yet the democrats be able to elect a Senator. Never before did just such a condition prevail. Notwithstanding democratic claims, there is no good reason to doubt the re-election of Congressmen Johnson, Overstreet, Faris, Henry, Steele and Reyce, and to these will be added Landis, republican, in the ninth, and Crumpacker in the tenth. The chances are largely in favor of the republicans ri electing Hemenway in the first and Leighty in the twelfth, and adding Sulzer in thi fourth. In fact, the election of Sulzer practically assured. The sound money democrats decided to put up candidates in each of the districts, but it has been de- termined not to do so in the first, fourth and twelfth, as such a course might result in letting the free silver candidate slip in. The sound money democrats are very strong in each one of those districts, and if 40 per cent of them vote for the republican candidate he will be elected. In the Districts. In the sixth district the democrats have taken off their nominee and united on the populist candidate in the hope of defeating Mr.Johnson, but as he has a reliable repub- lican majority over the combined vote of the democrats and populists of about 4,000 it is hardly likely that his defeat will be compassed. The ninth district is one of the republican districts of the state, and there the democrats and populists united in nominating ex-Congressman Cheadle, a free silver republican, but go many old-time democrats have declared against him as to practically put him out of the race. All the regular republican districts will give largely increased majorities over those of two years ago in the same counties. The majerities in the sixth and ninth will not be as large as the candidates received two years ago, owing to changes in the make- up of the districts. A careful and fair estimate of the situa- ation as it stands at present is that McKin- ley’s plurality in the state will be fully as large as was that of the republicans two years ago, and it may be much larger. The loss through free silver republicans going to Bryan will not reach 30 per cent of what was estimated a month ago. This loss will be more than made good by the gains from the sound money democrats who will open- ly vote the republican ticket, while Paimer will get at least 10,000 votes which will be a direct loss to Bryan. The manufacturing centers are much more distinctly for the re- publicans than they were two years ago, while the gains among the railroad men will count up into the thousands. Railroad Men. Never before have the railroad men taken so great an interest in an election, and they are practically united for McKinley. The only danger the republicans have had to contend with for some weeks has been among the farmers, but if the number of free silver republicans among that class should be 100 per cent greater than it is believed to be, still McKinley’s plurality will go nearly 40,000. The number of new voters in the state will be quite large, and it is mostly in favor of the republicans, ‘There may be great changes before the elec- tion, but in the divided condition of the democracy it is not possible for them to rally sufficiently to overcome the present republican strength. Owing to the present method of voting Mr. McKinley might carry the state by a sefe plurality and yet the democratic state ticket succeed. Two separate ballots are now voted, in different boxes. The sound money democrats have no state ticket in the field, and most of them might have voted the regular ticket of the party, had the Bryan managers acted with any polit- ical wisdom, but they have antagonized the gold men at every point, denouncing them as bolters, and reading them out of the “INDEX TO ADVERTISEMENTS. | AMUSEMENTS ATTORNEYS AUCTION SALB: BOARDING BR COUNTRY BOARD..

The Plainly Expressed Purpose of - Candidate Bryan, From Good Government. Mr. Bryan's purpose to loot the civil service in the event of his election is stated officially in his letter of acceptance. His announcement on the subject is as follows: “That the American people are not in favor of life tenure in the civil service is evident from the fact that they, as a rule, make frequent changes in their official representatives when those representatives are chosen by ballot. A permanent office holding class is not in harmony with our institutions. A fixed term in appointive offices, except where the federal Constitu- tion now provides otherwise, would open the public service to a larger number of citizers, without impairing its efficiency. To Loor The civil service law requires that when- ever vacancies in subordinate places are to be filled, the persons selected for ap- pointment shall be those whose relative fit- s has been ascertained through competi- tive examination. As the appointing officer is not permitted to make his own selec- tions, either for political or personal re: sons, the temptation to create vacancies is largely removed. This is the only way in which the law protects the employe. It has become the custom, now that removals for political reasons may not be followed by appointments fer reasons of the same sort, to allow the public servant to remain undisturbed so long as his work is pcr- formed well and faithfully. Thus the just and essentially American custom of merit tenure has been developed. It is not a creation of either rule or law, and, such as it is, depends for continuance on the personal disposition of department heads. There is no life tenure “being built up at Washington,” or anything approaching it. When Mr. Bryan makes statements of this sort—generally to people who are not in a position to know better—he is guilty, at least, of conspicuous inaccuracy. His assertion that “a fixed term In ap pointive offices would open the public ser- vice to a larger number of citizens without impairing its efficiency” may be a mere matter of judzment. There arc, however. very few people of intelligence who will agree with him. By “fixed terms” Mr. Bryan means the turning out every four | years of every person in the public service. He make3 no distinctions. His rule would permit none. Letter carriers, customs offi- cers, department clerks, the great corps of scientine investigators employed by the government, men and women alike, all are to go; their places to be filled by others, whose fitness is to be ascertaines some new meihod, unnamed as yet, but not un- conjectured. The mere continuance of a in power through two or three ad- tions is to make no difference. The plan in view calls for periodical change, and the waiting thousands must have their turn. Every four years 201,110 old em- ployes must make way for the same num- ber of new ones; or, perhaps for double the number of new ones, for there are one hun- dred times 244), full-grown citizens in the land, and if all are to receive their rights under Mr. Bryan’s system the supply of offices must be increased indefinitely. The proposition that a vast body of trained employes may be dismissed periodi- cally, and the service be reorganized every four years, with new officers and new sub- ordinates, alike untrained, “without im- pairing its efficiency,” is laid down by a man who seeks to direct the business affairs of the nation. Were Mr. Bryan elected to the presidency, the destruction of the business organization of the government and the looting of the public service would begin at once. This, very plainly, is the present danger, and a very great one. “APENTA” HE BEST NATURAL APERIENT WATER. SPRINGS, Buda Pest, Hungary.
