GORMAN’S FRIENDS ARE DELIGHTED ses aE Another Side of the Story is Told, However. ee REPUBLICAN GANDIDATE te Correspondence of The Eventing Star. BALTIMORE, Md., June 9.—The resig- nation of Mr. I. Freeman Rasin from the democratic state “central com- mittee bas occasioned more gossip among the democrats, and brought their party into more prominence than it has eceupied since its downfali at the election of 1895. Although seven days have elapsed since the rctirement of the great city leader was first announced, the matter is still fresh in the minds of the regulars, and is likely to be discussed from every stand- point for some time to come. Opinion is very much divided as to what effect this action will have upon the future of the party, and no meeting of democrats, however casual, occurs without a debate upon this all-engrossing topic. Gorman’s Friends Delighted. The friends of Senator Gorman appear to be delighted at the occurrence, which they declare was brought about through their idoi’s great generalship, and will re- dound to the future advantage of the or- ganization. These gentlemen would make Mr. Rasin the sole scapegoat of all the offenscs laid to the firm of Gorman & Rasin for years past, and they say that the withdrawal of the latter will relieve the party of an incubus that has been growing heavier and heavier each campaign. Mr. Rasin is accused of having been treacherous to the party in the past, and of having acted with miserable judgmeat cn numberless occasions. His deal with Mr. John K. Cowen and the independents In 1893 and "M4 1s advanced as the most glaring illustration of his duplicity, and his forcing of the gubernatorial nomina- tion of Mr. John E. Hurst in 1895, con- trary to the wishes of Mr. Gorman, as an instance of blind and arrogant leadership. In fact, his detractors have numberless crimes to lay at his doors, and a stranger would leave them with the impression that a lofty and unselfish spirit has at length thrown aside a dangerous association with a contaminating monster that sought its ruin. a Never Popular in the County. Mr. Rasin has never been popular among the county democrats, and their satisfac- tion, on learning at the meeting of the State commiitee. of his withdrawal was very evident. His lack of address and blunt and overbearing manners during his several dictatorships at Annapolis were ex- tremely distasteful to them, and they are highly gratified at what they are pleased to consider his present “humiliating” posi- tion. Should the democracy be returned to power next fall the thought that “Rasin is out of it’ will greatly enhance their satisfaction. The younger city politicians are also pleased at his final exit, for as long as he was in power he held the center of the ge, to the complete exclusion of the youthful aspirants, and all too evident am- bitions were suppressed. Most of these are followers of City Councilman John J. Mahon, and believe that with Rasin out of the way. their own particular leader will step into his place. Another Side of the Story. There is another side to the story, how- ever, which appeals to those whoare anx- fous to see the democratic party triumph, and who are not partisans of any particu- lar leader. These men realize that Mr. Rasin’s retirement has left the machine without an organizer, and in a critically demoralized condition. They appreciate the ex-leader’s worth as a disciplinarian, and they are concerned over the forbidding prospect of developing a general strong enough to control the workers who fol- lowed the beck and call of Rasin. They fear unless some one of ability is dis- covered the old organization will go to pieces for want of a head. ‘The former leader's friends say that his withdrawal was the result of long consid- eration, and that Senator Gorman, instead of urging him to go, besought him to re- main. They say that he told the senator that he, too, had better withdraw, as he was otherwise bound to go down in defeat, and that he (Rasin) warned him to fore- stall the ignominy of a third and directly personal overthrow. He will, according to his intimates, still exert some influence, but only as a worker in the ranks, and his action, so his friends say, is final and en- tirely ‘spontaneous. Free Silver Democrats Dissatisfied. The genuine free silver democrats who attended Wednesday's meeting express great dissatisfaction that the “glorious principles” of the Chicago platform were entirely ignored in the resolutions adopted. The presence also of a number of members of the committee who were strongly sus- pected of having voted for Palmer or Mc- Kinley last year was vigorously resented $1.50 Manhattan Shirts Loeb & Hirsh Sale.

The complaints of this element fell upon unsympathetic ears, however, and finally subsided, and it: is likely that when the state convention as sembles on July 28, free silver oratory will again prove ineffectual. The incident goes to show how slight a hold the spirit of the Chicago platform has in Maryland, for no tormer meeting of the committee has been held after a national convention and ad- 3ourned without a formal allusion to the principles adopted at that convention. The Republican Condition, The condition of affairs in the republican party attracts a great deal of interest by reason of the spirited fight betw on Messrs. Malster and Supplee for the party nomina- tion for mayor. Since the resolutions in favor of “fair primaries” were adopted, the Malster men have been more than con- fident_of success, while the followers of Col. Supplee have felt it incumbent on them to redouble their efforts in his behalf. ‘The fact that the city organization, act- ing under the instructions of Senator’ Wel- Mngton and Chairman Stone, has decided to indorse Col. Supplee. makes his fate at the primaries of far greater importance than appears at a glance. The defeat of Col. Supplee wowd mean the overthrow of Chairman Stone and the present city com- mittee, and the retirement of Senator Wel- Mngton as chairman of the state central committee, as both committees are to be re-elected by: the convention, the personnel of which will be determined by the ap- proaching primaries. The anxiety of the machine for Supplee’s success, therefore, is very genuine, and his backing will be of the most energetic character. An Effort ax to Hooper. It is reported that an effort is under way to patch up the strained relations between Mayor Hooper and his opponents in the city hall, with a view of closing up that flaw in the party armor when the real work of the campaign commences. It is said that thé rebublican leaders are deter- mined that the administration of municipal affairs shall, be,indorsed, and that Mayor Hooper wiil be jnvited to take part in the contest. The mayor only smiles when the matter is mentibned to him, and in the meantime is! exerting himself to help the Malster people overthrow the Wellington- Stone combination. —— STAR GLEANINGS England granted’ 22,000 bicycle patents last year, : Yankee butter is 56 Mexico Citys Germany piilt_475 miles of railroad last year, urd now has 23,400 miles in all.
