It a plain and declaration principle-) and will be approved bv every Democratic voter tn the District: heartily indor-e the nomination of the great Democratic leader, Willian Jcnning- Brian, for President, nnd fo him and his sterling ai-ociale, John Kern, for President, we earnest!) and confidently urge a united and mili tant party support in the approaching national cnnte-t. It is only by an abandonment of the present dangeroiib am: revolutionary doctrines of Republican, ism and a return to the fundamental tenets of Democratic faith nspronounccc in the Denver platform that this Government can be preserved as a government and administered in all its department; according to the Jcfferson- ian maxim of 'Kjual rights to all and special privileges to commend to the fullest extent the able, upright and i administration of our State affairs under Governor Austin I- Crother-, and other State officials chosen as representatives of the Democratic party. '1 he great program of civic advancement and national progress inaugurated by the Incentive, in conjunction with a Democratic Legislature, will certainly be of laMiny benefit to Maryland; and the high standard of public service which the whole administration has given, is a convincing pioof that the Democratic party, constituting as it does, a large majority of the taxpayers aud people of intelligence, is the party best fitted to select representatives of the Slate in tlie national as well as the local gov- eminent "The security of the rights of the pie nnd a sound ptlblic sentiment mnnd thnt corruption til politics shall cease, and that the suffrage of the people shall be kept uncontaminatcd by the venal influence of corporations or individuals who seek political control through the corrupting power of great wealth, and not by the advocacy of honest prin- ciplcc. In furtherance and supportofthat sentiment, we unreservedly indorse the enactment into law of the stringent Corrupt Practices Act now upon the statute books of Maryland; we pledge our party to a strict adhcrancc to its provisions, and we call on all cituens to aid in its rigid enforcement." DEMOCRATIC OUTLOOK BRIGHT. S.

S. Field, of Baltimore, who ha- made a careful Mwly of the political cnndhinns of the country, thinks that while the chances of Democratic success in New York, Illinois and Ohio are as good as that of thu ilr. can without any of them. Mr. Field puts the following States in thu Democratic column: The solid South including Maryland other name will be mentioned.

In the event of his refusal to make the fight, an effort would be made to nominate his son, William P. Jackson, the new national committeernan. "RISE BY RESISTANCE." "There is no way to rise on says a writer in the Sunday School Times, "except by resistance. It has been pointed out that every stairway is nothing but a scries of obstacles, each one of which must be overcome singly, if we would let that stairway serve its purpose and bring us to the top. So with everything in life that seems to oppose us, bear us down or call halt It is not only an opportunity for going ahead, but there would be no way for making gains without these helpful resistances." The easy way then is not the progressive way.

With no obstacles to surmount, no opposition to encounter, no hindrances to overcome, life weuld lack inspiration, and a feeble, undeveloped body, mind and character would be the result. "A world in which there were no labors to be accomplished, no burdens to be borne, no storms to be endured, would be a world without true and Oklahoma 166 i joy, honest pleasure, or noble aspiration. Western States carried by Uryan in It would be a fool's paradise." 1896 Indiana 15 California 10 Wisconsin 13 Virginia 7 Total 259 Mr. FiekN thus shows that Mr. liryan i have seventeen electoral voles to spare.

Continuing he says: "All the Press dispatches place Indiana in the doubtful column, and someof them concede it to tlie Democracy. Wisconsin i- given to Uryan in thi- column, because all the reforms advocated bv Li Follctte were turned doim by the Republican Convention and adopted by the Democratic Convention, and became Wisconsin went Democratic in 189.2. "California is given to Hryan, because it was very close in 1896, and the plank against Asiatic immigration in the Democratic platform ought to make California safe for Democracy. "West Virginia ib given to Jlryan be- cau-e it i- a fairly debatable State, and because of the fact lltat there are two Republican candidates for Governor, showing a division in that party that ought to insure the State for liryan. "In making calculations about the States west of the too, it ought to be borne in mind that the Democratic party i- apparently entirely united, all tho-e who oppo-ed liryan having comeback into the and the Republican party ws-t of the Alleghanies is divided, and the Democratic party has a reasonable, prospect of carrying the States carried by Cleveland in 1892, and aNo the Stato carried Ijyllrj in in 1896.

"I have placed Maryland in the Democratic column because from the information 1 have received since my return from Denver thu Democratic defection is very much Ie-, in numbers nnd in feeling than it was in iSij6 or 1900; in fact, ap- paientlyout-kle oHS.ihiinorc- city and Ual- timorc countv they all have come back, and i there arc a considerable number of men of large means in Baltimore and county who supported Crothcrs who i not support my information is that there i be a greater bcr of Republicans will vote for ISryan. "Not a day has passed sjncc my return but that a number of He-publicans have been reported to me as being for Ilrvan. As a rule they mechanics, but there are amonj; them business men. Up to this time, certainly so f.ir a- the interviews in the papers arc concerned, there are not one-tenth as many Democrats against ISryan as there were in or 1900, and who have come out against him have not indulged i bitternc-s which was characteristic of the opposition to him when he r.m before." the Practices Actl I'rum the ll.iltiiuurc Sun. The slogan of the First district Demo- crati of "Enforce the Corrupt Practices An" ha- met with prompt response.

'lho-e uill take a leading part in the fight this fall -ay that it Mill be the clean- c-t campaign made on the Eastern Shore. Mr. Covingtotv has promised personally and pledged himself to a rigid enforcement and an absolute adherence to the letter, as as the spirit, of the law. He declared that not only will he not spend any money in the campaign, except for legitimate purposes allowed by the act, but he will not permit any of hi- friends cither in his oun or any other county, to put up money to buy votes. Moreoier, Mr.

Covington and Democratic leaders in the counties arc determined that the opposition shall not violate the law. They know that "Uncle Bill" Jack-on has in former campaigns put an amount of money in the district that was-o enormous as to make it impossible for the Democrats to cope with it. Through this money, they claim, Mr. Jackson has been twice elected to Congrc-is, and they are determined that his money alone shall not put him there again. Mr.

Covington proposes to ask the assistance of every State's Attorney on the Eastern Shore in enforcing Ihe Corrupt Practices Act, and those who know conditions know that if the State's Attorney really in earnest about enforcing a law of this kind he can do it The Republicans hold iheir convention in this district August 6 at Ocean City and nearly everybody expects Congressman William H. Jackson to be re- nominated. There are a few, however, who believe that because of the situation -md because of the Corrupt Practices Act "Uncle Bill" may decide at the last minute that he would rather have someone else run. His friends say that Mr. ackson has never sought the nomination this district, but that the nomination las always sought him.

He Las always, hey say, been reluctant to run, and is so his time. The convention will, it is cnown, give him the nomination on a ilvcr platter if he will accept, and no Physical resistance develops the muscles of the body and adds physical grace and strength to the man. Mental growth and power come by encountering and solving the problems of life; and moral strength is developed by resisting that which is evil. "Virtue may only grow from innocence Through a great struggle ith opposing ill." There is something being wrought out in the man who resists. "Man is a doer," says one writer; "but everylime he does anything an effect is wrought on or in him as a man.

The boy chopped wood consciously and intentionally. Un- thought of by the boy, God gives him fc'newy arms, strong back, big lungs and health." This is physical progress by resistance. There is a reactive benefit in hard labor. And so in the mental Reid; the benefit is in proportion to the obstacles overcome. Shall it not be true also in the moral and spiritual life, that strength of character and spiritual power come by resisting evil, in whatever way that evil may present itself? J.

G. Holland thus forcibly portrays the benefit that comes to the struggling youth in his contest with poverty and its attendant see a youth whom God has crowned with power And cursed with poverty. With bravest heart He struggles with his lot through toilsome to his task by daily want of bread, And kept to virtue by his daily fire that fills him smitten from a strength that arms him wrested from a stands at last, a master of himself, And in that grace a master of his kind." When once this lesson of progress by resistance is fully learned then can we look complacently at the ills of life--the hard struggles, the straightened places, the apparent hindrances to our plans, the elusive hopes, the antagonisms, and all the stress and strain that make demands upon our physical, mental and moral powers, knowing how nil can be made to react for our good if in each department of our being these ills are met i the resistance by which we rise. Thcr can we understand God's purpose in his testings, and never think it strange when the trial of our faith comes, realizing that it is but necessary to our growth in grace and in the knowledge of him by whose wisdom the powers of his creatures are thus brought into action and perfected. It is but trite to remark that all great characters have been the result of adverse conditions bravely met and conquered.

Names come ready to our mind that might be cited as examples of this truth. Is it not for this reason that God has chosen his people in the furnace of affliction, where, by being properly exercised by the trials they encounter, they may attain the highest degree of Christian development? It is this principle of rising resistance that explains the hard struggle the church has had through the centuries of the past, the opposition that every movement forward encounters that must be resisted and overcome. But head winds help the mariner on his way, if they arc not too strong, and God has declared thnt no trial shall be bcjond our strength to endure, and with every victory will come augmented powers of holy resistance, because of God-given strength. "We may win by toil Endurance; saintly fortitude by pain; Hy sickness, patience; faith and trust by fear; Hut the great stimulus that spurs to life, And crowds to generous development Each chastened power and passion of the soul, Is the temptation of the soul to sin, Resisted and re-conquered, evermore." Let us, then, not yield supinely to trials, temptations, oppositions, or any adverse conditions, but win victories in the name of Jesus, the Conqueror of every of Life and of the Coming Kingdom.
