In Strong Speech Maryland Senator
Warns Roosevelt That Whites
Intend To Dominate United
States—Predicts Defeat
of Republicans.
Baltimore. October 30-—At a democratic
mass meeting held tonight at the close
of the campaign, .speeches were made by
Edwin \\ .1 iib ld, the candidate for gov
ernor. and a number of leading demo
crats. including United Stab's Senator A.
I’. Gorman. An immense crowd was pres
ent and tile speaking was preceded fry
stereopticon views illustrating the asso
ciation of white and negro delegates at
the l i e republican convention. The im
portant address of th ft evening was that
of Senator Gorman, who in addition to
his d\ ".-.icy of the state ticket and his
excoriation of the republicans, referred
to President Roosevelt and the race issue
as follows;
Gorman on Roosevelt.
"I have a great respect for the presi
dent. He ought not to ba lightly or un
justly criticised. But lovers of liberty
must enter the r earnest protest when
ever :gh officers of the government ex
ei powers or eonuutt nets which tend
to r< rriet the right* of the people or
unduly interfere in matters of state con
cern.
"President Roosevelt Is a man of tine
a: ■ ainments end of honest convictions
He Is young in years. Impulsive, ambi
tious, is a partisan and believes in bls
party. In his anxiety for its success, he
Is liable to make mistakes, and, in my
judgment, 1 • has committed a most
grievous error in forcing to the front an
is- .ie which must be di plored by all the
consei varive men of th. country
du very country wl. c the race issue
has risen it has always carried in its
wake l.im ntable results and has been
attended by evil consequences. 1 trust
his earnestness and impetuosity may be

vailed upon to a.: opt wiser counsel In
bls treatment of the negro problem.
“From the day a cargo of
Africans was landed and sold as
sieves until this hour, the bur
den of the white men of this country
has greater than that borne by any

White Race Will Dominate.
"The Anglo-Saxon has never, and
will never, tolerate the social equal
ity or the political domination of the
negro race. The south has passed
through scenes of turbulence and dis
order . I rape and riot. By amend
ments to state constitutions and by
legislation the whites have secured
control, for time being, of their
own local governments, and the col

"In 1896 William McKinley was elected
■ president of the United States. During
I his service in congress he had favored
the most drastic legislation proposed by
his party in their efforts to enforce the
■ constitutional provisions. As president
of the United States he realized the re
sponsibilities of his exalted position, lie
began ills term when the country was
emerging from the throes of a great
commercial panic. All the business in-
' terests of the north were depressed tic
I wheels of industry were scari-elj, revolv
! ing. The south was struggling with its
i negro problem; its fields but half eultiva
: I -ted; Its manufactures at the lowest ebb;
, I Its mines and forests undeveloped. These
conditions were principally du ■ to the
great pall that hung over that section
• ’ and made development and progress im-
. possible.
"While President McKinley kept
his party obligations as fully as any
man, he ceased making partisan war
upon the people of the south. But
' that people removed, at least tempo
; rarily, the incubus that oppressed
; them. The action of the states was
> sustained by the courts and confi
dence was restored. The old and
1 young men of the south took on new
life. Development and progress re-
; suited both north and south, until
; the stream of prosperity and enter-
I prise was flowing from one end of
I the land to the other.
McKinley Killed Sectionalism.
■'ln the Interest of humanity, the gov-
| ernment of the United Statis determined

■ In response to the pre.-ident’s ‘all t
men of the south and the north and
the <ast and the west volunteer' d. Sec
tionalism and party were obliterated. Our
[ army was organized and General ‘Miles.
i of Massachusetts; General Tx'e. of Vir-
l ginia; Generals Si.after and Joe Wh-Her
, I wore given important commands. Every
i section Os the country was brought to
: get her in the interest of the union no

i , A little more than two years have
t elapsed since that deplorable tragedy at
! • Buffalo which deprived the nation of a
great president. Mr Roosevelt suceecd
.j ed t-» the presidency. In his anxiety to
. I be ( >nstantly doing something Tie has
j , made mistakes. 1 believe of him. as I
l have believed of all presidents, that he is
• | sincere and patriotic. But. every man in
. public position is liable to mistake -. None
. could Ik* more serious than the on** made
. , by him in his attempt to force again to

Washingn n, Oetob r 28.—Advices re

has been a change in the sentiment of
the Colombian senate respecting the Pan

able increase of the strength of the ele
ment which is willing to make terms with
the United States.
The agents of the state department,
have found it difficult to make ydain the
fact, even to tile Colombians, that the
Hay llerran canal treaty is absolutely
and finally dead, and that no action of the

there Is to be anything done in the dl

none such have been Instituted.
MORGAN IS REACHING
FOR SEABOARD SYSTEM
Norfolk, Vi., October 28.—(Special.)—A.
B. Xndrews. vice president of flic South
ern Railwax Company, and James N.
Barr vice president, and general manager
of the Seaboard Air Line Railway, had a
long private conference at the Monticello
hotel, and various are the surmises as to
what Is In the wind. It Is believed that
the conference was in regard to the possi
ble acquisition of the control of the Sea
board system by the Southern or by in
terests allied with the house of J. P. Mor
gan & Co.
It has been reported within the past day
or so that the committee who are en
deavoring to adjust the financial difficul
ties of Me-srs. John 1.. Williams A- Sons,
of Richmond, and J. W. Middemiorf, of
Baltimore, have received two or more

held by these firms, and it is conjectured
that the Morgan interests may In- of
these.
While it is impossible to obtain any

By Jos: Ohl.
Washington, D. C., October 29.—(Spe
i dal.) -The resignation of Hon. Perry
l Heath as secretary of the republican na
tional committee will, in all probability,
be presented to the committee when it
meets in this city early in December. It.
Is possible, thought not certain, that Scn-
I ator Hanna will sever his active chair
manship at the same time.
i it is certain as anything can be that
Senator Hanna will not condu t the next
presidential campaign for his party. Pres
ident R'losevclt would very much like to
iiav. him serve ..; the a. two campaign
manager and has so * xpressed himself,
for 'he has the highest respect for his
ability in that direction; but the Ohioan
has been through two ca (ipa gns and
I that is enough for any man.
I hiring the session of congress last wln-
I ter Senator Ilnnta made it positive in
his t ill; with friends that* he would
not consent to act as national chairman
again. At that time there were reports of
his Intention of resigning from the com
mittee at an early date. 11. denied this
phase of tin? talk, showing that as there
, is nothing for a chairman to do between
elections it would b* the natural thing
for him to hold on until his successor
was i-Xoscn in the retular order of things;
hut he did mak, it Main that no matter
how badly he might be wanted, he would
: not go through , 'her campaign.
Payne Now Impossible.
It was after this that Postmaster
General Payne loomed up in the eyes of
the politicians as the natural successor
to Hanna as chairman. That was before
the postal scandals had developed.
Payne, who Is vice chairman of the na
tional committee, had been taken into
the cal’inel solely because of his supposed
polltie,ii ability. From the time he first
became a member of the president s offi
cial household everybody understood that
he was ask'd into the cabinet to become
,111 c administration politician fn-ehiet. and
it was fully expected that when Hanna
went out. Payne would step into the na
tion..! committee leadership. .
And so he would had notithe postal
scandals left a slimy trull upon his ad
mini -• i n lion of his department. Had
Bayne gone into the investigation busi
wlth i his heart when Mu rotten
iic.es first developed had lie put up the.
l ime bluff that others have, instead of
attempting to throw cold water upon the
idea of an investigation he would still
have I available for the committee
chairmanship; but Pi sidcnl Roosevelt
his mad.- ii plain to his friends that
now it would under no circumstances do
to lei the h.i 'd of the postofliee depart
ment hold the responsible position which
Chairman Hanna will vacate.
Line Drawn at. Heath.
Even more strongly has the president
drawn the line against Secretary Ferry
Heath, who "must go.” The statute of
limitations may serve as ft convenient
hiding place to give Mr. Heath protection
i from prosecution for alleged particlpa-
I tion in the rascalities which became ram-
■ pant under his administration of that
portion of the department over which
he presided, but President Roosevelt is
decidedly of the opinion that it will never
do for Ills party to go into a campaign
under the active I" idershlp of a. man who
behind that Statute. While it often may
can be charged with having to seek refuge
unj . t i ie fact is that a plea for pro
tection under the statute of limitations—
especially on the part of a public official—
is regarded as little Better than a plea of
“guilli," and for the republican campaign
to be conducted under the supervision of
Mr. Ibath as secretary would, in Frest
! dent Roosevelt's opinion, be fatal.
Hs has accordingly decided that Heath
■ I must get down and out. If the latter
■ does not submit Ids resignation at the
first meeting of the national committee,
■ means will in all probability be found
' to force him out. Certainly he will not,
under any circumstances, be permitted to
si-rve in' this or any other responsible
• capacity through the campaign of next
The slime of this postoffice scandal is
spread too deeply over this administra
tion to admit of the presence in active
political rnanapromeDt of Meath or J.ijnt.
Crane or Lodge.
One of two men will In all probability
be chosen chairman, both of them very
close to President Roosevelt.
It is the universal custom to leave the
' chalramn to lie named by the presiden
tial candidate, and Roosevelt will ask
• either former Governor Murray Crane, of
1 Miissachusetts. or Si nator Dodge, of the
same state, to serve in that capacity.
■ He would prefer laodge, but the senator
may not consent. Crane is very close
to both Roosevelt and Lodge, belongs to
their political school, is a man of wealth
and of political aoumen and is generally
regarded here as the most available man
In sight for the national chairmanship.
If he Is chosen, some western man will
be selected as vice chairman, and head-
■ quarters will be opened in both New-
York and Chicago to please both the
e-i.-t'in and western wings of the party.
With either ('rune or Lodge as ehair-
I man the most probable secretary would
lie Louis A. i’oolidge, one of the most
promiiient newspaper correspondents here
in Washington, a man who has had a
close acquaintance with political condi
? tions and practical politics )n both New-
York and New England.
