Arthur Z. German does not belong to any
one Of tho old Maryland families, for 1t was
not TIL the year 1900 that his grandfather,
john GOrman, came from Ireland to America,
settling first In Pennsylvania, near HARRIS
burg, but afterwards removing to Baltimore.
On his mothers side he s descended from
the family OF Samuel Brown OF English
blood, who settled In this country before the
Revolution, and took part in that war. Mr..
Gorman's father Peter Gorman, WAS
farmer, and q large contractor on tho Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad when II was building,

large acquaintance with public men. The

cational advantages as the public schools Of
Howard county can supply, and at the early
age OF thirteen he was appointed page In
the Senate through the Influence OF Judge
Hammond, then u member of the House 0f
Representatives. the youth was bright. ac-
tive and obliging, and attracted The notice OF
Stephen A. Douglas, Of Illinois, who eyentu-
ally made him his secretary and confidential
friend. Young German lived In the great
Senator's house and accom- panied him on all
his eiectloneering tours, Including the famous
stumping tour against Lincoln when they
were contesting the Illinois oenatorshtp. Mr..
German was familiar with all the political In
trigueS Of that day: his "reminiscences OF the

took place he, like Douglass followers gen.
orally, supported the forcble suppression OF
the rebellion. He remained In the service OF
the Senate. advancing from one post to an
other, until he held the position OF postmas~
ter. When President Johnson broke with the

made himself 30 active In opposing the Inn
