a'the Democratic stronghold. A very small Dem
oeraic meeting was held there a few nights ago
and among the speakers was boss German. who
made McLane the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor. During Mr.. Gormans speech he struck an
attitude and asked "who Is this Hart u. Holton
who wants TO be Governor Of the fair State Of
Marylandl" Immediately n Democrat, In the
crowd proposed "ihree cheers for IIol,on." and
they were given with spirit This answer stag
sered Boss Gorman aud when he recovered his
composnfS he said: "Is I; possible tba, there is
a man in this audience who would vote for Hart
u. iIol,on'" The answer camc from n weli-known
Democrat. "Ye.. am going to vote for him hur.
rah for Hart d. lIolton." This entirely non
piussed the Boss and almost had the effect Of
breaking up the meeting. lIolton will receive
