State Treasurer Gittings.-The Annapolis
Republican of last week contains an interesting
sketch of John S. Cuttings, Esq, of Baltimore
county, the present Treasurer of Maryland, who
was appointed to that Office by Gov. McLane to
e III
who was last fall elected to Congress. The Re
publican, after referring to the important duties
of the office, says:
"Mr. Cuttings was born in Baltimore on Octo-
Der goth, 1S47. He is therefore comparatively a
young man. From 1851 to 1863 he was q stu
dent at the Agricultural College in Prince Georges
county. He then entered st. Johns College,
Oxford, England, where he remained seven years,
acqui!ting himself with credit and obtaining a
thorough education. In 1870 he returned to Bal
timore and became q clerk in the Chesapeake
Bank, of which his grandfather, John S. Cuttings,
ESQ.,, was then president. In 1877 he was elect
ed vice-president of the bank, and upon the death
of his grandfather in 1880, he succeeded to the
presidency. His business attachments have been
regarded as extraordinary. He has long ranked
high among business men as shrewd and COM
petent manager as well as highly honorable
and entirely reliable man. He was married in
1877 to a daughter of Henry May, Esq, and is q
man of family.
GIN 1882 he represented Baltimore county in
the Legislature, when as chairman of the Ways
and Means Committee he discharged his duties
with great credit to himself and rendered valua-
BILE service to the State and to his constituency.
He has also been engaged in various other useful
business enterprises and has always taken an ac-
tive interest in State politics.
ellis services rendered in the Treasury depart
ment have been, without exception, valuable His
duties there have been faithfully discharged, and
when his term of Office shall expire, no one can
be named who will fill the Office more acceptably.
The efficiency which has marked his present term
signally makes him a most suitable and popular
candidate for reelection. The weight of his char
acter and influence do honor to the State and the
department which he represents. The Hon. John
S. Cuttings can hardly find competitor before
the next Legislature that will surpass him in quail
ifcatons for the Office of Treasurer of the State of
Maryland"
