FORSAKEN MARGERY.
A Pretty SOubrette Deserted by
Her Husband.

When the Hustler Theatrical Company
came to this city last summer, one OF its
brightest members was Margery Wilson, a
pretty soubrette, who had kicked her way
into popular favor on every stage west OF
New York.
The piece was billed for the California,
but Margery never trod its boards. her
place being supplied by San Francisco
girl named Bella Harlz. who afterward
accompanied the company on their return
trip to the East.
Margery never rejoined the Hustler Com
pany. Her detection was due to the bland
ishments of San Francisco young man,
who represented himself as wealthy and eX
tremely DESTROYS of taking care of her.
They we're married in due form, much to
the displeasure of the gro0m's relatives,
who did not extend warm welcome to the
charming young variety actress who had be-
come member of the family.
The bridal pair started East, largely to
avoid parental reproaches. They visited
Denver and st. Louis, and at the latter
place the tickle husband unable to with
stand the entreates of his family, deserted
his bride before the honeymoon had waned.
Margery returned to Denver, where she is
now dOmiciled in private clearinghouse.
Her qnondam husband returned to this city,
and although she has written him several
letters she has received no reply. She is said
to be absolutely penniless and dependent
upon remittances from her sister, Mollie
Thompson, who is now with the Hustler
Company, playing in Eastern cities.

The Democratic advocate. [volume] (Westminster, Md.) 1865-1972, 1891-05-16
Baltimore City's Position.

There are shrewd politicians to be found
who think the nomination for governor on
Democratic ticket depends to a great extent
upon how Baltimore City votes in the con-
vention, as it is to the city that the party
must look mainly for its majority at the general
Observation-Disclosures Herald.
Baltimore city's vote, notwithstanding the
views of ''shrewd politicians will not deter
mine the nominee in the next convention,
nor is it to the city that the party must look
mainly for its majority. A glance at the
returns for governor will show that in 1879,
Hamilton received II 1863 majority outside of
Baltimore; Mcl4ane, in 1888, 4, pa; jackson,
in 1888, 1866. In 1876; Tilden, for Presi-
dent, carried 3Iaryland, outside of Baltimore,
by 1868; Hancock, in 1880, by 1885,; Cleve-
land, in 1884, by 5,414; Cleveland, in 1888,
by !, I37. In 1889, for Comptroller, Baugh-
man lead Wellington, outside of Baltimore,
by 1850 votes, and on the Congressional
vote in 1890, the Democratic majority out
side of Baltimore, was 1873. Thus, in the
gubernatoral contests of 1879, 1888 and 1887,
the Democrats carried the state independent
of Baltimore city They did the same in the
presidential contests of 1876, 1880, 1884 and
1888; and they carried the state outside of
Baltimore in 1889 for Comptroller and on
the Congressional vote of 1890. In the nine
elections here noted the average majority for
the Democratic ticket, outside of Baltimore,
was 5.51S.
But Il little more than one. third of the
Demo cratic vote of the state is in Baltimore,
aud it would be the tail wagging the dog for
the party there TO name the candidate. The
city's twenty.one votes in the nominating
convention, if cast solidly for candidate,
would be powerful lift to the recipient, but
they would not control In 1887 Baltimore S
twenty-one votes were cast for Hon. James
Hodges, but it did not nominate him; nor
would the city's vote have carried the prize
to Hon. Frank Brown. In the case of a
close vote between two candidates, Baltl'
