Farmer Vannort.
Should Col. Nannort, of Kent
county, be nominated by the Rcpub-
licans for Governor, in what a fix it
would place Farmer" Brown. For
apart from his money, with which
he will of course plentifully lubri-
cate the German machine, and re-
plenish the grandmother's fund,
about the only other claim he puts
forth as emitting him to votes is the
fact that he is or claims to be a far
mer. But here is Col. Nannort who
is not only IA farmer in name but
one in fact. Who with his own
hands, and not by proxy, has plow-
ed, narrowed, harvested wheat and
corn, made hay, dug bitches and
mauled rails, i'll short, is genuine
farmer. What would become Of
Farmer Browns pretensions along
side of these.
But the Democratic party seems
to love shams, and what is stranger
still its rank and file show pen
chant for being caught by them
which is marvellous. It's only nee
essary for the leaders to take a
society leader in Baltimore, a soft
handed, fashionable dillitante, who
probably never did half of Il day 5
work in his life and who knows no
more about planting pototoes than
Il French cook, and call him Il Far
mer, when 10 all the Democrats in
the State cry with one voice, "be-
hold the farmers friend. "
If the Republicans should nomi-
nate Farmer Nannort, they will
have a farmer candidate who is en-
titled to the name. lie does his
farming down on his farm in Kent
county and not i'll Il Baltimore
