POLITICAL NOTES.

The Democratic prospect in Maryland
metropolitan Democratic papers as the
Baltimore Sun and News and number of
Democratic papers in the counties are op-
posing him; that Gov. Brown has, in an
interview, expressed the opinion that the
Democratic nominee for governor, John E.
Hurst, should withdraw; that several
prominent Democrats Of Maryland express
their determination to support Lowndes
(Rep.) for Governor. and that many other
Democrats say they will not vote at all,
give the Democratic campaign in that
State an unpromising outlook. The trou-
BILE seems to be, not that Hurst is not a
creditable candidate, but that it is claimed
by all the opponents Of Senator German
that he is Germans selection and not the
selection of the Democrats Of the State.
Gen. Hardin. the silver Democrat, who
was nominated for Governor on sound
money platform by the Democratic State
convention of Kentucky. is making his
canvass Oh free silver. 1t has created such
dissatisfaction that two prominent Demo-
cratic papers have withdrawn from his
support, and the State Central Committee
has been forced to hold meeting and issue
an address urging all Democrats to support
the nominee.
Washington letter in Alexandria Gazette:

State, but that then he intends to try to
obtain the democratic nomination for Con-
gress in his district"

The Harrisonburg State Republican OF
last week contained four column letter
from Gen. Malone. Half Of it is a denial
of the assertion of the Richmond Times
that he was the author and promoter OF the
tissue ballot in Virginia, and the other half
is quotation from an old address of the
Virginia Republican State Committee DIES
cfibing what the Republican party did for
Virginia while the General was at its head.
The Richmond Times replies to the Gen
eral S lengthy card by repeating its charge,
and declaring that IN the fight for "Honest
Elections, y which it has been advocating,
it will not cooperate with Gen. Malone.

in their joint appearance in the Brook
lyn Tor Harlem) home at such very
early hoaS IN the day.
1t is while the SIuarer is telling his
story in the tones of great earnestness
and sincerity to an audience of the sort
described in the dramatic departments
OF newspapers as ''coldly critical" that
his client first ventures into the parlor.
No attention whatever is paid to him
when he offers TO substantiate every de-
tail of the narrative, and even the
Squarer looks at him in a way that
means: You'd better STAY IN the hall
where put YOU until you're sent for.
I've got all | can do to make them

out having you come in and queer ne
right in the middle Of it."
As matter of fact, the clients word
carries no more weight with the domes-
tic jury convened in that parlor than
that of a convicted murderer at the bar
OF justice.
A great many accomplishments and
rare personal qualities enter into the
composition of the successful Squarer.
and none of these is of greater impo>
tance than his ability 10 compel the
family to believe at least half of tho
straight unvarnished and
highly interesting account of HE
friends adventures. which he tells in
such a pleasant and confidential man
ner. Indeed, ii may be truthfully said
that that story is the very keystone of
the article on which the future peace
and happiness of the eonvivial client
must rest At the close of his nara
ton signs of slight thaw are usually
visible IN the home circle and the
Squarer is likely TO be asked 70 STAY to

Few dilemmas, 80 does nature at the
same time offer new ways OF avoiding
them.
! The Squarer is by no means modern
product. He has existed. in a primitive
form, it is true. at all times and in
every cline. but it is doubtful if he
eyer reached such a high state of de-
where his services are in almost con-
slant demand.
/ take il for granted that most of my
readers know what L mean when L
speak of Squarer, and indeed there
gre many happy households IN which
he is a familiar figure, but for the sake
of the few who have never been
brought in direct contact with this
unique and useful character | will state
that the Scuarer is the highminded
plilanthropist whose sole mission in
life is to succor those unfortunates
who. having pledged the wine cup with
convivial spirits until an unearthly
hour IN the morning, are afraid to go
home unless accompanied by some Dip
iomatic friend who can by sheer force
of tact good humor and adroitness re-
store them partially to the place which
they ought to occupy as the heads of
their respective households-n short 10

The difficulties and dangers which
beset the Squarer in the performance

give everyone an apparent abundance
and yet leave enough of the fowl or
joint to make glad the heart of the
housewife as she calculates the num-
Der of breakfasts and luncheons that
still remain on the dish. Let him spill
a single drop of gravy on the table
cloth and his unfortunate client viii
have all he can do to square his friend.
1t is customary in well-regulated fam
lilies to have pair of ducks for dinner
on such occasions as this. and an &C.
comphshed squarer will display de-
gree of skill which can be likened only
to that of a surgeon in the operating
theater, cutting away delicate slices
OF the meat and leaving the bone as
clean and white as piece of celluloid.
Unless the disgraced member of the
household cOntrives to make some un-
fortunate break" during the meal the
end of the dinner will find everybody
IN a much happier frame of mind than
before, and unless the Squarer hap
pens to possess musical accomplish
ments of some sort he will take a
speedy departure. His client will prob
ably weep over him and beg him to pro-.
long his visit till the next day. but he
will finally resist his opportunities and
depart after having shaken hands all
round with much cordiality and lively
expressions of gratitude for the hospi-
tally which has been extended to him.
If squaring should ever become one
of the learned professions and cease to
be the labor of love which it is now it
will be found that the hired squarer
will never acquire one-half the skill or
perform his duties with nearly as much
success as the distinguished amateur
whom have in my minds eye as
write. JAMES l.. FORD.
