Hon. George Cotton was in An
napolis Monday last for the first
time during the present session of
the Legislature. Among other
things the Baltimore Sun reports
him as saying:
'If the Democrats act prudent
ly there will be no difficulty in car
rying the State next fall. For tie
City Council young men of charac-
ter should be nominated and the
old politicians should stand aside.
In the new deal young men should
take prominent part all over the
State. / think Mr.. German is sim
cere in saying he will be out of the
fight this year, and there should be
no difficulty in the leading regu-
lars and leading independents get
ting together. For electors at large
such men as Judge Fisher and Col.
Edward Lloyd should be selected,
and for the districts men like Ship
with Wilmer, Randolph Barton.
John S. Writ and E. W. Mealey
should be selected"

DEATH OF o. W. GODDARD.
In the death Of George William Goddard,
one Of the landmarks which bound this
generation 70 the last has disappeared.
For many years he was prominent figure
in the political and other affairs of our
county. and by his positive and. emphatic
action always made his power considers-
bic factor in determining leading questions.
He was man Of nervous and impulsive
nature and at times. this phase Of his
character would carry him beyond the
bounds Of reasonable action, bat In bis
cooler moments. when yon sought his
advice upon any subject, the details Of
which be could grasp, his directness Of
mind and clearness Of perception was un-
equallec- He was firm In his friendship,
almost TO idolatry, and he could feel In his
heart, the pangs Of misery at the treachery
Of q friend. He was always democrat 10
politics and died devout member of the
Catholic church. His sorrowing relatives
have our sympathy, in their affection
May he rest In peace! J.

The Republican Mayor and Re-
publican City Council of the City
of Baltimore are having cat and
dog time and at latest accounts the
council dog was making mayoralty
fur fly thick in the circumam bient
air. We believe the mayor has the
sympathy of the people in his fight
but their sympathy is not saving
him from defeat in his contest with
the council. In fact the people
won't have put until next election,
and meanwhile, by the passage Of
ordinances, the council has taken
from the mayor the privilege of
making appointments and seems
inclined to restrict his duties to
looking at it run the city and draw

better days. were his, the poor and the
needy found in him al ways helping hand
He was of a quick and nervous temper

to make reparstion when ne saw that he
