THE LATE JOHN G. RtNNON.

John c. Bannon. ex-County Clerk and
ex-County School Examiner, of Anne
Arundel county died early Saturday morn
ing in Annapolis aged 81 years. Mr..
Bannon has been i'll several weeks, and his
death was not unexpected. When the end
came he was surrounded by members of
his family consisting of his mother and
his two brothers-James p and Thomas
Bannon-and the family of Mr. Redmond
who had faithfully nursed the sick man
during his lingering illness.
The remains of Mr.. Bannon were taken
to Jcssups. where the funeral took place
Tuesday. He was member of the Catho-
lie Benevolent Legion of Annapolis. and
insured for 81 900 for the benefit of his
mother.
The death of John c. BannOn removes
from Anne Arundel county prominent
figure in local politics, which he entered
at an early day. Before he reached his
majority, when fresh from school, he
took all active interest in political affairs,
and when his fgther, the late Michael
Bannon, was appointed county treasurer
the son was selected one of his clerks
Mr. Bannon allied himself with the young
democracy, wEe were attached to their
leader He was defeated for the Legisla-
ture in 1871. Two months latea he was
appointed secretary, treasurer and eXami-
ner of the school board. of which his I'M
Gle. George T. Wartield, was a member.
remaining in Office until December, 1894,
when he was succeeded by +. Eugene
Wathen. who is still in office. Mr.. Ban
non was then appointed clerk to the Cir
cult Court to succeed the late Major

bother the average republican senator
when he has dicker in view by which he
expects to gain some advantage.
1t begins to look like there was danger
of the favorite son business breaking out
in Gar Reeds camp, one might almost
say in his immediate political family. if
Mr.. W. d. WalwOrth, of Boston, repre-
sented any considerable number of Massa-
chusctts republicans when he said: Il am
decidedly in favor of the Massachusetts
delegation voting for Senator Lodge in
the St Louis convention. No man has
any particular claims to the presidential
nomination any more than any other man,
and it is very fitting tribute for each
state to name its particular choice on the
first ballot. Naturally some of these would
drop out after the first ballot and then the
real strength of those who are candidates
would be shown. The nomination would
be free from the suspicion of ring rule or
bossism, and fully believe would be more
satisfactory to the people at large, while IL
number of worthy men would receive hon
ors to which they are entitled and which
they would appreciate" The odd part of
this nomination of Lodge is that he has
always posed as Damon to Reeds Pythias.
OF course Mr.. Walworth may only have
expressed his own wishes and Mr. Lodge
NAV have known nothing about it. Still
such things are calculated to arouse Sus-
picion in the mind of the Gar.

battle is still on. and the result is I'M
certain. The plucky little Executive

priving him Of the appointing power.
and the Councils. instead ofpassing the
measures over the veto, as they claim
ed to he able to do. postponed action
until Il future date.
This is taken as tacit admission
that the leaders OF the opposition have
not enough votes to carry out the pro
posed program and that they have not
been able to secure the expected aid
from the Democrats in the Councils
Before adjournment, however. the Coun-
ellis took up and rejected the nomina-
tons of DR.. J. McShane, to he Health
Officer. and of DIR. Sydney o. Heiskell
to be Quarantine Officer. Both are

indefinitely postponing its considera-
ton. 1t begins to look like a protrac-
ted deadlock. by which the Democrats
holding municipal offices will profit. as

appointed.
