Masters Business Career.
The Baltimore ''American," the only daily
Republican paper published in that city in
its issue OF Thursday, gives the following
resume of the mayoraty situation:
"The recruits are joining the followers of
Masters standard every day. That isn't
theory. but fact. Mr.. Edmund NJ. Hoffman,
Supervisor OF Elections, and an ''organiza-
ton" man. has declared in favor of the big
shipbuIder for mayor in the most emphatic
terms. "Master will win in walk" said he
yesterday. 1.-THE Malsterites two weeks ago
claimed sixteen out of the twenty-five wards
don't see now why they can't claim the
whole twenty-five. Certain it is the bottom

him."
That was fatal message that Mr. Yelling
ton sent to Mr.. Malster IF you don't get
out, we'll knock you out" 1t seems to be
the last straw on the back of the camel of
public tolerance and public patience His

1t didn't require magnifving glass vester

the Junior Senator's reiterated determination
that they shall take the bit of his bride, and

direction yesterday and simir was drawn

lican wagon and Senator Wellington as the
whip.
On Tuesday the party workers were in

again in their direction, in obedience to their

MASTERS TRUE POSITION.
While MIR. Wellington was in Baltimore on
Tuesday it is stated that he repeated that he
would "knock Malster out.
1t has been insinuated that influences
would be set at work that Mr. Master could
not withstand, and that lie would withdraw
"The mean innuendoes thrown out in Sup-
plees case were PERSONAL said gentleman

were unworthy Of manly men, and wouldn't
carry the weight OF fig. Those limited at in
Masters case are of a business nature. It's
the meanest and dirtiest politics 1 ever heard
OF. No man in this community, or any other,
can point to VIM. I. Master and say aught

honesty. Strictly n self made man. he has
had his ups and downs, like all of us. many
years ago, but his browning success and his
business standing, than which none is higher,
and the respect in which no is held by all
classes, speak for themselves

his closest political advisers. "that, as has
been stated before. no power ON earth can

There was another rousing meeting last

largest yet held, and thc most jubilant BY
