TO Gov. Hastings, william c. Arnold. who Representa-
the Clearneld county district In Congress. He IS 8
lawyer and q Republican. and defe ted the Demo

The municipal reformen Of the city Of Baltimore.
the Baltimore Cits. have . local griev snce. 1t appear,
according 70 q bulletin Issued by them. that grass is
now growing on nearly all tho streets between Cal
vert and St. PauIs and from Lexington TO Read,
Grass is also growing in Franklin, Centre, and por
tions OF North Charles streets. A local ordinance re.
cuires householder ito keep the grass pulled out OF
the CUTTERS along the fronts of their property" and
this only. the penalty for violation OF the ordinance
being q nne OF o.. enforced by the Heath Department
1t appears that there is no law 10 compel 9 citizen o.
the city authorities 10 stop the grass from growing 4.
the middle OF the street. and the dissatisfaction c.
the Baltimore reformers arises from this pAipabl-
neglect. They insist that the Health Department
should be stirred TO action" Although the Bait
more reformers do not refer TO IT, It Is a fact that the
city OF Baltimore is now one OF the large markets for

teenth. Twenty.nbt, Twenty.third. Twenty.uinth
Thi1y.npt, and part OF the Thirty'fourth Assembly
districts, is the strongest Republican Council d,stric;
in town. and there arc alreA y several candidates for
the Republican nominations there. Perhaps the
foremost OF these and the best qualified by reason o.
dilisent service in the present BOARD Of Aldermen IS
Elias Goodman. who has for three years representa-
the Harlem district IN the board and has taken al
active part in the work of committees. The Repus!i
cans will nominate and elect three Councilmen. run
ming together on the same ticket, in this district.

The refusal of the Republicans of Virginia TO put in

have not fused, but are fighting each other ana
with two tickets in the held OF the Bryanites, the
