MARYLAND DEMOCRATIC EDITORS.
They Hold Their Annual Meeting
and Then Take An Outing to
Southern Maryland

The Maryland Democratic Editors Asso-
citation met at the Carroton Hotel, Balti-
more, on Tuesday afternoon of last week.
Jos. NJ. STREET., Esq. of the Hartford Demo
GRAFT. who has been President of the Assoca-
ton since its organization, was reelected;
VIM. B. Usilton, ESQ.,, of the Kent News,
was reelected Vice President, and Fred.
Sasscer, of the Prince Georgian. Upper MARI
boro. was reelected Secretary. Mr.. Sasscer
has been secretary since the organization in
1890.
A committee was appointed to consider the
matter of primaries, and the committee dis
posed of the matter by expressing confidence
in the mass of Democrats to make good nomi-
nations in the future as they have done in the
past. The report was adopted by unanimous
vote. Since the last annual meeting Mr.. L.
S. Wilson, of the Upper Marlboro Gazette,
and Mr. w. w. Busted, Of the Centreville
Observer, had died, and paper testifying to
their many virtues was offered and passed.
Here are the reports
The committee to which the resolution of the as
ISOLATION was referred to inquire into the best
method of assisting i'll securing the best men as
Democratic nominees, report:
"First-That the association feels great pride in
the recent nominees of the Maryland Democracy
and in its capable and faithful representatives
elected to the Legislature of 1898 and congntuates
the State Democracy on this faithful exponent OF
Je1IeTSOnldu Vi
honesty.
''Second-That the best method on the part OF the
association to secure the best democratic nominees
is now as i'll the past to advocate the doctrine OF
Jeffersonian fitness for office and the unfetered
rule of the Democratic primaries and conventions
to make the party nominations
This is the first annual meeting of the Maryland
Democratic Editors Association where any sad an
nouncements have been made. All has been pleas
ant agreeable and joyous.

well spent, too and he left behind an enFlaOle
record for honesty, energy and upright conduct III
all walks of life. He hewed his own fortune, ana

particulars.
"Was your brother a humble
critter or lip-rorer?" he asked
of the man who come in search.
"My brother Ben was rather
inclined to talk in LOUD voice" p"
was the reply.
"Jest SO, sir. If he entered a

it?"
81 think he did;
And if the barkeepeE didn't
wait 9p him to once he Increased
the l9udness Of his voice and at
the same time pouEdod on the
bar with the butt of a gun?"
"That would probably be bis
course" replied the brother.

81 think he would. Yes, that
would be Ben"
"And about his drinkin'?" con-
tinued the Marshal, "was he one
o. these hogs who ponr out two
big drinks and only pay for one?
You must e4opse Fhe question,
but all these things hey a bearin'

"He always poured out 9 gen.
erous drink. I belieYe,'' was the
reply.
''And when he cot through
drinkin' was it his habit to turn
around and lean his elbows on
the bar, and tell about his bein'

"Ah he was here, then?"
"He showed up here, sir, ]
remember the day, He entered
the saloon right across the street.
He called in a loud voice and he
followed out the rest Of the pro-
