him through the air.
And then railway employee, incensed at
some delay,
Rebuked and fiercely threatened him for
getting in the way.

1t Is plain that Massachusetts veterans

the government ought to pay all pensioners

This Explains 1t.

The Baltimore County Union prom-
nent Republican journal says: "a goo d
many active Republicans would like to
know how easy it was that Mr.. John Z.
Rose slipped so easily into the United
States District Attorneyshir, just as
though everything had been creased for
the occasion. The explanation is easy.
Judge McComas wanted to reward MIR.
Sidney E. Mudd for the services render
ed to him last winter in the Senatorial
fight at Annapolis. The Judge did not
care especially for Mr.. Rose, and every
body knows that Mr.. Mudd did not care
for him at all, but Mr.. Rose has his resi-
dence in the 1st district of Baltimore
county and it and the 18th district are in
the Fifth Congressional district, now
represented by Mr.. Mudd, who wants to
succeed himself These two districts have
two votes in the Congressional conven-
ton and they may be very necessary to
Mr.. Mudd when the times comes. MIR.
Rose, who is being used by Judge
McComas to pay political debt to Mr..
Mudd, will lie expected to have two
votes in his vest pocket for him when the
convention meets. The question is, Can
he deliver the goods We earnestly hope
he will fail in his effort in that direction
and that the delegates from the LIST and
18th districts of this county will cast their
votes for better man than the Southern
MARYLAND boss Mr.. Rose is a reformcr
of the big r stripe. So is Mr.. Mu Id
