Correcting Mistake in the Tally-A
Plurality Of One in Two DISSATISFACTION.
Sydney E. Mndd Republican candidate for
Congress in the Fifth district of Maryland, by
r.,John C. Rose, his attorney, has filed Pc
tition in the Circuit Court here against Messrs.
William A. Slade, Charles II. Wise and Thomas
NJ. Hill, Supervisors of Election, alleging that
in canvassiDg the vote of the petitioner in the
fourth precinct OF the LIST district of Baltimore
county they have erred in allowing the petit
toner only 128 votes, whereas the judges of
eleetien in their return gave the petitioner 1893
N1oOf6
or before November oath why the prayer of the
petitioner that the Board be required to recon-
vene and correct the error should not be
granted.
Mr.. Thomas J. Hunter, clerk to the Super
visors has made an examination of the returns
made by the judges of election and finds that
Mr. Mudd should have been credited with 1893
votes as alleged in his petition. The mistake
occurred. he states, from the election clerk,
who made up the return, running the letter
'f'' from the line above into the statement of
Mr. Mudd's vote.
The addition of these 70 votes gives Mr..
Mudd the two Baltimore county districts in
the Fifth Congressional district Qst and 13th)
by plurality of one.
Mr.. Merryman in Reminiscent Mood
The following letter from Mr.. George H. Mer-
ryman, well known and highly esteemed
citizen near Bosley postoffice, explains itself:
:" MeSsrs. Editors Mr.. Leopold Minnick's
"reminiscences published in last weeks issue of
THE UNION, carries me in memory back to
NV earliest school days-'3T to '43. The teacher
"a graduate in medicine. but not practician,
DR.. William WillingmGn by name-was well
educated but too passionate and impatient for
successful teacher Of dull scholars, as so
many of us were. He used to say it was
easier TO whip us than hear us recite our les
sons and many of us bore palpable marks of
this easier system of education.
'sBut Mr.. Minnick is mistaken in supposing
there are only four Of us left and l will name
several others. They are DIR. Grafton M. Bos
ley and his brother, Nicholas; John P. Clark,
exSchool Commissioner; Thomas Kelley,
nov of Montgomery county, and his sister,
Mrs. Aquila Galloway; John H. Cole, now
preacher of the United Brethren faith and
resident of Pennsylvania; John D.. G. Dun
can, William and Milton Bosley, Zephaniah
Poteet, John w. Bull and George V. Todd and
his sister, Mrs. B. R. Ridgely. There may be
Others but those that have gone over the
river far outnumber those of us who are
waiting"

but if he dies without children or descendants,
! then this property goes to his widow for her
I Efe and at her death to the sister of the tesla

Going From Home to Get the News
| The Baltimore Meas few days ago said 1.-THE
| Republicans of Baltimore county seem to be
alive to the situation of the hour and extern
siye preparations are to be begun at once by
the County Committee to get things in shape
| for the county election next fall when the
Sheriff, County Commissioner and other Off
| Gals are to be elected.
ut is reported that word has been passed
down the line to all of the party workers in
the county to hold the advantage which has
Just been gained by earnest concerted action,
and to be prepared to go into an early and
vigorous campaign.
| 1.-THE Republicans are jubilant over their
victory in the county in that they won the
county for Mckinley and cut the Democratic
majority, as shown by Mr.. Talbott's vote,
down to an exceedingly low figure. The fight
in the county next fall is expected to be
heated one both from a Republican and
| Democratic standpoint"
We have not heard of anything being done
| mere looking 10 organization Ior next year ser,
local contest, and hence there can be very little
if any foundation for what the NeWs says.
But OF one thing there can be no doubt-the
Republicans will be in the field in time, pre-
pared to put up the best fight they know how.

pointed to take charge of the sub-station. He
