The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1900-11-03

| county seventeen men are employed and six
teen of them will vote the Republican ticket
next Tuesday. The other lone fellow is q
Bryanite but he says he'll be ding DANCED if
he'll go to the polls at all. This is a new phase
of the 16-to-1 idea.
1.-The County Commissioners on Tuesday
very properly decided to pay Mr.. Thomas NJ ::
Hill, Republican Election Supervisor, his full
salary. 1t will be remembered that Mr.. Hill
for about two months, met with DIR. P. +.
Sappington, who claimed to be the Supervisor
in place of Mr.. Wise.
- Bryanites have been interfering with
Republican meetings at some places in the
upper end of this county to such an extent
that the speakers were obliged to stop. We
have heard of no Republicans interrupting
the speakers at Democratic meetings. Com
ment is unnecessary.
- Evangelistic services will begin at North
Point NJ. E. Church South, Patapsco Neck,
Sunday, November 4th and continue about
two weeks. The pastor, Rev. Will E. Henry,
will be assisted by prominent ministers from
Baltimore who will preach every night in the
week except Saturday
THE East Baltimore District Epworth
League will hold its annual convention at
East Baltimore Station NJ. E. Church. Deem
Der 9th and 9TH. The several committees are
working theoretically to make the affair sue
cess. The program promises good speakers
and interesting services.

entered by thieves and ransacked, causing,
in two instances, considerable loss. 1t is
wonder that this business is not carried on
more extensively, the opportunities for it, APP
parently, being so many.
MIR. N. w. Steele, independent Demo-
cratic candidate for Congress in this district,
addressed large gathering at Holtzknecht's
Park, Middle River, on Tuesday afternoon.
Other speakers at the same meeting were Hon.
G. Bohn Slingluff and Messrs. George L. Nor
gan and James p. Dorsey.
1.-The great frame car barn at the Druid
Hill Park terminus of the United Railways
YVES damaged by fire on Tuesday morning to
the extent of about $4,000. While looking
at the fire George NJ. Chambers, who was
some, yeaIs ago. a member q. the county nolice-
>Mr Frederic o. Smith, of the 9Th dis
trict, who lately sold his dairy herd to Mr.
Robert NJ. Taylor, of the Hillen road, has
purchased the herd of Mr.. VIM. B. Crowther,
of mt. Repose" farm, near Cockeysville. 1t
consists of 40 grade cows and bulls. Mr..
Crowther retires from the dairy business.
- The Elder Harrison Company has been
incorporated in Baltimore with capital stock
of $1,000. Among those named as incorpora-
tors are Messrs. William V. Elder, Charles X.
Harrison Jr., and c. Morton Stewart. Jr., all
of Baltimore county. The object of the COM
pany is to deal in tobacco, wines, liquors. etc.
MIR. Barnabas Balls, of Govanstown,
publishes card in THE UNION today denounc
ing as untrue statement that appeared in the
Towson Democrat last week relative to the
Steele meeting held in that place. Mr.. Ball is
a reputable and responsible citizen, and as be
intimates, always ready to take care of himself.
- Our Democratic friends have been
whooping things up pretty lively in the coun-
ty this week. Meetings are being held every
night and the spellbinders have been constant
ly on the go filling remote engagements. The
Republicans have not been idle meanwhile
and they confidently expect good results from
next TUESDAYS battle.
- Many persons who may live long dis
lance from their polling places and have no
means of reaching them except on foot should
be looked after by their neighbors who have
conveyances. Votes are frequently lost be-
cause of inability to reach the polls. 1t is the
duty of every good citizen to vote and all
should be encouraged in their desire to do so.
I'VE never remember to have seen in
Towson such quiet Presidential campaign
as the present one. The Democrats did form
club, but so little interest was taken as not to
amount to anything. Neither party has held
a meeting here, and this is very unusual in Ma
tional contests. Why this apathy, especially
on the part of the Democrats, we are unable to
explain.
THE small fry of Towson-and some not
quite so small-ran riot on Wednesday night
and stranger coming into the place would
have thought a mob had taken possession.
The horrible oaths used by some of the little
fellows engaged in this fun" was sad re1ec-
be very good thing, but in this aspect of it
little reform would not be amiss.
-Be careful about marking your ballot
next Tuesday. Always put the x mark 10 the
right of the party emblem. If you fail to do
this your vote will count against what you de-
sire. Voters should also notice that this year
the Democratic ticket comes first on the left
end of the ballot Republicans who might
happen to put their mark behind Lincoln's
head will be voting for Bryan. Remember
this.
THE country residence of Mr. Joseph
w. Jenkins, Jr., on Lake avenue, was robbed
of lot of valuable silverware at an early
hour on Tuesday morning last and before the
day ended the thief was behind the bars in
Baltimore, some of the stolen articles having
whose father is employed on the place of Mr..
jenkins.
1T is a serious matter in Maryland to en-
gage in the purchase or sale of votes. Persons
who are disposed to take liberties with the
franchise, through the use of money or other
valuable article, should remember that the
penitentiary is ''yawning'' for them. Honest
people desire only fair election and will will
ingly submit to the result. All attempts at
crookedness of any kind should be frowned
down. Let us have fair election.
-In few days the election will be over
and then people will have other things than
politics to think abeut For several months
this has been the all-absorbing and not always
profitable topic and it will be a good thing to
be rid oft; When all is over and settled we
hope some of THE UNIONS local correspon-
dents who have been silent long time will
arouse themselves and let the outside world
known the news of their respective commu-
mites.
