In Memoriam-G Granville S. Haines.

The Directors of the First National Bank
of Westminster, at regular meeting, held on
the 10th day of December, 1901, adopted the
following Minute for permanent record IN the
Book of Minutes; for transmission to the fam
ily of the deceased and for publication in the
county papers.
1t is with profound sorrow we learn of the
death of GRANVILLE s. HAINEs. Born No
vember 90 1928, he passed from the scene OF
his earthly labors, on the morning of Deem
Der 9th, 1901, leaving behind him the record
of stainless life. That life was spent and
ended in the same community in which it be-
gan, and throughout its long duration had no
concealment. 1t was an honest, honorable
and upright life, of which his family and
friends may Justly feel proud. Granville S.
Haines was man in whom the soundest bust
ness Judgment was combined with unflinch-
ing integrity, and thsee qualities naturally
created demand for his services in various
enterprises having in view the material and
moral advancement of our people. But of
these this is not the time nor the place to
speak. We choose, now, rather to recall his
pronounced and agreeable personality; his
| deep interest in all that concerned his fellow
man, and, especially his long and close con-
nection with this institution.
| Elected as a Director December 31st, 1864,
| and since August 3, 1872, the President OF
our Bank Granville S. Haines was known to
the members of this Board as he could not be
known to the outside world. None had such
opportunities as we to learn the manifold ex-
ceilences of his character, and we desire this
minute to be a record of our high estimate,
not only of his rare worth as man and a
citizen, but more particularly of the helpful
service, sound advice and loyal devotion which
he was ever ready to place at the command
| of this Bank.

The Bipartisan Election Machinery
and Election CONTESTS.


The amendments to the registration and
election law made at the extra session OF the
Legislature, did not change the bipartisan
character Of registration and election officials.
At every precinct in the State. after the bal
lots were counted the Republican and Demo-
cratic judges signed the returns, feeling salts
fed that they had honestly carried ont the
law and upheld their oaths. As soon as the
returns were published the cry of fraud went
mn and intentions Of contests made known.
The Republicans initiated the movement, Me-
Comas and Goldsborough fairly going wild IN
their charges. To Offset this, and to be IN
position to profit by recouuts, if the recounts
should vary sufficiently to elect any OF their
candidates, the Democrats instituted contests
AGAINST the Republicane returned elected.
In this county the contests were inaugurated
by the Republicans, and in nearly every IN
stance throughout the State the Republicans
initiated the contests. That many OF them
will not be decided in time to benefit the con-
testants is very evident. A recount would
necessarily be slower than the original count
by the Judges Of the election, as the ballots
would be more closely examined tor any
marks that would make them defective, and
Il he case of contests before the House OF
Delegates it is quite certain that the reeounts
cannot be made in the ninety days OF the SEES
sion Tn some counties the ballots and boxes
will be needed for recouuts for local ofnces.
IF the House Of Delegates would demand ana
be entitled to receive them the recounts on
local Offices would have to be postponed. II
The recounts for local offices should not be
disturbed, then there would be a delay IN the
count in the legislative contests.
In the contest for Comptroller, 1t certain
the recount cannot be finished within the
ninety days of the session of the Legislature.
Should the committee be authorized to COM
nlete The work after the session ended, they
could not report until the Legislature OF 1904,
by which time the term of the Comptroller
would end. 1t is thus seen how ridiculous IS
the contest by McComas cousin Platt 1t is
not probable that Mr. Plat wanted to make
contest, but was forced into it by Boss Nc
Comas.
If there be anything in any of the contests,
il proves very conclusively that bipartisan
registration and election machinery is a fail
ure. If this is not true, the Republican
contests are merely made to cover up the
incompetency of Republican management
for McComas had promised to send machine
Republican to the United States Senate IN
the place ef Wellington and failed, and he is
pretending to Hanna and the Roosevelt Adj,
ministration that the Republicans were de-
frauded. And in making these charges he is
branding as incompetent or unprincipled
every Republican Judge ofelection in the State
a matter that many will remember TO his dis
comfture in the future.

TOO Much Zeal.

Several Republican United States Senators
busted themselves in eudeavoring to get sig
natures to resolutions, calling for the resigna-
ton of Senator George L. Wellington. 1t
never occurred to them that should Yelling
ten resign, Democrat would be sent to the
Senate to succeed him, either by appointment
kskhe Governor or election by the Leglsla-
tgTe. When they discovered this fact the
resolutions were consigned to the waste bask,
els, These foes of Wellington had more zeal
than discretion, and for their rashness they
were laughed at by the more sensible Sena-
tore

Primary Election Law.

Some persons in Baltimore are asking for
primary election law. However much one
may be needed for Baltimore the counties
neither need nor want one. The primary law
before the last Legislature would have been
very expensive one, and the people OF Baltl-
more did not want it. 1t is quite certain that
law will be enacted at the approaching ses-
sion, but its operations should be confined to
Baltimore and its administration should not
be expensive.
With annual registration and an expensive
primary election law, campaign expenses will
be so great that only the rich can afford to
be candidates.
