islation.
In Anne Arundel county the Demo
cratic party is ard has always been
divided into factions very bitter toward
each other. Senator Williams recon-
mended the re-appointment of Mr.. Nut
well, while DIR. George Wells and the
Anne Arundel delegation in the House
insisted on having Mr.. Nu,well's scalp
and putting MIR. Joshua Linlhicum. Jr..
IN his place.
The limit of sending in the appoint
ments was up last night. and every one
who was interested d was about the State
House. Whom the appointments for Anne
Arundel were announced, great sur.
prise was sprung upon the Wells Bannon
faction, who had. up to this time. stuck
by the leaders in getting through all their
important measures with the understand.
ing that they should get what they asked
tor in the appointments, but nolwith-
standing the large and strong delegations
that appeared before the Governor for
tobacco inspector from this county, their
appeal was not needed.
The Governor preferred to listen 10
the Senator, who differed with the Ban
non-Wells faction, and made the ap-
pointments upon his recommendation
and that OF the State leaders. The
DISAPPOINTMENT OF the Wells Bannon fac.
tion can better be imagined than de.
scribed. From now henceforth the cry
will be war to the knife, and the knife to
the hilt, for there will be no more peace
in Anne Arundel county.
REPUBLICANS PLANNING A COUP.
The Republicans are planning a big
coup which may, with the assistance OF
the disaffscted Democrats, prove sue
cessiul. An attempt will be made to
take a recess from the morning session
until night in order TO break up the Dem.
ocratic caucus which is to take place in
the House. Once IN scision, every offou
to obtain an adjournment will be resisted
They will be assisted by the four DEM
ocratic members from Anne Arundel
county and by Mr.. Suaus.
In reply to letter from Mr.. John p.
Moore inviting them to attend the Dem.
ocratic Caucus tonight the four delegates
representing Anne Arundel county sent
the following answer THE State Dem.
ocratic orr anization having stabbed its
own organic alton for this county in the
back, We hereby return the above notice
with our declination to attend the socall-
ed Democratic caucus called for tomor
row evening at 8 o'clock and all future
and socalled Democratic caucuses."
This was signed by Jas. K. Brashears,
John A Waits, Fred. l. Shipley and
w. t. LeatheTbuTy. This action OF the
Anne Arundel people breaks down the
Democratic majority in the House, and
prevents all party legislation from being
enacted. II leaves the Democrats in the
minority. The Wells-Bannon people
claim they have been completely sold
out and deceived. and that they will
make their influence felt in future legis-
lation OF the party.
