citizens. In early life he was prominent in
Democratic circles in that city, especially dur
ing the reign of the Know Nothing Thugs and
and kindred rascals that ruled Baltimore
during those exciting times. Time after time
was he threatened with violence, but the mis-
cradle cut Threats had not the courage to at
tack him single handed even after he had
challenged their best man to a combat. His
many hair breadth escapes were thrilling,
and even now cause mems blood TO Jingle
with indignation at the treatment the Demo-
Gratis received in those times and later, during
the Civil War.
Several. times he was solicited to be a can
didate for positions on the Democratic ticket
in this county but positively declined, PREFER
ing to remain in the ranks as worker.

daughters of the late Daniel Bush. His last
wife and one daughter, Miss F. Emily, survive
