The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1902-04-05

THE ANNAPOLIS correspondent of the Balti-
more Sun says the Legislature that adjourned
Monday night was "conspicuousy corpo-
ration Legislature" and adds "All the bills
which the rich corporations wanted were en-
acted and all that they opposed were defeated.
The only exception was the Stop.Over Ticket
bill, and this was extorted from the Pennsyl-
vania Company by holding back a consolida-
ton act which the company was anxious
about. After consenting to the passage of this
bill application was made to the Governor to
veto it.. The OpenCut bill was defeated in the
House, and every bill which was opposed by
the United Railways Company failed. The
most conspicuous were the Six-Tickets-for
Quarter bill, Mr.. Dallam's Conduit Electrical
Company bill and Senator Bryan's bill amend
ing the General Incorporation act so that under
it electric lighting companies could be char
tered anywhere in the State. 1t was stated
that the Conduit Company would have fur
nished light to the people of Baltimore at one
half the present rates, but they were not per-
mitted to do it. The bill died in the Senate
Corporations Committee"

ex-Gov Frank Brown, who some time ago set
on foot movement for the reorganization of
the Democratic party in this State, has given
up all hope of his plan. closed his offices in
Baltimore and will sail for Europe next month.
He thinks his party has been hopelessly
wrecked by bad management and sees no
chance for its rehabilitation. In a lengthy in
terview published in Thursdays papers the
Ex-Governor said II am much disappointed
at the course pursued at Annapolis. The pro.
ceedings throughout the session were damned
with party caucuses, held to consider measures
which were non political and should not have
been considered as such. These began here at
the Rennert and were followed up with others
in private rooms at Annapolis. Instead of
looking after the welfare of the people, in
whose interest the legislation was planned,
the business of the session was subordinated
to help along the political fortunes of few
men. There was no broadminded statesman
ship; on the contrary, it appears to me that
those in control played precinct politics"
