A MOVEMENT is reported in Ohio and Ken
lucky to make Judge Harmon the Democratic
candidate for President in 1904. This is the
third of Mr.. Cleveland's Cabinet officers to be
mentioned for the honor. Lightning seems to
play freely in the immediate vicinity of the
disowned but indispensable Grover.
SOME TIME next month COL William Jen-
nings Bryan will pay visit to Baltimore and,
at the request of Rev. DR.. Madison G. Peters,
he will deliver an address in the city, possibly
in Music Hall. The Maryland Democratic
Association is already arranging to give COL
BEyen'Tbfg banquet upon the occasion of his
visit to Baltimore.
THE SOCIALIST party is early in the field in
Baltimore city. Their convention has already
met, adopted a platform and nominated a
ticket for the principal municipal offices. 1t
is headed by Mr.. Frank Mareck for mayor.
The party reaffirmed its allegiance to the prin-
ciples of international Socialism. 1t favors
municipal ownership of all public utilities,
such as street railroads, gas and electric plants
and all others recurring franchise.

MR.RooKEFELLER, the Standard Oil magnate,
spent several days this week at Atlantic City
and it is said, while there offered young
physician 100000 if he would provide him
with new and healthy stomach. Owing to
diseases of the throat and stomach Mr.. Rookie
Teller is obliged to subsist on the simplest sort
of diet. He would not miss the fee of 81 ,000,-
600 and could easily pay it. Then he would
simply add cent or two per gallon to the price
of coal oil and get his money back in week.
Thus the people would pay the fee.
ELEVEN STATES elected United States Sena-
tors on Tuesday. In nine Republicans were
elected and in the other two Democrats were
chosen. The same old Senatorial farce is ION
the boards" at Dover, Delaware, and it looks
like that little State is still to plod along with
out representatives in the US, Senate Ad-
dicks.-the cas- magnate, has bought nearly half
the State and holds it in his iron grasp but he
can't buy quite enough to get himself into the
Senate. The State had better go unrepresented
forever than have such man at Washington.
A STRANGE disease has made its appearance
among the horses in the northern section of
Frederick county and much alarm has been
caused by its presence. 1t in some particulars
resembles CHAMBERS and appears to be highly
contagious. The first visible symptom is a
white secretion that forms about the eyes.
The nostrils become sore and ulcers form in
the mouth and the animal generally becomes
languid and weakens, dying within forty eight
hours. Some farmers have lost five or six ami
mails and others two and three. So far the
disease has baffled the efforts of veterinarians.

called The State, published in Charleston, s. c.,
who was shot on the 10th instant by Lieu
tenant. Governor Tillman, died from the effects
of the wound on Monday last. The men met
on the street and Tillman drew pistol and
shot the other down in cold blood. There had
been long-standing feud between the men.
Tillman, who appears to be man of bad char
acter, both public and private, is nephew of
"Pitchfork" Tillman, of South Caroline
whose name disgraces the rolls of the United
States Senate Mr.. Gonzales, who was a
young man, was brave soldier in the Spanish
war. He leaves family.
THERE is blood on the moon in Hagerstown
On Wednesday last there was a scrapping
match on the streets of that stiad town between
no less personages than Mr.. Richard ]. Ham,
ilton, editor of the Daily Nail, and Mr.. Samuel
P Angel, sheriff of Washington county. Not
withstanding the latters lovely name and
high official position he deliberately slapped
MIR. Hamilton in the face and there was a
general mixup for about two minutes and
few seconds. The trouble grew out of the fact
that Mr.. Hamilton-who is son of the late
Governor of that name-criticised Sheriff
Angel for permitting two prisoners to escape
from the jail
THE TALK of making Gen. Thomas ]. Shryock
the Republican nominee for mayor of Balti-
more next spring might as well cease. In an
interview few days ago the General said II
have received a number of letters from promi-
nent Republicans, and Democrats as well,
ASKING me II intended to become candidate
for the mayoralty, and promising support in
case entered the contest. 1t is now time for
me to say that will not be candidate, and
that it would not be possible for me to accept
the nomination under any circumstances. My
business is such that could not think of be-
coming a candidate, however desirable the
Office might be-
