DR.. Wash. c. TUCK
At Present Enjoying Himself In
His Usual Biennial Po-
litical Fight.

The following sketch appeared in the
Morning Herald under Mr.. Winchester
column of "Men Aud Events. descrip-
tive of DIR. w. G. Tuck. the uTbane
postmaster and ltaier IN Republican
politics. who is described as "a piciuresq le
figure OF the old-time sor,.'
"Dr. Tuck is a member OF one of the
oldest and most distinguished families in
MARY land, and is connected with many
OF the promi lent people OF the state
capital. WHIT re his family has resided for
several generations. He has old-tash-
ioned manners and is as courteous as his
bewigged and ruffi.d ancestors. the poI-
traits OF many OF whom look down from
the walls OF several houses OF Annapolis.
"But it Is as a politician that DIR.
Tuck is best known. For long time he
has been the leader Of his party in Anne
Arundel county. and his word has been
law to the mass Of his followers for many
years. He makes up the tickets which
he wishes to have nominated, and the
slate goes through as he presents it,
usually without opposition. In tact. there
are few shrewder politicians or manIpu-
lators in Maryland than this genial old
gentleman, who always knows what he
wants and generally gets it.
"He is loved by his followers. who
obey his slightest mandate, and is feared
and dreaded by his opponents, who know
his ability and resourcetulness as man
ager OF campaigns. During the sessions
OF the General Assembly DIR. Tuck is
one OF the familiar figures about the
State House, where he has been at home
for over half a century. He knows ali
the ms and outs of affairs there, and no
man in Maryland is better acquainted
with the way to do things or keep things
undone than this venerable and clerical
looking gentleman, who can be a court
eous and peaceful as lamb when moth
ing disturbs him, but who can rage like
hon and put hshwoman to the blush
with his picturesque and unusual oaths
when ne is aroused.
"And he often is aroused. for things
do not always go to his liking in the
State House, especially when his political
opponents are in control. But with all
bis faults, and all men have some, DR..
Tuck is a kind hearted, charitably dis
posed man. He is true to his friends and
hates his enemies while they are fighting
him. When the contest is over. however,
he iorgives and fOrgets at once. and
treats them with gentle courtesy until
the war breaks out again. Then he puts
on his paint once more, takes up his
battle ak and marches out 70 the light.
Al the present time he is in full paint
and feathers, and all his weapons are
ready for the fray. Cons, quentiy there is
trouble In Anne Arundel in both parties.
and DIR. Tuck is enjoying himself in
his usual biennial style.
