STATE NOMINATIONS.
WILLIAMS FOR GOVERNOR; DEN
MS, COMPTROLLER; WHITE
LOCK, ATTY GENERAL

Were the Republican Candidates Named
Last Thursday at IsaItimoIe-An En-
thusitstic Gathering-The Platform is
Broad and Liberal.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1903-09-24

+ A strenuous, picturesque, but, in
Zhe end, harmonious and enthusiastic
convention was that of the Republi-
can party held last Thursday after
noon in Fords Opera House, Balti-
more, at which. the Republican State
ticket was nominated by reclamation
and the party platform upon which
the campaign this fall will be made
adopted amid thunderous applause.
There was a unity and vigor about
the cheers for the candidates, partic-
ularly for Mr.. Williams, that left no
doubt that the discordant elements of
the party will rally under his leader
ship and, so far as he is concerned,
there will not be break in the ranks.
The discordant elements, however,
were conspicuously present, and the
proceedings were enlivened by vari-
Gus incidents that relieved the mo-
notony of the convention.
The Opera House was beautifully
decorated with flags, and heavy
streamers of the black and gold col
ors of Maryland were cleverly en-
twined around the galleries and about
the pillars in the theatre, while in the
boxes were tall green palms and pot
ted plants. The exterior of the build
ing was draped with the red, white
and blue bunting, and a large Ameri-
can flag was suspended above the
door. Parsons Orchestra occupied
seats below the stage and d.scoursed
music during the afternoon.
NAMED BY RISING VOTES.
The ticket as nominated has been
predicted for several weel>s, with the
exception of the Comptroller, and
this nomination was only finally
agreed on an hour before the meeting
of the convention, yet the enthusiasm
was spontaneous and tremendous.
But one name for each position was
put before the convention, and each
nomination was made by a rising
vote. Prominent Republicans from
every section of the State were upon
the stage and occupied the boxes,
while the delegates were representa-
tive of the Republicanism of the va
Ariods counties.
u Congressman Mudd, the leader of
N5he anti McComas forces in the State,
!. vas present as delegate from Charles
county, and was one of the most
prominent and active figures on the
moor. His speech, in seconding the
nomination Of Mr.. Williams as a can
d1date Tor Governor, following that of
ex-Congressman Baker, was the occa-
sion of the biggest demonstration of
the day and aroused even his bitter
est political enemies to enthusiasm.
Another noteworthy figure in the
gathering was that of Congressman
William H. Jackson, of Wicomico,
who sat with his delegation and was
vigorously cheered when hiss name

Dear Sir: Mr. Frank Robinson, Ii

good deal Of feeling against the whole
tribe of mixed paints. Our agents
there Messrs. Kernochan & Co, got
him to do it. He says:
l am more than pleased with the

left over; l know of several other jobs,
a year old or more, painted with De-
voc, that are wearing well.
What a pity we have to all go

rience teaches. Isn't there any easier
way to learn?

BEYOND THE HILLS.

4 can hear the drums as the army comes
From beyond the hills he said.
And he leaned and smiled like a happy
child
As he shook his snowy head
And he clutched his cane while the far re-
frain
Came in murmurs 20 his ears,
sut they whispered low; He hasdreamed
And it is no drum he hears"
Il can hear the fife as it leaps with life,
And the drums roll gladly, too
Was the old mans sigh as with kindling
eye
He would hum the war songs through.
1t is Jimmy Shea-that is how he'd play
When the road was hard and long;
And It's Biuy's drum that is calling:
Gomez
AZ 1t keeps time with TIE song"
And his fingers slim beat a tattoo grim
On the stout arm Of the chair,
While his lips grew stern and his eyes
would burn
With the FIRE that once was there.
~oh, the bugle call, and the drums and
aEr'
He would say. Their music fills
All the night and day; 1 can hear them
play
In the march beyond the hills"
ct can hear the drums. and the army comes
From beyond the hills" he said.
With his eyes aglow he saluted slow
And he touched his snowy head
Then his eyes were closed as IL he but
dozed,
And his day of days had dawne1,
S'or the low drum beat had allured his feet
To-the hills-and far beyond.

Genius.

At an informal dinner of about dozen
grand army comrades, the other even
Ing, conversation took the course of re-
miniscences of Sherman's March
Through Georgia." says the New York
Tribune. One OF the veterans related a
story In this way:
Everybody who served under Sher-
man as commander must give him
credit for his strategy in thanking the
eonfederates out OF their strong posi-
lions. Even young woman Of Georgia
couid not help observing his military
genius, and her remarks were amusing,
to say the least. She told how Sherman's
army marched down through her coun-
try, and how he detached his command
ers to do certain things. / think / can
recall her language, which was about
like this: 1t wasn't fair for Sherman
to fight the southern soldiers on end.
Now. IL was right smart OF Gen. Bragg
to form two streaks OF fight in our door
yard with walking soldiers. and hen he
got Gen. Joe Wheeler TO line up one
streak Of fight with critter soldiers
(meaning cavalry behind the house.
And just as our side was ready to whip
up. and he fianked Bragg and made him
fall back, which he did in such hurry
that he upset dads ask hopper plant,
which cost $3.50 in Atlanta, and dad
vows as how he is agoin' to sue Bragg
for waste. But I'd like to know where
the YanKs get those guns which they
load on Sunday and fire all the week?
Il remember a young confederate
prisoner. who was standing near the
young woman, evidently her best fell
low. who responded with this remark:
Why, Sherman can do anything. He
gets on hill. flops his wings and crows;
then he yells out: Attention, creation!
By kingdoms, right wheel march,"
and then we git"
Another OF the veterans told story
OF how Gen. sherman outwitted a So
called British consul at Savannah. Upon
arriving in the city Sherman noticed a
surprisingly large number of British
flags flying on as many buildings and he
became curious TO know whether all of
the British consuls in the southern states
had taken refuge in Savannah. In the

Johnson.
The couple arrived at the hotel in due

tea. Johnson escorted his bride to a
table in the dining-room, and then, after
an admiring glance at her, looked quiz

There was no honey on the table, and
none in the room. Johnson was sur
prised, and called a waiter.
''See here" said he, where's my

The waiter seemed at loss what to

a stage whisper, said: "She don't work

following. l remember one young fell
low of the Thirty-first Indiana, a tall.
slender, black-haired fighter, whose
face was black from powder smoke,
but who fired as rapidly as any man in
his company. Finally his ramrod stuck
in his overheated and foul gun barrel.
Turning to Capt. Hallowell, he said:
Cap, my ramrod's stuck. Have you a
rag about you person that can swab
her out with?'
THE captain tore his handkerchief
in two and handed one-half to the own
er of the stuck ramrod. The latter.
with the zip, zip of rife balls in his
ear, proceeded coolly to swab out his
gun. This was not an easy Job when
a man had nothing else to think about;
1t was very trying one with the bull
lets flying. But the young fellow work
ed steadily until his gun was in good
working order. when he went into ac-
ton with energy and enthusiasm. Just
before he resumed business, looking up
into. Capt. Hallowell's face, he said:
'Jerusalemi Cap. amt we maxim his
tory to-day?' The captain probably
thought the slender youngster was do
Ing his full share of history making"
There was close work that day"
said the sergeant 81 remember that
after the repulse of Breckenridge on
the I'd of January, 1868, our regiment
went forward at a run and we kept
running until We struck the confeder-
ates' reserve. We were almost upon
a full battery, when the six guns blazed
away with shot and shell. We dropped
down in the mud while that battery
pounded away at us, throwing all sorts
or things at us. We could see the fuse
shells in the air as they came from
guns further to the rear, and as dark
ness came we could see the lines made
by the shells coming from the battery
near us. All the men were quiet as
mice, but IN the lull one man near me
said in an unconcerned way: The
man who says you can't see a cannon
ball in the air is a liar This was so
pertinent that a dozen men laughed,
and there was a chuckle in front A
little later the battery wasn't there.
THE cool fellows were not all on our
side. In one of our charges on the 31st
of December. 1862, we were just ready
to pick up two guns of a battery, when
the drivers came up, each with four
horses, at a gallop. made a feint of
riding over us, wheeled in a magnif-
cent sweep, caught up the two guns,
and, making another sweep across our
front. galloped away. Not half the
men fired, and the captain, turningupon
the fellows who were watching the
confederates' maneuvers admiringly.
Numbered: why in hell don't you
shoot?' Just then one of the confed-
crate drivers turned in his saddle, and
