If yea have political aspirations--to get be-

since their State convention the Democrats
o. this county appear more detected than ever.
Ibey thought the nomination Of Mr.. Wardeld
Tor Governor would heal the differences in
their ranks. but they have been almost struck
dumb 10 find that this is not the case. The
rank and lile like Mr.. Warheld but they don't
like the local ticket and they frankly tell you
that they will not support il. They declare

made the ticket. This is the size Of ii and it
can't be got away from.
Mr.. Gross, the Republican nominee for
County Treasurer. is just about as handsome
as Mr. Mays, the Democratic candidate for
the same Office. Although he is of French
descent he don't speak that language, but can
walk Spanish" just a good as Mr.. Mays or
any other 7th district hayseed. Mr.. Gross is a
first-class farmer and business man and can
sign his name to checks with the utmost facil-
ity. He has never held Office of any kind and
he can give million dollars bond if neces-
sary. That can't be said of every man.
Our young friend Biddison, candidate for
State Senator on the Democratic ticket, seems
to have been the Fairy King at the fete at the
beautiful home of Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. G.
Williams, in Long Green Valley, last Satur-
day afternoon. He just "swiped" everything
before him. IT'S shame, but we must tell
it: Mrs. Biddison was at home taking care of
two pretty little children while her husband
was making those Long Greenies look like
30 cents. Ny, my, but amt it awful
The poor" racket is being worked already
in the hope of helping some of the candidates
on the Democratic ticket in this county. The
public generally has very little concern about
the poverty of candidate and public offices
were not established to prevent financial
wrecks, although it is estimated that the can
didates on the Democratic ticket have already
received as salaries in former years nearly
$3.50, 1000 of the taxpayers money.
An 9Th district Republican who was in Tow
son on Monday asked Didn't the - is
sue paper last week." referring to a certain
Towson weekly. Upon being informed that
it did he said he hadn't seen a copy, but he
added, it didn't make any difference as the
people in his section always looked out for
THE UNION and if it came on time the family
circle was happy.
THE UNION publishes several more pictures
Sc 1Lok
printed last week looked like knights of the
henroost." highbinders, and such like. But
these fellows are only envious. By the time
we get through with these pictures the good
people of the county will be so impressed with
them that they just simply can't help voting
for the originals.
To examine the vote in several wards of
Baltimore city will disclose some very singular
facts. In several where the largest Republican
majorities are given there are very few colored
voters, and the belief is that most of these vote
the Democratic ticket. And "our friends, the
enemy" although always bowling 'nigger,"
would get every one of these if they could.
Those who would say unpleasant things
about the candidates on the local Democratic
ticket this fall must find some other vehicle
than THE UNION to express their ideas. A
public mans public record is always open to
discussion. He takes this chance when he &C.
cepts nomination for office and he must not
think it strange if the record is opened up.
The friends of Mr.. Charles H. Knox are put
ting up campaign of their own and they in
tend to make things lively. In the south
eastern section of the county they have already
organized four Knox and anti-Talbott clubs
and they have held meetings with bands of
music and fervid oratory in which Mr.. Talbot
and his ticket are handled without gloves.
A plank in the Republicans party's plat
form this year reads as follows: "A Republi-
can Governor and Legislature will bring back
to the people fair election law. A Demo.
cratic Governor and Legislature are pledged
to complicate the ballot, to confuse the voter,
to throw out the vote after it is cast and to ex-
tend the Acknowledgement of the people,"
Six weeks from next Tuesday will be cleo
tion day. These weeks will slip around quick
ly and in that time the opportunities for regis
tration are few. To find when these occur
consult the advertising columns of THE UNION. |
II your name is not already on the books you
must have il placed there, otherwise you can
not vote in November.
Our Democratic friends are already putting |
up jobs to capture the "nigger" vote that they |
profess to hold in such utter disgust. When |
q niger votes the Republican ticket he's a |
very low down fellow in their estimation, but |
when they can buy him, or capture him by |
other means, he's all right. Strange, isn't it? |
Mr.. Henry P. Mann, one of the Democratic |
for County Commissioner, attended |
an ox-roast at a public house on the Belair |
road, few days ago. but his stay there was
brief. He found to his sorrow that in all the
big crowd, composed mostly of Democrats, the |
Mann element was exceedingly slim:
A large number of dissatisfied Democrats |
from the outlying districts were in Towson
early this week and they did not hesitate to
say what they propose to do on election DAY.
If even half of them stick to their present in
tention it will be cold day for somebody on
the Sd of November next.
The Republican candidates are very much
pleased with the outlook in this county. They
have not yet opened what they call their
strenuous campaign, but that will come
along in due time. So far as the preliminary
goes they are more than pleased
with the outlook
Agentleman from district, always strong
" Democratic, was in Towson this week and
was asked by Democratic friend: "How are
hings in your district this year2" The reply
was: I'm a very unsettled condition" And
hat appears to be the size of it all around.
The "nigger'' buggaboo will not go for any
hing in this campaign. The people intend
hat this year shall be a repetition of '95-only
more so. The Talbot phalanx is on the run.
This becomes more apparent every day.
