The Baltimore County union. [volume] (Towsontown, Md.) 1865-1909, 1904-09-03


A party at the Republican Club
were taking about the Presidents.
One said it was rather curious that
no Presidential candidate and no
President had ever split his name in
the middle. One Vice. Presidential
candidate did SO. And he was named
B. Gratz Brown.
This reminded another that in the
long list Of Presidents there were
only two instances in which names
had been duplicated-John Adams
and John Quincy Adams, and Viii
liam Henry Harrison and Benjamin
Harrison.
"And in both instances they were
of kim" said another.
"But there were two Presidents, "
chimed in a veteran, "who had the
same Christian name, and whose
family names began with the same
letter. Andrew Jackson and Andrew
Johnson.
The man who started the talk re-
called that there had been three
Johns in the White House. He mem
toned the two Adamses and Tyler.
"But James was the favorite
Christian name for Presidents" was
the reply. @You may recall that we
