The Republican nominee was selected
at Aberdeen last Tuesday, in the per
son Of Robert Garrett. OF Baltimore
county. He is a millionaire. and the
Republicans consider they have achieved
a triumph in inducing him TO make the
race. Whether ne can be elected is
another question.

Harrison Garrett and a nephew OF the
late Robert Garrett. who for a number
OF years was president OF the Baltimore

acknowledged leader, and they follow
him. McCOmas Is down and out
