SENATOR ROBINSON IS LEADER.

Senator Thomas n. Robinson. of this
county. acted as president pro tenn of the
Senate on Wednesday and administered
the oath of office to the newly elected
members. Mr. Robinson will be the de-
mocratic leader on the floor. The Balti-
more Sun inits Annapolis correspondence
pays him the following tribute:
Senator Thomas II. Robinson, of
Hartford, wko will be, by general consent
and by virtue of his proposed appoint
ment as chairman of the Finance Com
mittee, the majority leader of the Senate,
was elected President pro tenn. He adj
ministered the oath of office to the new
Senators and made brief and excellent
speech, in which he referred to the inn
portance of the work before the Legisla-
ture. Some of this work, he said, will
not only attract the attention of Mary
land but of many beyond its borders. 1t
is probable that he had in mind the pro.
posed disfranchisement of illiterate
negroes, which is being discussed by the
press all over the country.

On Monday, Sheriff Stevenson A
Whiteford assumed the duties of his office
relieving ex-Sheriff Fred W. Reasin, who
has occupied this position for the past
two years. Sheriff Rcasin has filled this
place in most acceptable manner, and
by his strict demeanOr has brought the
office up to a high standard. When he
entered public life, he was unknown to
MANY persons. but his conduct has been
of such a nature as to enable him to re-
ceive the unqualified endorsement of
everybody. The duties of the office of |
sheriff sometimes involve unpleasant ex-
actions, but Sheriff Reasin has executed |
every warrant in a manner which be- !
tokens a refinement that extends SYM
patty to all the unfortunates with whom
his official duties brought him in contact.
He goes back to private life with the en-
dorsement of the people as having been
one of the best public officials the county
has ever had.
