-MrJacob Elliott, of the rock ribbed "feefth
deestrict," is often seen about Towson just
now. He is the same old Jake that has had
the sheriffalty bee buzzing in his bonnet for so
many years. and he is still hot on the hunt OF
that delusive insect. Perhaps he may catch
il this year-but there are others. Ii common
report be true the 9th district is the bright par
ticuar star in Baltimore county's galaxy in
which the use of money at primary elections
is all powerful. There the longest pole always
knocks the persimmon-in other words the
man who can show the most hard cash, no mat
ter what side he is on-always wins out. This
is disgraceful state of affairs and should be
enough to insure the defeat of any man from
that district who shows his head in county
convention for nomination to office. The line
should he drawn somewhere, il respectable
politics count for anything. Why not make
an example of the 9th district aud turn down
all candidates from there unless they are able
to show beyond doubt that their delegates
were elected to the convention through fair
and honorable methodist
