Federal Appointments Spark Baltimore Interest
The Baltimore Herald reports a likely appointment of William S. Stone as Collector of the Port, praised by city bankers and officials. Support comes from Senator Wellington, Congressman Barber, Booze, McIntire, and Baker, with McKinley poised to back Stone to bolster his Maryland administration. Opposing Postmaster Warfield faces a strong push from Malsterites and Senator-Elect McComas, though Warfield’s reappointment seems probable due to debts and ties. Also noted are ads from J C Goowin Co and Milwaukee Harvesters Co and endorsements for Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy by local merchants.
