Mr. Garrett, the nominee, is a sou of the late T. Harrison Garrett, and a nephew of the late Robert Garrett, who for a number of years was president of the Baltimore Ohio railroad. He is in his 29th year, and is a graduate of Princeton University.The Port Deposit Press says it has information to the effect that a certain Klkton attorney told the proprietor of a Port Deposit speak-easy to save up $500 and in the event of his arrest he would have him acquitted. That speak-easy keeper and attorney are on a level with one another and both should be given a term at Jessup’s Cut, the4 one for violation of the law and the other for being an accessory.That both old parties are a unit on the money question and are satisfied for the banks to continue to run the finances of the government without hinderance, there is no room for doubt. The republican platform declares for the gold standard, while the democrats are silent on the subject but have a candidate who made himself solid with Wall street by his gold-plated telegram. Whichever party is successful the banks will continue to issue the paper money and draw on the United States Treasurer whenever there is a money stringency. No such thing as government hanks, where the borrower would receive the benefit of a low rate of interest and any profit accruing from the use of the money in the U. S. Treasurer’s hands would go to the whole people, and not a few bankers only, will ever he as long as Wall street is permitted to run the government.
