Quite cold this morning.
I did not go to meeting but
spent most of the day in the
house. After dinner Willie &
Fanny, Dora & Edwd took a
drive in the Surry with both
horses bringing Alice Peirce with
them to supper. After spending the
evening W. F & Alice went back
to Fairfield. I wrote to F Tyson.

Lydia Ann Budd's daughter "Connie"
was here for advice & medicine.
Mrs Vedder was here to see Dora.
Afternoon I did some work at the
wood pile. Phil Robison borrowed
my horse & buggy to go to P.T. Stabler's
for their flour. After supper I went
up to the store for some tobacco and
called at the telegraph office.

Tues. Nov. 5^th, 1895

General Election day in Md. & many
other states. I drove up to Olney to the
polls, taking old Mr. Perry Leizear
with me. Brother Charles came &
remained to lunch & to supper; in
the evening (after 8.o'clk) he & I went
over to the Lyceum to hear returns
from the elections: we left there
about 10.30 after being satisfied
that "Lowndes" (the Anti German man")
had been elected Governor. C going

Wednesday 6^th

"Loundes" election as Govenor
confirmed. I voted for all of our
democratic County officers as I
always have done, but in order to
break up the "German Ring" I voted for
"Lowndes" for Governor as did thousands
of other real democrats. We
have elected the whole County democratic
ticket, which is a great satisfaction
to me. Bro C called at the
gate on his way to "Sharon." I walked
up to the store after dinner. After
supper Edwd went up to Hendersons
to practice on their piano.
