THE NOMINATIONS.

We place at the head of our paper this
week the ticket nominated by the Conven-
ton which convened here on Tuesday last
and confidently ask its support by the voters
of the county, in November next. That the
friends of some of those who honestly and
sincerely urged their claims for the different
offices have been disappointed, was neces-
sary consequence, in every case where more
than one person was named for one position !;
but that any dissatisfaction exists which will
manifest itself by II refusal to support this
ticket, on the part of the Democrats of the
county, in November next we cannot be led
to believe The action of the Convention
was characterized by as much harmony as
generally prevails in bodies of this kind, and
the ticket formed rs the result of its deliber-
atoms, we are sure is such rs must awaken
the enthusiasm of the party, and rally to its
support, at the coming election, the true and
earnest men identified with the Democracy,
throughout the length and breadth of the
county. Let us not however, because of our
undoubtcd ability to elect this ticket, suffer
ourselves to sink into inaction i'll its behalf,
through fancied security, or relax an effort to
bring out all the friends of the cause, in No
vcmbcr next. AS we have had occasion fire.
quently to remark before, much depends
on retaining our organization here unim-
paired; and we congratulate the voters of
Hartford on the ticket placed this week at the
head of our columns, believing it will go far
to increase the security of our party, in the
day of its present triumph and in its future
conflicts

Affairs at Havra de Grace

Our town has been and is still very dull
The coal business has begun to look up lit
tie, and promises a rush, now that the miners
have gone to work again. Coal has gone
down one dollar on a ton, in the last two
weeks.
The Furnace here was offered for sale as
per advertisement, and q bid of 1886, 900 re-
ceived, which was refused. 1t is hoped that
they will start it again, as it gives employ
ment to a number of men here.
Bishop Spaulding confirmed GO persons at
the Roman Catholic Church on last Sunday.
Our primary meeting had the appearance
of general election. Both sides were out
in full force. All passed off quietly, except
that one side bolted within ten minutes OF
the closing of the polls.
The colored camp at Hoke's Woods was
well attended, and all passed off quietly.
A committee have been to look at Hoke's
Woods, and from the opinion of the commit
tee, it is hoped they will decide to hold the
National Camp at the place named. The
camp was held at Round Lake, New York,
this year, and was an immense affair, some
10000 persons being on the ground at one
time.
Our town seems deserted to-day, nearly all
the men having gone to Bel Air, to fight
over the spoils Yours,

The Maryland Central Railroad.

We would remind our readers that an adj
journed meeting in the interest of this road
viii Je held at the Court House, in this place,
on Tuesday of next week. The citizens of
Baltimore county, along the line of the pro-
posed route, will also unite with us in this
meeting, and doubtless many matters of in
terest in relation to theroad will be discussed.
The various committees to solicit subscrip-
tons for the work, were granted further time
to report, by the meeting held here on the
third of August last, and it is expected that
these will in most cases be ready at this meet
ing to render full accounts of their action in
the matter. Do not allow these meet
ings to decrease in interest, from the want of
full turnout of the friends of the road, but
let all be on hand, and ready and willing to
take counsel together as to the best and most
practicable means of pushing forward the
work. Meanwhile, as preparatory to the
meeting, we hope the committees and all
others who shall cooperate with them, will
bestir themselves in earnest to ascertain
what amount can be realized by subscription,
to commence the work with.

~" When a gentleman asked celebrated
divine the other day how long he had been
in preparing a certain sermon in which he
had displayed even more than his great aver
age ability, the reply was, "a long time sir!
So if any one were to ask Helmbold, the eel
ebrated New York druggist, how long he had
been in building up and perfecting that adj
mirable system of advertising which has
made him, beyond question, the peer of the
merchant princes, he might, with proprietY
reply by pointing to the long years that
have elapsed since, as q beginner in life,
he first invested his gains in the columns of
the newspaper press, with confidence that,
like bread cast upon the waters, the returns
would be both ample and sure And, while
yet young man, Helmbold finds himself q
millionaire with business upon his hands
which, despite all the contingencies of trade,
is constantly increasing. How much of this
business is due to the liberal and extended
system of advertising, of which this gentle
man is the most prominent representative, is
not difficult to ascertain, and is the best argu-
ment in vindication of system which, it is
due to say, is every day gaining ground
among the live and cnterprising business men
of the century.
Helmbolds drug store, No 5O4 Broadway,
New York city, is in all respects model es-
adjustment, and is pronounced by all who
visit it the best on continent. Among the
specialties which Helmbold has placed promi-
nently before the public are his now famous
Fluid EXtracts-Buchu and Sarsaparilla.-
These fluid extracts have been endorsed by
the medical faculty, and are quite generally
used by physicians in their private practice.
They are therefore genuine preparations, and
as such are entitled to public confidence
Buchu has long been pronounced by physi-
clans one of the best diuretics known to sci
ence, and as compounded in Helmbold's Ex-
tract is doubtless the best specific for those
affections for which it is recommended.
