The action of the Convention on Tuesday
next will be Of the utmost importance 10 it,
bearing on our political future, and should be
esptered. upon calmly, considerably and With
an eye single to the unity and general pros
psrity Of the whole party. All personal con-
'siderations should be, As far as possible, ig-
nored and merged in the general good. For
the various Offices to be filled there are ssve-
ial aspirants, and, on the score Of fitness, we
believe little or nolobjection can b. intsrposed.
The labors of the Convention will then. TO this
extent, ct least, be relieved of an difficulty,
hut the task Of making . propsg selestio..
:xoey nusnscesszIIy U1c0f6S I6ss arduous and
.hksome. We doubt not, however, that The
Convention will enter upon this matter with
) proper spirit aud an earnest determination
! to subserve the interests of the party. OF
course, disappointment must aud will snsue.
bat let them be accepted in the proper spirit.
Harmony is and should be the great end in
view, and, to this end, let all personal ambition
be sacrificed. There is and can be no reason
able excuse for creating jealousies and divisions
in our party. Any attempt to do this will Be
visited with popular disapprobation, or. at
best, will not b productive Of Testing benefit
IN the future. In short, We would say to the
Convention, let the spirit of harmony and
Cancellation rule 10 its deliberations, and to
the disappointed aspirants after political hon
ors, we would say, also, remember that it is
the good Of the party, and not the personal
ambition Of the candidate, which is the prime
object to be attained.

from the eastern portiodlef Allegany, Of which
the Savage river shall be the eastern bounda-
~. 1t has, says the Star, the required con-
stitutional elements, OF ten thousand popula-
ton, and 40 area Of four hundred square miles.
Among the reasons for organizing the county,
the Star points to the erection Of Wicomico,
which has given the Eastern Shore an addi-
tional Senator and Delegate, and which, it
seems to think. has disturbed the political
equilibrium Of the two sections of the State.
The Star reviews the mineral resources of the
proposed county. especially the Youghigheny
basin coal, which it expects to see developed
in . marked way under the influence of the
Connellsyille Railroad, mentions other extern
sive coal deposits, alludes to the agricultural
capabilities Of the beautiful "Glades" plateau,
and finally points out that the territory pro-
posed for new county now pays 1928, 1000 q
year under the county levy, and only receives
$ls.eo4 Sc in the county appropriations
Finally the present county is one hundred
miles long, which is inconvenient for the
transaction Of county business.

chants, who have uniformly abstained from
politics heretofore, and who now accept the
nomination at the earnest solicitation Of those
desiring to promote the best interests of the
community.
The "new party movement" as it is called,
meets with but poor. encouragement. Its
chief adherents and supporters are men OF the
old "plug ugly" stripe, who have been kept
in peaceable state of restraint for some
years, and who DOW, taking advantage of a
momentary paroxysm of excitement, seek to
stir up the old feuds between Catholics and
Protestants, hoping thereby to further their
own political schemes The effort will 10
this advanced age Of enlightenment, prove ut
terly abortive. The "party" is too insigui6-
cant to excite the fears or stimulate desires
for coalition on the part Of either Democrats
or Radicals.
The new paper, styled the Baltimore Eoen-
ing Journal, made its appearance yesterday
evening for the first time. 1t is very neatly
gotten up and is filled with very readable
matter. 1t is decidedly Democratic in poll
tics and will be vigorous in its advocacy of
the principles Of that party during the COM
ing campaign. -

Mr. EDITOR: In your editorial of tie 25th
ult., you very justly remark, referring to con-
ventions, that the great point to be gained is
to secure full attendance at the primary
meetings. think the most sensible recon-
mendation of the Executive Committee will
secure that end. Heretofore there has been,
in some of the districts at least, too much
ground Of complaint as to the manner of Sc
lecting our delegates; the chairman Of the
meeting usually appointed committee of
three OF, FIVE persons who virtually chose the
entire delegation. Thus the people had little
or nothing to do with it, and no wonder they
became careless 10 their attendance. Now,
however, if this recommendation be adopted,
every qualified voter will have an equal voice
in determining who is to represent him in the
County Convention.
One object, and as you truly say most
important one, in holding conventions, is to
elicit the popular will another, and practi-
caHy Of as great consequences, is to reconcile
Of opinion, for it is only by dung
this that party can preserve that unity
