In 1urmoH-The Democrats Of Worcester
County are in hot water. A ticket wa'
nominated last week, but the rank and filt
OF the party will not support it. A cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun says
This ticket gives little satisfaction to eithe
old Democrats or Conservatives. There will
be one independent Democratic ticket, .anC
most probably two. Personally there is no
much objection to some men on the ticket, bu
the opposition is because Of the mode Of effect
ing the nominations. So fearful are some o.
the evidences of defeat that the Shield" o
this town, is already authorized to publish tn,
3 withdrawal of one candidate and there vii
e probably be two other Withdrawals published
