Democratic Opinion of the Repub-
Iicnal Ticket.

LLcU71 11cIc6C.
The following endorsement of the Republic
can candidates appeared in the Maryland Jour
nal of Sept. 18th, 1s73-the first issue after the
nominations had been made:
"Mr. Whtelock is a we'll known merchant,
gentleman of intelligence and responsibility,
and il elected, would doubtless make careful
and Jealous legislator.
"Wm. II. Hoffman Is a we'll known citizen of
the 9th District, and probably the best political
schemer and wire-puller in the Radical ranks.
With these qualifications and good degree OF
intelligence, he is the very man to cut out work
for others to perform, and he is not averse to
working with his own hands, even far into the
night, as we have past proof. II e is q danger
Gus man, politically, as he recognizes means to
accom- iish an end. He served a term in the
House of Delegates during the proscriptve
days after SOL, aud done his share of persecu-
ton which has not been forgotten to this day.
Socially he is exceedingly polite and agreeable
and where his sympathies have been brought
into question, acts with generosity and kind
ness.
"Horace Abbott is prominent citizen of the
9th District, and the head of the Abbott Iron
Company, at Canton. He has not been select
ed from political considerations, but from that
prudential fact which usually lends such valu-
able aid in the successful conduct of a canvas,
which enters largely into its elements of sue
cess. He is an honorable, high toned gentle
man, and if sent to Annapolis would doubtless
reflect credit upon Baltimore county, as well as
upon himself.
"James E. Hooper is citizen of the 9th Dis
trict, and is proprietor of the extensive cotton
mills known the Clipper Mills, at Woodber-
nv. He stands desery eddy high in the conf
dence of the people among whom he has so long
and 81 successful IL labored. He has been
candidate for the House of Delegates hereto
IL e
tleman OF intelligence, moderate in his views
and would make an exceedingly busy and use
full member of the House of delegates. 1t is
generally understood that he and Mr.. Abbott
are not averse IT, the extension of the city limits.
"JAs. W. Brady is citizen of the lst Dis
trict. We know nothing Of him, and willco
seQuently say nothing.
DIR. Reuben Il. Jones is citizen OF the TIN
District, and for many years has been dabbling
in political matters. He has & ways been re-
lied upon to carry his District when his party
was in power, and has exercised considerable
influence in shaping the affairs of his party
He has Intelligence sufficient to make good
legislator. and among his own people stands
well, which is always good guarantee.
"IIon D. G. II. Emory of the Sth district, the
candidate tor Clerk of the Court, is well and ia
vorably known. He is at present prominent
member of the bar, and was few years since
Judge of the CT cult Court. No person doubts
his ability to properly conduct the duties OF the
office for which be is a candidate. He is with
out doubt the strongest man upon the ticket,
and stands deservcdly high among all classes
of men. If elected he would be an honor to
Baltimore county.
"John L. Turner of The Sd district, the can
ddate for Register of Wills, is we'll known as a
high toned honorable gentleman, and is a
strong man. He will doubtless poll the full
| strength of his party, but he has no peculiar
f,rt ha Il icn ior IF n
! fee for which he is a candidate beyond being
| an intelligent gentleman and good clerk.
"E. S. Everhart, of the 18th district, is entire
| " unknown except in the vicinity OF New
Market, where he resides, and where he is very
popular lie is gentleman highly respected,
and believed fully qualified to make good
! Sheriff, if elected.
.'Thos. II. Matthews, 6th district, Saml Mil
Ter, 18th, and Robert Corse, 18th, the candidates
| for County Comm issiOners, are generally we'll
| known.
"Mr. Matthews has for number of years
been engaged in extensive milling operations.
| lie is regarded as a shrewd, careful business
| man.
"Mr. Miller is a self-made man, and very
| popular among all classes of people whore he
| resides, at Monkton.
"Mr. Corse is a resident of the 18th district,
and the proprietor of extensive nurseries there.
He is regarded as good man for the position
| tor which he has been nominated.
"H. Clay Longnecker, the candidate for Treas
urer, is too well known to need pedigree from
| our hands When elected he will either be
obliged to cut of the legs of the Treasurers high
| desk, or increase the legs of Mr.. HoshalPs high
stool. He can take his choice"
OF the same Convention and its nominations
the baltimore County Herald of 18th September
speaks as follows:
"TnE REPUBLICAN CoNvENrIoN.-This gather
| ing assembled in the Court House upon the adj
| iournment of the court Wednesday, with full
attendance from all the districts of the county.
| So far as we were able to see, there was an en-
tire absence of anything like log rolling end
I wire pulling, although the number of candi-
dates was very large and an apparent determi-
nation on the part of the delegates to sacrifice
all local preudices in order to secure good NOM
| inations. As stated, there were great many
aspirants for Office, yet a large majority of those
| nominated were men who neither sought nor
| wished for the nominations given them. What
| ever may be said of the convention and the
ticket selected by it, all who witnessed its pro-
ceedings must have been struck with the forci-
BILE illustration of the odd fogy' and well nigh
| played out principle, that 'the Office should
seek the man..
1--WE must say, the convention nominated a
good ticket throughout, and one which will
| have weight with the people in the coming
| election. large majority of those nominated
| in fact we may say all, have the confidence, re-
spect and good will of their neighbors, and few,
| if any of them, have made themselves particu-
| larly obnoxious to their political opponents in
times when political feeling was most intense"
