ANGAPOLIs, Nov. "a, 1874.
The political caldrOn is already warming up
in this county. Next fall almost the whole of the
county offices will have to be hlled, viz: The
sherihalty, the register Of Wills the States at
torney, three judges Of the orphans court, three
county commissioners, and the county surveyor.
Besides these there will be elected State Sen
ator and three members of the House of Dele
gates. As to who shall secure the nomination for
Senator on the Democratic side, the oracle seems
to say Enthusiastically N. Bannon, esq, Of the
Fourth district. Who will be the Democratic
candidates for the Legislature the managers have
not yet divulged. For the sherifalty the names
OF Mr.. Z. J. Rockwell and Mr.. Thomas Nutrell
are mentioned with chances in favor OF the latter.
Nessrs. Samuel T. Mccullough, Henry Aisqueth
and W. Frank Tucker are spoken of for the posi-
ton. 1t is not known whether the incumbent,
James ReveIl, esq, who has ably filled the office
for the past sixteen years. desires a renOmina-
ton or not For the other Offices very little has
been said, but as q nomination on the Democratic
ticket in this county is almost equivalent to an
election, the time for selecting candidates ap-
proaches sufficient number Of patriots will be
found TO serve their country in her hour OF need.
Meanwhile the Republicans stand alOOC annOunc-
ing that they will make no nominations and thus
from their serene eyes they will look down upon
the scramble Of their opponents and be ready to
sTOOp down at the Opportunc moment and offer
TO the disappointed and the malcontents their

election for the corporation of Annapolis comes
ON. There Is considerable dissatisfaction mani

Gs without, the Democrats entertain some hopes
OG carrying the city. The name OF X. ViHtgH
Clayton, esq, is mentioned in connection with the
Democratic nomination for mayOralty.
II stirring will aid the project Of a shorter rail
road route from Anna polls to Baltimore, then the
enterprise will have valuable assistance. The

more via Brooklyn, in TINS county. This would

travel would Increase the amount there can
hardly be any doubt.
