Mr.. Editor Following the example
of your correspondents "Observer" and
Democrat" / propose saying few
words in commentator Of that ''true
man and sterling Democrat" DIR. T. A.
Lynch, whose name is before the pub
lie as a candidate for the Senate of Ma
ryland. 1t is the impression of the
writer that the Doctors claims to the
support and confidence of the Demo-
Gratis Of this county are SECOND to no
mans whose name has been announced
through your paper. will mention a
few reasons for that opinion. "No
doubtful or uncertain sound" has ever
emanated from his lips about the sup
port of Democratic men and measures,
and he has ever been ready with voice
and means in promoting the election of
his party nominees from the highest to
the lowest. As to the Doctors ability
and representative capacity, I presume
there can be but one opinion with those
who know him well, and i fiatter my
self he will not suffer in this respect in
comparison with the other gentlemen
whose names are before the public a.
aspirants for the same position. What
recognition BY the party has the Doc
tors services ever received |! None that
/ have heard Of. The Doctor is strong
man with the masses of the Democratic
party throughout the county, and would
make inroads upon the enemy. But

The PRrxARIEs.-Saturday next, the
10th instant, having been set arart by
our party authorities as the day for the
meeting ofthe "primaries" in our county,
We hope that there may be a generalturn.
out and a fair trial of strength between
friends ofthe differentaspirants for State
positions and that all quarrelings and
rt-burnings, if any, may be allowed
toterminate with this initial proceeding.
It should be remembered, that every
democrat u entitled to vote his choice
in these primaries" and that it is no
disparagement to his loyalty to vote for
delegates favoring any named or unnam-
ed aspirant. We all have right to our
personal preferences until the majority
has decided, when the principle inures,
to stand by the standard bearer, fairly
made, because he is the standard bearer.
Thus, whether our leader be Groome.
Hamilton or Carroll or some other
democrat. the obligation to support him
is imperative and just as imperative in
the case of one democrat as another.
Before the State Council of the party
speaks, the contest is contest merely
about men-when it does speak, it be.
comes contest for principle.

Mr. Editor II have noticed several
communications in the BEACON recent
ly expressive Of preferences for the diff
ferent candidates for Gubernatorial hon.
ors. But none Of them have impressed
me so favorably as those written in ia
vor of our present model and exempla-
nv Governor, Groome, who, during the
short time he has been in Office, has dis
charged his duties in a manner in the
highest degree, rejecting honor upon
himself and the position he holds
Governor Groome, as is well known, was
elected by the Legislature to serve out
the unexpired term Of Gov. Whyte. He
has enjoyed the henors of his Office but
q short time, and believe it il prin-
ciple generally acted upon, that where
a public officer discharges his duty
faithfully. he shall receive some en-
dorsement. No influence could swerve
him or deter him from pursuing the
straightforward course he marked out
for himself, but having determined upon
line of duty he pursues it with inaex-
ible integrity, adjoining with the bright
est honors the Office he so worthily &C.
cupies. That he is not under the in
fluences Of the rings and other infiuen-
ces Of Baltimore is all the more to his
honor. They could not hope to con-
troll him, and hence have gone against
him. 1t is now for the counties to sus-
tain the man who has will of his own,
and who has proven himself 50 faithful
to their interests and who can say to
the powers that be,
"Let them pull all about mine ca rs-preseut me
Death on the wheel or at wild no rses' heels
Ye, will still be thus"
One in whom ''the elements are so mix
ed, that nature might stand up and say
to all the world this is a man" The
counties will thus assert their indepen-
dence and rcbuke the domineering spir.
it Of the monumental city, which has SO
long been controlling the political af-
fairs Of the State. For the religious
bigotry sought to be infused into this
campaign, discard it as unworthy Of
notice. As a Catholic l shall sustain
Governor Groome, in the full confidence
that the interests of all denominations
will be safe in his hands as they would
be in the hands Of either of the gentle
men named in connection with the Office
Of Governor, all of whom believe to be
gentlemen of unstained honor and rep
utation.

original correspondence has compelled
a discrimination on our part between
contributors and has necessitated the
postponement Of much original matter
which would have otherwise appeared
IN its regular order. Our study has
been to give publicity to writings Of
local and current interest first and to
avoid duplicating articles on the same

about being removed from discussion
