"My Maryland. y

A Washington dispatch says: The
secret party in Maryland is evidently
becoming quite formidable, and
greatly disturbs the Democrats. 1t
has been busy at work for some time
past, holding meetings, enlisting
members, and discussing plans for
the coming campaign. Openly, the
Democrats affect to consider II of no
Importance. Secretly, there is an
anxiety and fear at Democratic head
quarters, and an intense desire to get
into the mysteries of the new party,
TO determine its mem bership, and as
certain its designs. The Democratic
newspapers produce bogus reports
of it's meetings and conventions, and
use in them the names of disreputa-
BILE politicians, who hang on its out
skirts, but are really ostracised by it.
Meanwhile the members are very
successful in keeping still tongues in
their heads They meet in close.
locked rooms, with guards at the
doors to see that nobody goes in
without giving the countersign, and
passing a satisfactory inspection.
The conclaves last for hours, and no
newspaper has ever succeeded in
getting faithful report of it. The
new party is particularly strong
with the Germans, who have been
almost soldly Democratic ever since
a Republican Legislature. Ten years
ago, passed stringent Sun day law.
Now they are falling away from the
Democratic party on the principle OF
opposition to seotarian appropriations
to which the new organization IS
pledged. Its members claim that it
is not confined to Mary land, that it
exists in other states, especially in
Ohio, where it is antagonis.ic to the
Democracy on account of the ALI
ance of that party and the Catholic

County Convention.

The County Republican Conven-
ton for purpose of placing in nomina-
ton n candidate for State Senator
and County Superintendent of
Schools is called to meet at the
Court house on September 18th.
This Will be the first Wednesday of
of court week. The call showing
the apportionmen. appears in this
issue. 1t will be observed that the
County Central Committee suggest
an important change regarding the
representation of towns in future
county conventions. That the duty
of voters in few towns has been
often neglected in the past in not
electing delegates to attend the
county convention is we'll known.
Scheming politicians are the ones
who take advantage of such neglect
and frequently manage to secure "a
friend" as "a delegate" who may or
may not represent the wishes Of the
town he is selected to represent.
We think the suggestion good one,
and if carried out will tend to cor
rect one of the evils of the caucus
system.

Everything passed off happily.
That uncertain monitor, the weather,
was as favorable as could be desired.
Friends separated with a parting
goodnight soon after IL o'clock.
On Tuesday morning the bridal
party, with parents families and Wis
itors, repaired to Specht's Ferry,
where several hours were spent. row.
ing in boats, climbing bluffs, gather
ing ferns and picnicking. In the
evening Mr.. and Mrs. Edward D.
Eaton took the train for Chicago.
They go thence to Niagara, where they
will spend day, and thence to New
York, where many of their friends in
the East will greet them. On the
28th instant they take passage on the
steamer Elysia, of the Anchor line,
for Glasgow. They viii make tour
of Scotland and England, and will
then go to Germany. There Mr..
Eaton will take the benefit of a year
of study, probably in the University
of Leipsic. Before returning home
they will see the beauties and visit
scenes of interest. on the Rhine and
in the states of Europe. The kind
regards and the prayers of thousand
friends follow them. There was
a happy union and there was
a sad parting. 1t is hard to part with
friends, leaving them to go so far away
among strangers and to remain so long
time; to be so remote from near and
dear friends and separated from them
by the great waters. They who go
think such sacrifices almost uncndur-
able. But great accomplishments are
obtained only by great sacrifices.
Great deeds crown great struggles.
And the sacrifice in such cases as this
is not all on the part Of those going.
The friends at home weep too at the
parting and will continue wishing and
longing for the return of the absent.
''The gone are happier than those they
leave behind"

Grimwood's Body Found.

The body of Newton s. GrImwood,
the Chicago Euening Journals re.
porter, who went up in balloon six
weeks ago with the aeronaut Dom
elson, was found on Monday of last
week on the cas- ern shore of lake
Michigan, near Whitehall. On his
body were found notes written in
the balloon, and other papers, and
his watch, making Identification cer-
tain. The body was badly decom-
posed. His ife-preserve was BURST
ed. Is it not probable that Grim
wood jumped from the balloon whom
he was being dragged from wave TO
wave, and saw the little steamer
Henderson pointed towards him
The balloon then shot high up in the
air and Donelson may still have been
carried far beyond tho lake. If this
be correct Grimwood might have been
saved if the little steamer had con
tinued pursuit. Evidently his body
did not sink there or it would never
have reached the surface. The life
preserver probably bursted after his
death, by knocking about on the
beach.

A writer in the Mineral Point
Tribune over the suspicious initials of
&c. K d." urges in column article
that Hon. J. Allen Barber be the
successor of Judge Mills on the
bench of this judicial circuit. The
selection of Circuit Judge will take
place in April next. at the time of
the annual town election. The
writer speaks in high and just terms
of the ability of Mr.. Barber to fill
the position of Circuit Judge, and
cunniDgly compliments Honest Old
Joe," the present ncumbent, as a
proper man to send to Congress next
year. The people could be honestly
and honorably served with either of
the distinguished gentlemen in either
of these distinguished positions. In
the course of the article G. X. D..
makes this extraordinary assertion:
1--WE believe, that in filing Judge
"ship, no choice should be made in
Opposition to the feelings of the
"members of the Bar residing in the
"Circuit. 1t might be safe to go
"even. farther and say-that such
selection should as a rule, be left to
''the choice Of the Bar, assembled in
Convention for such purpose" We
believe the people are opposed to any
such disposition of high judicial
office. The idea seems preposterous
that the election of Circuit Judge
should be turned over to any class of
people, and especially to body of
lawyers the majority of whom are
politicians. We will trust to the good
sense of "the people" in the selection
of Circuit Judge for the next term.
