lie maryland HfeSS on the nominations.
From the Cecil Democrat.
The Convention presents to the Democracy of
Maryland strong ticket. John Lee Carroll is
a gentleman no Marylander should hesitate to
cast his vote for. He is the great grandson of
Charles Carroll of Carrollton, and his character
is as high as his lineage. He will make Il fit
ting representative of the honor and dignity of
Maryland in 1876, as his great ancestor did in
1776.
Mr.. Gwinn Is 4 lawyer of high standing at the
Baltimore Bar, and will make an efficient At
torncy General.
Col. Levin Wooford has filled the position
for which he is re-nominated long enough to
thoroughly understand its duties, and he is by
common consent admitted to be frst.ra Of
iicer. He possesses high order of talent for
executive abilities, and his denomination by &C.
clamation was certainly very emphatic en-.
dsement of his official conduct
Let the people of Cecil forget any disappoint-
ment they may feel al the defeat of their favor
lite candidates and rally to the support of the
ticket we present to-day as one worthy of their
earnest support.
From tie annapolis Adyertiser.
Mr.. CarrolPs name and high character will
prove tower of strength to the ticket. The
career of Col. Woolford as a financial officer
has been marked with great success, and con-
summatc ability. Mr. Gwinn is a lawyer of
high standard, and altogether the ticket is one
OF the very best that could have been selected

and prosperity of our State, we shall now stand

From the Westminster AduOcdtc.
The ticket possesses the elements of strength
and popularity. The platform is an admirable
one, just such an one rs is demanded by the ext
gencies ofthc times.
From The TOpso,,town Herald
MIR. Carroll is an honorable gentleman of fair
ability and will make an excellent Governor.
Mr. Gwinn is q distinguished lawyer of large
experience and rare legal attachments. Mr.
Woolford is too well known Tor us to speak of
him. y y The "ring' has in this instance
done more good than 1t was supposed TO be
capable of doing. We sincerely regret that it
was allowed to have any hand in our nomina-
tions, but as it has done so well on this occa.
sion we must accept its work in so far as the
nominations just made was the result of its in,

From The Prince Geo,uiaa.
Necessarily many feel disappointed and sore
over the defeat of their personal friends and
tavorites. But that is ended now, and let it be
forgotten. In our own State and others, these
contests have not been infrequent with the
Democratic party, and have resulted, we can
didly believe, less from the ambition of the cam
didates than the zeal of their friends. 1t is a
matter ofprde to us that our ranks number so
many able men with friends SO devoted. But
In these contests good men are always defeated
by othor good men, and then comes tho true
test of party fealtY and patriotism, and the true
m mil Ind lit
in triumph, girds OH his armor apd rencws the
struggle for his more fortunate competitor,
with redoubled ardor, against the common
foe.

every man who claims to be q member of the
party, TO work TO his utmost that the decision
of the Convention may be confirmed by the
people of the State.
From tie Aanapolis Republican.
Mr.. Carroll bears an enyia6lc reputation for
personal honor and integrity. He is man who
respects worth wherever it is seen, and, rs Gov
elHor of Maryland, he will BIO found the polish
ed oti1cer and the courteous gentleman, Not
one breath Of suspicion has ever tainted the
reputation of our candidate during all the years
OF his political life His character for unswery-
ing fidelity Is irreproachable, and his official
honesty unapproachable.
Col. Levin Woolford was re-nominated by nc.
clamation, for Comptroller of the Treasury, no
other name being before the convention. His
past official record eminently entities him to
this honor-he having discharged the onerous
duties OF the position with credit to himself and
with fidelity to the best interests of the State.
Hon. Charles j. NJ. Gwinn was nominated for
the Attorney Geperalship, over Hon. Daniel
Clark, of Prince Georges county, by a majority
OF ten votes. Mr.: Gwinn is known throughout
the length and breadth of the State as n gentle
man OF sterling integrity, high intellectual at
Ia lnments, an eminent lawyer and true and
faithful Democrat. His nomination cannot full
to give general satisfaction.
we congratulate the Democracy of the State
upon having so excellent ticket, and predict
for 1t tremendous majority at the November
election.

the Hon. VIM. It. Hamilton was undoubtedly
