Primary Elections.
cLAnksnune plsrnlcr. Sept. IA. Y


Mr.. Editor IL have seen good deal ofpo-
liiical warfare in my time, and being u demo-
Graf by nature, as well as by name, | hope, for
the future peace and harmony Of the party,
for the plan Of holding primary meetings, ! am
about TO propose, will receive that considera-
ton which lis Importance demands If there
is any thing deteslable on earth, il Is the domi-
nation of one white man over another, wheth-
crit is accomplished by physical force or by
low cunning. But it really does seem 10
me that The present manner of taking the
sense Of the democratic voters of the county,
as to who shall and who shall not be candi-
dates for public favor, is the very best means
that could be devised to defeat the object pro-
posed
! will further promise, that | cheerfully ac-
quit the gentlemen whose names have been
presented by the recent County Convention
of any unfairness in procuring their own Sc
lection-in fact, the nominations have my
cordial appreciation, as they shall have my
support-bnt that does not settle the question
as to the fundamentally by which such nomi-
lions were brought about.
Without further comment, | will suggest
plan, which, if adopted will render undue
advantage, by any person, utterly impossible.
Let meetings be called in the usual way, and
chairman and secretary be appointed, whose
duty it shall be to designate FIVE persons from
among those present, to retire and report to
the meeting the names Of 100 members Of the
party (whetber present or not, each name 10
be written on separate slip of paper and
the whole 100 named placed in hat or box,
and, after being carefully shaken up and well
intermixed, to the satisfaction of all present,
The chairman 10 designate person present to
draw out, Tone at n time, twenty-five names
and the first twenty-five, so drawn out, to
constitute the delegation from that district to
the County Convention, and so recorded
among the proceedings.

The State Finances.

The Baltimore Sun Of Friday last, in n ar
ticle on the finances Of the Stale, makes the
following sensible remarks in regard to their
management, and the senseess twadde, Of
which we have heard so much lately, about
corruption, robbery" ''rings, etc
SIN view of the effort which has been made
by anti-conseryative elements to take advan-
tage of the strong feeling Of repugnance ex-
isting in this city 10 some OF The nominations
on the local tickets for the Legislature and
city council land which without doubt ought
to he reformed } for the purpose OF eifecIing
q bigoted crusade throughout the Stale against
the democratic-conservatiye candidate for
Governor, and AT the same time endeavoring
to make it appear that the MONEYS of the
State had been squan dered lis finances ieop-
ardized, &c, it WAS highly proper that the
address which has just been put forth 10y the
democratic-conservative State central com
mit,ee should have given attention to the con-
dilion of The State treasury. The state Of
the finances of the Commonwealth, as pre-
scented in the address, ought to be a subject
of satisfaction and pride to all its citizens.
We have, with all Others who take An interest
in such matters, been well aware Of The ex-
cellent financial condition of the State, and
il is but confirmed by The facts and figures Of
this document. The credit OF the State is al

quarters as among the safest Of investments,
Tor which the largest price is paid. There
few States in which the taxes are as low
as they are in Maryland there being since
1872 no direct tax imposed on the people
for the support Of the State government.
1t is besides mentioned, which will no doubt
be news to some, that By the assessment law
passed al the last session Of the Legislature
nll charch property other than the church
buildings themselves and the parsonages were
made subject TO assessment and taxation on
the same basis as other property
With regard to the dent of the State, it
has been steady and largely reduced-and
this Notwithstanding the fact that great
deal Of money was at time paid out of the
treasury under bounty acts, which, since the
war, The State assumed the obligation TO pay,
and, Of course, with the assent not simply of
one political party"

CAN'T VIVA correspondent of The Bal.
timore Gazette, writing from Cumberland has
the following 10 say in regard to the black
and tan owNothing ticket:
"Mr. J. Morrison Harris does not seem tc
be acceptable to the Republicans of this coun-
ty as suitable independent candidate fol
Governor, and the fact that he was elected to
Congress from Baltimore city during the Plug
Ugly days, by the KnowNothng party, upon
the platform OF religious persecution and sour
rious denunciation OF the Democracy will be
sufficient of itself TO prevent even a dissatisfied
Democrat who is curiosity in this county
from voting for him. Mr.. Harris appearance
upon the field as an applicant for Democratic
votes, in Western Maryland at least, will re-
suit in those counties polling every Democratic
vote for the Hon. John Lee Carroll, our next
Governor"
So far as our county is concerned this is
certainly the feeling of every Democrat, and
leaving past differences to die they re resolv-
ed to stand shoulder to shoulder n the coming
campaign in support of the State and county
ticket.

the farmers and Patrons of Husbandry

Quoted by the Brothers and Sisters of the Great
Falls Grange, upon the grounds of Brother
Philip Stone, took place on Friday the 18th.
A few hours were delightfully."- and prolta-
bly, spent in discussing tie merits of the ordir
ofthe Patrons of Hushandry as well as the gredt
merits of the sumptuous dinner, and the ele-
giant accompaniment, most skillfully prepar-
ed, tasefully arranged, and gracefully served,
by our fair, worthy Sisters, and their and
our friends.
1t was most enjoyable a0air as well as
festival.
Such gatherings are productive of good
and fraterna feelings among farmers, and
enhance their interests and enjoyments, in
a large degree. May they and every Other
means within reach, be employed, to bind
the farming community together, and thus
strengthen their hands and improve them
mentally and morally, and the good effect will
be felt everywhere Throughout the length and
breadth of our land.

on the track was crushed and scattered all
over the road.
