COUNTY OaGAsIzArioN.-By the
middle Of September. the Congression-
al and Electoral candidates of the dem
ocratic party in our State will have
been placed in nomination. As this
time Is near. at hand and a. the duty
and necessity of organization are as i'm
Peratise upon our party here as else
where, IL not more 30 in view Of GER
tam peculiarities of our situation, we
are called upon to initiate organization
at once or to meet the consequences and
results Of a half hearted and ineffi-
Gent campaign. ]. NAV be true, that
the vote 81 Maryland under almost any
circumstances is assured to Tilden, but
a. long as IL IL not assured under all
circumstances. the obligation to work
remains. If it is . credit to our State
in the coming Presidential election to
ally itself with Reform and Honest Gov
ernmcnt, Il is . still higher credit to
do this with overwhelming force. II
should be borne in mind, also, that in
two at least Of the Congressional dis
,ricts og our State. the strength Of par
ties is very evenly balanced, that these
districts sometimes alternate in their
party preferences in the short space Of
two years and that this has lately been
the case in our own district. Howev-
er certain, therefore, it may be that
Maryland will cast her electoral vote
for Tilden, it is not certain that she
will also send united democratic del
egation to Congress, and it is proba-
bic she viii not send democrats at all
from the two doubtful districts refer
red To. unless the party is thorough
w organized in these sections. Effici-
cient organization for Tilden therefore
means, not only $4,000 majority for the
democratic electors, but the certain re-
turn Of q united democratic delegation
to Congress. Our readers do not re-
quire to be told that q democratic Con-
gress is rs important a factor to the
well-being Of the country at this time
as democratic president. II is both

The State and Congressional organi-
xafions should therefore be made to
work together and to assist each other.
But we are chiefly concerned with par
~ organization in our own county, and
we take pleasure in announcing in this
connection, that our County Central
Committee has commenced the good
work by calling a mass meeting Of the
democracy of the county at the Court
House, Lconardtown on the LIST Tues
day in September Court. II is cxpcc-

gre>s-llenkle, OF courSe.-wi,h the
democratic elector for this district will
be present and address the meeting.
The meeting in question will be but pre-
hminary 10 other and harder work.
From that meeting will go forth the pro-
gfamme for the county campaign. twill
embrace the formation Of Tilden clubs
in each district, the erection of Tilden
poles. the appointment of district can.
wasting Committees and Committees on
Registration, the arrangements for sub
sequent meetings and all other provis-
ions necessary for putting the demo-
crazy of the county on a sound war
footing. And the sentiment Of the par
ty.here Is propitiOGs for this work. II
is now both earnest and united and i,
knows II has never been beaten when
in this temper and condition. Its pride
Is involved in recovering the ground il
has host by unfortunate divisions in its
own ranks and II is prepared and anx-
ious 20 show that II is entitled tn rule
this county and means 10 do il. In the
meanwhile, let the young men Of the
different districts commence ut once the
formation Of Tilden clubs and the erec.
ton of Tilden poles in their differen,
localities. In these regards. there is no
necessity for awaiting the action Of the
meeting in Court. The work Of this
meeting will be facilitated by these club
formations. which will be treated with
approsaland CONNIE nda,ion BY the par.
~ authorities. Now, which district " in
form the lst Tilden club aud throw "a
the breeze the lst Tilden banner.
