10 Some time ago the Board of County Com
missioners appointed George F. Chambers, who
was at the time a member of the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee of this county, lamplighter at
Clifton at a salary of $40 per month, he to fur
nish the oil, &C., the cost of which was to be in
cluded in the $40. Since then number of croak-
ers have been finding fault with Mr.. Corse for
making the appointment, and actually refuse to
vote for him, without knowing anything about
the facts. The people of Clifton desired to have
their lamps furnished and attended to as reason
ably possible, and to that end asked for propo-
sails for the service. Chambers was the lowest
bidder when all interested united in petition to
the County Commissioners, stating the facts and
asking for his appointment, which was accord
ingly made. That is the whole story and the
true one. The same people also complain of the
appointment of Frank J. Stuart as Waterman at
the new bridge over Back River and vicinity,
18th district. The people in that neighborhood
had been much annoyed by men coming out from
the city and committing depredations, and long
petition signed by Democrats and Republicans,
was forwarded to the Commissioners asking that
they appoint Mr.. Stuart as Waterman, which the
Board did forthwith. Mr.. Stuart is a good officer
and discharges his duties faithfully.
These are the two cases which seem to be the
head and front of Mr.. Corse's offending. We
would ask these fault-fnding and over jealous
croakers what else the Commissioners could have
done under the circumstances? They did their
duty and they deserve credit for it.

EG~The Journal of last week tries to slur the

the proceedings Baltimore County Republican

convention was composed of, politically Y res
ident, Mr.. ]. Henry Geise, is a well-kn,~n Dem
ocrat of the 4th district, and was within year or
two past member of the School Board; Mr.. W.
Frank Mitchell, one of the secretaries, is one of
the prOprietors of the Herald, is now and always
has been Democrat; DR.. James Gore, August
Burk and Joshua Tracey, delegates from the 4th
district are Democrats Joshua L. Benson. 9Th
district is a Democrat; Zachariah Alban. 9th dis
trict, is known throughout the county as lie
long Democrat, and was no doubt a member of
and voted with that party before Mr.. Ruby came
to Maryland fiom Pennsylvania; Sam1 T. Bayne,
9th district, is Democrat; Henry Wem2e, 18th
district, and John C. Goldsborough and Wesley
B. COursey, 18th district are Democrats, besides
a number Of other delegates, whose names we can
not call to mind, are now and always have been
Democrats. The journal also says that but two
of the gentlemen nominated are Democrats. This
the editor knew to be untrue when he wrote it.
Seven of the twelve nominees ale Democrats, and
well the editor knew it, but he was afraid to say
so. The whole thing is a very lame dodge on tie
part of the Journal, and is so thin that any one
can see through it.

For County Surveyor,
WILLIAM ROUSSAY, LIST distric

WILLIAM R0USSAY, LIST district.
Here are the three tickets, and it would seem
that this fall, at least, the voter will experience
no trouble in selecting good men for whom to cast
his ballot.
All the various elements in opposition to the
democracy constituted seem to have the
same object in view. This being the case, we
would suggest that all come together and agree on
one ticket, composed of representatives from each,
and the victory will be an easy one forus. Do not
postpone this very important matter for day
or week. Act at once
We with pleasure lay before our readers to-day
a communication from an intelligent gentleman
on this subject. His suggestions are excellent
and we hope to see them acted upon.

the Worthington ticket is untrue. We have the
authority of Democrat for saying that all said

The Washington fire department was unable to
fight the flames successfully and when this was

A REMARKABLE MAN.-The late primary meet
ings have made prominent at least one remarka-
BILE man. He is credited with the election of al
the successful candidates and the defeat of many
that were not elected. He is now charged with
running over the county letting peoples stock cut
of their pasture fields, destroying fences, killing
sheep and burning barns and wrecking railroads.
If these charges can be established it will show
wonderful capacity for work. but not of kind
that qualities man for public Office, and the par
ty has made mistake. The Executive Commit
tee should investigate these matters at once and
horoughly.-Harford Democrat.
