FOR COUNTY SURVEYOR:
JAMES w. MCNABB.
The Primary Election.

The Democrats of Hartford county have
good reason to congratulate themselves upon
the result of the primary election held last
Saturday. The large number of candidates
brought out full vote, and that it was free
and fair glance at the returns will show.
Every voter apparently made his own selec-
ton from the admirable ticket presented, and
the result has been the nomination of an I'M
exceptionable list of candidates to present to
the voters of Hartford at the ensuing election
AS might have been expected, very few
secured all the candidates they voted for, and
this fact is the best evidence that the election
was uncontrolled by rings or factions, and
that the result is direct and fair expression
of the wishes of majority of the Democratic
party in Hartford county.
The ticket nominated is as follows:
For State SenatO1'-Col. Herman Stump,
Jr.
For the House Of Delegates-Wm. G. Scott,
DR.. silas Scarboro and Murray Vandiver.
For Sher!t-Henry G. johnson,
For County Conanaissioners-W Mechem,
of the list district VIM. G. Wilson, of the
I'd district; James X. Keech, of the Sd dis
trict; Martin Calder, of the 4th district, and
Michael Whiteford of the 9Th district
An unusual circumstance in connection
with the election is the denomination of the
entire old Board of Commissioners. The
office is thankless one at best, and faith
full officer is not likely to add to his personal
popularity in the office, 1t is seldom, there
fore, that they are re-nominated. In this in
stance, the old board of commissioners have
discharged their duties to the best of their
ability. One point in their favor, which
doubtless had considerable weight with vo-
tiers was that they reduced the taxes for this
year. Whether this accounts for their re-
nomination or not, we are unable to say.
We can say, however, that q reduction of tax
es is always acceptable news to the public.
The contest for the nomination has been
warm and earn est, but not bitter, and now
that the party has made its choice of cand-
dates, it is the duty of all good Democrats
to unite cordially in support of the ticket.
Bear in mind that the election is not over
yet, and if we are lukewarm and passive in
support of our candidates, we may be caught
mapping, and wake up TO realize that we are
defeated. The disappointed candidates es-
pecally should show by an active, earnest
support of their successful competitors that
they harbor no ill-feelipg on account of their
defeat. They are doubtless as worthy of
success as the Others, and worked as hard to
attain it. 1t may be their turn next time to
rejoice. BY cordial and generous support
of their late rivals they will show themselves
worthy of the places TO which they aspire
We place the successful ticket at the head
OF our columns to-day, and ask for it the I'm
divided support of the entire Democratic
party, feeling assured that it is worthy of
the confidence of all good citizens.

A similar movement has been inaugurated

will be accomplished. The Importance and
value of good county roads are apparent to
every one, and in our judgment they would
