In the nomination OF the Hon. Thomas
J, Heating ~ the Democratic candidate for
Comptroller Of the Maryland State
Treasury, the Oentrsville Odserper finds
cause for great rejoicing and thinks il In
dicatss the triumph of no particular fac
ton but is the work Of the whole party,
united and harmonious The Observer
believes that the dissensioa and dissatisfac-
ton which have sometimes followed party
nominations In Maryland are commenda-
bly, wanting this year, and that the Demo-
cratic party enters into the present canvass
''more thoroughly united than it has been
since the bayonets were taken from our

The Daldcarean knows of no one more
| fitted to be Speaker OF the House of Rep
resentatiyes than the Hon. Samuel Randall,
| and it can see no good reason why he
should not be selected to fill that position,
since no one questions his ability aud fair
ness i'll the chair, and since by the custom
heretofore observed he seems entitled to
a continuance in the Office. But whether
MIR. Randall be elected or not, of one thing
the Delda5drean is certain, and that IL that
the Democrats will take especial care to
organize the House without tho dictation
of President Hayes or his administration,
and, it hopes, "without reference to any
local interests that may desire to be
served" 1t also is quite sure that no
subsidy scheme will be considered or aided
in the choice of Speaker and that no man
will be elected who aspires to tho place
for the purpose of advancing private OF
personal ends.

The Nses and advertiser de clares that IL
Il masses of the people of this country hay
a too great stake in its future Royernme,
a. to allow themselves to become the bin
"a devotees of any party. Parties in then
n selves it believes to be- necessity of goc
y government, and considering the force
- party attachments when once formed, ar
i. the difficulty attending their creation ar
n organization, it thinks it much better
4, retain such parties rs are already
IL existence, and force them to work in Il
q right direction, rather than to abandc
them and form new ones for special al
specific purposes. From this we inf
that the Advertiser does not favor the ne
he party scheme talked Of down the State.
