The Democratic Ticket.

are to make and execute laws and administer
all the details of the State and county govern
ments. The Republican and Democratic par
ties have both presented their candidates for
the offices to be filled, and the voters must
Judge between them. In the first place, while
not seeking to make any invidous comparisons
we can say that we believe the
HON. WIN. t. HAMILTON,
Democratic candidate for Governor, is pre-
eminently the man for the place. Well yersed
in the law, with long experience in public af-
fairs, successful practical farmer, possessing
broad and comprehensive views, of incor-
ruptible integrity, of directness and earnest
ness of purpose, with wisdom to plan and
nerve to execute measures tending to promote
the good of the public, he is of all others the
man to fill the executive chair at Annapolis.
Chosen as their candidate by the unanimous
voice of the Democratic party, he should re-
ceive the entire support of the party The
people of Maryland, Democrats, Republicans
and all, will honor themselves in giving
hearty support to Mr. Hamilton.
For Comptroller of the Treasury, the Dem
ocratic party have again presented the name
of
HON. THOMAS j. HEATING.
Mr.. Keating, during the two years he has
held the office, has shown marked ability in
managing the finances of the State No
doubtful claim, however strongly urged, has
ever received his sanction, and the strict letter
of the law has been complied with by him
in disbursing the public money. Mr. Keat-
ing has labored successfully in bringing with
in the scope of taxation much valuable prop
erty which, while it enjoyed the protection
of the State, did not contribute to support the
State. With the experience he has acquired
he can and will make himself useful to his fel-
low citizens, by charging the area and more
equally distributing the burden of taxation.
For Attorney General,
HON. CHARLES j. NJ. GwINN
is again named by the Democratic party AS
n lawyer Mr.. Gwinn has no superior in this
State, and the value of his services in framing
laws, during the last Legislature, was recog-
nized and appreciated
For Clerk of the Court of Appeals,
SPENCER c. JONES,
| the Democratic candidate, can be endorsed as
gentleman qualified by education, ability
and honesty to perform the duties of the of
| flee.
No set of candidates for the State offices
have ever been presented combining in high
er degree all the qualities necessary to con-
Quoting the affairs of the State in wise,
economical and prudent manner
In the local offices to be filled, the first on
the Democratic ticket is
CAPT. A. LINGAN JARRETT,
candidate for Clerk of the Circuit Court.
| Capt Jarrett is Democrat from principle,
and his management of the Clerks office can
not be surpassed by any man in the county
| He is systematic, careful and exact, and we
venture to say that the duties of the office
could not be better administered
For States Attorney,
GEORGE Y. MAYNADIER
has been named by the Democrats at their
primary meetings Mr. Maynadicrs ability
as lawyer is recognized For the short time
during which he served as Judge, by appoint
ment of Governor Bowie, he displayed legal
talents of high order, united to dignity,
tirmness and impartaity. He will make a
first-class States Attorney.
For Register of Wills the Democratic party
present the name of
DR. VIM. s. RICHARDSON,
the present incumbent He has had an OK
perience of six years in the office, and the
large vote given him at the primaries is an
evidence of the estimation is which he is
held.
For Judges of the Orphans Court, we have
the names of
CHARLTON w. BILLINGsLEA,
A. IL. GREENFIELD,
DIR. JOHN w. BARTON.
Judge Billingslea's knowledge of testament
tary law, gained by long experience as Reg
lister of Wills and as Judge of the Orphans
Court, is very great. He is essentially the
right man in the right place. Mr.. Greenfield
is well-known business man of Bel Air
Clear-hcaded, prudent and impartial, he has
showed, during his present term as an officer
of the court a peculiar fitness for the position.
DIR. Barton has never been tried in the capa-
city of Judge, but he will make good officer.
He has hosts of friends, gained by integrity of
purpose and courtesy of manner.
wAKEMAN +. MORGAN,
the Democratic candidate for Sheriff, is an
honest, worthy man, who throughout his life
has never disappointed the expectations of his
friends or violated his word.

Messrs. Scott and Vandiver have the advan-
tage of experience in legislative affairs, which
will tend to make them useful members, while
Mr.. Preston, though lacking experience, may
be relied on todo his part ably and judicious-
ly in attending to the interests ofhis constitu-
ents and the State at large

of the Democrats of the county, in sharp
contest with other good men of the county
1t would be difficult to select better tick
