Democratic Primaries.

Democratic primaries will be held to-
day and the county convention on Mon
day. 1t is proper for districts, if they
choose, to declare their preferences, but no
district should be dogmatic in its demand.
IF there are more than one aspirant in
a district, let the DELEGATE on present the
names of all and then let the whole con-
yention pass upon their merits. The con-
vention should be meeting for eOusulta-
ton, made up of delegates with but one
purpose to serve-the success of the Dem
ocratic party and its principle.

DR.. Henkle's Continuous Hunt for Office.

DR.. Eli J. Henkle, who has been strick-
en- from the registration books of the fifth
district of Anne Arundel county, has pc
titioned to Judge Miller for reinstatement.
and the case will be heard to-day. DIR.
Henkle has been residing in Baltimore for
some years, and the register struck his
name from the books, because DIR. Henkle
said during the register trials before Gov.
Hamilton, at Annapolis, that he was a
resident of Baltimore. If Judge Miller
should decide against DR.. Henkle's petit
ton. the Doctor will have to withdraw
from the o. L. D. Sorehead ticket in Anne
Arundel, upon which he is candidate for
the Legislature, That would blast his
hopes, too, for it is said he only wants to
90 to the Legislature that he may better
prosecute his candidacy for State Treas
urer The Doctor is quite modest in bis
search for office. He has been in office
the major part OF life since attaining the
age of manhood, lastly serving three terms
six years-in Congress at $4,000 year,
aud was candidate for a fourth term
When Gen. Chapman was nominated in
his stead, he then began to realize how bad
the Democratic party is, and for several
months past he has been publishing little
paper called the Tribune, which is devoted
to tearing down the Democratic party, II

to the Baltimore Herald, dated Westmin-
ster, September II
"As vet there IS ne political excitement in
the county, but both parties are looking for
ward to the election with confidence, each IN
its own success. Al The las, election Of coun.
ty officers in 1879, Republican sheriff was
elected, and the Democrats elected their clerk
Of the Circuit Court by bat fly majority, and
the other officers by very small msjoTities.
Many Republicans think there Is a better
chance to win this fall than ever before, and
the strongest possible ticket will be put IN the
field"
The foregoing gives to the Democratic
party Of Carroll an iukling Of what Is pass
Ing in the Republican party, aud diselOses
