Nomination of Hon. Thomas ]. Heating.

A dispatch from Baltimore informs us that
the Democratic State Convention, which
met there on Thursday, nominated Hon.
Thomas j. Heating, of Queen Anne's county,
for Comptroller. We place his name at
the head of our paper this week, and
ask for him the support of every Demo
crat in Hartford county, We shall cordially
give him our own support and for the fol-
lowing reasons
He has been fairly nominated by Il Demo-
cratic State Convention, regularly called by
the duly constituted party authorities, and
representing we believe, large majority of
the Democratic voters of the State.
Not one word can truthfully be said
against his personal or official integrity
His administration of the office of Comptrol-
Ter has been wise, prudent, efficient and ex.
act. We believe he has kept strictly within
the letter of the law, in all things pertaining
to his trust, and has carried out, as he was
sworn to do, the laws enacted by the Legis,
lature relating to the States finances
No valid reason exists why any Democrat
should refuse to support him. He is honest
he is capable, he is a tried and true Demo
crat, and he is the choice of majority of the
Democratic party of Maryland
