Dem ocratic Politics.

Commenting upon the probable pro-
the coming campaign, Balt- more daily
says:
Acting under the belief that there is
necessity for immediate action, the man
ayers have already male their selections
of candidates for the State Senate from
counties from which senators are 10 lie
elected next fall. Senator Groome is one
OF those politicians who think that it is
well to take time by the forelock. There
is now no reason to doubt that he is a
candidate for fs.a ecti,n. and although
the election by the Legislature does not
take place till thee years hence. he aud
his friends are already ut work making
the necessary preparations for the event.
They propose making Il grand effort to
elect Senator GrDoG:es law partner, Mr.
Clinton McCullou2i &c represent Cecil
county in the next State Senate. Ta:&,
it is contendetl, W 'uld be IL great advan-
tage to Senator Gruome. as Mr.. McCul-
louai would hold over and have Il seat in
the legislature that will elect Mr..
Groome's successor, AIr. Miller "f Cecil
will probably oppose Mr.. Met pll"ugh.
and Senator Groume will have Il nt;',i.er
fef opponents for the succession. Judge
Robinson. DR.. Dennis and others are cx-
pected to contest with him the honor of
election to the Uniten States Senate. A
repeal of the Eastern Shore law would
make thi. tight interesting.
THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.
The managers have not stepped iatG
the breach of the United States senator
ship. and are just now more concerned
about the complexion of the next leuiS-
lature. After the next session they will
he willing to talk business with Mr.
Gronme and the other as,iirantS. AS
stated, they want. above ali. to ':ix
Things for the next State Senate. The
counties in which the term of state send
tors expire are Worcester. Caroline. Tai
bot, Dorchester, Cecil. IIarinad. Howard.
Montgomery. Alleganv. Garrett. St.
Mary's. Prince Georges and Charles.
Howard county will eject ii successor tn
Mr.. German in nearly all of these
counties the Ring has put up it cantii
dates, and it will not surprise any one
that among their adopted Political child
rem are some Of the former warm friends
of Governor Hamilton. Thus. IN Wnr-
cester, DIR. Bishop. Il staunch Hamilton
man of the olden time, is their candidate
for the State Senate. In Tab It, M
Charles IL. Gibson is their candidate. and
his opponent viii be General Hardc .>te.
In DnrcheSttr matters have not assumed
definite shape. but they think that Frank
VI. Henry will probably be the nominee
and they do not think that he will give
much trouble Ia the Senate. In Cecil the
fight will be hetwean Clinton Mccullough
aud j. VI. Miller. The naEag ars have
their preference, bat they will not be
angry at the nomination of either. In
Hartford Mr.. Herman Stump. who for a
short time last Summer had been sulking
in his tent. has gone over to the man
ayers camp. and they are shouting for
him as their candidate for the State
Senate. Republican counties, like Allie
gany and Garret. al. SnNr grapes, which
the bosses do not care TO touch. Mont
.somery is better field. and George
Peters will be persuaded to try his hand
again. Charles mnty is anoth Repub-
lican stronghold. In st MarA's Mr.. Col
ton, a nephew of the Police Commission
er, will be a candidate for the State
Senate and in Prince Georges the capdi.
date will be George b. Calvert.
The membership of the House of Del
egates has not received much attention.
There is one county. however. in which
bitter fight is raging for members Of
the House. 1t is the county which Mr..
Bannon and DR.. Henkle, and ex- Adjutant
General Bond generally make interesting
in intestine feuds, Tho voters Of Anne
Arundel have been tuIlv enlightened in
the last two months about their candi-
dates. They are all in the field. aud pro-
pose to STAY. On the one side are Massrs.
Bannon, Henkle. Nutwell and Williams.
Opposed to them are Messrs. John T,
Williams. Acton, Colt and Bond. 1t is
stated that it has not been definitely de-
cided whether the latter will or viii not
be candidate when the time for voting
comes.
