gresslonal convention. Notwith-
standing the fact that there were
other men, better men, younger men,
men who had been true to the inter-
est OF the Democratic party all their
lives who were anxious to receive the
nomination, the convention conferred
the honor upon this 0ntjgudted A6O-
htloaast. L want it distinctly under
STOOD that | do not object to Judge
BAR because he was an AbOlitionist,
nor because he was in Lincoln's Cab
met, nor because he has been cursed
and abused by every Democrat ofany
political prominence in Maryland,
Not at all ; but it does seem a little
strange that he of all men should re-
ceive the nomination. But then it
is no use to try to account for the &C.
ton Oh the the Democratic cOnven
ton. The more you try the more
you can't do it, so to speak. An eX-
M. u, Democrat too, said the other
day: "Well, it is about as good
way to get rid of Blair as any"
Another Democrat, one of the know
ing ones. said: "He is the weakest
man whose name was mentioned in
connection with the nomination" l
have not heard a single Democrat eX-
hn lni ~
would be elected, whilst l haye heard
dozens express the contrary view. OF
course those Democrats who are look
ing for Democratic patronage will
vote for him, and and SO will the old
hard shell, ironside, stick tO-the. tick
ct anyhow voter from the "black to-
bacco" deestricts, but there are not
enough of these to elect him. Those
who have some independence and
opinions of their own, and others
who have had meal of crow before
this was served by the Cumberland
convention, are either Indifferent or
kicking in the traces. If any man
suppOses that the Democratic candi-
date is popular here he is mistaken,
and will be left if he backs his iudg-
ment,
Why is there such an effort on the
part of certain Democrats to make
the public believe that there is great
dissatisfaction among the Republicans
along Georges Creek? | presume
that "the wish is to father the
thought" l had talk day or two
ago with a prominent and well in,
formed gentleman from Homecoming,
and he assured me that no man could
have been nominated by the Repub-
lican party who would have suited
the people Of his region better than
Mr.. McComas. If Judge Blair's ser.
vices in the Legislature OF Maryland
are a fair sample of what they would
be in Congress, God help the people
who would be so foolish as to elect
him.

take into consideration the number
OF school houses built, purchased and
furnished, amounting to $4,000 or up
wards, this trifiing' increase in the
debt, is a record that the Board is
justly proud of.
If the present debt is paid off, by
the provisions of the funding bill, the
Board in The future is to contract no
further debt, and will keep schools
open only so long as the amount of
the annual appropriations will justify
them in doing. The funding of this
debt will relieve the Board of an
annual outlay for interest of about
ten to twelve hundred dollars. This
amount would build annually three

There appears to be some we'll
grounded alarm over the condition
of President Arthur's health. The
Cincinnati Commercial, speaking as if
by authority, says:
We presume the story which comes
from Washington, that President
Arthur has been threatened with dis
ease that promises speedily fatal re-
suits, is an eXaggeration.
1t is true, however, that he is not
as robust as he seems, and has had
disturbing symptoms, also, that he
has been good deal depressed owing
to some doctors dismal talk. X
1t is fact that the state of health
of the President was far from satiSfac-
tory year ago. When he first ap-
peared at Washington as President.
he was for several days in bed at the
house OF Senator Jones, and the fact
was not generally known.
One thing is certainly true of his
condition at present. He has been
enjoined by his physicians to take
rest, and TODD it in the ST. Lawrence
air, among the islands and about the
sport wherein he has heretofore en-
joyed himself very much and found
his best recreation, and where there
will be a general occu rrence in the
wish that he shall haye good time.

You still may say our Berries ours
At Heavens gate he waits for you--
To welcome to immortal bowers.
