| Qluate. LIE buCceHb Oh the ueLnocTa-
| cy will largely depend upon a full
vote in Montgomery county. Her
people ask for the nomination of
Blair, who can bring out that vote !;
| and he comes forward, not as Peter
| did four years ago out of bitter fight
| endorsed by a faction only, but as the
deliberate choice of united party,
| whose local pride would be aroused TO
| give him an unprecedented majority.
He would also make vigorous can
vass Of the entire district, and the
campaign would not be allowed to
droop for the lack Of men and means
to carry it on. A prominent charac.
ter in the past politics of the Union, his
election would give you statesman
of national reputation, whose exrer-
fence and ability would add much to
the influence of the district in the
Congress of the United States.
The second choice of Montgomery 10
Walsh Of Allegany for whose integrity
and ability the people entertain very
high regard. He captivated the in
telligence of the community there by
a speech delivered in Rockville dur
ing his last campaign "a speech
which to this day the people refer to
with pleasure, and which, have been
told, was one of most remarkable pow
er and eloquence. In his favor, too, is
the fact, that he emerged victorious
out of two desperate struggles, in both
Of which he had to contend against
almost insurmountable obstacles in
and outside his party, and the prestige
of his past SUCCESS would exert u
great moral influence in any other
campaign in which he might become
the chosen leader.
/ am glad to see such respectable
gentlemen selected by the republican
convention for Judiciary candidates
as Messrs. Read and Stake. This is
a matter, however, in which mere
politics should not be intruded. | pre-
sumo Alvey will be as before, the
democratic candidate for chief Judge,
and I sincerely trust his present ex-
cellent associate will not have his re-
lations changed. Although not as
pleasing in his address as Alvey, no
more upright, Conscientious and care
full judge exists in Maryland to-day
than Judge Motter. His competitor,
Syester, has evidently gotten the adj
vantage of him in their own county,
but in my opinion he will not be as
strong a candidate before the people,
and for reasons obvious, but not per-
sonally rejecting upon him.
This will be an eventful week in
New York politics, as two State con-
ventions will be held-the republic
cans tomorrow at Saratoga and on the
next day the democrats at Syracuse,
In the former the administration has
taken hand in the fight. If Cornell
wins Arthur's chances with the dele
cation in 1884 will be much attenu-
ated.
The question to be solved in the lat
ter convention is what 10 do with Tam
many and the other organizations as
Stunning to represent the city Of New
York. The San makes the very sem
sible suggestion that no delegate at
all shall be recognized from the city
until it can be shown that they repre-
sent a united party. Either this
plan, or the alternative of admitting
delegates representing the different
organizations on the lasis of votes
cast by them, must be adopted to en-
sure success to the party. The absurd
ity of longer ignoring Tammany,
which, without any patronage or recog-
milton from the party at large, polled
more votes at the last election than the
so.called regulars, must be ended. 1t
looks now as if they would be recog-
nized, and the integrity of that old
democratic organization and its lead
er, John Kelley, at last triunphantly
established in spite of the SANDER
and obloquy cast upon them for years.
I have always felt that evsn if not
now, the time will come when the
traducers Of John Kelley will be con-
founded and his good name be vindi-
Gated.
In conclusion, allow me to congrat-
ulate the JOURNAL upon reaching it's
eleventh birthday, and to wish it
many years of prosperous existence,
full of the odor of sauctity, (ifn the
sanctity of Oder } and Invested of all
