Cecil, and George NJ. Russum, of Caroline,
for associate judges. No nomination was
made for chief judge.
The Baltimore american does not think
much of the independent movement in Balti-
more on the judgeship. 1t is close corpo-
ration of capitalists, regardless Of the people,
and opposes one wing of one party and seeks
alliance with one wing of another.

The Republican convention of the third judi
cial district, composed of BALTIC. and Hartford
counties, met for the third time last Monday,
and endorsed Stevenson Archer, independent
candidate, for chief judge, and nominated S.
Parker Bosley, Republican, for associate
Judge. Had the Republicans any chance of
success they would have nominated a candi-
date for chief judge. Having none, they hope
to pull Mr.. Bosley through by endorsing Mr.
Archer. They take half loaf every time,
when they cannot get whole one.
A meeting of the colored voters and tax
payers of the second election district of Wash
ington county was held few days ago, at
which it was resolved to organize a club for
the purpose of "redressing their grievances. :"

suffrages were not given for the express use
of any particular party" and that ''every day
demonstrates more or less clearly that we are
nothing more than the tools of the party we
oIc hot tha
ner in which colored teachers are treated and
the meagre salary they receive should be made
a question of great Importance in this political
campaign"
A Homecoming correspondent of the Balti-
more Day reports facts that would indicate
Democratic success in Garrett and Allegany
counties. Great disaffection exists among the
miners and boatmen, the majority of whom
are Republicans; many miners have left; the
registration has fallen off 200 in the two Iona
coming districts, Republican strongholds; in
the Republican stronghold of Frostburg great
disaffection exists among Republicans, and
the Greenback nomination of A. F. George,
for Congress, is another source to weaken the
Republican ticket. All this points to the sue
cess of Hon. Montgomery Blair for Congress,
and the election of the Democratic judicial
ticket in the fourth circuit, composed of Wash
AllcSdHy anu odTEcII COuIGleS.

Birmingham will aggregate the handsome sum
of So, CSC, 900. Other manufacturing indus
tries are also fourishing there.
