Baltimore County Herald. Rep.):-''The
Dittv axe falls. He takes off the heads of
two Union soldiers at the first blow. Union
soldiers who risked their lives for their coun-
try when he was trying to destroy it are his
victims. Col. Robert G. King fell at the first
blow of the axe in the hands of this blood
thirsty rebel. Col. King served with distinc-
ton during the late war, and risked his life
in more than one battle for his country. He
suffers to- day from wounds received in battle,
and will carry them with him to his grave.
He is one of the Governments pensioned SOL
diers, and who will say that he is not more
entitled to position under the Government
than the man who removed him?'
From the Cumberland AUeganian 1.-THE
Republican convention for this district, which
met in Frederick Wednesday, nominated Mr..
Louis E. McComas for Congress. The Stall
warts used every device to secure the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Urner, but the Blaine crowd
was too strong for them. They next sounded
several delegates upon the clark horse" prob
| lem; but the Blaine men were not to be fooled.
They knew McComas was an original Blaine
man, and they wanted no compromise. Put
| ting on as much complacency as possible they
submitted to the inevitable and agreed unani-
mously to support the nominee, though it was
whispered that he could look to Blaine for
his campaign funds"
The Republicans of Baltimore county, while
the day for the congressional primaries is sat
isfactory now, are not at all harmonious. The
| Union charges that primaries were to be held
on September 20 in the first and thirteenth
districts for the purposes of fraud, as was per.
petrated two years ago, and the Herald, edited
by John T. Ensor, Esq, denies the allegation
and accuses the Union editors of endeavering
to defeat the Republican nominees last year.
The executive committee members for the first
and thirteenth districts published a card in the
Herald last Saturday, saying the fixing of the
date was an 'inadvertence," but ]. Scott
Merryman, in card in the Baltimore San,
denies this, for, he says, he called the COM
mittee's attention to the date fixed by the
state committee, at the time September 29th
was fixed
