OUR JUDICIAL NOMINEES.

The delegates TO the Judicial Convention
from the counties of Frederick and Mont
gomery assembled at Frederick city yester-
day, and after brief and harmonious ses-
sion presented to the consideration of the
voters of this Judicial Circuit the names of
Judge Lynch, the present Associate Judge,
and the Hon. George Peter, Of this county.
1t was truly good days work, and if we
are not sadly mistaken il will meet with
substantial and warm endorsement on the
7th Of November Both gentlemen have
every qualification for the grave and respon-
sible duties which appertain TO the high po-
sition fol-. which they have been nominated.
Judge Lynch is well and favorably known
to our people, having served in the same
position for fifteen years with such ability
and judicial fairness as to have called forth
the most complimentary expressions from
all who have had business connection with
the courtroom. In his reelection he will
take with him an experience and an ac-
quaintance with the people which will
greatly facilitate the business of the court
OF the Hon. George Peter we need not
say word OF commentator. There is
scarcely even child in the county who
does not know of him personally, or who is
not conversant with his noble qualities of
mind and heart. Born, reared and edu-
Gated in the county, his every effort has been
and still is in the direction OF every move
ment calculated to promote the prosperity
of the best interests of the county In the
discharge Of the duties TO which the voters
of this Judicial Circuit will shortly assign
him he will'bring to bear the ripe expert
ence OF full practice at his profession for
the past thirty years; in truth, Mr.. Peters
professional record is one Of peculiar pride
and interest, for he has been engaged at the
Court of Appeals Of his State and in for.
cign courts, coping with some of the finest
lawyers of the country, and meeting with
the most distinguished success.
Such, in few words, is the relative caste
OF the two gentlemen whose names have
been placed in nomination as candidates
for Associate Judges They have one po-
itical faith, characters, private and profess
sional, above reproach; gentlemen every
way worthy Of the confidence OF the peo.
pie, and suitable to wear the judicial ermine
with credit To themselves and with honor
To the profession.
Under the Constitution OF the State other
interests OF vast and vital importance have
been placed in the hands of our Judiciary
interests affecting the social status of our
people, we mean the education OF our chill
drcn, of these interest, we will speak at an
early day.
The following gentlemen were appointed
and acted rs delegates la the Judicial Con-
vention from this county Philip d. Laird,
Samuel Riggs, Robt J. sherwood, Samuel
Jones, WIN. IL. Rabbit, VIM E. Mannakee,
s. o. Jones and Harvey c. Fawcett.

Circular Address.
TO THE PATRONS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.

TO THE PATRONS OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY.
In pursuance of resolution unanimously
adopted by the Teachers Association of
Montgomery county at a called meeting
held in Rockville on the 2Sth OF September,
1882, we address you the following circular:
We the teachers of the Public Schools of
Montgomery county know and feel the i'm
portance of the work contided 10 us in hay
ing in charge the education Of the children
of the county. We desire 10 perform this
duty faithfully. We are placed as agents
of the State to carry out the designs of the
school law, viz: TIE education Of the people.
By our school system education is brought
almost to every mans door; every child In
the county is offered gratis a good English
education.
The schools are organized and furnished
with all necessary appliances. You pay
your taxes faithfully and regularly for their
support. But to make them success we
want something more; zoe sod1lt TIE children.
We want all the children Of proper age TO
be sent regularly to school; we ask you TO
deny yourselves to some extent the con-
venience Of your children's services at home,
and let us have them to educate in the use
full branches of learning, while they are
yours, so that they may be of use to you
and themselves land to the State) when they
become of proper age to enter upon the
more important education,-that of learn
ing how TO gain livelihood when they
become men and women. Shall we have
them?
Upon you depends the success of the
schools,-if the teachers are faithful. Try
us; send your children regularly; send
them every day when possible, let no trihe
interfere; nothing but sickness or bad
weather.
Encourage in them respect for the teacher.
Speak only well of him in presence of your
children. Require of them willing COM
pliance with the rules of the school, both
in the preparation OF lessons and in proper
and becoming department.
Thus you can render our schools COM
plete success, otherwise they must fail to
accomplish the good intended.

county, having an abiding faith in the pub
lie voice. That contest being now over, we
most heartily endorse the choice of the peo-
pile, and we trust the convention, 10 be held
in Cumberland ON the 18th instant, will give
unanimous endorsement to Hon. Mont

ripe and mature years, and conservative in
his views. II nominated and elected we
predict for him career OF prominence aud
weight in Congress second TO no representa-
tive, and one which will carry with ii in
tiuence and power for the Sixth Congress

His discretion and safe conservative views
are such NJ To render him one of the strong
est and most formidable candidates the party
could at this time place before the people,
and the large mass of conservative voters,
who are never subject to party rule or dom
ination, win rally 10 his support.
Mr. Peter, the choice OF our county for
Associate Judge, has been in full practice
in ibis county since 1866, combining himself
entirely to his profession and always com
manding a large practice. 1t is not for us

Deinpcraic and Conservative voters of this

know hun To he a man in the filling of the
high position OF a Judge will rise above

confidence in him, we not only appeal To
the party 10 support him, but TO every good
man In the county 10 come forward 10 his
support; and in conclusion, let us say To
