WARRINGTON, D. c., April 10, 1888.
To the MINING JOURNAL:
Continuing in the line Of my screed
Of last week anent Maryland politics,
the latest wrinkle in republican cir
cles is the bringing forward of Mr..
VIM. ]. Hooper, proprietor of the
Baltimore Herald, as the candidate
for Governor. Mr.. Hooper was one
Of Governor Hamilton's late appoint
sss as Supervisor of Elections for
Baltimore city, in accord with the re-
form theories of the latter, and the
idea is that, the governor failing to
receive a denomination, Hooper as q
republican candidate would receive
considerable support from the Hamil.
ton element in the democratic party,
and therefore would prove to be a
most available standard-bearer at this
"most acceptable time" 1t is also
said that President Arthur will use
his influence in the coming election to
carry the State and has already ap-
pointed one Of the editors Of Mr..
Hooper's paper Judge of one of the
territorial courts as an earnest of his
good intentions towards the contem-
plated capture of Maryland from
Bourbon rule. Holton will not toler-
ate the idea of being in the field, and
seems perfectly we'll satisfied with his
overwhelming defeat Of Chapman for
Congress in the fifth district last fall.
In the list Of candidates the name Of
Lowndes, Of Allegany, must not be
overlooked. He has many strong
points in his favor, and as represent
alive from the sixth district, gained
great popularity in this section.
There has been some emitting in the
democratic situation. Henry w. Ar.
cher taking Roberts place AZ ore OF
ths chief favorites; MGLane holding
his own, it not progressing. The
Eastern Shore has its csn1ids,e Ia
William McKeuay, u wealthy farmer
in that political half of Maryland,
but his auccess is problematlcal as
our people are not dis ossd to load
with very high honors mea OF com
psrstlvs obscurity.
A very strong and powerful organ.
iasticn has been formed among The
democracy of Baltimore and thsy
will play no light par in the palitieal
maneuyerlng there during the coming
campaign. They propose t. fight for
reform where it is required within the
party. and seem to be composed for
the most Fart OF the same e ements
which swept the regular democratic
judicial ticket from the field in the
last election. It is evidently anti.
Whyts and BODIES no good to his con-
tinusd reign as the "boss" of city
politics Of a democratic order.
The government has "gone q fish
Ing" and is even now trolling his line
for bass among the evergreen glades
of Florida. From the fattering COM
mendations received, Presidens Ar
thur evidently made a 6rst-class ap-
pointment on the eve Of his depart
ure. Judge Gresham, Of Indiana, as
Postmaster General, adds to a very
crsditable list of appointments made
by the present executive, and does
much honor to his wisdom and states
msnship.
The appointment Of Judge Edmouds
to be District Commissioner has COM
pleted the triumvirste Of Washing-
ton, and after little storm in organ
izing that body has now gone to work
in earnest and promises to initiate
changes in district affairs that will be
Of lasting benefit to the people here.
