CHAs. r. FAVOUR, Secretary.

1t is fact that none can deny that Cover
nor Hamilton and his friends constitute the
only disturbing element in the Democratic
party of the state The Governor is the only
aspirant for Governor, who is pushing his
claims; other gentlemen brought out are
awaiting the decision of the party. No man
has ever held the office of Governor more
than one term; Governor Hamilton, Grant
like, would break all precedent and be Gov
ernor for an indefinite period. There is no
faction, except the Hamilton faction, in the
canvass for governor, and there is no con-
siderable opposition to any other gentleman
who has been named for the position. Against
Governor Hamilton there is reasonable and
strong opposition. These are facts known to
even casual observers, and if Gov. Hamilton
has any regard for Democratic success he will
at once, over his own signature, publish a
card retiring from the contest The will not
retire voluntarily, public sentiment will force
him into a secusion from which he will not
soon be brought out.

Correspondence of the Democratic A dvocatC

Correspondence of the Democratic \ dvocate.
STocKDALE, Wilson Co., July "a, 1888
Dear Adcocate and Readers Il am now
located at the above named place, vigorously
at work with my brother partner erecting the
mill that was to have been placed at Clinton
Through the mal-designs of certain individ-
ual we were prevented from locating at the
latter place; however we have suited our
selves much better here.
Stockdale is an inland village of some thirty
or forty families, and forty miles east of the
old historic town of San Antonio.
We have good and we'll attended schools.
Several churches, viz Catholic, Methodist,
Baptist, and Christian, Campbelite so called
A protracted meeting is now in progress at
the latter church; one Masonic lodge, three
general stores, drug store, two blacksmith and
wheelwright shops, shoe shop, barber shop,
one hotel, one mill and gin-will soon be two
more; one ''dOggery," where mean quality
of whiskey is clandestinely sold, in violation
of the prohibition law of this county.
Good soft water is obtained by digging
thirty to forty feet. Excellent building stone
at hand for walls, chimneys, DC.
The rock formation here is interesting and
curious, of which ! shall have something to
say in future letter.
The face of the country is a mixture of
prairie and timber. The land, though not
the richest, has proven good for corn, cotton,
cane, vegetables, wheat, oats, and excellent
for fruit, except apples.
The corn crop is matured, and cotton is
opening rapidly. So says
PETER BARNES.

The Pennsylvania Democratic state con-
nominated Robert Taggart, of Warren coun-
ty, for auditor general, and Joseph Powell,
of Bradford county, for state treasurer The
convention was harmonious throughout. The
platform makes this declaration concerning
taxation and the tariff: ''They (the Democ.
racy) believe in such taxation of the people
as is requisite for the necessities of the gov
ernment, economically administered, and that
import duties should be so adjusted in their
application as to prevent unequal burdens,
encourage productive industries at home and
afford just compensation to labor, but not to
create or foster monopolies.n -

Indiana for the Old Ticket.
rom tile Ncr York World: :

From tile New York World:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 27.-There is no
doubt that the talk for the ''old ticket that
has been going on for fortnight has materi-
ally checked the Mcdonald boom in this
State The friends of Mr.. Hendricks have
never been satisfied that Mcdonald should be
''the tavorite son" of the Hoosier Democracy
and they are loud in their preference for Til
den and Hendricks being the nominees next
year.
Six weeks ago there were but two Demo
cratic newspapers in Indiana that were for the
old ticket; now there are a dozen or more.
The Shelbyvile Democrat last week pro
claimed itself for the reform ticket and also
made vigorous attack on Mcdonald. Shell
byviIle is the old home of Mr. Hendricks and
the people there are his warmest friends, and
the talk is that the Democrdt'$ course was
marked out for it by some who knew the
wishes of Mr.. Hendricks.
The New Albany Ledger and the Public
Press, also published at New Albany, are call
ing loudly for the old ticket They are the
leading Democratic papers of the Third Con-
gressional District.
The Terre Haute Gdzette, the only daily
Democratic paper published in the Wabash
Valley and the personal organ Of Senator or
hees, has startled the Mcdonald men lately
by flying the Tlden and Hendricks flag.
George w. Julian, who lives from the city
at Irvington, four miles from here-is for Til
den and Hendricks next year. He is going
to make Il great speech at the organization of
Tilden and Hendricks club here next week.
Ex-SenatorWinterbottom spaper, the Mich
igan City Di$pGtch, has declared for Tilden
and Hendricks, and says the Democracy of
northern Indiana will have nothing else.
Winterbottom (known as the ''cold stern
statesman was the Democratic nominee for
Congress last year, and is one Of the most
powerful Democrats in the Lake Shore dis
trict. He wants to be delegate to the next
National Democratic Convention
The Fincennes Ners, probably the ablest
edited Democratic weekly in the State, has
told Mr.. Mcdonald the best thing he could
do is to withdraw in favor of the reform can
didates.
The Lafayette Leader is one of the most
Jealous supporters of the old ticket, and there
is the Anderson Democrat, the Richmond
Enquirer and dozen other papers through
out the State shouting the slogan of 1876.

The Tindicator is Republican paper pub
lished in Baltimore by colored men, in the
interest of the colored race. 1t publishes
some spicy and incisive articles against the
Republican management in Maryland, accus-
ing that party of using the colored vote for
its own aggrandizement, but making no ade-
quate recognition Of colored men in the dis
tribntion of party spols. To break the force
of these articles the Republican press of the
state is inculcatng the idea that the Iindic0'
tar is backed by the Democrats, and its estab-
liShment a Democratic effort to divide the
coIored vote. The publishers and editors
say this is a willful sandcr.

The Denton Journal quotes paragraph
from a message of Governor Hamilton to the
Legislature, to show that the ADVOCATE was
wrong in saying that the Governor never re-
ferred to the taxing of mortgages. The para
graph, of which we were well aware, does not
express any opinion on the subject, but
simply says that if deemed advisable, the tax
should be divided equally ''between the mort
gage debt and the real estate covered by it. ."
The Governor does not say it was advisable,
and it is well-known that the Governor was
opposed to taxing mortgages. The Jomn@
errs in supposing that the editor of the ADvo-
CATE is the Senator from this county. He
retired from that position nearly five years

The Contest in Anne Arundel.

The Baltimore Day of Wednesday says
"After all the brag and bluster, Mr. Michael
Bannon was laid out in the Anne Arundel
Democratic convention yesterday by the ex-
act majority indicated by the first report of
the result of the primaries, and DR.. Wells was
made the party's candidate for senator. There
is said to be great deal of bitterness of feel
ing amongst the Bannon men, and sugges-
tons that they will ''le down. are thrown
out. There is but one thing to say in response
to such threats as this, and that is, 'Lie down
if you want to- The Democratic party of
Maryland is going to win this fall without the
aid any of the sort of people who are ready to
ever they have a personal grievance. Its
own voters intend making their nominations,
and they will make them good at the polls
after they are made without the assistance of
any soreheaded bosses or disappointed hench-
men. This was the case in Anne Arundel" F"
The Democratic advocate., 1883-08-04

Mr.. Michael Bannon and Gov. Hamilton
were defeated in the Anne Arundel Demo-
cratic primaries last Saturday. The former
was a candidate for State Senator, and was
opposed by DIR. George Wells. The county
convention on Tuesday carried out the will of
the voters as expressed at the polls, and NOM
mated DR.. Wells. AS to the balance of the
county ticket, concessions were made to the
Bannon faction. When it came to selecting
delegates to the state convention, it was evil
dent that Mr. Bannon was decidedly stronger
than Gov. Hamilton, and an ti-Hamiton
delegation was chosen.

Never before, perhaps, were the newspapers
so uninteresting as at present. This is sea-
son when very little of Importance is transpir-
ing, and the strike of telegraph operators
prevents the collection of very much that or
dinarily goes toward filling the columns OF
the press. Although the space for reading
matter in the ADVOCATE is now much curtail-
ed, it is an arduous task to find items of inter-
est to FIJI it

Hart b. Holton and J. A. j. Creswell are
about to lock horns again, this time over the
Appraisership at Baltimore. Holton favors
Gen. Adam E. King, and Creswell favors
Henry r. Torbert, now deputy collector, for
the position Their former trial of strength
was over Collector of Internal Revenue,
Ditty, in which Holton was victor. Who will
win this time remains to be seen.
The Democratic advocate., 1883-08-04

That political mushroom, Hon. Hart b.
Holton, is posing in the political arena OF
Maryland as Republican boss. He is run
ming to and fro, between Washington and
Baltimore, as if he had the whole party upon
his shoulders, or in the hollow of his hand.
He wants to regulate Federal patronage in
Maryland, and he wants to be Governor, too.
He was elected to Congress by the negroes,
and if nominated for Governor he will be de-
feated by the negroes, who will not vote for
him as a unit any longer.

Leading journals in France and England
are discussing the probabilities Of an open
rupture between these two governments,
growing out of conflicting policy in Egypt
and in Africa respectively. British policy in
relation to the new Suez canal and territorial
acquisitions in Egypt, is a source ofirritation
to France, while French operations at Tama-
tave and on the Congo, are a source of irri-
tation to England. Germany, Austria and
italy, regard the situation with cOmplaisancy.

There seems to be a split in the colored
vote of Baltimore. A meeting was held on
Tuesday night to organize an independent
club, which was attended by two custom house
officials, whose utterances disgusted por-
ton. These left the hall and organized an
Independent club at another place, and those
remaining organized regular Republican
club. Several Independent Republican clubs
have been formed in Baltimore.

There is no surer way to distract the party
than by district contests, and all good Demo,
Gratis will discountenance them. Let the ap-
preaching county conventions be composed
of representative men, free to consult for the
