BALTIMORE, September 26th, 1883.
Msssvs. Editors Tho Republican State con.
vention meets here tomorrow 10 nominate n can.
didate for Governor, Comptroller Of the Treasury
and Attorney General. There Is no doubt what.
ever that Hon. II. u. lloton will be the conven-
tons nominee for Governor. There appears, in.
deed, no opposition 90 him, nor was there actually
any contest within the party TO beat him. There
were IL Is true, certain personal preferences but
they yielded In friendly spirit for the sake
Of harmony and unity. They did not amount o.
aerimoniousness or anything like bitterness. The
talk tDemocratic) Of their being n bitter contest
between the Custom House and Postofsice officials
and their friends-of political eharactcr-on this
subject. 10 all mere moonshine. Each had their
favori,cs, but when II comes to voting there will
be perfect harmony and unanimity the nomi.

whole Union henccforth united, rs well for the

Of the Nation. This IL what must be looked to-

IL Is proper, however, 10 say that Mr.. McLane,
whilst not popular with the masses, Is a high

enough 10 be laid on the shelf as n politician or
public servant. My own impression Is he will be
beaten by Mr.. Hoiton.
am glad TO see that the Republican convention
Of baltimore county has nominated o very excel

They are gentlemen who can command unity Of
purpose aud party harmony. II elected they a.e

In supporting them. Let me especially enjoin
