Gov. Hamilton is not done for as yet, if the
majority of the counties Of the State have de-
cided that he is not their choice for re-
nomination. His friends have formulated
plans to make a vigorous campaign for him
in Baltimore City, and if they are not sue.
cessful in securing his denomination they
next seek representative of his policy.
This is respectable and Democratic posi-
ton and one that is momentus and will re-
ceve attention and interest as it is being
urged forward In other words, the one
man power idea is dispeled, and principle
is substituted in the engagement The "rule
or ruin policy" is Cancelled in this position,
too. The verify of this lies in denial of an
intimation against Gov. Hamilton's friends
that they would bolt at the defeat of their
champion for denomination. They pub
licly earnestly declare to the contrary
Some other man suitable to consummate the
reform policy adopted by the State Democ-
racy named by those opposing Gov Hamil-
ton, as we understand would receive the
support of all Hamiltonians and carry to
victory their reform principles. This con
clusion is very agreeable TO all well -wishers
OF harmony in the party; it is but natural
result of free ventilation of the differences
within the party. Men only differ widely
from misunderstanding.

THE TICKET.

The ticket nominated on last Saturday al
the Democratic primaries to fill the various
State and county offices about to become
vacant is good one from every aspect. All
factions and geographical localities are rep
resented in its make up, and these are merits
to bring about its strength. But there is an.
other view that it presents far more neces.
sary to its success and strength, that of eff
cheney to capably perform the duties OF the
high offices confded to their trust
A large majority of the nominees are men
who have been before invested with public
ctions, and they have not betrayed 0
u and are without blot upon theil

b. The one lever varies the depth, levels the

6. The winging device is the simplest and
most effective, holding the pillow in any de-

D. Our sulky rolling cutters are unequaled

.. The experience of farmers and various

Sulky TO be the lightest draft of any.
10. While other sulkies having many spices,
loose joints, and multiplicity of levers and

effect upon it,
IL. THERE'S not another sulky in the market

Anniversary Sermon.

Sunday was the seventh anniversary
of the connection of Rev. E. T. Sand
ford with the Baptist church, and he
improved the occasion by preaching
an anniversary sermon. He spoke
from Isaiah 81 -"Watchman, what
of the night ?" He spoke of the GUS
tom which prevailed in eastern coun-
tries of watchmen being stationed on
the walls of the cities who kept watch
and warned the inhabitants of impend-
ing danger. 1t was appropriate at
this time, he thought, on the seventh
anniversary of his connection with
the church, and the eighth anniver-
sary of its organization, to take a re-
Prospective view. Accordingly he gave
some facts connected with the history
of the church. The first step towards
its formation was taken in 1871, when
a clergyman from Massachusetts,
looked over the field with a view of
forming a church here and uniting it
with the church at Passumpsic-then
without pastOr--in the same field of
labor, but the church of which he was
pastor declined to dissolve their rela-
tiOns, and the project was abandoned.
In March, 1874, VIM. A. Bacon of New
York came here and looked over the
field and gathered together a nucleus
of members, and the church was duly
organized in May following, with
twelve members. In September OF
that year Rev. J. H. Marsh of Newport
was settled, and continued pastor I'M
til October, 1875. During his pastor
ate the membership of the church was
increased from IA to 81. In April
1875, the lot ON which the church and
parsonage now stand was purchased
and decided to the society. Work was
