A Democratic County Convention to be
Called.

The Democratic Executive Committee of
this county have been urged, for months
past, to call convention of the party to con-
suit as to the best method of securing the
nomination of the most suitable candidates
for the coming fall campaign. The COM
mittee have shown sincere desire to do
everything in their power to aid in placing
good ticket in the field. After full consuta-
ton with prominent members of the party
in each district-men who are not themselves
met in Bel Air on Wednesday, and discussed
the matter thoroughly. Their proceedings,
which were not received in time for publica-
ton this week, will be published next week.
The Committee recommend that primary
meetings be held on Saturday, May 18th, to
send delegates to a convention to meet in
Bel Air, May 10Th. The duty of this conven-
ton willie to consult as to the proper course to
be pursued to bring about what every good
Democrat earnestly desires, the nomination
of ticket the names on which will be a
guarantee to every citizen that the interests
of all the people of the county will be care
fully guarded.
In order to give fuller and freer express
sion of the wishes of Democrats in regard to
the delegates who shall compose that con-
vention, the Executive Committee recon-
mend the plan of voting for delegates at each
precinct instead of the former method of vot-
ing by districts. This plan, it was strongly
urged to the committee, would enable more
voters to attend the primary meetings and
secure better representation of each neigh
bOrhood in the county convention.
Those who have carefully considered the
drift of politics in Maryland see plainly that
to be successful next fall the Democratic
party in every county and in the city of Bal
timore must nominate its best men. Here in
Hartford there are, perhaps, fewer disturbing
elements than in some of the other counties
of the State. The Democrats of Hartford are
united. There are no warning factions, re-
solved to rule or ruin. The Democratic par
ty is in majority, but that majority de-
mands as II consideration for its support,
that only suitable candidates shall be nomi-
mated. They are willing to forego personal
preferences, for the sake of a ticket to which
the Democrats of Hartford can point with
pride,
The action of the Executive Committee
will no doubt meet with the approval of every
considerate member of the party. The COM
mittee have done what their best Judgment
guided solely by a sincere desire for the sue
cess of their party-has dictated. Every
Democratic voter in the county should there
fore seriously consider the matter, not as it
may affect individual candidates. but as it
may affect the entire party. Let delegates
be selected TO the county convention whose
honor, good judgment and devotion to Dem.
ocratic principles are well known. With
Il convention thus composed the affairs of the
party will be safe, and their action, whatever
it may be, will be endorsed by every voter
who prefers the triumph Of the Democratic
party to the success of individuals

IN MENIORIAM.
SARAH J. GRAY.

Passed sweelly away, on the evening Of the 10Th
of March, at her home near Forest Hill, Mrs
Sarah J. Gray, beloved wife Of David Gray, aged
LIST of April, attended by large concourse of
friends they laid her away to rest within the sa-
cred enclosure at Centre M. 4. Church. The srb
ject of this brief memoir was for sixteen years
member of the Methodist church, and a meek,
transformations but consistent Christian. Being
naturally a modest, unobtrusve retiring woman
in her temperament, she was not one to evince
her religion by many words or public demonstra-
tiuns of enthusiasm but better than this, in the
home circle where the life is an open book, she
lived 1t by endeavoring to instil into the minds of
her children religious principles and in words of
sympathy and acts of kindness among her neigh
bors when distress or sadness entered their
homes. She proved that in her heart had sprung
up that fountain of living water, the outgushngs
love- Her death sickness was lingering and pain
full and at times her suRerings were greater than
can be described In words, but here also, she
shall be suf6cient for thee" Truly that grace"
to those who had the privilege of visiting her,
how gloriously Christian can die. There was

ted into the Heavenly Kingdom" but ~ know
that when these Affections shall cease. shall en-
death-beds said of this one, weeks before the end
came, I'm all my life never witnessed such

suffering intensely, she said, ~ did not think it
possible for one while in the fesh to be as happy
as am" Thus, with the king of terrors literally
beneath her feet, she came down to the crossing
and said to her stricken family as they gathered
about her. II shall soon be transplanted to glory"
What victory was hers, and what a glorious
dawning! Now to those who are passing through
the severest trials that may come In a lifetime,
we would say that to mourn for her seems almost
to wrong her. For as another has beautifully
written:
where is no death what seems 80 Is transition.
This life of mortal breath
Is but suburb Of the life elysian,
Whose portal we call death.
In that great cloister's stiffness and seclusiop,
BY guardian angels led,
Safe from temptation, safe from sns pollution,
She lives, whom We call dead
We will be patient and assuage the feeling
We may not wholly stay;
BY silence sanctifying. not concealing,
The grief that must have way"
