The Maryland Democrats Preparing
for the Campaign.

The Democratic State Central Committee
met in Baltimore on Tuesday and was called
to order by the chairman, Senator German.
Hartford county was represented by Col. John
Carroll Walsh and Mr.. Charles II. STREET..
Resolutions were adopted calling the State
convention to meet in Baltimore city Oh
Thursday, June 9th, TO elect two delegates
from each congressional district and four dele
gates from the State at large to the National
Democratic convention, to meet at Chicago,
July Sth, 1884, and to nominate Democratic
Presidential electors.
The congressional nominating conventions
were called to meet on the 9th of August,
1884. The convention for the third con-
gressional district will be held at Elkton.
The members of the State Central Commit
tee for each county were requested to make
the necessary arrangements preliminary to
the said conventions.
Among those present at the meeting were
Hon, Henry ID. Farnandis, Hon. Stevenson
Archer Messrs. Murray Vandiver and j. It.
G. Hopkins, of Hartford county.
There was very little talk rs to the delegates
to Chicago. The name of Mr.. William
Young, of Hartford, was mentioned In that
connection. For the Democratic nomination
for Congress for this district three candidates
are fully in the field, namely Mr. ]. T. G.
Hopkins, who will undoubtedly be supported
by Hartford county; DR.. Frank II. Shaw, who
will be presented by Carroll county, and Mr..
j. F. G. Talbot, of Baltimore county who
aspires to be his own successor for the fourth
term. Mr.. Albert Constable of Cecil, and
Col. John Carroll Walsh, of IIai ford, are also
spoken of as probable candidates. The con.
gressonal convention will consist of dele
gates from Baltimore county, 5 from Carroll,
6 from Hartford and from Cecil, or 90 in all
Necessary to a choice, II. 1t will thus be
seen that Baltimore county, by combining
with either Carroll or Hartford, can make the
nomination, while neither Cecil and Hartford,
Cecil and Carroll or Hartford and Carroll can
muster the requisite number of votes.
The nomination is by all means due o
Hartford. Cecil county has been honored
with the United States Seator, Baltimore
county has had the congressman for three
successive terms, and Carroll has the Attor-
ney General besides having twice been honor
ed by the nomination of Mr.. Roberts, since
Hartford has had congressman. Hartford is
expected 10 roll ups handsome Democratic
majority for the candidate, whoever he may
be, and she will do it, but it is only just that
her claims to the nomination should be rec
ognized by her sister counties, particularly
when she presents an uneXceptionable can

The Baltimore Sun thinks the prospect
of IL good foreign demand for wheat this year
is not encouraging. The outlook for large
harvests in Europe, Australia and India is
unusually good and wheat is lower in Liver
pool than in New York. The Sun concludes
that to enable the American farmer To COM
pete with the prices of grain in foreign mar
kets the tariff of from 40 to 100 per cent which
he is compelled to pay on such manufactures
as are made in Europe must he reduced
wv lille live issue like low taxes is IN reach
of the Democracy it will therefore be sheer
stupidity for them to ignore and neglect it,"
says the Sun.

A CIRCUS COMPANY IN TRoUBLE.-Last Fri
day O'Brien's circus exhibited in llavre de
Grace After the afternoon performance Sheriff
Walker waited upon the manager and asked to
see his license. file had none and the Sheriff
thereupon demanded the fine imposed by law
for showing without a license, amounting 10
$50. The manager at first fatty refused to pay,
and the Sheriff being about to levy upon the
property, the fine was paid Sheriff Walker
then notified the manager that before the night
performance took place he must take out a
license. The Indignation of the circus man was
great and he refused to pay the license fee, $50.
Sheriff Walker told him that he could not ex-
hibit without license, if it took all the able
bodied men in Havre de Grace to prevent it.
Seeing that the law was too strong to be resist
ed the manager with very bad grace paid the
license fec and the show went on.

81 will mot support Blaine ifhe were nomi-
mated. Without analysing the public servi-
ces of MIR. Blaine or making any invidious or
disparaging distinctions between him and the
other candidate prominently mentioned, l
would say this: That have no sympathy
with and would not support any candidate
whose sources ofincome have been the money
centres and monopolies of the country; nor
would ! counsel the nomination ofsuch a man
by either party. l cannot reiterate my senti-
ment on the subject ofMr Blaine's candidacy
too strongly. His nomination would be
public calamity and his election national
disgrace"

sound as of burning grease. The sound was
immediately followed by an explosion. The
stove was blown to pieces, the tea-kettle, which
was upon the stove, was hurled with great force
against the ceiling, breaking the vessel to
pieces, and throwing the boiling water in every
direction. One piece of the stove went through
the ceiling and was imbedded to depth of two
inches in the joist above. Goals of fire from
the stove were scattered around promiscuously.
Her sister, Mrs. Andrew, was in the yard and in
the act OF stepping into the Kitchen when the
stove exploded in her face, at a distance of about
twelve feet Neither Mrs. Bird nor her sister
were injured. When Mrs Bird picked up the
box the sides showed spots as of grease upon
them but no particles of dynamite were visible.
