by tho republicans in five of tho six dis
tricts Of Maryland on Thursday. There
were two republicans from Maryland in
tho last congress and the same gentlemen
will bo returned 10 tho next congress.
Tho other four districts will DO repre-.
sented BY democrats, although the repub-
lican vote will be very largely increased
in all OF them. If any able republican of
large wealth should take notion to
represent the first Maryland district
eastern Shoro) in congress. no could
easily mako his election sure by bringing
out tho republican vote. The democratic
majority is all derived from two counties,
which the republicans scarcely think it
worth while to contest. A vigorous and
determined canvass in these counties by
an aggressive, courageous man would
change the political complexion Of the
whole Eastern Shore. Mr.. George NJ.
Russum. who was nominated by the
republicans on Thursday, Is good
\ speaker, and would make gallant fight
| If furnished with the shows OF war. 1t
will take dozen Of good speakers,
| however, and rs many brass bands to
whoop up the republicans Of the lowor
| peninsula.
The second district which takes in the
upper county Of tho eastern shore, is also
democratic district, and is likely to re-
main so until there is an upheaval in
Baltimore county that will cause n dis
ruption of the party as now organized. Tho
othor three counties Of the district--Cccil,
Hartford, and Carroll-although generally
democratic, are sometimes carried by tho
republicans on local issues. Hon. +. G..
Talbot has represented this district for
| two terms and Is q candidate for third
term, but no has ambitious competitors
who have thus far succeeded In prevent
| ing his denomination. After some 1000
ineffective ballots tho nominating con-
vention adjourned sine die, and the bat
tic will havo to be fought over again,
with the prospect Of another deadlock,
when tho evenly divided delegates from
the four counties meet again. When
elected tho last time Mr.. Talbot had
something like 100 majority over Mr..
Thaddeus C. Dair of Baltimore, who has
been again nominated as tho republican
candidate.
No republican candidate has yet been
nominated in tho third district, which is
composed of the first nine wards of Balti-
more city. DR.. William II. Colo is tho
democratic candidate. He il native

who affects q mighty interest in his al
legged countrymen. His candidacy was
regarded as joke by the democratic
politicians Of the district until they dis
covered that he had actually secured q
majority Of the wards. There was great
nomination, and there is some talk Of an
independent democrat taking the field.
The republicans made no nomination.
Mr.. Hoblitzell represented the district in
the last congress by a majority of nearly
5000 over his republican competitor. al =
cratic candidate in the field who received
1900 votes. The republicans have not
much show in the third district
Hon. VIM. L. Hooper, proprietor Of the
Morning Herald, was nominated by the
republicans in tho fourth, although it is
not known whether no will accept the
honor. Mr.. Findlay has boon renomi-
mated by the democrats, and his defeat is
not probable, inasmuch as there Is q
margin of nearly 1000 votes to be over.
come. Mr.. Holton, much against his
will, has been re-nominated by tho re.
publicans of the fifth district. Ho will
as matter of course, DO rc-elected, but
he is weary Of public life, and was most
anxious to retro. Mr.. McComas, will b.
reelected in the sixth district, and will
be one Of tho ablest and most useful OF the
younger members of the house. His
record at the last session is entirely salts
factory to his constituents, and no will bt
returned by oven larger majority thar
he obtained two years ago.
