THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET,

The Havre- de Grace Republican,, an indepen-
dent paper, noticing the nomination by the Re-
publican State convention of Mr.. Francis Miller,
for Comptroller, and Mr.. William M. Marine for
Clerk of the Court of Appeals, says:
"With Mr.. Miller we have no acquaintance,
but those who know him speak well of him, and
his past record shows him to be an honest man,
and in his nomination the Republican party has
doubtless secured an excellent candidate. Mr..
Marine we know WELL and as he is our neighbor
and friend, we deem it privilege to more fully
notice his selection as candidate for the votes of
his fellow citizens. He studied law with Thorn S
H. Welsh, and has now a large practice, extend
ing through Baltimore city and county, and Har-
ford. He resides about four miles from this city,
near Swan Creek postofice, on small but pleas
ant farm, which be takes great pleasure in keep
ing up to high standard of excellence, and from
which he gathers large crop returns. He is an
active politician, of the strctest sect of Republi
cans, and was one of the signers to the call for
the assembling of the first Republican convention
in Baltimore city, He has been true to his party
in every trial and emergency of its history, and
deserves its full support. He will doubtless re-
ceve it, and should, (as many politicians seem to
believe will be the case the existing revolt against
what is called fGorman methods and German
tactics continue and extend, and tidal wave of
political change place Mr.. Marine at the Clerks
desk of our highest State court the people may be
sure they will have a gentleman there who will
promptly and creditably perform all the duties Of
the position. He has been candidate for Con-
gress and for States Attorney of our county, but
always with such odds against him as to preclude
all possibility of election, and consequently has
never held political office. He was also a candi-
date on the Grant electoral tickets of 1872 and
1870 and on the Blaine electoral ticket last year,
but on each occasion was unsuccessful, the opposi
ton party carrying the State"

M9~The Baltimore San, in an editorial on
maryland Agricultural Fairs" in which refer
ence is made to the Baltimore county fair, says
"These fairs are of great value to the agricultural
community, not only in bringing farmers into
contact with each other and in acquainting them
with new methods and improved machinery, but
also in making them and their products known to
the outside world This is all true and there are
scores of other advantages to be gained by these
fairs, and our people generally should manifest
more interest in them than they have done here
tofore. Every farmer should make it point to
have something to exhibit. He may not get a
premium, to be sure, but he will have the proud
satisfaction of knowing that he contributed his
mite towards the success of the fair, and this will
be ample compensation for the little trouble his
exhibit may cause him. We hope to see next
years Baltimore county exhibition far surpass
any yet held, not only in the number and charac-
ter of the exhibits but also in the races, attend
ance, &c.

months and one day.
Mr.. Saffel was born at Bird Hill, Carroll coun-
ty, Nd, August 18th, 1861. He was most estim-
able young man, and loved and respected by all
who knew him. For two years he conducted the
farm of his aunt, Mrs. Cole, on the Old Hartford
road, s miles from Baltimore, and afterwards re-
moved to the city, where he engaged in keeping
q confectionery and fancy store for his aunt. He
was taken sick, and Dr. Whiteford neighbor-
ing physician of the city, was called in to attend
him, who said he was affected with malaria. But
continuing to grow worse, another physician,
Prof. DOUGH, was summoned, who pronounced his
illness typhoid fever, but was unable to save his
life.
As trustworthy and honorable young man,
and one who could be trusted in any position
where placed, it would be impossible to over
estimate his worth, it would be to eulogze
his character and amabiity among his friends.

I'm the event of the election of Mr.. John
W. Shanklin to the Office of Clerk of the Circuit
Court, he can best crafty the people of this coun
ty by cleaning out the "Augean stable" and giving
some other worthy men a chance. This appears
to be the general sentiment outside of a little
coterie who always work for their own interest,
and we believe that it will be Mr.. Shanklin's de-
sire to please the people, irrespective of party
He is, as we have said before, an honorable man,
and We regard him as too astute person to allow
lot of professed friends to pull the wool over his
eyes. We believe that should he be fortunate
enough to be elected he will conduct his Office on
business principles and without any reference to
the wishes of a few who would like to make tool
of him and indirectly run his Office for him.

@The State election in Ohio OF Tuesday re-

Foraker's majority over Gov. Hoadley was about
10000, and the Legislature will be strongly Re-
publican On joint ballot, insuring the reelection
of Hon. John Sherman to the U. S. Senate. Two
years ago the Democrats carried the State, Gov.
Hoadly's plurality having been something like
$4,000. singular fact about this election is
that the Prohibitionists and colored men went
strongly for the Democratic ticket while the Ger
mans were practically solid for Foraker. 1t is
