A WORD FOR MR.. JOHN HUBNER.

FIRST DISTRICT, BALTIC. COUNTY, Sept. LIST.
Messrs. Editors:-Things are getting very lively
in the 1st district Democratic camp. For while
it appeared that the Stiefel ticket would have no
opposition, but within the last two weeks an OBJ
nnSiso hos developed, not to be despised and if it
continues to grow until the primary will engender
much bitter feeling. This is unfortunate since it
may injure the chances of Mr.. John Hubner,
gentleman of sterling worth who, after much per-
suasion from many Of our best citizens, consented
that his name might be used candidate for
legislative honors. say it may injure his chances,
but hardly think that any delegation from the
1st district would turn down SO estimable gen.
tleman because he has never been identified with
any of the factional fights of the Democratic party
in this county, and he is certainly of the few
candidates now before the people who was sought
by the people. Should he receive the support of
the convention he will be great credit to the
county, if elected to the Legislature for his best
faculties would be devoted to the interests of the
whole county. Therefore we trust that whatever
the result at the primary he may receive the sup
port of the district delegation in the convention

MORE SKILL NEEDED.

Messrs. Editors II notice that proposals are
being asked for the building of two wrought iron
bridges over the Little Gunpowder-one at Guy
toms mill and one at Green's ford-to be erected
jointly by Baltimore and Hartford counties.
think it highly important that these bridges
should be located and built under the supervision
of practical builder, that they will not
be carried away again the next time freshet &C.
ours in the Little Gunpowder. am not among
those who believe that an ordinary house-carpen
ter is the proper man to superintend the building
of our bridges and therefore I think the County
Commissioners, in the interest of the taxpayers,
should select practical civil engineer to look
after this very important work. If this is not
done new and costly bridges will have to be built
every year, whereas if they were properly located
and built they should last life time.

@-Boss Isaac admits that he got s., 3O5.36 OF
the peoples money as Commissions" for collect
ing costs in removed cases, not single cent of
which he was legally entitled to. He also admits in
the Journal that he now finds himself with about
twenty thousand dollars worth of property" If
he is an honest man let him restore $5,30536 to
the county and he will still have about $4,000
left-not an insignificant sum to have accumula.

@>The friends of Mr.. Edward S. Peerce are
very sanguine that he will carry the 10th district
and to us it certainly looks thatway. Mr. Peerce
is not politician, has never been a candidate for
Office and says he would have no other Office than
that of County Commissioner. He does not want
the Office for the salary, but he wants il because
be thinks he can be of service to his fellow cti-
zens. This Is certainly laudabIe ambition.

@-This has been one of the most prosperous
summers at summer resorts ever experienced in
this country. The continuous hot weather has
sent city people to the country and kept them
there, while residents of smaller towns, who could
afford it, have kept up with the fashion and hied
away to the sea-shore or mountains, often to find
less comfort than they could have at their pleas
ant homes. This is the age Of luxurious enjoy
ment, and no previous timo in the worlds history
shows such general enjoyment of holidays by
all classes of people.
