Still Working on the Tlcket.-The Balti-
more county Prohibitionists held another meeting
in Baltimore on Monday last, for the purpose of
completing their ticket. DIR. Leas presided and
Mr.. Geo. II. Duncan acted as secretary. COM
munication was read from Mr.. J. H. Seabold, of
the 18th district, declining the nomination for
County Commissioner, and Mr.. Chas. 7. Merrick,
of the Sd dist, was chosen to fill thevacancy. The
following candidates for the Legislature were
then nominated: George H. Duncan, LIST district ;
J. Smith Orrick, 4th district Howard W. Ship
ley, Sth district Joseph H. Shamberger, 9th dis
trict; James NJ. Gillespie, 18th district, and
Daniel Beckley, 9th district. The nomination
for county surveyor was deferred until the next
meeting.
During some discussion upon suggestion that
the convention should take candidates equally
from the other parties and not nominate one
sided ticket, Mr.. VIM. Daniel replied that it is
not question now with the prohibition party
what mans political associations have been in
the past. We have cut loose from the old parties
and burnt the bridges behind US. If men have
left the old party hulks, have moved out of Egypt
and are marching forward to the promised land,
laughter we welcome them. We must be prohi-
bitionists, and no longer Democrats or Republi-
cans. A member said they would, however, have
to be careful so to act as not to give their oppo-
nents the leverage against the prohibitionists of
calling their ticket Republican dodge"
An executive committee of one member from
each district of the county will be selected.
1t appears that the temperance people wanted
to get all the Democrats they could upon their
ticket and when the name of Mr.. Howard W.
Shipley was placed in nomination for the Legis-
lature, Rev. W. T. D. GLENN arose and said "In
every respect he is very good man, save in his
politics. His family are all good Democrats, but
Howard is a political black sheep who has strayed
from the fold and denied the faith of his fathers
Query What kind of sheep is Mr.. GLENN?
