S-T The many friends of DIR. George H. Cairnes,
of Woodberry, say that he is not candidate for
Clerk of the Court, although he has been urged to
allow his name to be used. Mr.. John w. Shank
lin, also of the 9th district is candidate for the
Clerkshp, and with DR.. Cairnes out of the field his
friends-and he has large number of them-say
that he will certainly carry the district in the
primary. DR.. Cairnes is very popular man and
could-should he become a candidate-pole a
terrific vote in and around Woodberry, as well as
in other parts of the district. 1t is too early to
tell yet exactly how the cat is going to jump.

~That was sharp piece of work which was
done by the Republicans Of the Thirty fourth
Legislative district of Illinois last week. The
Democratic member in the Legislature from that
district died, and special election was ordered.
The district is Democratic by majority of about
$500, and the members of that party, thinking
their nominee would have walk over, and seeing
also that the Republicans were inactive, let the
election take care of itself. The Republicans,
seeing their opportunity, did nothing until about
forty-eight hours before the election, when they
nut candidate in the field and went to work for
him like so many beavers. The result was that
they elected their man by several hundred major
ity, thus breaking the tie in the Legislature and
occurring the election of U. s. Senator.

was exploded in the house of Theodore Lear, in
South Baltimore, which badly damaged the build
ing, but fortunately none of the inmates were
hurt. Mr.. Lear is foreman in the glass factory of
Messrs. Baker Bros, and it is supposed that the
glassblowers, who are on strike, made this at
tempt to get him out of the way because he, as q
union man, declined to join them in the strike.

rs The Kent Ne,os of last week says "the
Legislature will call convention for 1887, OF
authorize the taking Of vote in accordance with
the action of the last convention and it is gener-
ally believed that the city of Baltimore and other
populous sections of the State will largely favor
new constitution. This new instrument will doubt
less make vital changes in Office tenure, so that
clerks and registers elected this fall for six years
may be called to serve only two. In the great stir
made for such positions it would be we'll to bear
this in mind or it may be found that 'the game is
not worth the CANDLE"

Mg-It is proposed to run the New Orleans
Exposition through another year. The managers
are several hundred thousand dollars behind now.
What will they be if they run it longer than orig

3-The Baltimore city authorities are talking
of building morgue. We have a fire proof addi-
ton to our Court House which appears to be of no
use in its present shape, and which would be an
excellent building for the purpose. Perhaps the
city might buy it. However, we will be likely to
need an affair of this kind ourselves about the
latter part of November. From the present out
look there will be good many political corpses
around about that time. Let us hold on to the
fre-proof, and we may be happy yet.

formed against their man, will make such fight
as will sweep from sight all opposition. This is

@rThe display of fireworks given in Druid
Hill Park on Friday evening of last week, as the
finale to the reunion of the Army of the Potomac,
was grand affair and attracted between twenty

agreeable ending to a most enjoyable event, which
reflected great credit upon the city's well-known
reputation for hospitality.
