How It's Stands in Anne Arundel County.
The Annapolis correspondent Of
the Baltimore Herald gives that Jour-
nal history Of the political situation
in Anne Arundel which seems to IS
fairly correct Politics are warming
up in Anne Arundel The fusion
Democrats, who 10 1883 made q com
bination with the Republicans, and
defeated the regular Democratic tick
ct, having voted for Mr.. Compton
and President Cleveland last wear.
are this year endeagoring to capture
the Democratic primaries and 70 nom.
mate q county ticket. The regular
Democrats are opposing this move
ment. The fusionists are making
heavy claims Of carrying the county.
These are met by the cheerful denials
Of the regulars. The fusionists claim
ed that they had the help Of Senator
German and Mr.. Compton, but these
are evidently at the present baseless
assertions, as nowhere can the work
of these two leaders be seen to have
effect. In the First district John III.
Hopkins and Jacob Bird are candi-
dates for county commissioner. Mr..
Hopkins will carry the district. Mr..
Tilghman Howard has 20 opposition
for the Legislature.
In the Second district DR. VIM. G.
Williams and DR.. George w. Ham
mond are mentioned for the Lepis-
lature, and are supported mutually by
each others friends-one set Of dele
gates doing for both candidates. One
Of their supporters has given It out
that one will be equalled bafIied If
the other is nominated. Mr.. Isaac
Hopkins is candidate for county
commissioner. The Third district
puts forward but one candidate for
the Legislature, DR.. Elijah +. Will
liams.
The candidates for county commits
sioners are Oliver H Williams, VIM
H. Baldwin and Horatio TydiDgs.
For sheriff tho Third presents II.
s. Anderson, Wilson b. Nichols and
George w. Safield. Mr.. Bannon and
his friends, it is conceded, would
have bad a walk over 10 theThird but
they divided, for some purpose,
through the county commissioners,
whom that influence controls, the
Third into two precincts. The Wells
interests mans the Democratic execu-
tive committee, and, finding it had
strength TO carry one precinct, they
gave that precinct two and a-half
votes, which was that much clear gain.
On this the county commissioners re-
divided the district, and put about 10
of their friends in the lost precinct
The regulars will stand by the diYis-
ion adopted by the Democratic exc
cutive committe, and willrefuse to re-
cognize the last division because it has
not the sanction Of the Democratic
executive committee.
The Fourth is put down as belong
ing to Mr.. Bannon, and nobody has.
been named yet for place on the
ticket from this section.
The Fifth will ask for the nomina-
ton of. George N. Potee to the Legis-
Iature. DIR. G. r. Watterson is
candidate in this district for county
commissioner.
The Sixth (Annapolis) will present
the name Of John Ireland as q can
didate for the Legislature. and Will
liam b. Gardner for county commits
sioner.
Ia the Eighth A. B. StaIlings and
Joseph T. Franklin are candidates
for the sheriffalty; Edwin G. Cot,
Jr., for Legislature. and Arthur Carr
and Thomas II. Phipps, for county
commissioner
There Is no opposition anyw here
to the denomination of the venerable
Major Sprigg HARDWOOD as clerk of
the Circuit Court.
The Republicans have not yet In
Dictated their political purposes. No
time has been mentioned for their pri-
maries, aud they are evidently laying
low and watching high.
