DR.. shaw's Prospects,
From the Baltimore San, Sept. 10.

From the Baltimore Snn, Sept. 10.
DR.. Shaw was in this city yesterday, and
paid visit to Deputy Collector Shriver at the
custom-h house, He said he was sanguine that
he will get a denomination at the second dis
trict congressional convention next week.
DIR. Shaw's friends say he has steadily gained
ground in his canvass of Baltimore county
this week. Mr. Talbot was also in this city
Yesterday His friends practically conceded
that the Shaw party will have the call in the
! third and twelfth district primaries to-day.
Their claim is upon the districts that vote to-
morrow, but the Talbot party admit that il
will be a hard fight. Hon. Stevenson Archer
and Mr.. Henry d. Farnandis, of Hartford,
were at Barppm's Hotel. Mr.. Archer said
that the Hartford delegation in the congress
sional convention will be for !. T. G, Hopkins.
He was not able to foretell the outeoiBs IN
Baltimore county, but the friends of Mr..
Hopkins, lie thought, will be inclined to want
him to accept the nomination if Baltimore
county should want to give it to him. The
incidents of the convention Of two years ago,
he believes, will influence the Hartford dele
CATION to take the nomination if they can get
it. He said this without reference to his views
npon the subject. Many Democrats who
look over the situation without feeling say
that the CHANGES are decidedly in favor Of
the denomination Of DR.. Shaw, and that he
has gained in popularity with the people of
the district by the canvass that he has Rafef

The County Statement.

We publish in our advertising columns this
morning statement by the County Commis-
sioners of the receipts and expenditures for
the year ended June SOth, 1886.
The exhibit is very satisfactory, and shows
that the excellent financial management in
augurated in 1880 has been continued, and
that the county finances are in good condl-
ton.
The levy of fifty cents on the 500 yielded
ss5. sl7.17, but of this amount 81, Sl4. l8were
allowed for insolvencies and S2,096.65 must
he further deducted as discount on prompt
navment of taxes. The general expense ac-
count was ST., 1873. So, and 81, 500 ofthe coun-
ty debt was cancelled, leaving surplus OF
$272.7s.
The expenses of the county amounted to
S526.O6 more than the year previous, and
when il is considered that the court expenses
alone, over which the commissioners have no
control. were in round numbers 81 800 greater
than for the year lS84-S5, it is evident to all
that it took good management to keep the
expepses from forcing an increase IN the
levy. There was an increase for sundry at
torneys, for the jail, for justices of the peace
and for constables, and over these expendl-
tures the commissioners have little or no con-
troll. The increase in these items are nearly
$1,000 more, making an increase OF about
$4,000. By reason of the publication of local
laws the printing bill was about $500 greater,
and there were spent SO, 201. II more for pub
lie roads and small bridges, while the expen-
ditures for large bridges was about the same.
We have not made complete comparison
to point out where the Commissioners effected
savings in order to meet the increased expen-
ditures noted above, but we found that the
miscellaneous expenditures were about
1925 less and the expenses of the Aims
House were about 5000 less, while $4,000 OF
the county debt was paid offas against s., 900
the year previous.
At the close of the fiscal year June 80,
1879, the county's Indebtedness was S64, 7O9.-
81, as follows: County certificates outstand-
ing, 1925; due Union National Bank on
note, 10000; 81 200 due Daniel Bush estate;
$500 due George W. Armacost, and the treas
urer's bank account was Overdrawn to the
sum of $4,764.G1. From SG4, 709.6l, the
county debt has been reduced to $27, 200, a
reduction in seven years of S37, 5O9.6l, or an
average of over SIS, 500 year.
The only debt of the county is the outstand-
ing county certificates, amounting to S27, 2oO'
and against this debt, there were the follow
ing assets Outstanding taxes in the hands
of collectors, $lS, 7sC; judgments due the
county, So, 261.74; cash in bank, Sl2,8o7.7S.
The assets exceeded the liabilities by 81, 49,
Al.
Taxpayers will concede that the county IL
nances have been well managed, and that the
Democratic party has redeemed its pledges to
give the county safe and economical govern
ment. A few more years will find every dol
lar of the debt paid, further Improvement
in roads and bridges, and more liberal ad-
yancements to the cause of public education.
