Political Notes.

The Republican Congressional Conven
ton of the Second District, which met in
Baltimore on Thursday, nominated for Con-
gress Hon. VIM. M. Marine of Hartford
county. Mr.. Marine is rotund and good
natured, and we hope he will lose neither
flesh nor temper in the campaign on which
he is about to enter.
The Democrats of the Sixth district have
acted judiciously in nominating Col. L. Victor
Baughmau for Congress. Col Baughman
is one ofthe editors ofthe Frederick Examiner
and is President of the Chesapeake and Ohio
Canal Company. Besides being good
Democrat, he is active and energetic, good
speaker and is popular throughout the dis
trict. He is particularly acceptable to the
working classes. The Democrats of Fred
rick county are united in his behalf, and ex-
Governor Hamilton and his friends, in Wash
ington county, it is said, will do all they can
for him. He is conceded to be the strongest
candidate that could have been named against
Mr.. McComas.
MIR. Peter G. Zouck, of Glen Morris, Balti-
more county, has accepted the nomination
for Congress by the Prohibition party of the
Second Congressional district.
Every Democratic newspaper in the
Second Congressional District has warmly
endorsed the denomination of Hon. Frank
T. Shaw for Congress. His reelection is as
sured, by larger majority than before.

Politics aud Crops in the Fifth District.

The loug-continued drought in this locality
has seriously affected the canning interests
The tomato crop, especially, will be cut short by
1t. The ground has become so dry and hard that
the farmers have not been able to get their fall
plowlng done, and as consequence the wheat
crop will be sowed late this season. The drought
seemed to create a lull in the work of the farm
ers and this favorable circumstance has turned
the attention of many to the subject of politics.
Already we hear the qualifications, claims and
general availability of political aspirants freely
discussed. =, Perhaps this early opening of the
campaign, If properly and pleasantly conducted,
may lead to good results, as 1t will afford more
ample time for sober second thought and refiec-
ton.

instead of bull destroying serpent AS it
is, the design does not fairly convey the idea
