Favorable Reception of the Democratic Tickle
Republican Party Matters.

Republican Party Matters.
There we're fewer dsappointments, as the
result of the recent Democratic convention,
than probably ever known in this county.
The convention was generally composed of
free and untrammeled delegates, who were
moved by common desire to nominate u
strong and acceptable ticket, and the
favor by which the ticket is received Is an
evidence that the convention was quite sue
cessful in its work. There was entire alb
sence of dictation upon the part of anybody,
and the nominees were selected by the dele
gates on their own judgment, after consulta-
ton among themselves and with leading
Democrats who were in attendance at the
convention. The ticket being so favorably
received, hearty support at the polls may
be expected, and Democratic majority like
that Of 1885 may be counted upon.
Next Saturday is the day for the Republi-
can primaries, and the following Monday the
nominating convention will be held. The
slim Democratic majority last fall, together
with the success of the national Republican
| ticket inspired the Republicans with hope of
carrying Carroll this fall. They boosted all
| last winter and spring of electing their ticket
and aspirants for places on the ticket were as
thick as blackberries. Whenever offices are
1 in sight. Republicans are active. Democratic
/ determination to win, however, has dampened
the ardor of some Office seekers, and they are
not so rampant. Still there are several. who,
/ too dull to realize the situation, are eager for
nominations But there will be no multi
/ plicitv of selfanuounced candidates, and the
/ bosses are casting about to get candid ates.
/ Ii was once thought that the ordinary Re
publican nominees would be able to carry the
/ party to victory but now the very best mate
| rial is being sought. The name Of Col. VIM.
I A. McKelHp is mentioned for the House of
Delegates, and with him Granville ). Haines,
/ DR.. Jacob J. Weaver, Jr., and [. {. Wooden.
I Ii is not likely Col. Mckellip will accept a
7 place on the ticket The Republican party
T has no special claim upon him. He is one of
7 the original Republicans OF Carroll. and has
done more for the party than any other man,
or any half dozen When absorbed with
private business few years ago, he was IN
dermined by ambitious leaders, and con
yention was packed iuimical to him. That
the convention did not represent the party,
was shown by the vote for the nominee who
was placed on the ticket IN the place he should
have had These same leaders who still have
their grasp on the party machinery are IN
strait and they would ike 20 have the ard OF
Col. Ackellip's name and political skill 70
help them along. Republican victory Is
not expected, bat good poll, j; IS thought.
would strengthen the new leaders with the
state machine and the Administration, and
{ increase their chances for lucrative offices
Ifit we're believed that Col. Mckellip, or any
Of his close friends who might be on the ticket,
were likely to be successful, these machine
bosses would knife him 10 beiItile him, It's
not likely, either. that Mr.. Granville ;.
Haines will allow himself to be made an IN
