PORT TOBACCO:
Friday Morning......."August 23rd, 1889
The Coming Campaign.
In another column the Democratic
central committee publish call for
the primary meetings and county con-
vention to assemble in Port Tobacco
on the 10th proximo. 1t was deemed
useless and unnecessary trouble to
have more than one county conven-
ton this fall. and hence the call does
not suggest the appointment OF two
sets of delegates as has sometimes
been the case. The same convention
;. will be charged with the duty of send
ing delegates to the State convention
and also with the nomination of coun
ty ticket. 1t is not probable however
that the convention will decide to
nominate the county ticket on the
10th proximo, out no doubt will ad.
journ over to some future day, subject
to the call of the central committee,
when the county ticket will be nomi-
mated.
AS regards county ticket very lit
tie can be said at this time, except
that it will no doubt be one that the
!. people will cheerfully support. There
will probably not be much pressure
for nominations and this condition of
things is always favorable to the make
up a good ticket. There is no doubt
that the nomination for Senator will
be unanimously rendered to Hon. r.
HI. Edelen. He is clearly in line for
this honor and since it will not con
fict with, but rather advance and
strengthen any further honors the
Senator's friends may look forward to
in his behalf, it is confidently relied
upon that he will lead the ticket this
fall.
With Edelen at the head of the
ticket the rest of it will be made up
without difficulty, aud our party will
60 into the campaign in the county,
as it should, upon an aggressive, Wig
orous, united and confident footing
This is no time to daily with the foe.
The campaign of this fall will be in
many respects one of the most import
ant and earnest that the State has
ever known. The Republicans, flushed
with their success in capturing the
Federal Government and the diminu-
tion of our State majority last fall. are
claiming the State. They claim that
they will elect majority of the COM
ing Legislature. The audacity of
such q claim and the fact that there
is some ground upon which to base it
will arouse the Democrats to activity
all along the the line, but nowhere
will such possible calamity be view
ed with more grave and serious con-
cern than il Southern Maryland.
Recollections of the days Of '64 and
'66 and the terrible junto that con-
trollod the State Government in those
days will surely nerve every right
thinking man in this section of the
State up to a full appreciation of
what his duty to his home and his
fireside now demands of him. There
will be an earnest, active, vigorous
campaign all over the State. The
great Democratic party Of the State
is thoroughly aroused and will assert
Its supremacy in no uncertain voice.
Not only will the Republicans 'be
beaten, but they will be doomed to
see an old. style Democratic majority
rolled up in the State.
: In this great onward march Of the
Democratic hosts Soathern Maryland
will not be laggard. In this coun-
ty it has been abundantly proved that
we can whip the opposition and route
it all along the line whenever we 60
to work earnestly to do it. Nobody
should think Of half hearted, desul-
tory" campaign this fall, but every
Democrat should buckle on his armor
for an earnest fight. Let us rally all
along the line.
