Looking Around.

Hon Barnes Compton was in the

He was in the village on Wednesday and
'set em up" to few of his followers
who cannot be convinced that he has yet
had enough He will be nominated by
his party, the wishes of other aspirlnts
to the contrary notwithstanding. But
his defeat will be so signal this time at
the hands of our brilliant young Con-
gresham, Hon. S. f. Mudd, that even
a partisan Governor will not have the
audacity to give him a certificate of cleo
ton. Mr. Compton is a clever gentle
man, but beyond doubt with the excep-
tiun of his personal aud political friend
and ally, MIR. German, he is the most
greedy politi-iln liz the Demo cratic party
of Maryland That is saying great
deal, but who can gaiusay it!
