Though nominated in convention
by reclamation, the nominees for
Comptroller and Clerk Of the Court
Of Appeals did not get their nomi-
nations without preliminary con-
test, but both are men admirably
suited to the positions for which
they have been named. They are
both true and tried Democrats, men
of experience in public affairs, ir-
reproachable in character, and are
strong politically and their names
will draw strength to the ticket on
the Eastern Shore and in Southern
Maryland.-Harford Democrat.
The ticket is an excellent one
throughout and will be elected by
an old time majority. Southern
Maryland has been recognized and
given q place on the ticket. This
will encourage us TO active exertion
all along the line and ought to re-
suit in mooring all four of our
counties safely into Democratic wa
tiers and the triumphant election of
our able candidate for Chief Judge.

Mr. Smith, the nominee for
Comptroller, like Mr.. Ford, the
nominee for Clerk of the Court of
Appeals, has not been identified
with State politics and consequent
ly are not so well known in the
State.-Salisbury Advertiser.
The candidates for Comptroller
and Clerk to the Court of Appeals
are likewise men eminently fitted
for the positions which they will
soon be called upon to fill. Mr..
Ford is an experienced clerk of the
circuit court, and Mr.. Smith is an
able lawyer and business man.

Mr.. Ford's experience as court
clerk in the county for SO long a
time eminently fits him for the po-
sition for which he has been nomi-
nated.-Fredrick Citizen.

FORD FOR CLERK.

Mr.. j. Frank Ford, the demo-
cratic nominee for the Office of Clerk
of the Court of Appeals, is citi-
zen of st. Mary's county and is one
of the most popular and highly es-
teemed men in Southern Maryland.
Mr.. Ford 10 the son of the late
Judge Robert Ford. He started
life as clerk in store, then taught
school, became examiner and super
intendent of the public schools of
st. Mary's. In 1873 he was elect
ed Clerk of the Circuit Court in
his county and has occupied that
position ever since. So great is Mr..
Ford's popularity that he hiss never
failed of an election in his own
county which is usually republican
by a large majority.
One reason why all the Southern
Maryland counties urged the nom-
ination of Mr.. Ford on the State
ticket is the belief that he will
strengthen the local ticket in each
of them.
The nomination is most fitting
one. Mr.. Ford's long experience
in the Clerks Office will greatly
qualify him to fill the Office of Clerk
of the Court of Appeals. His pleas

OUR BALTXM0RE LETTER.

"We are the people and we will
be heard" This is what the masses
Of the Democratic voters of Mary
land said through their representa-
tives in the recent State Convention.
The people, as l have before stat
cd, demanded q nominee for Gov
ernor. Their demands were acceded
to unanimously. The peoples
wishes were consulted, also, in the
other nominations and the people
have brought the party leaders in
unison with them and unless some
improbable and unforeseen disrup-
tion occurs, the Democratic party
will confront its enemies at the
fall election with q united, solid
front.
The first expression Of my letter
today would furnish o text for
long sermon, but my discourse will
be short, as / know your valuable
journal will be crowded with fresh
er news than / can give you at this
writing. But / want Ia say few
words. Southern Maryland has
been honored, for the first time in
my recollection with place on the
State ticket. The man thus hon
Ored, j. Frank Ford, is worthy and
capable of filling any Office in the
gift of his people. Everybody
knows this, but the eyes of the
State will be upon Southern Mary
land in the coming election. We
expect every man down there to act
his part thoroughly. The section
should be redeemed and it is believ-
ed here that it will be il Democrats
all vote the Democratic ticket.
Let there be no dissensions !
Throw factions to the devil T! Let
there be no local fights, that is
chickering's among voters of differ
ent districts. Stand together like
men. Work for the redemption of
Old Southern Maryland and bring
all of her counties back into Dem
Ocratic ranks.
1t will not do for every man to
ask for the Office of tobacco inspec-
tor, for there are not enough such
offices to go around. Neither can
the Governor give o smaller Office to
every man down there because there
are not as many offices as voters.
Principle before office should ac-
tuate the voters of Southern Mary
lond.
Let those who have fought faith
fully, stand by the party and help
to bring back and welcome prodi-
gals to the fold and you can take
my word for 1t that Southern Mary
land will receive as much patron
age as can justly be accorded her.
But if you 60 to fighting among
yourselves we viii open the walls of
our wrath upon You and send down
. herd of Jabberwocks to devour
You. UNo.
