Being all of one political complexion. partisan
feeling need not influence the choice and business
ability should be the prime requisite. Nor do we

grasp who can for the farmer without sacrifice

without sinking the manufacturers and his hands,
who can recognize the need of the seed oyster
catchers to have living without eonceding their
right 10 restrain the State and its people from ten
millions of dollars from oysters yearly.
There may be several such men among the aspi-
rants to the Office of Governor of Maryland. There
is one, however whom regard as possessing these

of the ambitious able young sons of our old State
have left for progressive fields that it does
good to note that there IS still left to let the
world know there is life in the old land yet" and
Mr. Brown is force and an encouragement him

From the Ellicott City Democrat
We have read with a good deal of pleasure the
report of Mr.. Frank Browns address delivered last
| Wednesday before the Garrison Forest Grange, of
Baltimore county, and the speech should have place
in the Democrat did not our crowded columns for
bid. As Mr.. Browns neighbors in Howard county
are aware, he is practical farmer, having served
his time in the most arduous and constant labors
in the field after his carly youth had been nurtured
and grown strong in roaming the wildwood of our
borders His speech is characterized by solid good
sense rather than rhetorical flourish, and his many
admirers and friends who have proposed for him a
career of enlarged public usefulness and response
bility as Governor of Maryland will read not little
in to justify their hopes. We pronounce it frst-
rate speech, timely and in good taste.
From the Baltimore County Union, Rep.
Mr. Frank Brown who is looming up as a Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, has big following
in Baltimore county and is generally very popular.
The farmers have a strong liking for him, because
he is a county and largely interested in agri-
culture and stock raising. If we must have DEM
ocratic Governor we would rather see Frank Brown
in that Office than any other man who has yet been
named for that place. He is a safe man and one
who would conscientousy discharge every duty.
| This is the kind of Governor the people want and
the politicians had better give them chance this
time. Mr.. Brown delivered an excellent address at
the farmers convention at Pikcsvlle, on wednes.

MEssIas. EDITORS: The opening Of your columns
to the discussions of the claims and merits Of the
chief aspirants for the governorsmp has given the
people a very good idea of each of them, and OUT
people think we'll OF both Mr.. Brown and Mr.
Hodges 1t will not be disputed that Carroll's frs
love is Hon. Charles B. Roberts-that is a large ma
jority of Carroll Democrats would prefer him above
all others He. we believe, is not in the field or al
least will make no contest for the place, and afte
him the people pretty solid for Hon. Frank
Brown. Between Brown, Hodges and Spencer
Jones the nominating convention may become
deadlock, and Mr.. Roberts may be taken up. If 50
he would sweep the state. Brown and Hodge:
would run well too as would also Jones, and il
any event Carroll be relied upon for $50 to 5Ot
Democratic majority. Unless a great and unlikely
change takes place, Carroll will send delegates Il
the state convention for Brown. DEMOCRAT.
