A little gold salve on the Baltimore SUMS
pocket nerve might relieve it of its nervous
ness concerning Democratic politics. Its
erratic course and silly vaporings about the
call of the state convention being too early,
&e., can only result from personal aims OF
some kind. There is no legitimate ground
FOR flnltiinding with the Democratic s'tua-
ton. The Democratic editors are probably
responsible for the early date, AS they desired
ample time to discuss national, state and local
matters. As the press is the mainstay of the
party it was proper to regard its suggestion
Not being a Democratic paper, it is impu-
dence for the Sun to be offering suggestions
to the Democratic party.

The "Boss Horrors"

The Baltimore Sun had wall about boss
ism' and management last Saturday that
was absolutely ridiculous. The Democratic
marty leaders, we believe, have no further
interest in the coming contest than the selec'
ton of competent and popular candidates
and their election in November. The Sun
assumes that as the date of the convention
had lust been set, the people had gwen no
thought to nominees, and therefore any opin'
ION as TO the probable ticket must be only the
intention of the bosses. How ridiculous
and what ignorance Of what is Transporting IN
the state! Brown, Hodges and Jones have
been discussed by the people for six months.
The two former may be said to have been
before the people for four years. This Jour
nal published articles setting forth the merits
and claims of each four or five months ago.
There is not Democratic paper in the state
that has not had more or less to say regarding
the candidates, and every voter, nearly, has
made his choice. The san says
Only one county in the whole state has so
far chosen delegates to the nominating con,
yention, and not more than halt dozen OF
them have fixed the dates for the election OF
sucb delegates, so that the question OF candi-
dates has not been considered by the people,
except in very general way. The voters OF
the city of Baltimore have had no primaries,
thew have elected no delegates, and they have
not even m the most indirect or general
manner nassed in review the merits OF pos
s;bIe candidates When we add to these
facts the consideration that more than a
month and a.halt must elapse before the
neonle yet in line with chosen delegates Sc
ecting 10 nominate candidates, the torthcom'
ing ticket ought to be a very uncertain quhnti'y
indeed
Is il not possible to ascertain public senti-
ment before it is formally and in regular party
manner expressed? There is not county IN
the state where the observers OF public
sentiment cannot name in advance parts OF
the local ticket. They can also pretty accur
utely guage public sentiment of their respec-
tive counties upon the state ticket This
being true, when these meet and compare
notes it is not difficult for them TO arrive at
the probable state ticket in advance. Where
is the 'bossism'' or management about
this. The Sun has not observed the DRIFT OF
public sentiment. AS reflected by the rural
press, or is afflicted with the boss horrors.
Il is afraid it will not be allowed TO "boss'
the Democratic convention, and name the
nominees.

The Peoples Choice.

Hon. Frank Brown has long lead in the
race for Governor. The sentiment is largely
in his favor everywhere, and the indications
are that bat one ballot will be required
TO determine the result in the convention IN
his favor. His forces are we'll organized,
and his lead is too great to be overcome.
The only two counties that have selected
delegates TO the State convention have in
structed their delegates for him, and the re-
suit in other counties, soon to hold conven
tons. will surprise the friends of other aspi-
rants. Mr.. Brown is the peoples choice, and
when the people select candidates they see to
it that they are elected. The farmers OF the
State are largely for Mr.. Brown, and in
November an old fashioned majority of 2O,-
600 may be expected.

The convention recognized the popular
sentiment in the party in Cecil, by declaring
for Brown for Governor, and the collection

From the Peninsula Ledger.
The first gun for Hon. Frank Brown, of
Carroll county, for Governor was fired at
Elkton, al the Cecil county Democratic Con-
vention on Tuesday. 1t is plain to be seen
that other county conventions will place Mr..
Browns name before the State convention,
soon TO assemble. He will Oe the next
Governor of Maryland.
From the Belar .Egis.
The county press of the State is almost
unanimously in favor of the nomination OF
Hon. Frank Brown, of Carroll county, as the
Democratic candidate for Governor. Mr..
Brown, as postmaster of Baltimore city, de-
veloped executive ability of high order.
Instead of following in old ruts he instituted
many valuable reforms and made one of the
best postmasters Baltimore city ever had.
As Democrat, too, his record is spotless.
He is in thorough touch and accord with the
farming interests of the State and we have no
doubt he would make first class Governor.
He belongs, too, to our congressional dis
trict, which shonld give him some claim to
the support of the Democrats of Hartford.
The Democrats of Talbot county nominal
ed their ticket on Tuesday last. The follow,
ing resolution, says the Easton Ledger. was
passed by vote Of IA to II:
Resolred, That the sentiment of the peo-
pie of Talbot county being Enthusiastically in
favor of the nomination of the Hon. Frank
Brown, of Carroll county, for the Governor
ship of Maryland, the delegates to the State
convention from this county, are hereby in
structed to vote for and use all honorable
means to secure the nomination ofMr. Brown
for that office.

results shown by her pupils, and the regret that
she was indisposed was universal. Though it
may. have had nothing to do with the quality of
the music, the extremely tasteful and beautiful
dressing Of the participants added much to
the occasion. 1t used to be the custom TO
mention those who played or sang without
music, as all such numbers were the best, but
this time those who used their music were
the exception, and there were but few. This,
like other departments, evinces continuous
improvement.
COMMENCEMENT DAY.
The rain of Wednesday night cooled The
atmosphere and although Smith Hall was
filled to its utmost capacity, no one suffered
discomfort, and the recent improvements
made by elevating the seats and floor added
greatly to the comfort of those in the back
part of the room who could both see and hear
all that was presented on the platform.
Professor Rogers orchestra was in atten-
dance and enlivened the occasion with sweet
music A large number of strangers were
amongst the audience, friends of the gradu-
ates, but amongst them the familiar faces OF
a number of old students were gladly recog-
nized.
The graduates, faculty and students were
seated on the platform, and the students on
either side of the aisles, while the centre of
the room was reserved for the immediate
friends of the graduates. The young ladies
of the Glass of '91 displayed both taste and
good sense in the selection of their gradual
ing dresses, which were of white muslin,
made with girlish simplicity which was ex-
ceedingly becoming and appropriate.
The programme opened with music, follow
ed by prayer by Rev. J. L. Mills, D. D.,
pastor of the NJ. P. Church, Westminster.
