Kent county.
For Comprehension Mcdonald, of
Montgomery county.
For Attorney-General- George M.
Sharp, of Baltimore city.
For Clerk of the Court of Appeals
Enoch B. Abel. of ST. Mary's county.
Mr.. Vannort, like Frank Brown, is q
farmer, who bas very successfully made
farming pay. lie is native OF the Eas-
tern Shore, and sustains character for
sound sense, Industrious habits, and
honestly In all his dealings. His little
speech accepting the nomination at the
hands OF the convention, showed good
taste and cultivated mind.
The platform Is like the generality OF
party platforms. full Of sound and fury
signifying nothing" and may be inter
preted to mean that white is black, OF
black is white.
Their nomination fairly opens the con.
test In Maryland and we shall hear more
politics discussed both wisely and fool
eshly in public and private than anything
else.
