Col. Frank Brown is no doubt in the lead just nov
for the Deilocratic gubernatorial nomination. lie
is very strong in Western Maryland and the
Farpcrs Alliance in other sections Of the STATE is
declaring for him Ifhe continues to gain strength
in the future rs he has in the past he VIII have
practically little opposition when the convention
meets. Col. Brown seems to have strong grip on
| the farmers everywhere.
From the Baltimore American.
There is nothing beyond an individual expires
sion OF opinion among members of the Alliance 10
indicate what its action will be as a body in State
politics These individual opinions, however, are
numerous and emphatic, and they seem to point to
two things: First that there will be no Alliance
State ticket Second that there is very strong
sentiment in favor of Frank Brown for governor.
Tie action of the CordOva talbot county, Alliance
/ endorsing ar. Brown was the first move IN TINS
direction, and the resolutions were unanimously
passed receiving tine yotG Of the Democratic ana
Republican members A few days lateT Mr.. Hugh
Mitchell. president of the State Alliance, expressed
! to several persons his personal preference for Mr.
| Broyn. rs against all the other candidates named
up 10 this time Other officials and members OF the
Alliance hayc freely expressed themselves in his

The position Of GEN. Brown becomes stronger
every day and il is probable the developing unity OF
the Alliance and Democratic principles VIII make
him the almost unanimous selection Of the popular
and political power of the State.
FROM the MechanicstowR Clarion.
We were one of the fortuua.c few from Frederick
county that accepted Hon. Frank Browns invita-
ton to luncheon with him on the 9th ut we arc
bound to accord to Mr. Brown all that is due to
generous host without formal pretense he gave us
welcome and his sincerity Of word and manner was
questioned by no one, He spoke of the Maryland
press in words that were noi s0noroqs and hollow
but sensible and warm: in return some OF the
brethren complimented him By naming him for
Governor. They meant II, however, and they gave
evidence OF their shrewdness IN this, for unless We
mistake nightly in our Judgment Farmer Brown
will be Maryland's next Governor.
