THERE has been rumor current III the
upper portion OF the county, that the Wes-
tern Maryland Railroad and the Frederick
Division OF the Pennsylvania system were
cndeavoring to arrive at some satisfactory
settlement of the connections between the
,,,o xo,1, ~ pruoov;lla junction II ic n
great drawback to the entire Northern part
of our county that it is practically shut of
from railroad connection with the county
seat, manly because of disagreement be-
tween the two railroads We do not know
to which road belongs the blame for this
condition of affairs, but the fact is that for
many years the connections at Brucevillc
were maintained hut have since been broken.
1t is to be hoped that there is something in
the rumor and the connections 80 much de.
sired will be made-West minister Carrollt0.

We trust the above rumol has solid
foundation. An Improvement of the existing
arrangements at the junction is of as much
Importance to the North End of Frederick

LOCAL NoM1NATIoNs.-On Monday even
ing last in answer to the call for meeting,
upwards offorty voters of this town gathered
in the Town Hall for the purpose OF inaugu'
rating new departure IN the matter OF pro-
yidinc candidates for the coming Corporation
election
The meeting took hold of the id in a
business-likc manner and placed two men in
nomination tor President Of the Board and
| eight men for Commissioners, that is, two
full tickets, from which number the voter
can make up his ticket NJ ossrs. J. H. Cover,
the present incumbent and MIR. q. }. Car
mack have been nominated for President OF
the Board and Nessrs. Jos. A. Weddle, l.. H.
Waesche. J. G. Mackley, c. J. Carmack, N.
| c. Croft, Geo. w. StocksdAle, e. IL. Bob!itZ
and ]. Wesley Crceger for Commissioners,
These names were selected by ballot from
list of thirteen that was put before the meet
ing and it will be recognized by all as list
of clrht to make a mistake in selecting from
which, would be impossible as to the two
nominees for President, their services as
| CORPORATION officers during recent years
stands in lieu of aught we could say tor
them.
In regard to the step taken by Monday
nights meeting, there can be no gainsaylng
its practicability. Hitherto, when election
day had arrived, as few as half:dozen have
interested themselves to secure good and
available men and it has frequently occurred
that the polls were opened before ticket
could be secured and in one or more instances
that we are able to recall, n name has been
used without authority, the man elected ana
q new election made necessary Hereafter
there will probably be more attention given
to the nominating meetings than the one on
Monday night received for unless our Jnds
ment is wholly at fault, this method has been
permantly introduced.
On Monday next, there should be no dis
position to 90 outside Of the nominees named
above: those who attended should abide by
the choice of the meeting and those who ana
not cannot with very good grace indulge in
criticism.
Tickets bearing all Of the above names
will be printed, a Ia Australian, and the voter
will mark with IN y in the square opposite
the names of those for whom he desires TO
vote.
