The democratic primary election for stat,
officers to take place in the several cleo
| ton districts OF the county tomorrow promises
to be a tame affair. The only names on til,
ticket are Spencer c. Jones for governor an,
George Wells of Anne Arundel and j. Franl
Lord Of st. Mary's for clerk of the court of ap
peals. Not one-fourth Of the vote Of the par t,
Is likely to be polled. This state Of affairs i
largely due to the fact that it now seems prett,
definitely settled that the nomination for gov
ernor will so to Frank Brown and that thi
county stands but little chance for any plac
on the ticket. The impression here is tina
Brown will be nominated and that after tn
election Hon. Pinkney Whyte and Uncle Georg
Cotton are likely to have comfortab BILE seats nea
the FIRE in the gubernatorial mansion at AMMAN
oils. The intense solicitude for the nomina
| ton of Senator German for the presidency q,
prevalent here for some time in certain classes
appears to be somewhat declining within tn
| past week or ten days. s. A. NJ,
