How the Counties Stand.

The Democrats of fifteen Of the twenty
three counties of the State have chosen dele

them the delegates were instructed to vote
for Frank Brown for Governor, and Mr..
Brown is the choice of the delegates from SIX
others. Eight counties and Baltimore City
will hold conventions the first of next week.
Here is the way the counties stand that have
held conventions:

The Ohio Contest.

The Ohio contest is attracting much interest
throughout the entire country, and the canvass
will be closely watched. The opposition that
developed to Gov. Campbell before his re-
nomination has since greatly abated, and will
almost disappear, it is thought, before No
vember. John r. Mclean, of Cincinnati,
the leader of that opposition, has fallen into
line for Campbell. and through his paper, the
Cincinnati Enquirer, has recommended ae-
quiesence and a united support of the ticket.
The contest is essentially national, with the
tariff as the leading issue. William Mckinley,
the Trainer of the Mckinley bill, and the chief
and foremost advocate of the principle OF
Protection, which in practice robs the many
for the benefit of the few, is leading the Re
publican column. Hell a fascinating speaker,
personally popular aud man of large ability.
Every trust, combination and manufacturer
who is faltenng on protection throughout the
country will be fried to raise 'fat for the
campaign. The Republican party in Ohio
will put forth its best efforts to carry the pro-
lection principle, and it has as further in
centive to energy and activity the election oil
n United States Senator.
The Democrats, however, are not without
hope. In fact there is feeling Of confidence
inspiring the leaders. and they are preparing
for an aggressive campaign. Gov. Campbell
has made a good record as Governor, giving
home.rule to the cities and bringing about bal
lot and other reforms. He does not expect
to lose much in Cleveland and Cincinnati,
where the politicians were opposed to him,
and whatever loss he may sustain there he is
confident of more than making up among the
farmers. The wool-growers have not realized
the blessings from the Mckinley bill that were
assured them, and Blaine's words, that there
was not a provision in the bill that would in
sure the sale of another pound of pork or
bushel Of wheat, have proved prophetic.
The removal of the tax from raw sugars has
resulted in cheapenngit, and this has proved
to the people that the tariff is tdr, and that
its removal or reduction from many other
necessaries of life would cheaper them also.

Mr.. Albert Griffin, of Washington, d. c.,
has persuaded himself into the belief that
judicious campaign in the South next year
will result in the Republicans carrying six
and probably eight states. Nj. Griffin I'M
bosomed himself in the columns Of the New
York Tribune, and the Baltimore american
and other Republican journals have repro
duced the article with approving endorse
ments There will be no break in the "Solid
South" as long as Republican state conven-
tons call for the passage of the Force bill.
And the Republican party, if it keeps bolster
ing up Protection and the Force bill, will be
lucky if it carries six states above the Poto
mac and Ohio

Manufacture of Fertilizer in this county has
reduced the cost of it to the farmer from
three to five dollars per ton and saved to

bring you nearer to the manufacturer? We
desire to deal directly with you as possible,
thereby saving to you all extra commissions.

Letter from Baltimore County.

RossvILLE, July Dist, 1891.
EDIToRs OF DEMOCRATIC ADVOCATE We
have found our slumbering pencil and will
endeavor to send you few items.
Mrs. Eliza Gregory, an estimable old lady
of eighty years, died on the 18th inst, and
was inferred at Camp Chapel cemetery, Rev.
John H. S. Clarke officiating.
Our village and adjacent hamlets are i'm
proving rapidly. Mr.. Christian Foltz, resi-
dent here, is having comfortable dwelling
erected.
Camp Douglas is not far from here. We
fear some were disappointed when actual
soldiers experience was demanded. Our
government is based upon principles of lib
erty, and we take great pride in knowing that
our soldiers are citizens, yet, well organized
militia, like proud old Maryland possesses,
is creditable, as well as a requisite adjunct to
any commonwealth. Many people from here
paid their respects with their presence.
Our principal branch Of industry, farming,
is on the rush. Corn, potatoes and small
fruits are being shipped daily, and reason
able prices are received. Dat harvest is
here. The crop is unusually heavy. Some
agriculturists are still wrestling with the hay.
Fishing with the seine will soon commence.
The peach and apple crop promises to be
very large. We hope to have some hard
cider soon; but, we do not expect to compete
with you in this line, and must be contented
with demiohn or two.
The public school here held its annual
picnic on the 10th inst. Principal Calvin I.
Shaffer, and assistant, Miss Ella German,
aided the children in having good time.
There were one hundred pupils in attend
ance during the year.
Mr.. jeremiah Miller was among the first
to market tomatoes, and | assure you they
hold high place here. Messrs. Wilson and
Gilmor Shatfer have a promising crop at
hand.
Our primary election on the 18th inst.
came off smoothly. Hon. Frank Brown
seems to be the man for the gubernatorial
chair. Have you any more roosters that
might be prevailed upon to crow, if occasion
requires it? OCCASIONAL.
