MR.. BROWNS NOMINATION
What the Press Has to Say About 1t.
From the Prince Georges Enquirer.

D FROM inc Prince HeOISe ) EnquICI'
Mr. Brown is a large landowner and his interests
are therefore identical with those of every farmer
in the state In fact the farmers seem to have real
lied this for from the beginning of his canvass they
were enthusiastic in their support of him. He has
also shown himself to be possessed of executive
ability of high order. While postmaster of Balti-
more under the Cleveland administration, he won
the respect and esteem of all for his excellent
administration. Mr.. Brown is afIable, courteous,
easily approached-a friend of the people. He will
make an earnest aggressive campaign, and lead the
Democracy to victory.
From the Hartford Democrat
As far as the nomination for Governor was con-
cerned the convention found that the Democratic
voters of Maryland had taken that trouble off its
hands, and 1t had but to formally ratify and
announce the peoples nominee. Mr.. Browns nom-
nation is probably the strongest that could be made
in the state He is himself a farmer and is largely
and closely connected with the farming interests of
the state which will find in him ready sympa-
thizcr and efficient and active advocate. In his
canvass for the nomination he has addressed him
self principally to the agricultural voters, and his
nomination for the highest place the state ticket
is direct recognition of their influence in state
politics In other respects also Mr.. Browns is an
excellent nomination. He is true and tried Demo-
GRAFT man of affairs and of great executive ability
As postmaster of Baltimore, under President Clcve
land, he displayed an energy and capacity for pub
lie affairs which made the Baltimore Office one Of
| the model offices of the country.
From the Belair E4gis.
Mr. Brown well deserves the honor which has
been bestowed upon him with so much spontaneity.
He is not only good farmer but an energetic and
capable business man. His executive ability has
been abundantly shown in his mastery manage
meut of the Baltimore posoice, in the able manner
in which he conducted the Pimlieo Exposition in
1882 to say nothing of the orderly and systematic
way in which he manages his private affairs. He
is endeared to the people by warmth of heart and
generosity, to which he unites a dignity of bearing
that the Governor of dear old state ought to
possess In addition to all his other good qualities
he is a Democrat grounded and settled in the faith.
He is prominently the farmers candidate and the
farmers of the state have uttered no uncertain
sound in demanding his nomination. lie will
sweep the state by an immense majority and we
predict will give us good administration, in which
the interests of farmers will be well considered.
From the Cecil Democrat.
The Democratic State Convention which assem-
bled In Baltimore on Thursday was harmony itself
With one exception the nominations were Ill made
/ by reclamation. and even that one made unan-
imOus before the resultwas announced The several
candidates selected are well calculated TO fill
with ability and credit the offices which they seek,
and will, without doubt, give to the state admin
istration to which we may honestly point with
pride.
From the Centreville Record.
Never in the history of the Democratic party of
this state has there been such unanimity in nom
mating full ticket prevailed last Thursday in
the Democratic State Convention. Every county
in the state and the three legislative districts of
Baltimore city fully and ably represented, and
each candidate from that for Governor down, was
named without opposition and by acnlamation.
This unanimity and harmony are particularly
pleasing to every Democrat in the State. Success is
assured by a very large majority.
From the Denton Journal
The ticket represents the wishes of the people,
without regard to geographical lines the desires
of So called managers, and every Democrat in Mary
land should be proud of it and give it his hearty
support The nomination for Governor of Hon.
Frank Brown simply the ratification of the
clearly expressed wishes of the people in every dis
trict and hamlet throughout the state.
From the Kent News
The ticket will be found one of the strongest
before the people ever nominated by the Democ
raey of the state 1t will sweep the Eastern Shore
from Cecil to Worcester and the other side of the
bay will add slch majorities as will make grand
total of not far short $1,000 Mark the prediction
From Chambersburg Pa, Valley Spirit.
The Democrats of Maryland have done themselves
much credit by the nomination of Frank Brown, ex-
postmaster of Baltimore for Governor. His election
win be by big majority. Mr.. Brown is popular
because he deserves TO be. He is a man who can
rightly aspire TO high Office because in every relation
of his life he has demonstrated that he is qualified
for the duties OF high Offices He is progressive,
honest and without fear. and, unless greatly
mistaken his administration viii be notable one
in Marylands history.
From the Mechaniestown Clarion.
Frank Brown was nominated by reclamation,
there was not even pretense of opposition. 1t is
not often that nominations carried off by main
strength as was this We do not believe there
vas even pretense ofa dicker or bargain on the |
part of NJ Brown. He spoke out openly. saying |
that he wanted tho nomination, the occasion of
the gathering OF the newspaper men. and as they |
prefer to have men ask for what they want and not
place themselves in the hands of their party the
boys seem to haye been able TO give earnest OF
their admiration for the open pursued by him.
for in our Judgment, the newspapers are not wholly
devoid of credit for the ease with which Farmer
Brown was dominated.
