As but eight days intervene between this and
the democratic primary election, the excite
ment Is daily on the increase. and no road in
the county, either public or private, can now
be Travelled without meeting scores Of candi-
dates eagerly searching for votes. while picnics,
tournaments and other public gatherings are OF
daily occurrence. Much native eloquence Is be-
ing expended in charges to the gallant knights
who have been successful in impaling an iron
ring upon q pine pole while riding at the dizzy
speed Of an ordinary farm horse. Among the
candidates the character much admired 10 that
OF "Gurth. the born thrall Of Cedric, the
Saxon" Those who worship ut the shrine Of
the Chinese loss" of Maryland politics are
also much admired. As the campaign progresses
charges and counter charges against the
several candidates are freely made and
the fight is rapidly coming to the Kill
kenny ca. order. Among the charges made
against DR.. Edward Wootton. the anti-ring
candidate for the state senate. 10 that during
his term in the senate he voted to extend the
time Of Judge Stone, . republican judge of
southern Maryland. To this his friends reply
that even IL the charge be true, he stands in no
worse light than his opponent, Mr.. H. W. Tai
bott. who was a warm advocate of the extern
sion Of the time of the late Judge Richard 1
Bowie. who was also . prominent republican
Of this county. The appointments to federal
positions appear to be coming in slowly, but
one having been made here so far Those
holding the promises Of office appear to be get
ting uneasy. for unless they get their places
previous to the primary election they appear
to think their chances viii be extremely thin.
