Some trouble is expected among the
| Democrats in Caroline county, owing to
the third party, the Fusionists, which
sprung into existence some years ago and
which party defeated the regular Demo
cratic ticket last fall was a year. The
| Fusionists are still in existence, and it is
said are growing much stronger in the
southern part of the county, where the
party was born. The fall election promises
to be close at the very best, and this will
give new life to each party. The contest
will be purely on political lines, and q
great fight will be made. A number OF
| names have been mentioned as probable
candidates for the different offices, but
| little speculation can be made in this direc.
| ton at the present time. The greater the
number Of aspirants, the better are the
chances for the Fusionists to win, as where
there are so many who areeSpecting some,
thing. there is surely TO be some dissatis-
faction among them.
