FREDERICK AFFAIRS.
Both Parties Commence Aggressive
Fights for the County.


Correspondence Of The Evening Star.
FREDERICK, Md, August q. 1898.
Surprise was created among the ranks Of
the democracy of this county yesterday,
when, at the close of the county central
committee meeting held here, the leader of
the party, Col. L. v. Baughman, resigned
the craftsmanship and intimated his inten-
ton to withdraw from politics. 1t is not
likely that the party will accept his resig-
nation, but, in the event that 1t does, it is
pretty certain that j. Roger McSherry, son
of Chief Judge James McSherry, will be
chosen to fill the Vacancy. The committee
at its meeting yesterday decided to hold the
county primary meetings on the 18th OF
september next. AT these meetings dele
gates will be elected to the county conven-
ton. to be held here on September q. and
members of a new county central commit
tee Will be elected. At the county conven-
ton nominations will be made for sheriff.
five members of the house of delegates and
the state convention in Baltimore on Sep
tember q to nominate candidate for state
county have already placed their ticket in
the field. and 1t is considered a very strong
one. They decided at their convention to
nominate county commissioner ticket be-
lieving that the act of legislation Of 1892 eX-
tending the term of county commissioners
