THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Ii Will Sweep the District Like
Tidal Wave-What the
PAPERS Say.

old Democratic test: sis he capable!
Is he honest?"-can be put and the
answer will he most emphatically
affirmative. Later ON, when these
standard bearers appear on the hus-
tings, to address themselves to the
discussion of the issues of the day.
and our readers will have an oppor-
tunity TO judge for themselves they
will see that our words are true.
They are both Democrats of the purest
type, untainted with the muddy,
mongrel stain of mugwumpish blood
that one finds now and then. nova
DAYS, i'm Democratic circles and Dem
ocratic ranks. They are worthy of
popular support, the full aid of the
masses. irrespective of party. for their
sympathies are entirely with the
struggling many.
From the W'icomico Nsrs.
With such safe men rs Miles and
Henry ON the ticket there can he no
excuse for Democrats refusing To
support the ticket. This is no time
for chickering's and discensions in the
party, and if we would be assured of
success we must have the undivided
support Of the party in the district.
The Democratic party has great
mission to perform, aud If that mission
is not completed by the present Con-
gress it must be taken Up again by the
next, and the First District must
have Democrat there to exert his
influence to redeem the party pledges.
So let Democrats bury their differences
and unite in an earnest effort to- elect
their candidates.
From the Somerset Herald
Joshua w. Miles is talanted; ener-
getic; honorable in every sense of the
word; brave and ever ready to defend
the right. and courageous enough to
condemn the wrong. w. Laird Henry
is a young man Of marked ability.
He is IA very eloquent speaker, and
has been prominently identified with
political affairs in his county since
attaining his majority.
From the ERicott City Democrat.
Both candidates are Democrats of
high character and conspicuous
ability.
From the Queensto,en Neses.
We regret very much that the
nomination did not fall to our county,
but as this is no time for tears or
regrets, but for solid work for our
candidates, We congratulate the win
ners and will initiate the example
set us by Queen Anne's defeated
candidate for the position-".!o our
level best to help elect the choice of
the convention"
From the Beldir Aegis and Inteuigencer.
Both nominees are first.rate men and
will undoubtedly be elected.
From the CentreriRe Observer.
The gentlemen are eminently quail
ified for the position, and should re-
ceive the support of every Democrat
in the district. They are young. active,
vigorous, braihy men, fully alive to
the importance and the dangers of the
national situation, We hope every
Democrat i'm Queen Anne's will be
found in line and doing his full duty.
From the Marlboro Gazette.
The ticket is a strong ore. NJ.
Miles possesses forcible character, is
studious and an orator. Mr.. Henry
is a brainy Young man. has made a
good editor, and will, therefore. make
a good Congressman.
From the Fsderaisburg Courier.
The ticket is composed of such ex-
cellent material that it can. and We
no doubt will, receive the hearty
support of every Democratic voter in
the district.
From the Kent Ners.
In another column we give extracts
from Democratic newspapers in every
county Of this Congressional district
bearing upon the action Of the recent
Ocean City convention. The gratitica-
tion expressed is universal. OF course,
counties which had candidates of their
own are disappointed. but the two
nominated are so eminently worthy
that all grief is dispelled and the
defeated seem disposed to unite with
the victors in vigorous campaign for
success. Both the nominees are young
men and jealous tariff reformers. For
ability they will rank with the first in
the lower House Of Congress.
From the Cdlrert Journal
The press is very fattering in its
comments upon the personnel Of the
ticket. Mr.. Henry is editor of the
Cambridge Chronicle, and if his efforts
and course in Congress are as earnest
and consistent as his able management
Of his paper, there will be no cause to
regret his selection for the responsible
position. We congratulate our Young
brother and friend. and wish for him
easy success in his campaign and
