ed himself freely on the politi-
cal situation. saying that he
saw no reason now to doubt
the ability of the Democratic
party to elect the state ticket
next November, as well as n
good majority in the Legisla-
ture. After the local and gen
eral tickets are nominated, the
campaign would, he said, go
on without much friction.
There was less in the way oil
local contests than usual, and
even where these fights were
bitter, both sides expected
harmony after the primaries.
All were devoted Democrats,
who would stand by their party
rather than desert to the Re-
publicans.
Mr.. Talbot went on to say
that he found the men active
in party affairs anxious to
profit by their experiences last
autumn. Organization and
registration, which were neg

a whole souled rousing of the
party there must be but one
result-complete Democratic
success. The party manage
ment was, he said, as good as
imperfect human nature could
allow and a majority would
sustain it as they had done in
the past.
In conclusion, he said that
men of high character would
be nominated, and predicted
success for the ticket.

A number OF Eastern Shore
Democratic leaders were in
Baltimore on Thursday, in
Guiding Congressman Joshua
w. Miles, w. Laird Henry,
Ex-Congressman John b.
Brown, State Senator w. p.
Finley, John Walter Smith
and others. The political sit
uation across the bay was gen.
orally discussed, yet it was the
prevailing opinion, after a deal
of gossip, that the prospect for
Democracy was encouraging,
notwithstanding faction differ

where the Brown and Heating

the primaries. harmony there
after is expected as well as

Since the withdrawal OF Mr..
Rayner from the race for
the Democratic Governorship
nomination attention is being
more than ever attracted to-
ward Senator Hayes. the only
remaining candidate who is
actively seeking the place at
the head of the ticket. Just
now the Senator is attending
quietly to his law practice, but
the issue Of reassessment, to
which he has devoted himself,
heart and soul, has awakened
the rural districts, where there
is a widespread demand for his
nomination. Not only in the
country las he won hosts OF
friends, he can count large
numbers of them in Baltimore
outside OF the wealthy and cor
porate interests.
Senator Hayes is an I'M
flinching champion of a reas-
sessment, and, it is asserted
by his friends, his strength in
the state convention will be
too great to be overcome by
those who are opposed to him.
He is the one man who is
fighting for an issue in which
the masses OF the people are
vitality concerned, and his fol-
lowers clam that II would be
more than wise to nominate
him after the common folk
have been thrice promised and
thrice baked of revaluation
