Democratic Outlook.

THE outlook for the approaching
election grows brighter and brighter
every day and Democrats who at first
misunderstood the situation 1.-THE ma.
jority are readers of the Baltimore San
and did not stop long enough to con-
slider the true facts in the case, are fall
ing into line like men and by the 5th
of November only the chronic and ir-
redeemable kickers who might as well
be classed with the opposite party will
remain out of the fold. The strength
OF the State ticket is increasing mar
velously and no one yet has had a
word to say against any member of the
county ticket. There never was bet
ter class of candidates before the peo-
pie than now, and no true blue Demo-
crat will allow nonsensical issues to
divert him from the path he has al
ways trod and his father before him.
A change Of sentiment is noticed ev-
erywhere and reports of the large
meetings g 'tten up in honor of the
candidates on the State ticket, Messrs.
Hurst, Smith and Crothers are very
gratifying. The people now under
stand the degraded course of that once
honored Democratic paper, the Balti
more San, and hundreds of Democrats
in this county have discarded it for the
Herald, which if not decidedly Demo
cratic, at least is honest and fair and
pub Ishes matters Of interest to our
party which the Sun maliciously con-
ceals. 1t is very difficult to make men
understand the policy of the Sun in
using them as catspaw to pick out the
German chestnut from the political
fire, when they as party must burn
their fingers badly in the attempt.
The Sunday Herald in speaking of
the progress of the campaign, says:
"No one could have accompanied
Mr.. Hurst and Senator German on
their tour through five Eastern Shore
counties without seeing that the re-
ports of disaffection in that section of
the Safe, which were trumpeted
abroad by the anti-Gorman organs,
have grossly exaggerated the actual
state of affairs. In Worcester County
Mr.. Gorman's speech made a deep i'm
preston. Whatever his enemies may
say of him, however much they may
attempt to belittle him, the Senator is
a good campaigner, and when he talks
as he did on the other side Of the Bay
he is bound to win votes Worcester is
one OF the counties in which it was
said there was a "revolting" again t
the State organization for years back
The only difference is that this year the
'revOlters" have gotten up a ticket of
their own, but it will be very strange,
IL Is said by Well-informed men, if it.
makes much impression on the general
RESULT
In the other counties the most exag-
gerated reports have been heralded
abroad by the Sun and other papers
which want to see the State delivered
over to the Republicans, and these
have been found to be entirely myth
cal. In Wicomico the party organiza-
ton is in better shape than ever before
and it is thought that the largest vote
ever polled will be the result In SOM
erset, Dorchester and Kent things are
very satisfactory and the indications are
for an increased majority for the DEM
ocratic candidates. The majority given
last year for the Congressional candi-
date was 1000; this year it is placed at
at least 1000 by conservative men.
