ministration.
There are about twenty candidates for
police commissioners Of Baltimore, while
two are to be chosen, and all are here,
working up their booms. Four candidates
for state treasurer are on the ground
Messrs. VIM. T. Brigham, Thos. J. Shry-
ock, Leon Selyn and Jos. F. Carter.
All the candidates for the United States
Senate have opened headquarters and are
working like beavers to gain votes.
The anti-W ellington forces are doing all
in their power to stave off a caucus, and
have the election take place without the
djdate.
Mr.. Wellington and his friends favor a
caucus and will exert their efforts to have
one.
