The letter Of Senator German to til,
Baltimore Sun has been universally reaC
and commented upon generally. Many
of our observing citizens regard it as a
vote-catcher, but it will fall short of the
mark. They praise the Sun for its dig
nifed ank manly reply If there was a
grain Of sincerity in the distinguished
Senator's invitation and if he really
owns the Democratic party of the State
md can deal with it as SO much mer-
hsndise to be handed over to a suitable
'idder for price, why did he not offer
is terms Of barter before the machinery
hereof was set in motion and the candi-
ates selected. The Sun has aptly
ubbed the letter as an artful imitation
deceive upon the principle Of the bid
I the spider to the fly.

DR.. G. II. Posey, is young physi-
clan in the Southern section Of the co1n-
ty, Of strict integrity and popular with
every one @ho knows him. During
Harrison's administration be served as
Deputy. Internal Revenue Collector in
charge Of the Washington Office and left
it as he went in without scratch against
him.
The nominees for County Commits
sioners are, Messrs Thomas II. Ching
aud Thomas Norman, the former ofNew-
port and the latter of Nanjemoy. They
are men Of standing and cast as good
business men. Mr.. Thomas H. Ching,
is self made man. Starting from the
humble walks of life, by honest dealing
with his fellow men. industry and pru-
dence, he has made bis way to the front
as one Of the first men Of the county and
is recognized bS everyone regardless of
party, as well suited for any office he
might ac,ept. He was not a candidate,
wanted no Office, but as a good citizen
that he is, he yielded to popular demand
and at muco sacrifice Of private interests
consented to stand for the office for which
be has been nominated.
Mr.. Norman served US in the last Leg
islature, an organic body SO memorable
in the history of our State as being near
er Republican than any other for more
than thirty years, and made a clean
record. Notwithstanding the tempta-
tons to do wrong surrounding a young
and inexperienced member in such a
body, he proved equal to the occasion
and reflected credit upon himself and his
county.
Mr.. John W. Clements, the nominee
for Sheriff, is a successful merchant Of
Hill Top. He is highly respected and
will make an efficient officer
With such candidates the future Of
the Republican party is more than hope
full. Nothing CAP prevent the election
of the ticket. No Republican who i.
such through principle can refuse it bis
support, and many independent Demo.
Gratis will find by comparison, without
much labor in so doing, that the Repub.
lican ticket in its personal make up i:
faF preferable to the Popo-Democl att;
ticket.
We hope for its success; we predict
its success. We feel and know that the
time is at hand when our people have
ceased to allow their predjadices to WARP
their judgment in political matters ant
will vote for such easures and men a:
are most likely to promote the puDli'
welfare.
Our advice to the candidates is t,
make the short campaign with zeal auC
earnestness: Ask the public support up
on the high plane of public good, steer.
ling clear of low and degrading mud
singing and personal abuse and happ,
end will be the result following TIE

The Republican party has declared
for legalized primaries What greater
blessing could befall a people? The
basis of our free institutions is the free
and fair expression of the popular will,
any other doctrine is anarchistic. Every
lover of liberty then should support the
Republican ticIet. The Democratic
party as at present managed is opposed
to suoh principle because it means the
downfall of the bosses and the supremacy
of the people Bear in mind how the
Rasin gang carried Baltimore city few

For County Commissioners,
THOMAS II. CHING,
THOMAS NORMAN,
The Ticket To Vote.

The Republican Convention recon
vened on Monday last to nominate q
lo,al ticket and put in the field one Of
Ihe best and cleanest tickets ever nomi-
mated by either party in the county
The party is to be congratulated on its
wisdom and the people should feel proud
that they have the opportunity Of voting
for set Of men who besides being in
every way capable of dischargiag the
duties Of the respective Offices for which
they have been nominated, are pure
and upright of character, and if elected
will reflect credit on their county. No
bossism figured in its make up-it is
representative territorially and in all
other respects. Broad and genuine
leadership may have figured in its selec-
ton, which was proper, for in politics
as in all other affairs of life, we must
have leaders. 1t is only when such men
prostitute public confidence they become
in common parlance bosses and deserve
condemnation. And there is Justine
ton too between bossism and leadership.
The former is an arrogant master who
rules for his own personal gain and often
times stiles popular demand to carry
out his selfish purposes. Leadership
means CONDUCTOR director, who
manages the thing undertaken that good
may come therefrom. So it is, brAiny
counsel directed the action Of the late
Republican Convention and candidates
were nominated, who must be satisflc-
tory to every one, believing in the princi-
pies of the Republican party and desir-
ing their success.
Beginning at the head of the ticket
with the Senatorial nomination: Mr..
George 7. G. Gray. of NanjemOy, is a
model citizen. He is thrifty and ener.
getic and commands the respect of the
people Of the entire county. He is at
present, President of the Board of Coun-
ty Commissioners, having filed that Of
fee quite two years and has made an
excellent official. His course has been
just and fair, discerning on all questions
the rights Of the county, at the same
time respecting the just demands of in

uccess in business and a man capable /
nd qualified to manage his own busi. t

Consistency, what a jewel thou art, "
is a question many of our Democrats
might put to themselves ere they vote
at the coming election. All along, that
party has favored the honest dollar as a
principle, the Democratic State platform
of last year even declaring for it. The
Democrats ofthis county opposed the free
silver idea, going so far in their opposi-
ton to such heresy as not oLly to op-
pose the POpulist ticket, but to visit Of
fensive abuse upon the candidates of the
party when nominated. If their posi-
ton was right then it is now, and yet
the machine for personal uses have not
only swallowed the issues they have so
stubbornly fought as vicious. but bas e
taken to their BOSOM two of the Popu-
lists candidates. endorsed the Populist
ticket and are asking for the ticket SO
formed Democratic support. Can any
self-respecting Democrat with any re-
gard for consistency do such thing.

The flrst hall OF the week was hot with

In the western counties.
The hot dry weather the first OF tho

she must. that the United States has
