JUDICIAL CONVENTION.

James Alfred Pearoe, Frederick stump and
wiIlian, X. sartIu Nominsted for JUDGES.
Denton, Nd, June 30. The Demo-
cratic convention Of the Second Judi
cial circuit met 10 Denton to-day and
noninatel James A fired Pearce Of Kent
county for Chief Judge and Judge
Frederick Stump Of Cecil county and
William Il. Martin OF Talbot county for
associate judges,
There was but one ballot taken.
Caroline, Cecil, Kent aud Talbot cast
their full vote for pearce, stump and
Martin. The Queen Anne's delegation
cast four votes for L. b. Hopper. two
votes for Martin and two votes for
Stump. When the result was an
nounced DR.. hobart Price OF Queen
Aune' asked that the nominations be
matle unanimous. This was done with
great applause.
There was rumor current in Denton
after the convention adjourned, which
caused much discussion. 1t was said
that Il. J. keating of Queen Anne's
and his side of the Democratic party in
that county well knew what the result
would be when the Heating faction
agreed TO ndorse Mr.. lIopper's candi-
dacy. Mr.. Hopper has always been re-
coenl2ed as belonging 10 tho brown
faction, and it created some surprise to
| find that he had been supported by the
Keating faction at the primary.
One of the delegates for Queen Anne's
said: ~ have heard the rumor, and
there must he some truth IN 1t, as MIR.
Happier asked for early primaries aud
separate primaries, but could not get
Mr. Heating to call them until after
the other counties had met, thus giving
them chance to combine against us.
IT this is true there will he war for
some years to come"
John B. Brown said 1.-THE ticket is
a good one, but arm not sure of it's
election. y
John Perry said Queen Anne's could
have beon relied upon for 500 or 600
majority with Hopper on the ticket,
but with this treatment she will not be
able to give more than $50.
The Kent, Talbot and Cecil people
say the ticket will surely be elected.
The Caroline people say that her part
| in the convention will strengthen
George A. Deakyne's chances for comp
troiler.
