Up Stairs Over Lauer 6 Marks.

There are injurious glasses which are
to be avoided as much as the helpful
ones are to be sought. The best thing
to do is to consult SILVERSTONE, the
eye specialist. He is able to do you
good. Many persons have greatly i'm
paired vision because they do not at
tend to their eyes in time. Silverstone,
the eye specialist, has a record of 5000
different names, to whom he can refer
you for reference for his good work.

cles and eyeglasses. He soldiers
frames and duplicates lenses on short
notice.

candidate for the position of deputy and
he could successfully pass an examination
given under the direction and marked by
the civil service commission a place might
be Obtained there, A frtace might be obtain
ed in the customs sefVice in Alaska, but it
could just as easily have been obtained be-
fore through the failure of the commission
to ever supply an eligible register. There
are few private secretary positions, but
even a politician | would hardly presume
to suggest to an officer who his confidential
stenograpaer should be. There is a handful
of places in the mint and assay service, but
persons who fill them must be nominated by
an operative officer approved by the
perintcndcnt of the mint and then stand

fectfon OF the commission, and 1t IS hardly
likely my political favorite would be either
technical assayer, melter or coiner. If
he had the proper judicial temperament he
might be appointed a shipping commission

ty that he will receive the nomination. as
his weakness as a candidate IS manifest.
If Mr.. Eeirs is not his party's nominee II is
thought to be likely that the honor will go
to Mr.. GqIion Miller or Alvan 7. Tracy.
For county commissioners, judges Of the
orphans court and county surveyor no can
didates have yet appeared.
AS a natural consequence of the demo-
cratic plan of making nominations, much
importuning for votes, or eiectioneering. is
resorted to. For the past six weeks or
more the large number Of democrats who
are seeking nominations have been busily
engaged in eectionering, and from now I'M
til primary election day this activity will
steadily increase.
There are two contests among the demo-
Gratis which are absorbing almost all Of the
intereSt-those for the states attorneyship
and sheriffalty nominations. In the former
fight Alexander Kiigour, the incumbent; H.
Maurice Talbot, Charles w. Prettyman
and Bowie F. Waters are the contestants.
AT this stage of the game it looks as II Mr..
Talbot will be easy winner, but he is
being bitterly fought. and as nothing will
be left undone to encompass his defeat. the
situation may change. The chief opposi-
ton to Mr.. Taibott's candidacy comes from
members Of the Rockville bar. almost every
member of which Is working against him.
MI. Talbott's friends claim that this oppo-
sition is prompted by jealousy, due to his
success "a a practitioner, Notwithstand-

Mr.. Talbot will easily win his fight.

Richard Harriss, Thomas B. Howard, Sala-

think that either Williams or Fairall will
win. with the chances in favor of the for

For county commissioners Richard L.

POLITICS IN MONTGOMERY.
for County Honors Already
In the Field.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, June s, 1885,
Montgomery county has long been noted
for its hot primary political contests, and
this year the reputation Of the county in
this respect Is being fully sustained. At the
election to be held next November a large
number Of county Offices are to be filled
and the fight for the nominations Is now
on in earnest. The list of officers to be
elected includes states attorney, a sher-
iff a county surveyor, three members Of
the legislature, two county commissioners
and three Judges of the orphans court.
Neither the republicans nor democrats
have yet set the date for their primary cleo
ton, but both will probably be held the lat
ter part of next month or early in August
The republicans elect delegates to a county
nominations. The democratic nominations
are made by popular vote, or by what is
known as the Crawford system
Among the republicans not much activity
is being displayed. This is probably due to
the fact that indications are that the
Gould-Noyes faction of the party will re-
peat the triumph of last summer, when the
Mcdonald Rutherford forces We're easily
defeated While the county convention, as
far as factions concerned, promises to
be one-sided gathering, 1t is said to be
the policy of those who will control the
body to recognize all factions in making the
nominations and endeavor to name a ticket
that will receive the united support of the
party While a number of gentlemen are
