THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
The County Press on the Convention
and the Ticket.

| anu Inc I1cheI.
| Havre de Grace Republican.
| The nominees of the convention, Messrs.
| Smith, Herring and Rayner, are all men Of
| ability, experience and unquestoned integrity,
| and the ticket will prove IL strong one before
the people. The Republican party will find it
absolutely essential to select their best repre-
| sentative men, not only On their State ticket,
but also on their legislative tickets If they eX-
| pect to again carry the State, aud the contest
promises to be a close and exciting one TO the
| finish
| La Plata Crescent.
| Now that our primary contests arc ended let
lis loS ally bury the Ratchet of tactional dissen-
sion, shake hands on the result, and, turning to
| the common foe, make ready for the fray.
| Hagerstown Mail.
The platform upon which the nominees stand,
embodying as it does the cardinal doctrine of
Democracy must commend itself to the whole
party. The crying evils of the time are con-
demned in no uncertain words. The tendency
toward mtlitarism, the suppression of the pub
| lie voice through the medium OF the press; the
vast aRgregations of capital TO the detriment
of individual effort, are condemned as not in
harmony and accord with Democratic ideas.
The pandering to the idle and vicious element
of our negro population by the Republican
party is an evil that will cease with the acces-
sion t. power of the Democracy. EQUAL justice
to all regardless of race color will be dIspens
ed. The Democracy has already redeemed one
of its platform promises by presenting 'candi-
dates in every respect worthy OF confidence
and support Its plcdg for good admins
tration of public affairs will be equally well
kept.
Havre de Grace Democratic Ledger.
The ticket is the strongest that could have
been made, and meets with the approval of all
Democrats. Mr.. Smith name on the ticket ill.,
sures its success. In every section of the state
il has been long conceded that no other nomi-
nation could he made that would better serve
to unite the party and bring out the solid DEM
ocratic vote Mr.. Smith virtually had the en-
dorSement of the State, and the party goes into
the fight with an able leader, good Statesman
and tinancier, and Il man altogether fitted for
the high position he seeks. He will have in the
re- nomination of Governor Lowndes fOrmid-
able opponent, and it will be necessary for the
Democratic party throughout the state to be
untiring in their work from this time out, in
order to make the success OF the Democratic
ticket doubly sure. The standing of the men
on the tickets representing the two gre at par
ties in Maryland this year will insure clean
campaign, free from abuse and rancor, and for
this req n, if fer no other, it is believed the
campas.I will he an enthusiastic one. and the
full vote of both parties will be polled.
Prince Georges Enquirer.
The ticket which was nominated by the DEM
ocratic State Convention on Wednesday is one
of rare excellence. and cannot fail to commend
itself to the conservative people of the State
irrespective of party. The personnel is beyond
criticism. The strong elements entering into
its composition will become more and more APP
parent MS the campaign progresses.
Rockville Advocate.
Another feature of the convention which is
especially gratifying to the Maryland Demo-
cracy militant was the reappointment of Mr..
Vandiver as chairman of the state Committee.
The manner of the appointment was a richly
deserved compliment, but its true value is that
it assures the party of activity, wisdom and
thoroughness in the important work coming
under the chairman's direction.
Rockville Sentinel.
With such a ticket we will win. Our people
are tired and Disguised with Republican rule
and are clamOring for change. Let every
Democrat in the State do his duty and the
State will be redeemed and once more placed
under Democratic government.
Towson Democrat.
county we say that the strong ticket nominated
by the State Convention, and the strong ticket
ceive a large majority here. We bid our Dem
ocratic friends of other counties to be Of good
cheer, and work earnestly for the common
cause of redeeming our State from Republican
rule and we shall all rejoice together in the
hour of victory.
Maryland journal, Towson.
From every section of Baltimore county
comes the pleasing information of the enthu-
siasm with which the Democratic ticket is re-
ceive6 by all Democrats without exception.
There is absolutely no dissatisfaction. not even
| among defeated candidates. This augurs well
| for success But because we believe this, is no
reason to relax any of our vigilance on its be-
half. Let us make the majority larger for it
than we have ever before given for any of its
|
| now than we have ever had. Let us see that
| they get to the polls Eternal vigilance il the
price of success. The ball will be started about
| September LIST, and let us then keep it rolling.

| The Convention was remarkable for its har-
| mOny and enthusiasm. The most graceful
| feature of the whole proceedings wasthe mag
| unanimous action Of Hon. Edwin Warfield, in
nominating his successful rival for the position
| on the ticket for which he earnestly con-
| tended in the primaries only two days before
St1fNNrr na
sence of a cut and dried affair. The people had
spoken in the primaries and none dared to inter-
| fere. The ticket as nominated meets with
| unanimous ana hearty appreciation.
Queenstown News.
| The Democrats opened business in earnest
Wednesday, when they met in convention in
Baltimore and nominated the head of the ticket,
| the personnel of which, is without doubt, one
/ OF the strongest ever placed before the people
of the State, and enc that will commend itself
| to all who desire high standard in nomination.
| If such ticket, led by such gentlemen, does
4 not carry the State back to its former love,
| then we are willing to say the people are hood
| wiuked or don't want good men to represent
| them.
| Kent News, Chestertown.
| A stronger ticket would not be possible than
| that nominated in Baltimore last Wednesday.
1t will command the support of the united De-
| mocracy- The opposition can pick no flaw in

Cecil Democrat Elkton.
| Inc personal CHARACTER OF bnlS IlChet, I0e eIi-
| thusiastc manner in which it was made, and
the universal endorsement it has received,
should make its election certainty, and no
matter where the Republican choice may fall,
| the inevitable result must be Maryland's re-
turn to the Democratic fold.
Denton Journal.
| With these chieftains sure of the confidence
and esteem of the people generally, the Demo.
