State Political Notes.

John II. Kimble of Port Deposit, who was
one of Cecil's representatives IN the last House
of Delegates. will be candidate for the Dem
ecratic nomination for Congress from the
Second Congressional district, which includes
Cecil, Hartford Carroll, Baltimore county aud
three wards of Baltimore city.
Henry NJ. McCullugh. member Of the
Elkton bar. announces that be is q candidate
for district delegate to the Republican Nation
al Convention, which meets IA Philadelphia.
He is the only one so far in Cecil county to an
nounee his eandidancy.
The Democratic State Committee Of Mary
land will meet in Baltimore on the 18th inst,
TO fix the date for the Stale Convention.
Republican county conventions of Anne
Arundel. Calvert and Prince Georges county
indorse Hon. Sydney Z. Mudd for re election.
With the near approach Of Republican pri-
mary elections in Howard county the workers
for positions and supremacy are actively on
the go. Today the primaries will be held.
II is said to be determined by the leaders 90
elect delegates favorable to James A. Gary
for delegate at large from Maryland TO the
Philadelphia convention and favorable also to
the denomination of Congressman Mudd.
Ex-S Senator George d. Day is said to be in
trusted with engineering the alliance between
Gary and Mudd, who in times past have been
at cross purposes. In Elhcott City district
lively contest is expected as the postmaster
ship of ElIeott City Is to be decided then.
The Negro Appeal says strong negro caa-
didate will be nominated for Congress in the
Fifth District, in opposition to Hon. Sydney
Mudd.
Under the head of McComas at Work, the
Baltimore Herald Of Wednesday says;
Senator McComas was here and consulted
with some of his friends, but nothing definite
was determined upon. All agreed that the
Senator was in a hole, and that it would re
quire some diplomacy to extricate him.
1t has also developed that the Eastern Shore
does not propose to be frozen out when the
delegates at-large are selected. A combiua-
ton is now being made on the other side OF
the bay which will result in the nine counties
coming TO the convention in behalf of a rep
resentative Who be will be is not yet
known. If the demand is enforced, as now
seems probable, either former Mayor Master
or General ShryOeS will be forced TO with
draw. By combining with Western Mary
land the Eastern Shoremen can beat Balti-
more CITY and Southern Maryland combined,
and this now seems to be the programme.
The Eastern Shore counties will send 81
delegates to the convention, Western Mary
land Al, and the city and Southern Maryland
combined only AZ. From this 1t will be seen
that if the rest of the State should line up
against Mudd aud Malster both might be
thrown overheard.
As representative OF Southern Maryland,
Mr.. Mudd would probably be selected, but
Mt Malster could not expect the administra
ton following on the Shore to help him. The
counties of Worcester. Wicomico, Dorchester,
Somerset, Talbot and Queen Anne's will surely
be against him should there be a fight. Bal
timors county is controlled by the Mace
Blakeney organization, which is anti Malster;
Judge Clabaugh still has the pull in Carroll
Senator Williams wishes will be observed in
Hartford, aud so in other Western Maryland
counties the organization will control.
1t may be necessary for Senator McComas
TO defeat Mr.. Malster in order to secure his
own election as national committeeman, for
should Master and Mudd combine they, with
their district delegations. would control halt
: the State delegation and prevent Senator
McComas from attaining the place he wants.
Hence the conferences that are now being
held Some very interesting developments
are expected before the State Convention
meets.
