We extend you an invitation to visit Florida

Much of the time this season we have been
the coolest place in the States, besides a tenn

to out grow the weeds. We have crop of
oranges this year, only small one, but quite
enough to encourage the ''waiting grower. )"

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Nominee for Associate Judge.

In unanimously nominating William ID.
Thomas, Esq, of the Carroll bar, for Asso-
ciate Judge, the Democratic convention of
the Fifth Judicial Circuit, which met in this
city on Wednesday, merely ratified the voice
of the party. The vacancy upon the bench OF
the circuit occurred in Carroll and the other
counties in the circuit conceded the nominal
ton to Carroll, leaving to the Democrats Of
this county the selection Of the candidate.
The Democracy of Carroll selected Mr.
Thomas, and the delegates from Howard and
Anne Arundel joined the delegates from Car
roll and made the nomination unanimous,
and even declared for him before the Democ-
racy of Carroll spoke.
Mr.. Thomas is in his 41st year, just enter
ing the prime of life. Should he serve out
the full term of fifteen years he would still be
in his prime, capable of prompt and energetic
work, and young enough to serve almost
another full term, should the people desire
ii, before reaching the constitutional age
limit for retirement, seventy years.
Frequent changes in the Judiciary are not
desirable, and when young men, who are
capable, can be found for the bench they
should be selected. Too often have men
been elevated to the bench too late in life for
vigorous work. While it is generally sup
posed that wisdom comes with hoary locks
the physical body has become weakened and
the capacity for work lessened. The trainers
of the Constitution held this view, and pro-
vided that Judges must retire at the age OF
seventy years, unless their terms be extended
by the General Assembly, leaving 10 that body
to decide whether the judge attaining the age
limit was physically and mentally qualified for
further service. Some men are as well qnaii-
fed at seventy, and even better, than others
are at sixty, hence this license 10 the Legis-
lature to continue judges on the bench when
they reach the age limit. if their judgment
should so dictate.
Mr.. Thomas is not only just entering his
prime, but he is already lawyer OF ability
and of wide experience at the bar. de has
judicial mind, is careful aud prudent, always
conservative, and upon the bench wall be up
right and impartial In deciding questions
Of law, he will see only the law, not the lltl-
giants. Personal friendships will not bias his
judgment, neither will personal enmity, should
there be any during his term. He will ad-
minister the law fairly and impartially, with
out fear or favor We predict for him ser
vice upon the bench alike honorable and
eminent

A CARD.
To the Editor of The American The ques-
ton asked by Republicans is: who IS Mr..
Platt nominated by Senator MeComas for
State Comptroller on the Republican ticket
Why. Mr.. Plat is the Senator's klnsman by
marriage. Has he been loyal, helpful Re
publican The most prominent feature OF
his Republican career was his denunciation OF
Mr.. Master as unfit for Mayor, which was his
contribution to the Hayes campaign. What
are his attractions as a candidate and vote get
ter? About the same as the attractions OF a
North Pole iceberg when the sun, moon aud
the aurora borealis are on their vacation.
Considering the deplorable condition OF the
Republican party in this city and part OF the
State, at least Dorchester county especially,
where the chairman of the State Central Com
mittee resides. less hefty and more attrac-
tive man should have been presented to the
Republicans for their support than Mr.. Ptatt.
However, s'Love me, love my dog is SEN
timent that animates all the junior Senator's
actions, and Mr.. Platt being relative of his,
should thoroughly satisfy us and make US
humbly thankful The day for ''cutand :
dried'' nominations, however. is over for very
many years to come, God willing, with nothing
to commend them but the favor of the pre-
vailing ssboss, and decent Republicans will
resent this attempt to revive it atthe polls this
fall or sink their manhood.

Former United States Senator George f..
Edmunds, of Vermont, and leader of the
Republicans of the Senate for some years,
does not agree with the course of the McKin-
ley Administration in its imperial policy. In
a recent interview he said we have not kept
the promise to Cuba to give her freedom and
self-government, but forced upon her certain
conditions and restrictions. Mr.. Edmunds
declares that Porto Rico will be filled with
corruption and bring great danger to this
country. He also considers that the Philip
pines will be scene of corruption also.
