OUR STATE AND COUNTY TICKET.
We place at the head Of our columns the
Democratic State and county ticket, which
is to be voted for at the November election.
The Democratic State Convention, which
assembled at Baltimore on Thursday, after
the usual routine business and the adoption
of a platform, nominated the present in
cumbent, DIR. Joshua W. Herring, of Carroll
county, for Comptroller. The doctor is
tried and staunch Democrat and has many
times represented his county in both
branches of the Legislature, besides other
important county positions. His nomina-
ton as Comptroller for second term is a
handsome compliment as it is an endorse
ment OF the ability and fidelity with which
he has managed so important public trust
for the past two years.
Hon. J. Frank Turner, who was nomin-
atsd for Clerk Of the Court of Appeals, is
not unknown to the people of the State.
He has been prominent all his life in State
politics, at one time Comptroller, and upon
the death of the late Frank Ford was ap
pointed clerk by the Court Of Appeals to
an the vacancy. Mr.. Turner is fluent and
aggressive speaker, a cultured gentleman and
popular throughout the State.
Our county ticket, the popular expression
OF our primaries On Saturday last, appeals
to the pride and intelligence of our Demo
cratic voters. II is useless for US to speak
of the personnel of the ticket, each and
every man whose name is on the ticket is
well known in every household in the
county and enjoys the confidence and re-
spect of the voters Of the county without
regard to party. 1t will be seen, and at the
same time II is very gratifying to see, that
10 accordance with largely expressed sen.
timent some fresh blood-some strong young
and vigorous timber has been placed on the
ticket This is compliment to the younger
Democracy of the county and we think will
add much strength to the ticket, at the same
time giving very marked enthusiasm to the
rank and file.
The primary canvass was prolonged
one, and not without much personal warmth
and excitement. Now that It is over, with
our partialities and prejudices forgotten,
and reason in iull control, we believe the
party will fall into line, with every voter
determined to do his whole duty-which is
not alone his vote, but his influence,

York, forty-seyen years ago. He drifted from
| there to Louisville, KY, where he worked at
his trade for some time, being goldsmith by
| trade. From Louisville he went to White
county, Ind, where he formed acquant-
ance with Miss Caroline Krening, and they
were married on the ii of October, 1885, who
survives him. To this union were born five
children, one died in Indiana and the other
four are living in Missouri After he was mar
red he ook several sub contracts rail-
roads which were being built through the state,
and several contracts on bitches that were be-
ing cut by the state of Indiana. He finally set
tied down on a farm in White county and
manned on it until September 1876 when he
traded his farm in Indiana for one in Bates
county, near Prairie City He arrived in Mis-
souri, Sept -, 1876 and settled on the farm he
previously traded for, where he lived until he
moved TO Rockville about the 1st of March,
1901. He was a man of simple habits, and the
embodiment of energy and economy, he was
which had enabled him to lay by enough of this
worlds goods TO have kept him and his wife for
many years, but an insidous enemy, lagrippe
laid hold of his rugged constitution. and before
he really thought he was sick enough TO take
medicine, il had secured such a hold upon him
that ii was impossible for medical skill TO do
him any good. He was at first member Of the
Lutheran church, but by some means the writ
ings OF Sweedenborg fell into his hands, which
changed his views in regard to religious belief,
and he expressed himself to the writer as being
willing to abide by that faith.
He served the south District county judge
for six years being elected frst in the year 1885,
reelected in 1890, and elected again in 1892.
When the Bank OF Rockville was organized in
1890, he took stock in that institution and was
made director of the bank, after serving for
years in this capacity he was elected president
of that institution which Office he filled with
credit and held until he died. ID.
