The Situation in Baltimore.

Editor Sentinel Those who are in posi-
ton to obtain an accurate knowledge OF the
political condition OF Baltimore say with
much emphasis that the condition of the
Democratic party in the city is much sound
er and more favorable for complete VIC
tory In November than It has been Tor some
years. With some few exceptions, the lead
ers are in the most perfect harmony and are
energetic in the work before them Even
those who are not at this time In full sym
pathy and concert with those at the front,
can hardly afford to make or take any de-
cided action against the regularly nominated
ticket, as 1t has been announced that men
of character, ability and experience, men
who hold the confidence Of the people, who
are personally interested In all that apper-
tains to the material development of the
State and city interest and who cannot be
swayed or controlled to do otherwise, will
be selected for the numerous important po
sitlons to be filed The several committees
are down to rock bottom work and will con
tinue at such until the last gun is fired
Elk Governor Frank Brown, who is pow
er, has recently returned from Europe, and
boldly proclaims that whilst he and others
have suggestions to make on the formation
of the ticket, yet when the ticket is formu
lated all must "Rally Around the Flag
the right spirit for any Democrat TO mani
fest. Hon. Edwin Wartield, who made a
spirited and gallant fight for the nomination
for Governor two years ago, is equally pro
nounced in his support and views, and no
one probably in Baltimore has larger pop
ularity and influence with the great business
and commercial interests of the city than
this vigilant and active Democrat and bust.
ness man.
So it runs with the larger element OF the
substantial business men OF this great com
mercial city, and if the managers are careful
in the formation of their ticket there will be
an upheava of popular sentiment in its
support.
The above may be supplemented with the
assertion that at Democratic headquarters 1t
is all work. Gen. Vandiver is a man of un-
firing energy, large and long experience
He knows how, when aud where TO strike,
and it is a blow every time from the Shout
der.
