Large Gathering of Democrats.

The meeting of the Democratic State
Central Committee in Baltimore on Thurs
day of last week, brought together the
largest number of prominent Democrats,
in addition to the members Of the commit
tee, that has assembled on similar occa-
sion for many years.
The rooms of Democratic headquarters,
and the corridors of the Eutaw house we're
filled with enthusiastic Democrats. All
shades of party men were there, from the
strongest organization man, to the Demo-
crat of the pronounced Independent pro-
clivities. And all seemed inspired by a
single purpose, and that to insure in our
State continuation of Democratic admin
;stration and to secure a safe Democratic
majority in the coming legislature. 1t was
truly genuine lovefeast. The action Of
the committee in fixing the dates for State
and judicial conventions was satisfactory
Our Republican friends were somewhat
disappointed at the harmony which pre-
vailed in Democratic councils, as some diff
ference of opinion had been expressed
preyious to the meeting of the State Cen
trail Committee, in reference to the date
for the State Convention. But every one
had his say, and the action in fixing the
dates was considered wise and proper.
A number of prominent names were IN
cidentally mentioned for the gubernatorlal
nomination, by persons who were In the
meeting. But Democratic sentiment does
not vet seem to have crystalized about any
particular individual. 1t would be well
for Democrats of the State to think over
this matter between this and the date OF
the State Convention, so that when that
body assemblies the choice of the rank and
file of the party will be sufficiently under
stood.
There is a strong desire at present, upon
the part of the leaders of the Democratic
party, that all nominations, both OF the
State and the counties, shall as far as pos
sible reflect the sentiment of the people,
and it is hoped that Democrats everywhere
in the State will take part in the campaign
and express themselves freel y in regard to
the choice of candidates.
The man who takes proper view of
political office ought to feel when noml-
mated, that he is the real choice of his party
for the particular office for which he has
been named
There appears to be growing interest
among Democrats, in party affairs and IN
party management. And this Is right.
In this country the people constitute the
repository of power, and no citizen has
right to excuse himself from taking part in
that which is to promote the interests of
the party to which he belongs.
The prospects before the Democratic
party in the State are all that could be de-
sired The party is united and harmonious,
and if suitable persons are put upon the
State ticket, as they will be, the State will
certainly be carried by handsome major
ity, and the people will be assured of con-
tinued good, conservative administration of
State affairs.
