Judge Thomas.
From the Annapolis Capital.

In selecting Associate Judge William II.
| Thomas as its nominee for Chief Judge of the
| Fifth Judicial Circuit, composed of the coun
ties of Anne Arundel, Howard and Carroll,
the Democrats of the circuit gave the merlted
| recognition to the principles which should
obtain in regard to the bench.
While a Judge is no less public servant
than any other official and it is right and
proper that he shoud be chosen other
public servants are under the American system
of government, it is becoming more and more
understood that the less of parllsanship there
may be in selecting the judiciary the better it
is for the public interests.
The trainers of the State constitution clearly
perceived the necessity ofremoving the Judicial
office from the influence of partisan politics
while enabling the people to retain that con
troll over the bench which should be exercised
by the sovereign voice; and therefore while
other State and county Offices are chosen for
short terms and frequent opportunity is af
forded the voters Of replacing or of exhibiting
confidence in them, all our judges are elected
for a term of fifteen years.
In the time he has served as an associate,
Judge Thomas has demonstrated his entire
capacity and personal fitness for the bench,
and in promoting him to the Court of Appeals
it is certain that no mistake can be made
The post of Chief Justice of this circuit is
one of great responsibility and, moreover, of
onerous labor, and the mental, moral and
physical strength of Judge Thomas. his train.
ing in judicial work and his intimate acquaint.
ance with the whole circuit assure the people
that he will be worthy successor to the line of
able and distinguished men who have preceded
him.
We believe that the voters of Anne Arundel
county and of the other counties in the circuit.
amid the distractng and purely political issues
of the campaign, will keep in mind the pecul
lar character of the judiciary and the eminent
qualifications of Judge Thomas.

Says Crothers Will Win.

Marion De Kalb Smith, of Chestertown,
ex-State comptroller of Maryland and
prominent Democratic leader, at the Bellevue.
Stratford, in Philadelphia, last night made
prediction of sweeping success for the Demo.
cratic party at the November election. He
said there was large independent Demo
cratic vote that had formerly caused the
leaders much anxiety, but that now, since the
deaths of Senator German and l. Freeman
Rasin, long boss of Baltimore, two men
whose leadership they objected to, had come
back to the ranks, forming unified party.
There is absolutely no factional strife at
the present time, he said, and this leads him
to believe that the constant recruiting of the
Republican party that has been going on for
several years will be checked. The hottest
fight in the State is for Governor between
Judge Austin L. Crothers, Democrat, and
Geo. R. Gather, Republican.
Sentiment is favorable to hejudge," says
Mr.. Smith, land he will be elected

MORROW is MARRIED.
Missouri Statesman Wed in BaIti-
more.

News comes from the west that Mr.. Robert
w. Morrow and bride (nee Stocksdale arrived
last Friday, September p, at Jefferson City,
Mo-, where they will make their future home.
Anent the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Nor
row, which was evidently surprise to the
friends of both. the following article appeared
in the Jefferson City Democrat
Col. Bob Morrow, lawyer, journalist,
poet politician and alround literatus, is mar
rried. His bride is Maryland girl, whose
maiden name was Miss Mary +. Stocksdale,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Tobias Stocksdale,
near Fnksburg, beautiful young woman.
The wedding took place on Wednesday, the
1lth instant in Baltimore.
This information was n complete surprise
to all Jefferson City, where Col. Morrow has
resided for so many years, and where his
friends are quite as numerous as the population
of the city.
When, few weeks ago, our genial bachelor
friend departed for the East on his annual
vacation, no one suspected the astute designs
which he had then long contemplated against
Il member Of that superior sex as to whose
winsome merits he had so long appeared to
be entirely oblivious, but it is now learned
that the wedding was but the climax OF
pretty romance which was begun over year
ago, when Col. Morrow visited Philadelphia
and there met the future mistress of his heart.
There are few men more talented than
Robert w. Morrow. He is an orator of con
siderably more than local fame. and his
speeches in many political campaign IN thus
county and elsewhere have charmed and III
structed thousands. He is writer Of SPLEEN
did ability, whether he essays the field of
poetry or prose, and his editorial work on
this paper is found in many polished expo
sition of the tenets of Democracy. His
scholarship is varied and profound, both in
law and in literature. and his public services
have been both various and useful. AS an
attache of the Department of state, as an
elective officer of the Missouri Legislature, and
in his present post as secretary to Judge Bur-
CESS of the Supreme Court, he has always
been highly efficient and thoroughly conscien,
tious He counts his friends by the thou,
sands. and all of them will join the Democrat
in wishing him long and happy married life
He will return to Jefferson City with his
bride i'm abOut two weeks.
