TROUBLES OF LOCAL DEM
OCRATS NOT LESSENED
Mr.. RamiII Threatened to Fly OF al
Tangent.

The Baltimore American of last Sat
urday contained the following interest
ing bit of political news:
Troubles for the Democrats in several
counties were echoed yesterday at the
meeting of the New Democratic State
Central Committee, which met at the
Eutaw House on Thursday.
These troubles were threshed over
yesterday by Democrats who fingered
in the city after the meeting of the
state committee. They found but little
to solace them in the situation in sew
eral counties. Garrett county seemed
to be The storm center of Democratic
apprehensiOns. This was a safe and
sure Democratic county in years gone
by, but during the last quarter of a cen
fury there has been an Influx of people
into the county who have developed its
resources and who in their labors have
been greatly aided by the Republican
tariff. The result has been that the
county, approaching the benefits of Re-
publican principles, has switched to a
safe Republican county. In this switch
ing the Republicans have been aided,
especially during the current year, by
fractional fights among the Democrats.
The Democratic situation has not
been improved by the appointment of
Mr.. Moses r. Hamill as the third mem
Der Of the state central committee Of
the county. This appointment was
made by Chairman Murray Vandiver,
of the state central committee, in con-
formity with the recommendation of the
committee on credentials of the recent
state convention.
The appointment of Mr.. Hamill has
created an awful rumpus in Democratic
politics in Garrett county. MIR. G.
Semmes Hamill, Jr, does not hesitate
to say that he will not stand for the APP
pointment, which places the Browning
faction in control in the county.
Hence more lively and interesting
times in Garrett.
Mr.. q. Semmes Hamill. Jr.. favored
the appointment of Mr.. Porter, a cousin
of Governor Crothers, as the third
member of the committee, but in this
recommendation he was left in the cold
Mr.. Moses r. Hamill, who has been
appointed by General Vandiver as the
third member of the county committee,
Is progressive and is an ex-member
Of the School Board and one of the
strongest supporters of the Browning
faction in the county. This gives the
Brownings control of the regular party
organization. This faction is in full
accord with the state organization in
all interests affecting the policy Of the
party. They now state they will pro-
coed to nominate regular Democratic
ticket according to the primary call, as
applications have been filed by candi-
dates for delegates to the convention in
nine Of the fourteen districts of the
county.
