Couuty recognize in Hon. Adrian Posey
every requisite of capable and efficient
Jurist, and have with practical unanim-
ity, expressed desire that he become a
candidate, upon the Republican Ticket,
for Associate Judge Of the Seventh Judi
eiai Circuit.
Now Therefore Be It Resolved, That
the Republicans Of Charles County, in
Convention assembled, earnestly com
mend Hon. Adrian PUsey for the Nomi-
nation for Associate Judge o the Seventh
Judicial Circuit Of Maryland aud the
delegates from this County to the Jud :
cial Convent ion, which meets at Leon

ton.

Resolve That we pledge our deter
mined and united efforts towards accom-
plishiog the defeat Of the proposed dis
franehisiug amendment to the Constitu-
tion of our STATE, aud we call upon all
good citizens to aid us in these efforts.
We believe the proposed amendment is
IN violation of the Constitution of the
United States, the supreme law of our
land, which we are all bound to obey
and we say that the adoption of this
amendm mt would not only deprive a
large number of our citizens of the right
to vote, but would tend to perpetuate
one.man rule and one-party domination
in the affairs of our State.

cial Convention. Those named were;

to take the place of the old editice more
than hundred yeats old 1t was in
failure of the kiln burned bricks. The
bricks-many thousand-were too soft
for use and had to be thrown away. A
new frame church will now have to be
built. We deeply sympathize with
