This city to-day is full of democratic politictans, who have come to attend the gubernatorial | nominating convention, which meets to-morrow, The excitement is very great great among the friends of the three candidates, Willlam 1, Hamilton, James B. Groome, the present Governor, | and John Lee Qarroll. There are two other can- didates who wilireceive complimentary votes tn the Convention, Richard Grason, one of the Asso- ciate Judges Of the Court of Appeals of Marylana, and Chief Justice of the Judicial Circuit, embrac- | ing Baltimore and Harford counties, und Henry | W. Archer, @ prominent lawyer, of Hartford county. Governo: Grvome and mr, Hamilton ar- rived at Barnum's Hotel on Monday last, and are working hard for themselves. Mr. Carroll | lives in Howard county, near Ellicott City, and is also making Barnum’s Hotel bis headquarters, | Of the first three candidates mentioned itis hard | to tell woo stands first in point of ability. Hon, William J, Hamilton, who has just served nearly one term in the United States Senate, gave satis- faction as Senator and made @ few avle speecucs toward the close of his term, Governor Groowe ts @ prominent lawyer of Elkton, Cecil couuty, and | is a native of that town and county, He vas taken | an active part in politics ever since the Constitu. tionat Convention 01 1867, which turned out every republican ofllce-boilder in the State | and aliowed tne democrats to fill their places. Governor Groome has also been a memoer | of the Legisiature, and resigned his position as | 1873 aud 1874 to accept the position of goveruor, which was tendered.to bim by the Legislature after the Hou, William Pinckney Whyte had been | elected United States senator and jac resigned | his position as governor. it 18 claimed by the | iriends oi Governor Groome that his section of the State .3 ENTITLED TO THE OFFICE, because there has been no democratic Governor | from that section since tne Hon.

Tne | fends of Mr. Hamilton ciaim that he will have enough votes on tuo frst bal- lot to make one of the other candidates withdraw, but the Baltimore Gazette allows him ouly twenty-seven votes, and claims that there will be seventy-two anti-Hamiiton votes and eleven doubtful. From what i can learn so tar, the issue will finally be between Hamilton and Groome. Tue jormer is supported by the Baiti- | more and Ohio Railroad Company. In addition to governor, candidates for comptroller aud auditor- general will be nominated, FULL DELEGATIONS from nearly every county in the State have already arrived, and 1s 1s not probable there will be a vacantseat in the Convention, The threé promi- nent candidates for governor have their head- quarters at Barnum’s Hotel to-night, and the *iriends of each are present by hundreds. It 1s almost a ee to Move through the crowds filling the halls and pariors and-extending out ou the streets, There has been no such political demonetration here since the national convention that nomi- nated Horace Greeley. It will require several ballots in the Convention before ag! Proper idea ga be formed as to the nominee for governor, ithough tne friends of Hamilton say to-night tney lack only half a dozen votes to nominate him on the first ballot. Mr. Carroll's friends claim his nomination beyond doubt. The principal interest hangs on THR PLATFORM, as the nomination is equivalent to an election, the | democrats being in tremendous majority in tue State.
