The TribulatIOus Ofthe Court House
Democracy


Tho harmonious Democracy of this
county who undertook to hold a Conyen'
TT ton Yesterday had pretty high old time
OS i The Convention was called 10
Uomina,e legislative ticket, but there
10, ,pcb a diversity Of opinion and pur'
Dose that this was not done. 1t was
sn.lIy determined to Try again next
Monday Primaries are to be held next ~
saturday and then Monday an effort will
be made to nominate a full ticket Two
townships, Liberty und Webster, refused
TO vote on this question; and there was a
good deal Of angry recriminstion. One
Of the delegates warned the Convention
that il they did not harnonize' lhey
could not possibly get possession oi inc
Sheriff 8 office; and the opinion was iree'
" expressed among outsiders that "DIcK
Brown would be the next Sheriff"
The trouble with our Democratic
friends in this county is two.iold: First,
there are not offices enough in the county
10 go round; and, second, some OF the best
ones don't go round at all. The center of
attack is, Of course, the SherilF's office;
but the people Of this county have about
made up their minds 10 vote for the best
men for local offices without regard to the
dictatiOn or gag of King Caucus; and we
fully agree with the opinions expressed
Yesterday in the court house, that a ma
Iority Of them will choose to vote for Mr..
BROwE, not because he belongs to this
party or that, but because he is a capable
and deserving man. The movement for
a convention to make a new constitution
received its first and strongest impulse in
this city, the motive being to throw MIR.
BROwN out before he had served fourth
Of the term TO which he had been
elected, so that some other parties could
have another chance at the Sheriff's
office. The indications are clear that they
will be disappointed after all. Hundreds
who did not vote Tor Mr.. Brown before
will vote for him now as q matter of sim.
pie Justice, and his majority will be much
larger than before.
Another thing that gives the managers
some trouble is the legislative ticket.
There is a special anxiety in the Courier.
Rg,ter ring about the composition Of the
next Legislature, and a great effort will
be made by that faction TO folst their men
here on the Convention. Great as his
snHiety is, however it is not deemed like.
ly the editor Of the Register will repeat
the little game OF writing letters in the
name Of obnoxious candidates withdraw
ing them from candidacy before the Con-
VentIOn, Some other device will have 10
OeresOrted TO this time.

CINCINNATI, June 24.-It having been
erroneously reported in the newspapers
that the recent international Convention
Of the Young Mems Christian Associa.
tion, held in Lowell, had adopted resolu-
tions making total abstinence test Of
membership, declaring the use Of tobacco
inconsistent with q christian character
and pledging the associations to resist the
exclusion Of the bible from the public
schools, and to make special efforts to
place the bible in every Roman Catholic
family, H. Thone Miller, President Of the
Convention, will tomorrow appear in q
card declaring that no such action was
taken by the Convention. Such resolu-
tons were introduced but they were not
adopted. The general miSapprehension
Of the facts Is placing the Y. N. O. A. Of
the country in very false position, and
President Miller desires, as far as possible,
to present their work properly before the
country,

The opinion Of many "trooly loil" people upon
the political relations Of "rebels since the re

"rebels" in general, giving no similar signs OF

THE ELECTION.
DELAWARE VOTES FOR GRANT

Mr. Wright, the Democratic candi-
date Tor Congressman Defeat
Lofland-Radicai,
aE Elected.

The election in Delaware has disappointed all
calculations made by the Democrats, as Ii has uone
in most other States.
Delaware has heretofore nobly stood up against
th> powsr at Washington, and 1t was hoped tha'
she would still stani firmly by her former Demo-
CRITIC record. In this we fear that we are 10 ee
sadly mistaken.
liz this city the Radical vote On the Levy oou''
ticket is 1904, and tha. of the Democratic --eu'
showing majority against the Democrats oil -
The returns from the county, from present ~
pearances will reduce this majority very htte' moi
mole than twenty or thirty; it may increase H.
Our dispatches from Kent county give m'he m
Democrats in that old Democratic strong hoiu "oo
majority, which OF course elects every canaid"'e
on the ticket.
In Sussex county the vote is said to be closer
between the two parties; but our adylces aie 'hs'
the Democrats have carried it, thus securing the
Legislature.
A later dispatch from Georgetown puts the
Democratic majority in Sussex county at oue Nun
dred. This defeats Mr.. Wright, the Democratic
candidate. and elects Mr.. Loaand by about Ia
majority.
E,s hoped that this may secure to the people ol
our commonwealth a continuance OF the pabie
schools, and preven. the State being run mo l.
inous extravaganza.

The elder girls of the Portland; Me-, High
School, have started very sensible reform in
dress. The movement was entirely spontaneous
on their part and is certainly worthy ofimitaiion.
They have drawn up set Of resolutions, which
they are circulating for signatures. The object
is TO introduce general plainness of dress for
school, and also ~ do away with the usual full
dress parade Of examination day. the dress for
that day being the same az an ordinary dress.
The style Of the dress is TO be plain, becoming
and convenient; if any color, to be relieved by
gold plated buttons and fenoy belt, having upon
the buckle the date Of graduation, like that upon
the boys caps. Jewelry is to be limited, and
lace and such like ornaments strictly prohibi-
