Our Nominees.

Our Nominees.
Nothing occurred on Tuesday last to mar
the harmonious proceedings of the Democratic
Conservative Convention which assembled in
Court House, at Rockville. TWAS gratifying
TO those who dreaded some exhibition of bad
feeling growing out The heated and excited
contest through which the members of our
party had just passed that every aspirant for
nomination went away contented with the re-
sult-whcther defeated or successful. The
people Of Montgomery county have every real
son to be proud OF the candidates selected, as
they are men recognized worthy to fill their
respective positions, and we are sanguine now
that the.much needed Reform soithtm the
Party" has already commenced. Our Legs-
htiye ticket warrants the conclusion that pee
uaiion and Lobbying must cease, and that the
w-makers will be as accessible to the poor
as well as the rich The character of the en-
tire ticket, in fact tolls the death knell to the
cry ef ring, cllques, corruption and fraud =
let all support the ticket.
After the completion of the nominations,
speeches were made BY several gentlemen. And
to show to those were not present the harmony
that prevailed we annex the speech of an old,
true and tried democrat, George Peter, Esq,
who was doteatedaspirant to the Legislature:
.'At your call come 10 bow to the supreme
voice Of this Convention. Personally you
have done me a service in leaving me at home.
lido not as you might suppose, feel ehagrned
at my defeat ! have always looked to The
good of nv country first and George Peter
last | would spurn anything that would sow
dissension in the ranks of the Democratic
Conservative party. He hoped to see the day
when the Democratic party would drive The
tyrant at Washington from his seat, and check
the degradation and robbery which character
i.es his minstrat OF. Having been
nominated at the primary election, he would
haze liked to receive the support OF the Con
veniion, but would always bow to the voice
Of the people. We are in danger. Our enc
mics speak of the bad condition of our
State affairs The speaker denied il by saying
shat our taxation was reasonable, and our
State bonds upon the market are above par.
He spoke Of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal
and admonished those who were TO represent
Montgomery county in the Legislature 10 do
all in their power to foster that great work of
internal improvement.
r. He had been spoken harshly Of as Car
roll man, and now before this Convention he
declared himself an out-and ont supporter Of
Mr.. Carroll, and hoped that the delegates in
the Convention would 60 hence and battle
for him.
The news this morning from San Francisco
confirms The impression that has prevailed
from the time the failure Of the Bank of Cali
fornia was announced, via that Ralston was
a des.uler. Mr.. .. 0. Mills, at present
q Az "a
Ralston appropriated to his own use between
three and four millions of the funds of the
bank, and an extract from the San Francisco
Btilefin confirms the impression that Ralston
ased the money Of the bank for his own ends.

shows that IN reality the Mint owes the bank
$l25, 0oe.

death If be made any ontcry Notwith-
standing that an alarm was raised after the
robbers left the bank, they succeeded in get
ting away with their booty.
