ner, of Washington county. q leader OF the
Hamilton party, openly charged that brides

another had been offered To two delegates TO

Mr.. Fenton, Carroll delegate, saving a
baltimore city delegate had been offered a
bride in money 10 vote for Hamilton. which
was spurned by the delegate. No one sup-
posed this bride was offered with the knowl-
edge OF Mr.. Hamilton, nor was any candi-
GATE or his advocate responsible for what
was done by outsiders. At times the greatest
confusion prevailed, and the discussion
became so excited that Hon. John Ritchie
the recognized leader OF Hamilton's friends
threatened TO withdraw from the convention

this sitting At 430 q. IN. Hon. stevenson
