MALPRACTICE CASE IN baltimore. The
Baltimore Gazette of this morning, in refer
ence to the arrest Of Dr.. i. G. Maddox for al
legged malpracticc, says:
The witnesses appeared yesterday morulng
before States Attorney Knott. Examination
failed to produce any fresh evidence criminal
ing the physician indicted by the grand jury.
The alleged victim states that she was under
the impression she had been e%nciente at one
time. but subsequently found she was mls'
taken, and had only been s~uferiog from an
Irregular condition of her system and a severe
cold, for which she was treated by The doctor
in question.
One OF the witnesses testified that she visit
ed the doctors Office in company with the girl
and saw the doctor warming an instrument Ut
the stove ia the outer room while bis patlen!
was in the consultation room. The girl herself
testified that while in conversation with the
doctor he was engaged 10 wiplog som lnstru-
meuts, the nature of which she did not know;
there was 10 fire in the consultation room, aud
he passed out into the ante-room and returned

mother testified that her daughter walked TO
the doctors Office on the day in question, and
walked home, only going to bed the following
day and remaining there for two or three days;
she knew she was suffering from a severe cold,

EDITOR SENTINEL: Pardon me for
intruding upon your generosity in ask
ing the use of your columns to make a
suggestion. Our County Convention
will soon meet to designate candidates
TOR the various county offices. also a
candidates to represent us in the next
legislature. Upon the question Of Rep
resentative, have been canvassing the
qualifications of several persons that !
think would creditably represent us.
amongst whom I frankly state it to be
my opinion that Col. r. d. MARYLAND has
equally if not superior. qualifications
for that office, and should be pleased
to hear OF his being nominated by. our
convention. His age and experience
in the law and iAtricacies of legislation,
the revision and simplification Of our
statute, to conform to the New Consti-
tuition. The interest of the State and
particularly of northwest Missouri. l
think could be safely entrusted in his
care. / feel satisfied should he be NOM
mated and elected his constituents
would never regret having intrusted
him with their interest. And notwith-
standing he has not put himself forward
rs a candidate for any position what
ever, / feel fully assured that Holt
county could not do better than by
sending him as an honorable and quail
fed man to represent Holt in the legis-
'ture. A VOTER.

DEMOCRATIC.

The Democratic County Convention.
held at Forest City on the 26th ult.,
chose the following delegates:
Congressional: r. ii. Russell. John
G. Cowan. DIR, ii. W. Wilson and John
+. Davis-4.
The delegates were instructed to vote
for Governor Woodson for Congress,
Senatorial: VIM. IL. Poynter. John
France. Fred. Meyer. Henry Shuts.
DIR. j. L. Johnstun Up an address is
said to have used the following Ian
guage:
Il am free to admit, that Mr.. Tildep
was not my first choice as candidate for
President; but as q good Democrat, il
| can not get the first or second choice.
l take the third. Yes. ] rather would
vote for the lowest Democrat, then vote
for Republican"
For this candid expression the DIR.
ought to be promoted; what does the
Press think OF this suggestionp
Elder Cartwright was positive that
Mr.. Phelps was INNOCENT of the charges
preferred against him; but then the
Elder had not read the 500 story.

FEW. EARNEST WORDS.

During almost every campaign we
hear some individuals saying of the
County Conventions: They are run
by few men," or THAT convention is
packed and many phrases of similar
import. They seem to be dissatisfied
with the manner Of conducting the con-.
ventions, and complain that there is
'.wire working" "scullduggery," &c.
Now, gentlemen, whose fault is ite

published from time to time and every
body in the county have q change to
know when it will come off. The time
of meeting is not inopportune. A
primary meeting is held in each town.

what is the usual resultP Well, when
the day of the primary convention
comes round, some are busy, some for

half dozen men meet and transact the
business and are classed wire workers
by those who stay at home and take
no part.

you have no right to complain. Why
were you not present to help manage
the business? II you have any interest
at stake. you certainly will be present.
Let lot of old traps be announced for
sale, or a circus como through the
country, and scarcely man will fail to
be there. But when your delegates are
to be chosen who will name your coun-
ty officers for the next two years, you
don't seem to have any interest in the
matter and allow. by your absence. a
few men to manipulate the convention
to suit themselves. 1t is fact appar-
ent 10 everybody that the smaller the
assembly the more easily it is manipu-

Democratic Reform.

Mr.. p v. Nasty, which would like
to be postmaster at the X Roads in
Kentucky, has the true Democratic
idea Of reform. He says speaking of
the St. Louis Convention:

that until Tamnany got possession of
the government he Good see nothin but

tain population, according to the CEN
sus of 1870, of As, $50 souls. Since that
period we have increased rapidly in
humber and wealth. and our present
population can not be less than $4,000.
In reviewing the political history Of
the district we find that although An
drew, Atchison and Nodaway have each
had the honor of furnishing the Sena-
tor-the two former repeatedly and the
latter once-Holt has never had the
honor since the district was formed,
during period of thirty years. owing
to the want of harmonious action among
our own citizens. But this time the
differences heretofore exlstlng nave
been overcome. and Holt presents q
candidate and gives him an unbroken
support.
The following gentlemen have been
chosen as delegates to the senatorial
convention:
Nodaway county: S. X. Snively,
John Ham, j. w. Morgan, w. B.

REPLI. TO MORE .9.rOF.

EDITOR SENTINEL: In your issue
Aug. 18th. appears an article from
Fairview, in which the writer, in
speaking of Sunday School concert
uses this sentence: "All went off well
except four or five which were inclined
to be noisy"
On the first reading was at loss
to know what Interpretation to give to
this language. "Ifthe writer refers to
the speeches" unused |, 81 am inclined
to agree with him. and if he is speak
ing of the singing am willing to ad-
NIT that it was noisy too" But when
read the reference to their ma" l
knew that the wrong Interpretation had
been given. and that it must be ex-
planned by supplying the word per
sons" with the words "four or five"
Ishall exercise more charity toward
the writer than to say that he was not
disturbed. yet in the defense have this
to say, the speakers anu many OF the
audience commented on the good Or
der that was kept on the occasion. to
which reference is made. Further
more, the writer should not ground
such charges on a mere supposition or
a conditional "if.n He says, eff they
were making tun OF any of the exer-
cises, &C." The only noise and distur-
bance-if such it can be called-was
little inaudable laughter caused by
some idle remarks. not about the exer-
ciscs, made by one OF the party accus-
ed. The author is entirely too sensi-
tive in thinking that we were making
fun of the exercises. He reminds one
OF the shepherd boy, who. according to
the fable, was accustomed to cry,
wolf! wolff" when no wolf was to be
seen. VINOICATOR.

WEN. PORK STATE.

The N. Y. Graphic assures the Re-
publicans of other States that they need
not by any means eoncede New York
for Tilden. The. latter was elected
Governor over Dix two years ago by
so, 600 majority. but Tilden received
rs, 900 votes of Liberals who, this year,
will support Hayes. and Dix tailed to
receive the votes OF $1,000 Republicans
who stayed at home. In 1872 the Re-
publicans cast 445.s col votes. and elect
ed Dix by over $4,000 majority. This
fall they win poll AS, 900 votes. Tilden
can not equal it.
The Holt County sentinel., 1876-09-01

The Republicans OF Holt county met
in convention ut Forest City on last
Saturday, and unanimously decided to
present the name of Adam Klippel to
the senatorial convention for nomina-
ton to the Office of State Senator. We
believe that this action of the con-
vention will meet the hearty
approval of the Republicans of
the county, and from what We have
been able to learn we believe he will
be nominated on the first ballot, and
we believe. also, that his nomination
will be equivalent to election.-Mound
