THE DEMOCRACY.
The County Convention To-day,
Milton SayIer and H. B. Banning
for Congress-.

AT Brauneis' Pavilion, on Carthag'
avenue, within stones throw, al
most, OF the Geological Gar
den, the County Convention
assembled for the nomination Of candi
dates for Congress from the First ant
Second District, five Judges of the Court
of Common Pleas, Clerk of the Court
Sheriff, Coroner aud other minor Offices,
to be voted for at the tall election.
The distance from the center OF the
city to the Pavilion is not less than three
miles. Two street-car lines, an inclined
plane, and walk OF nearly half mile
Is necessary to reach the place.
When the place is reached, however
the beauty OF the surrounding, and the
ample accommodations, supplemented
with the pure air Of the country and the
conspicuous absence OF the usual ele.
ment of bummerdOm goes tar to make
amends for the discomfort in getting on
the ground.
The usual amount OF grumbling was
INDUCED In by the delegates, but the
good beer which awaited them at the bar
close by rendered their spirits as placid
as summer lake.
The pavilion proper Is beautiful
structure, say fifty feet long and thirty
wide under cover, and capable Of seat
ing several hundred persons.
1t is finished In gothic "ginger bread"
ornamentation, and being DECORATED
greens looked de ;ldedly "nIce."
