loud aside, sit wasn't a square DEAL" The
chairman, with great dignity ruled them out CT
order. Goodwin moved to reconsider the vote
but was promptly sat down upon by the chair
man, who ordered the vote for the Cumberland
delegate. For this position there we've two
candidates, Roswell M. Richardson of this city,
and w. r. Field of Brunswick, Col. Bradbury
having withdrawn his own and MI Ingraham's
name. The ballot resulted in 125 votes for
Richardson, and 81 for Field. AS the chairman
had implored every delegate to vote the ballot
was doubtless fair one. AS soon as it was
announced Goodwin rose to his feet amid con-
siderable confusion and renewed his motion for
reconsideration. He was supported by Spin
ney, who argued that there were not $50 dele
gates present, some of the delegations which
figured in the report of credentials not being
full. He knew that the counting committee
had thrown away one bunch of twenty ballots,
and that was conclusive evidence of fraud. AT
this stage of the proceedings delegate jump

troubled waters, and blandly suggested to the
convention that there could be no. fraud, for
Democrats can do no wrong. His audience,
however, didn't seem quite satisfied with his
reasoning. One delegate, who casually men,
toned that the Cromwellians ought to submit
because the other man had clear majority
and the voice of the people was the voice of
God, was snapped up by another member, who
remarked that he never "sensed' until now the
meaning of the expression, 'God moves in
mysterious ways" The discussion was drawn
to a close by Capt. j. r. Pike, one of the b'hoys
from Biddeford, who argued that It was un-
Democratic to confess to being in the wrong.
Finally the question was put, many of the del
egates having withdrawn in disgust, and the
motion to reconsider was defeated Then the
nomination of Mr.. Shaw was made unanimous.
W. A. Cromwell and w. r. Field were chosen
as alternates. two resolutions, one re-atfirming
the state PLATFORM the other instructiDg the
delegates to vote for Tilden, were adopted, aud
the convention adjourned, satisfied that it had
shown its unfatering devotion to the principles
and practices of the Democracy.

DEMOCRATIC DISTRICT CONvEy-
TION.
Up to Their Old Tricks.

The Democrats of the First District met in
convention at Reception Hall yesterday, to
choose delegates to their National Convention
at st. Louis On assembling they were in
decidedly languid mood, but before the conven-
ton adjourned got sufficiently heated. The
Cumberland rings exhausted by their fight
the State Convention, did not feel like going
nto fresh conflict, and so patched up a hol-
low truce. But weeks and months of squab-
bling do not weary the factions of York, aud
they are ready to square'off at each other any
time, aud before the convention proceeded to
ballot they got their blood up and went in for
for an old fashioned York hair-pull. The Port
land aspirants all withdrew in favor of Roswell
NJ. Richardson, but York presented two men
who were anxious to make a pilgrimage to the
banks of the Mississippi Timothy Shaw of
Biddeford, and William A. Cromwell of Ber-
wick, politician who has been so loose in his
party tiesi that he has earned the sobriquet
'Wandering Willie" Shaw was apparently
the choice of majority of the York men, and
Cromwelps hackers relied on aid from Cumber.

DR.. SCHENCK's PULMoNIo SYRUP, SEA WEED
TONIC AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con-
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public. They are compounded of vegeta-
BILE ingredients, and contain nothing which can be
injurious to the human constitution. Other rene
dies advertised as cures for Consumption probably
contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug
in all cases, and if taken freely by consumptive pa
tents it must do great injury for its tendency is to
course, must make cure impossible. Schenck's
Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to contain parti-
Gle of opium. 1t is composed of powerful but harm
less herbs which act on the lungs, liver, stomach,
and blood and thus correct all morbid secretions
and expel all the diseased matter from the body.
These are the only means by which Consumption can
be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea
Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medi-
cnes which operate in this way it is obvious they
are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consump-
ton. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is ac-
companied by full directions DR.. Schenck is pro
fessonaly at his principal office, corner Sixth and
Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday where all
letters for advice must be addressed.

AN INTERRUPTIoN.-"Mo who travels
ABOUT the streets evenings, gravely remarked
yesterday that the transition from the ecstatic
to the practical is dreadfully sudden sometimes.
She was on the home side of the gate. He was
on the street side and remarked in tones tremu-
lous with the ecstasy fof love: "My own
precious darling, one fond kiss before we part"
AT this interesting moment sharp voice from
an upper window broke the stiffness of the
hour with words like the following: Fanny
