RnsconBE. The average Democrat
i. o.vsr SO happy as when he is "resolv-
h ~ something, except when in II position
.here he can get 4 taste of the public
n.n. Yet the dap doodle" pabulum
.h;cb WAS set before the Democratic
C,nvent.n last Saturday in tho form of
tbe eecond and third resolutions, ought to
have been too strong for even a Dem
ocrntjc stomach. The "unfortunate men
al tbe country" who have beef burning
railway trains, shooting citizens and de-
ivinr the law generally are not entitled to
human sympathy. When men interfere
vith the right Of other men to live and
sarr, A living honestly, they put them
eslyes out of the pale of human sympa-
Nv. And again, the idea OF saddling the
ycsuon sibity of the riots and bloodshed
n the East upon the Republican party as
One of the fruits of its legislation, is a
rem of thought of such pure water, that
i cannot be- looked upon MS having first

/ lrioas to every mind which has studied
lhe aim vf parties in the United States
chat the old Wing party and its Rcpubli-
can fuceeSsor, ever aimed to build up The
labor market and elevate the standard
and wages Of labor. IL is II wonder that,
the Convention did not denounce Presi-
dent Hayes for his interference in sending
Fsdess troops into Maryland and West
Vrginis in response to the call of the
Denocratlc Governors of those States, to
put dawn thosa riots. But that may have

The Committee reports having been
received and adopted, and nominations
for County Officers being in order, the
members of the Convention resolved to
go into caucus, that they might canvass
the claims Of the several gentlemen talk
ed of for official positions and take such
measures as they deemed would insure
the nomination of the best men. For
this purpose it was decided that the eau
Gus should not confne itself to those al
ready named, but should select from the
body Of the party those whom they
thought best qualified for the offices, and
tEen insist upon their standing the nom
ination.
For County Clerk, Sheriff, Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction aud Sur
veyor, it was unanimously agreed that
the present incumbents had given entire
satisfaction to the people of the county
and that they were deserving of tho in
dorsement of the Cor vention and re cleo

For County Treasurer, it was decided
that no nomination should be made, and
in this decision the caucus was largely
Influenced by their judgment in reference
to the Endorsements previously made, in

The Rehoboth Railroad
TO BE COMPLETED IN A FEW wrEKs--
''-' THE SURVEY, ETC. I'.
From the UeWes Light,

TO BE COMPLETED IN A FEW wrEKs--
THE SURVEY, ETC.
From the Lewes Light.
1t is now very generally understood
that the long talked of, and wished for
railroad will be completed In a few weeks
This work is undertaken by the Old Do
minion Co. which never fails in its plans
On this occasion il is enphatic-it means
business. This new road, as it is now
surveyed, will start about six hundred
feet south of the Lewes depot and run as
near bee line as possible to a point
near the farm of Mr.. A. Dodd, thence
parallel with the county road, but at
some distance from it. to the camp
ground, making the depot near the gate
at the end of the Camp Meeting Associa-
ton Grounds, and terminating at Reho-
both Bay. r,.t 1.
1t is thought this will meet the de-
mands of the public better than any 9TH
same amount of money. The distance
will be about three hundred and twenty
seven thousand feet, or 81 miles from
Lewes to the terminus on the Bay. If
this plan should be adopted by the COM
sany-Gs 1t most likely will be-the
n ack will not run down the centre OF
Rehoboth avenue, as some persons
thought, nor on the North side of the
grounds and on the bluffs in sight of the
surf, as some persons hoped. The cost
of laying the track from the present con-
templated depot-at the entrance gate
10 the middle pavilion and through Re-
hoboth avenue, is about $4,000. If the
friends of the Camp Meeting Association
desire the track to pass through their
grounds, they will be expected to raise
that amount. If they do not raise it the
road will in all probability take the
course above described. But in any case
there will be road by the next season
We rather incline to the opsnion that it
would be better for the road not to run
through the Association grounds.

outrage last Sunday. He was crossing
Mr.. Lockwoods orchard-looking for a
team to go to camp meetlng-when he
met couple of tramps. One of them
sked him for chew of tobacco, and in
getting it he jingled little silver cash he
had in his pocket. This aroused the evil
spirit of the tr" mps and they went for
Mr.. Wallace for that silver. He defend
ed himself as best he could. and one OF
the villains cut him in several places in
the arm with large knife, or dirk. Mr..

AN IMMENSE ATTENDANcE-THE SER
vICEs-BIsHoP SCOTT. ...

At an early hour, yesterday morning, the
road to Brandy y vine Summit was lined with
vehicles of all descriptions, the happy oc-
cupants OF which were bound for the camp
meeting. From all directions the stream
of vehicles continued tt pour into the camp
grounds, and before 10 o'clock every sort OF
accommodation for horses were ex hausted,
and visitors were compelled to resort to all
kinds of expedients to dispose OF their teams
until evening.
In this city, all the liveries were out Of
teams before breakfast, and scores ofdiscon-
solate young men roamed from place to
place vainly searching teams, which could
not be obtained for any price. The hacks
did thriving business, and it is estimatad
that over a thousand persons from VIII
miDeton alone visited the camp grounds
during the day. r'7
When all the arrivals pushed and crowded
into the camp grounds, the attendance was
immense, and according to reliable estimates
closely approached 5000 persons. This is
the largest attendance during one day ever
known in this camp.
The services opened at O'clock by a
love feast which Father Humphries
conducted. This was an interesting oc-
c"sion, there being a good attendance
and MANY fervent addresses. The ven
erable Bishop Scott was one of the
speakers, and 1t was expected that he
would preach during the day. He de-
clined. however, stating that he did not
feel able to make himself heard By so
great a concourse of people.
At 1890 o'clock. Rev. j. B. Mann, of
Union Church, preached an able and
impressive sermon. At 1870 o'clock an
interesting children's meeting was held
The afternoon sermon was preached by
Rev. w. +. Davis, of st. Paurs Church,
and that Of the evening by Rev. Mr.
