The Republican County convsIsien.


The republican county committee decided
Wednesday afternoon to hold their county
convention on Tuesday. June IS, and the
caucuses to select delegates on Saturday,
June Is. The basis Of representation
will be one delegate for each township and
one for every forty votes cast at the
presidential election in 1876, and one
additional for fractions over twenty.
The ratio Of representation practically
bars the country districts from having any
controlling voice in the convention. The
same old ring that has run the republican
party here for years is still managing it
and they propose to have no meddling from
the rural districts. In the past the country
delegates have proved an obstacle in the
way of the rings plans, and several brilliant
schemes by which the country districts
we're to be debarred from interference in
the little game" have fallen through
because of the determined opposition from
that section. The ring proposes to make
no mistake this time. They have marked
out the slate. donned the war paint, and
concluded to run the whole thing on g
straight game of bluff. The Rocl
Island ring knows but too vel
the utter hopelessness Of foistins

by any fair means so they propose tt

A few years ago, when the war whoop'

the ring had full sway, they had but t

nominations were all made before the con
ventions met, and even in the caucuses.th
delegates could be named weeks before th
primaries were held.
The situation is different now however

AMERICAN PIANOS ABROAD
a a,ea6issg baltimore Firm Es-

London.
[From Baltlmore Dally (iazett,

FROM Baltimore Daily Gazette.
1t is interesting and gratifying to
note the fact that Messrs. VIM. Knabe
IL CO., one of Baltimore's leading
manufacturing firms, has been solicit
ted by great London music house to
establish an agency in that city for
the sale If their pianos throughout
Great Britain. The London firm re-
ferred to is the leading music house
of the English metropolis, Messrs.
Metzlor & Co. of Great Marlborough
street, whose establishment is familiar
to all Americans who travel abroad.
This gives to Messrs. Knabe d Co. an
agency covering all of Great Britain,
and also an outlet for their instru-
ments throughout continental Europe.
1t is, of course, unnecessary to speak
of the excellence ofthe knahe pianos;
but while they are so widely known
throughout the United States, their
reputation abroad and the demand
for them in other countries than ours,
to such an extent as to prompt the
leading London firm to purchase them
directly, is an event in the piano trade
of America worthy ofspecial mention.
Baltimore is to be congratulated up
on the enterprise Of such n wide awake
and public-spirited house as that of
knabe IL CO., through whose efforts
our manufactures have gained an en-
viablc reputation in other countries
as well as the United States. Messrs.
Metzlcr u Cos. representative visited
Baltimore few days ago and closed
the final arrangements with Mcssrs.
knabe Il CO., leaving with them large
orders and bespeaking an extensive
business in the early future. A large
shipment of grand and upright pi-
anos-the styles most desired in Eu-
ropean citics--was made during the
present week, and it is probable that
Messrs. Knabe & CO. will find it neces-
sary to increase their force of en-
ploycs to meet this extra demand, rs
their large force is now taxed to its
fullest capacity in supplying the
home trade for their instruments.

A NUMBER of our citizens are in the
habit Of giving their orders for fine
suits of clothes to tailors from Wheel
ing and other places. While every
man has the undisputed right to buy
his supplies wherever he pleases,
would it not be well to patronize oul
own tailors and merchants? A gen
tleman from Wheeling has, we learn,
taken orders this week for about $500
worth Of clothing. The profits will
amount to not less than $3.50 should
have been given to home institutions.
Where party cannot be suited by
our tailor, he can order through one
of our merchants and get clothing
cheaper than the Wheeling gentlemen
can afford to sell them. Let people
think of this and consider what a
state business would be in if every
one sent away from home to make
his purchases.
