diminished by the swords of the Sat-

One of our Democratic exchanges
says: 1.-THE Republican Convention
at Rockville made short work of
their business and nominated Mil
ton G. Urner of Frederick, as their
candidate for Congress on the second
ballot. Mr.. Urner is about forty
years of age. a lawyer by profession
and a native of Frederick county.
He was a candidate upon the Hayes
electoral ticket in 1876, and was once
elected States Attorney for Freder-
ick county, 1t is conceded that he
is strong candidate"
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-09-21

The result was read and the chair
decided that there had been no
choice. Before a second ballot was
had Mr.. MOtter, of Frederick, took
the floor and urged, in strong
speech, the claims of Mr.. Urner to
the nomination, asserting that the
Republicans had long been hewers
of wood and drawers of water ; had
on the last occasion nominated the
Congressman, and had then and al
ways rolled up handsome majorities
for the ticket. He was greeted with
applause.
Mr.. Smith moved that Mr.. Urner
be nominated by reclamation. De-
clared out of order by the chair.
Mr.. Stabler again addressed the
convention in favor of Mr.. Miller,
and Mr.. Darby made few pointed
remarks commenting on the fitness
of either of the nominees and assur
ing the convention that, whOever
might be nominated, Washington
county would roll 40 her usul strong
Republican majority. Loud ap-
plaIse.)
The second ballot was then had as
follows:

URNER FOR CONGRESS.
The Republican Nominating COnven-
ventiOn at Rockville.

Hon. Milton G. Urner, of Freder-
lex, was yesterday nominated by
the Rockville convention as the Re-
publican standard. bearer in the conf
ing campaign.
Quite number of delegates arriv-
ed in Rockville Wednesday evening,
and found the hotels crowded with
visitors to the agricultural fair, yes
terday having been the "big day."
The early morning trains brought
the rest of the delegates, and when
the convention opened every dele
gate was on hand save one, and he
was represented by proxy. Few
political gatherings have attracted so
many newspapers reporters, there
having been no less than nine pres
ent-one each from the Baltimore
American, Sun and Gazette, the Fred
erlck Examiner and Times, the Ha-
gerstown Guard, the two local pa
pers, and the Cumberland Daily
NelOS.
At 10 o'clock a. IN. the delegates
assembled in caucus and spent over
two hours in arranging plans for the
conduct of the convention.
The convention met in the court
room of the courthouse at 1855 p.
m. The hour set for the meeting was
twelve o'clock noon, but the caucus
occupied the time till the hour named
above.

Our Candidate.

The delegates from the counties
composing the Sixth District, who
met in Convention at Rockville on
the 18th instant, did themselves and
the District honor in the nomination
they made on that day.
Presented to the convention by
cold Frederick's" united voice and
CARROTS solid support, on the second
ballot Mr.. Urner received the unani-
nous vote Of the convention. 1t IS
known that he very reluctantly con
sented to the use of his name and
only consented to serve upon what
seemed the imperative demand OF
not only Frederick county, but the
entire district. Born and reared in
Frederick he has so borne himself as
to thoroughly unite his party in his
support and promises to make seri'
Gus inroads upon the Democratic
vote, be their candidate whom he
may. He has had an extensive prac
tice at the bar, and such has been his
high character that the public voice
has for some time designated him as
the proper and r!ghtful successor tt
any vacancy that might occur on the
Bench in the District.
For the honor of our District ant
the incoming Congress we are glaC
that he has been compelled to defer
to the wishes of his fellow citizen.
and accept service on field of broad
er influence and honor.
Mixed in none of the factiona
strifes of his own or any other party
he has kept on the even tenor of hi
career gathering to himself the re
spect and confidence of the public
and he comes before his district nov
without a Flemish or scar upon hi
public, professional or private char
acter.
The happy effect of his nomination
is already seen in the confidence anC
qualification with which his nomina
ton has been received. All hand
are preparing for a vigorous, thor
ough and successful canvass. Fred

She claims the honor of having Civ

his prompt nomination, and by he

placed.

The Frederick Union, bold anti
ring Democratic paper, is waging war
against the Ring Masters and Lobby
lists in this State, and very truthfully
says; "The public feeling through
out the country among honest mon

of the Nation, and will soon be
whistled off the stage Of action, with
an avalanche of contempt"

Mr.. George Peter, of Montgomery
county, the Democratic Canal Ring
candidate for Congress in this dis
trict, was nominated on the first bal
lot, at Rockville on Wednesday. Six
blank ballots were cast.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-09-21

Before the result was announced,
by the secretaries Mr.. Stabler of
Montgomery moved to make the
nomination unanimous, saying as he
did so, 81 will go to my people and
tell them of this action, sure of their
approval, and as we go solidly for
every candidate SO will we for the
nominee of this convention" Loud
cheers.
Mr.. Little. of Allegany, addressed
the convention, saying that he was
sorry to say that words had gone
around about DR.. Porter, the first
choice of the majority of Allegany's
delegation. This should not have
been, as DIR. Porter was as pure from
the custom-house ring asany man in
the State. The speaker was proud
that Frederick county had secured
the candidate, and assured the as
semblage that DR.. Porter and his
friends would give him their unquali-
fed support.
Loud calls were made for Mr.. OAR
by, and that gentleman made short
speech eulogizing the candidate and
predicting for him triumphant
majority. Calls for "Hallowell"
were made, and Mr.. Henry G. Halo
well "a prominent and much respected
citizen of Rockville, made short
but eloquent and forcible speech en-
dorsing the action of the convention
and counseling unity and adherence
to the grand first principles of the
Republican party. The speaker was
enthusiastically applauded.
On motion of Mr.. Stabler COM
mittee of one member of each county
delegation, including, on motion of
Mr.. Smith, of Frederick, the chair
man of the convention, was appoint
ed to notify Mr.. ITrner of his nomina-
ton. The committee is as follows {:
Allegany, James Little; Frederick,
Upton Buhrman Garrett, Austin
Speicher Montgomery, Arthur
Stabler; Washington, John W..
Cable.
On motion of Mr.. Brace thanks
were returned the Montgomery coun-
ty delegation for courtesies extended
the other delegates. Mr.. Stabler made
acknowledgment for his delegation,
gracefully disclaiming any credit for
their action.
The convention then, at 800 p, M,
adjourned with three heavy, hearty
cheers for Hon. Milton G. Urner, the
representative of the Sixth district
in the next Congress.

The hours grew late, and MIR.
Brand paced his chamber in moody
silence. The train had come in, but
his messenger had not returned, and
the merchant was troubled.
Having heard rumors concerning a
house with which he had extensive
dealings, the merchant had dispatched
Lake to London. telling him to
make inquiries, and, in any case, to
get the partners of the firm in ques-
ton to settle their account.

his return passed, and still he did not

"But, papa, something may have

Nothing should detain man who

The fair pleader was silenced-her

would have staked her life on his
