Democratic Town Convention.

 Election of Delegates to the Congressfon-
 al Conventfon-Instruct to Vote for
 Judge Phelps.
 The Democratic town convention to elect delegates to the Congressional convention, to be held in Middletown on August 18th, was held in room z, Register building, last even- ing. The convention was called to order by Truman s. Foote, chairman of the town com mittee, and on motion J. D. Plunkett was elected chairman and William J. Mills sec- retary.
 After the convention had been duly organ ized and the committee on credentials had reported E. M. Graves introduced resolu- tion instructing the delegates to vote for Judge Phelps as the candidate for Congress first, last and all the time.
 This resolution brought James T. Mullen to his feet, who said he had come to the con- vention instructed to vote for delegates who were pledged to support Hon. Levi $. Bradley. While unfortunate circumstances would make his instructions of no avail, yet he thought it unwise to hamper the delegates with instructions. He thought there were Democrats in New Haven quite as competent to fill the position as Judge Phelps and for this reason he favored the sending of an un- pledged delegation.
 Max Thalheimer favored the resolution, be- cause, he said, the delegates elected to this convention at the primaries were in most cases instructed to vote for delegates who were in favor of Phelps.
 Mr. Graves resolution passed with two dis senting votes.
 This agony over, it was moved to proceed to an informal ballot for first delegate to the convention The ballot resulted as follows =. Whole number of votes. -39 Necessary to choice. 20
 Edward M. Graves --.-----.-.2o
 Edward Mccarthy y-.--..-...-.---.--....-..9
 William Parsons. s......-.-.-..--..-..---.-.
 Augustus c. Wilcox.
 Michael McGovern- rn--...--...-...-.......-.-
 On motion the informal ballot was made a formal one, and MT. Graves was declared the unanimous nominee of the convention for first delegate.
 On the ballot for second delegate forty three votes were cast and it was known that then. ..there were two delegates absent Charges of "stufing' the box were made Max Thalheimer had a majority of the votes, but Edward Mccarthy and MT. PIunkett thought another ballot should be taken in the interest of fair play and it was so ordered Thalheimer again received majority of the votes cast and was declared elected.
 For third delegate five ballots were taken before a choice was made. On the fifth Der nard McManus received a majority of the votes and was declared elected.
 For the fourth delegate there was another struggle for the honor of being delegate, and not until the third ballot was there any choice. Then it appeared that Augustus c. Wilcox had received a majority of the votes, and he was declared elected.
 This completed the business and the con- vention adjourned.

AMERICANS will have no reason to
complain Of slow markets abroad for
the great harvests we have every rea-
son to expect this year. Reports
are continually being cent across the
Atlantic that the partial success of
crops in Europe will cause small de-
mands for cur surplus grain to be ex-
ported. The truth of the matter,
however, is that the g~ranaries of the
old world are nearly or quito empty,
and it will require a succession of
bountiful harvests with which to re-
stock these depleted stores, and in the
meantime we are bound to have good
markets. The predictions of low
prices for grain are yet to be verified,
but still the outlook is, that what is
lost in low prices will be made up in
increased quantities, which will pre-
serve the balance of prosperity.

The railway monopolies of the west
are being forced into a species of sui
cidal competition in consequence of
the increased immigration to this
country. As we have frequently
stated, the immigrants who are now
pouring into the country, are of the
bstter class, and come bringing with
them the mans for at once engaging in
agricultural and other pursuits. Of
this great number, many are
Germans and are of the class
who have made such demands
that Bismarck has been forced to
promise cheaper railway transporta-
ton in the German empire, and has
already appointed a commission to
consider the question. All of these
are the bitter opponents of monopo-
lies, and as soon as they are entitled
to suffrage will poll their strength
with the largely increasing army of
anti'monopclists. In their anxiety to
populate the acres along the line of
their roads the great railway corpora.
tions are bidding high for these new
settlers. The consequence will be
that In a few years those of other ma
tionalities than the Germans will be
prepared to out-yote the hirelings of
the monopolies, and will insist on eau
nous fair Legislation and its enforce.

SIDNEY, May 90, 1SSO.-Situated
as we are, SO close to the border, where
all sorts and conditions of men con.
gregate, an Quitting point to the
mines, lacking most of the moral re.
straints and c~iviiizing influences at
tendant upon those who live in older
and more densely populated commu.
mites, where shooting ARRAYS are more
frequent aud less shocking tothe pub
lie, we expect by reason of our posi-
ton to the frontier, by reason of the
many undoubtedly hard characters
who are transient here, and for whose
conduct the settlers and good citizens
are in nowlse responsible, we expect
to see garbled aud incorrect accounts
of difficulties among them. We are
hardly prepared, however, to read
such an outrageous %perversion as the
article in the Herald of the 26th inst.
relative to the shooting ARRAY here on
the morning of the Oath. There is not
a vestage of truth in it, from beginning
to end, and what a horrible failure
the would-be eulogist of the murderer
Smith makes when he turns him into
a traitor, not only of the United
States, but of the confederacy, too.
We are of the opinion that it will re
suit most disastrously for Smith when
his past life is compared with that of
Patsey Walters. Walters has been a
resident here for four years last past,
and at the time of being shot was in
the employ of U. McCarty as bar.ten-
der. He vas Familiarity known here
