GREENBACKERS.


The third party seem to consider our people
and city of some Importance, rs they have given
us another candidate for Congress, in the person
of our fellow neighbOr, A. E. Treadway. The
Grecnbackers in this locality remind one of q
lost needle in hay stack-hard to find.
sUsQUEHANNA BRIDGE.
The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Railroad Company are putting the finishing
touch on their handsome architectural structure
which crosses the river at this point This
bridge, which is composed almost entirely OF
iron, is the third largest in the country and was
built ut n cost of several million dollars. If the
railroad authorities will erect depot to cores
pond, we will then be satisfied.
LARGE CoRN-sTALKs.
One of our industrious citizens is cultivating
a small patch of corn, several of the stalks
measuring IA feet in height, and bearing three
and four large ears to the stalk. He proposes
exhibiting the largest ears at the agricultural
fair, and talks of competing proportionately for
the Bond prizes.
CAUGHT THE FEVER.
The Democrats of the "Point," becoming
jealous of their brethren at the Locks" are
seriously considering the idea of raising Han
cock and English pole, in the neighborhood OF
the Marine Railway.
CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION AND RATIFICATION
MEETING.
The members of the Democratic State Central
Committee for the I'd Congressional District
have selected this city as the place and October
9th as the day for the meeting of the new con-
vention to nominate candidate for Congress in
place Of DIR. Shaw resigned. Whether the con-
vention will agree to let the 1dll-bun stand or
grub up the Stump, we cannot say Cecil wants
Constable who can interpret the law. There
will be grand ratification meeting in the even
ing. Hon. Arthur P. German, Ex-Gov. Philip
+. Thomas, Hon. Robert NJ. McLane and other
distinguished orators will be present and address
the meeting. We anticipate big time, and
hope for good turnout of our friends in the
rural districts.

The Democratic State Central Committee
have adopted an unwise and most dangerous
precedent, in interfering with the nomination
of q candidate for Congress in this district,
by calling new convention to complete the
work for which the people had already elect
ed their representatives. 1t is the plain duty,
however, of every good Democrat to submit
quietly rather than do anything that might
tend to disorganize the party. The primary
meetings will take place next Saturday, Oc-
tober I'd, and the county convention ON Mon.
day, October 4th. Hon. Herman Stump, as
will appear from his card in another column,
declines to engage in the contest again, and
it is probable that Mr.. Talbot will be re-
nominated with very little opposition.

New Primaries and New convention.

The Democratic State Central Committee
met in Baltimore, last Saturday, to take ac-
ton ON the resignation of DIR. f. Il. Shaw,
recently nominated for Congress by the Dem
ocratic convention of this district, at West
minister. Mon. A. z. German, chairman,
presided, with Mr.. Jas. A. l.. Mcclure Sec
rotary. The several counties were represent
cd as follows:
Baltimore county, DR.. G. ii. Cairnes, ]. M.
Pearce, Philip A. Kroh; Carroll, Saml Cover,
VIM. p. Anderson; Cecil, John M. Miller,
Henry s. Coudon; Hartford, Henry D. Far
nandis, John Carroll Walsh, Chas H. Street,
The SIN says:
The only question raised was whether the con-
vention which adjourned sine die after the nom
nation of Dr. Shaw at Westminster could be
summoned into life again, or whether it would
be necessary to order primaries and new con-
Vention. Senator Miller, of Cecil, was clearly
fthe opinion that DR.. Shaw's resignation should
have been made to the President of the conven-
tion which nominated him, and that the con
vention could be reassembled to discharge the
function for which it had been originally called.
lie was opposed to the expense and trouble OF
fresh primaries The people had expressed their
sentiments and did not want to go over it all
again. He thought there were precedents for re-
assembling the old convention, and instanced the
case OF Anne Arundel county short while ago,
as well as that of the convention which nomina-
ted Judge Bartol in 1851 to correct an rregulari-
t.
Mr.. Farnandis and other Hrrford delegates
were in favor of q new convention. They thought
that the Westminster convention had ceased to
exist; and besides there had been so much feeling
and controversy over the nomination that the
best interests Of the Democratic party in the dis
trict demanded that the questions at issue
should 60 to the people direct, who are the only
source Of power and authority. Mr.. Farnandis
could not see how any one man or any COM
mittee with delegated authority could give sat
lsfaction In the complications surrounding this
case without submitting the issue to the DEM
ocratic voters of the second district 1t is un-
derstood that this opinion conceded with the
views of nearly all present.
The committee then adopted resolutions
accepting the resignation of DR.. Shaw and
calling for new convention, to be held at
Havre de Grace, on Wednesday, October 9th,
TO nominate candidate for Congress-
The members of the State Central Com
mittcc from each county in the district were
authorized and directed to call the primary
meetings and county conventions for the pur-
pose of electing delegates to the congression-
al convention.
Accordingly Messrs. Farnandis, Walsh and
STREET., the members of the State Central
Committee from this county, have directed
that primary meetings shall be held in the
several election districts of the county, on
Saturday, October I'd, and the county conven-
ton on Monday, October 4th.

HoNoRs FOR HARFoRD.-Harford county has
as far as heard from, two candidates for Con-
gress. M. A. E. Trcadway, the well-known
florist and member of the City Council of Havre
de Grace, was nominated last week, in quiet
way, by the Grcenbackers. Mr.. Treadway will
find that the pathway to Congress is not q flow
cry one, even though he may conciliate voters
with bouquets instead of drinks. In that event
he will make himself popular with the ladies, at
any rate, if he does not the votes of their
husbands and brothers.
The Republican convention, has unanimous
ly nominated Col. E. II. Webster, of this coun-
ty, as their candidate-so that Hartford will have
fair share of the honors of the campaign If
she gets nothing more.

The Democrats and Grecnbackers in
Maine have continued their union for the
Presidential election. The fusion ticket will
contain the names of four Greenbackers and
three Democrats Twenty of the Grcenback
members ofthe convention subsequently met
and nominated straight-out Greenback cleo
toral ticket. Nearly oil the votes it gets
will probably be from the Republican side.
The Republican district convention on
Thursday by reclamation unanimously NOM
mated Col E. H. Webster for Congress.

Card.


To the Democrats Of Hartford County,:
My FRIENDS: respectfully announce to you
that under existing circumstances | am no Ion
ger candidate for nomination for Congress.
am, Notwithstanding, profoundly grateful for
the generous and enthusiastic support already
given me, and hope l may never prove unwor-
thy of the confidence hitherto reposed in me by
the people of Hartford.
1t has been and shall continue to be my AIM
both In public and in private life, to promote
the best interests of my native county, esteem
ing her welfare above every personal consider
alton.
In the complete success of the Democratic
party at the ensuing election lies the pathway
to peace and prosperity for the entire country,
and the election of our great soldier statesmen,
General Hancock, is almost assured. But his
pledges of reunion and reform cannot be carried
out without the support of Democratic Con-
gress. The duty of Democrats is therefore plain
and unmistakable, and that duty points to u
hearty support OF the entire ticket.
Again thanking you for your marks of conf
dence, which shall always prize above every
thing else, | am,
Respectfully, your obcdicnt servant,

OUR COUNTY FAIR AND TIE SEsoUI- CEN
TENNIAL.-A native of Hartford, now living
in Baltimore, sends us communication in
which he suggests to the directors of our
county agricultural society the propriety of
postponing their fair week or two, on ac-
count of the sesqui-centennial celebration in
Baltimore, which occurs at the same time
The Baltimore celebration, he thinks, will
interfere materially with the attendance at the
Hartford fair, since many persons in the coun-
ty, to whom the fair is no novelty, would
avail themselves of the opportunity of kill
ing two birds with one stone by making
their fall purchases and seeing the grand dis
play in the city at the same time
1t would, in all probability, be better if
our county fair could be held week earlier
then the time appointed; but the date has
been fixed, and to postpone it would bring it
to period when we may expect uncomfort-
ably cool weather, and in other respects Sc
riously interfere with its success.
