PUT UP TO BE BEATEN.
The Democrats Nominate Their County
Ticket and Pass Resolutions.

The Democratic county convention, which
was held at English's Opera-house last Satur
day, was slow in getting TO work, and brief in its
proceedings, L. P. Harlan, chairman of the
county committee, called the convention to order,
and, on the motion of Alderman Bernhaner w.
D. Bynum, Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, was elected president. In assuming the
duties of the position, he addressed the conven-
ton for fifteen or twenty minutes, devoting
almost the whole of his speech
to replying to the address of
John B. Elan to the Republican county conven-
ton H. S. Bigham, Charles Tyler, John l..
f. Steeg and Charles Cooper were elected secre-
taries. A contested delegation from the Fourth
ward made the appointment of committee on
credentials necessary The chairman of the
contrasting delegation was slow to submit to the
decision of the committee and cried out, upon
the president Of the convention requesting them
to vacate their seats: 1--WE are giving up our
seats to Republicans"
A committee on resolutions consisting of G.
W. Geiger, Dr. Metcalf, Judge Buskirk, Frank
Ryan, Levi Ayers, Jesse Avery and Simeon Coy,
was appointed, and shortly afterward reported
resolutions declaring that the Democracy of Ma

the Offices of the county treasurer and township
assessor; and that they opposed to the repeal
of the present laws limiting the power of NUM-
cipal corporations to levy and collect taxes. The
Metropolitan Police law was Endorsed. The nom
ination of the legislative ticket was postponed to
the second Saturday in August.
Colonel j. B. Maynard of the Sen
tinel, who occupied a seat on the
stage, was called out, and made brief speech
expressing sanguine hope that the ticket nom
mated by the convention would be elected.
A spontaneous cry for Hendricks broke out
all over the house and continued until the favor
tie son" was called c1t from an obscure corner on
the rear of the stage by the chairman When
he came forward the entire convention arose
and he was received with demonstration
of the greatest enthusiasm. He spoke briefly
merely saying that having attended the primary
in his precinct the previous evening he had wit
messed there such earnestness and enthusiasm
that he was quite sure convention of such del
egates as he saw before him would make no
mistakes in transacting the business committed
to them
George Carter was nominated for sheriff and
the name of r. C. Arnold. of the seventh ward
was also proposed, but he declined to become a
candidate Carter was then nominated by ac-
clamation.
Hiram Miller, of Wayne township, was pro
posed as the candidate for county treasurer,
and he also was nominated by acclamation.
The nomination for coroner was contested by
six candidates, namely, Doctors j. r. Feather

GERMAN In FIVE WEEKS,
Professor Haupt's Method as now Taught at
the New Plymouth Church.

On Saturday afternoon a Journal reporter
attended one of Prof. A. P. Haupts lectures at
the New Plymouth Church. The professor is
about beginning five weeks course in the
German language, and on this occasion exem-
plified his method of instruction. By hismethod
the study of German is not made drudgery,
but pastime, and the learner can never tire
during the rectations He shows that the
English language has about 1000 words of
German origin, and that in learning the
language this is no inconsiderable beginning.
From his first lesson during the entire course,
no English will be spoken aud by his method
he says-and the claim is reasouable-an Amer
lean canlearn as much German in this country
in five weeks one usually learns in Germany
in two three years To all intents and
purposes, while the learner is with the professor
he is in Germany, and beginning with familiar
objects and easy forms of construction he is
led on, until in five weeks he is able to read,
write and speak German so as to be able to
conduct business in any vocation in that tongue
He says one can by his method learn to talk
German as well as Bayard Taylor, who it will be
remembered, made speeches in that language in
Berlin. All the books necessary, five are used
during the course are furnished by the pro
fessor without extra charge, and become the
property of the student.

WHY Cen. Carnahan Withdrew.

The name of Gen. James r. Carnahan was
suggested for the craftsmanship of the Repub
ican county central committee, but when the
matter was brought to the attention of Governor
Porter, that gentleman thought it would not do
for the Adjutant- general of the State to accept
the headship of partisan political committee.
It might be that the executive department of
the State would be called upon, at some time, to
aid the peace authorities in the maintenance of
public order, in which event the authority must
be exerted through the Adjutant general, and
it would not do, in such an event, for that off
cial to be occupying the place proposed for Gen.
Carnahan. Concurring in this view of the Gov
ernors, Gen. Carnahan declined to allow his
name to be considered.

A DEMAND FOR THE RETURNS.
Suspicion that They Are Being Tempered
With-What the Candidates Say.

1t Will be remembered-or at least it should
be-that at the recent township election, an es-
teemed but misguided contemporary placed
boxes at all the voting places for the purpose of
receiving on tickets provided at enormous ex-
pense for that purpose, the presidential prefer
ences of the free and untrammeled voter Much
was expected from this enterprising scheme but
for some unaccountabe reason the returns have
not yet been made public although there is a
great demand for them among the working
classes. If they are not brought forth soon
their political significance will be
almost entirely lost, for the time of
the national convention is fast approaching
1t is an open secret that in this balloting Honor
able Buck Farrell developed an unexpected
strength and probably received a majority of all
the votes cast. Mr. Farrell said to a reporter
yesterday that he was not being treated fairly in
this matter. He felt that the people ought to
know that he was the favorite candidate for
President-and in the absence of this informa
ton he felt seriously embarrassed He
had already prepared, however, a
formal expression of his political views, and
would soon make them public. At this time he
must decline, however, to give even an intimatiOn
to the papers of what they we're, further than to
deny the report, which had gained considerable
credence, that he was to be the candidate of the
National Greenback party. Judge Joseph Law
son stated to the reporter that he had understood
that there was some crookedness in counting
out the votes and that determined effort was
being made to throw out the votes east for him
in some of the wards in which
he was the strongest. If this
were done, he should appeal to the fair-minded
and justice-loving persons of all parties to vim
dictate him David Quaintance 1.-THE Joyful Oil
mani, who had a strong following for Governor
of the State on the Democratic ticket also ex
pressed regret that the returns had not Seen
made public, for he expected much of them.
There is a growing suspicion that the ballotsIare
being tempered with, and the matter should be
investigated. 1t is now three weeks since they
were cast and there is no reason for the delay
in counting them
