Tuesday the county convention, to
which the above gentlemen were elect
ed, met in Cumberland. DR.. NJ. A.
R. F. Carr, of Cumberland, was elect
ed president, and William Foley, of
Flintstone, secretary. From No. Is,
Homecoming, Il contesting delegation
appeared, owing to some Irregularities
charged. Tho committee on creden-
tials, ETC., admitted the one headed by
Frank Ennis.
When this committee had submitted
Its report motion to amend the usual
provision recommending that each dis
trict be entitled to one vote, a major
ity of the delegation to decide, was
not entertained by the chair. The
amendment abrogated the district unit
rule and conferred one vote upon every
delegate present, but the chair held
that the proposition conficted with
usage and could not be entertained.
This resulted in the withdrawal of
seven districts, 5, 6, s. 10, 70 and
Is, provincially styled "anti-ring,"
''anti-canal," 'reformers,'' ETC., as the
taste of the orator may bend
The report was adopted by the eight
districts remaining, colloquially desig-
mated as 'ring," ''canal," "anti-re-
FORM" ETC., and other tender epithets
peculiar to the bright lexicon of local
politics.
The following were elected delegates
to the State Convention in Baltimore
next Wednesday, Sept. 10Th:
| Hon. Josiah II. Gordon, Dew H. Reynolds
and w. +. Landers, of Cumberland; John

DR.. T. p. Eobosson, of Flintstone; John r.
Edwards and ]. B. Humbird, of Cumberland

In addition to the resolutions be.
low, formally adopted in the report
OF the committee, motions stating the
sense of the convention as favorable tc
the denomination and election OF

Jones, and Senator German were car
ried:
ReSolYed, That the Democracy Of Allegany
county views with satisfaction the policy y
the administration of President Grover Clevc
land, and we accept it as a guarantee of tn,
tulfilmcnt of the pledges contained in his let
ter OF acceptance and inaugural address Ell

State convention for settlement.
