An Unfortunate Omission.

At county convention some
months since, il will DO rvcollected
that ono @, NJ. Hull, who runs the
other paper here, was appointed soc
rotary, Tho convention directed the
publication Of tho proceedings in all
the county papers, but no saw proper
10 ignore the instructions, so far ~
tho FREE PREss was concerned, and
in fact, as wo were credibly in-
formed at the time, actually domur-
red at first TO furnishing tho Kyle
limos copy,
His course ought not perhaps to
have been regarded surprising, but
il was very generally condemned, and
we certainly did not expect tho repe-
tition OF such an omission.
But, strange to say, tho convon-
ton at DuPre furnished q similar
instance. That convention met on
Saturday, Aug. 2lst. The FREE
Press appeared on tho next Thurs
day, tho other two papers not till the
next Saturday. Tho regular, we'll
understood course in such cases is to
send tho proceedings to tho paper
which first appears, which furnishes
a copy to those which appear later.
In the present case if tho proceed
ings had been sent to the FREE Press,
there would have boon ample time
for tho Times and Cresset to have
copied from its columns; or We would
have furnished them
proofs, if requested. BY this means
all tho county papers would have
had tho proceedings in good time.
They were of general, unusual inter
est, showing the selection Of dele
gates to the Congressional, Senatori-
ii and Representative conventions,
what was done in the way of instruct
ng for certain candidates, otc.
What was the consequence of the
allure to send us the proceedings in
limo for last weeks issue? The con-
'entions referred to have all since
ranspired, and the readers of the
FREE PRESS, constituting large and
body of the people Of the
county, save very few who may
laye accidentally heard Of them, have
,een kept in perfect ignorance of all
he preliminary steps taken with re-
,urd to said conventions. Was that
What was contemplated by the con-
ention ut DuPre? Certainly not,
because it also directed the publica-
ion Of the proceedings in Ill the pa
'ers in the county.
We will only add, that Mr. @, G.
,torts, of Kyle, the secretary, writes
IS that the failure to send us the pro-
ceilings was unintentional on his part
nut thai he could not get them ready
or us in time. While accepting the
xplanation, wo have only to repeat
hat it was an unfortunate omission,
OF to tho FREE PRESS, but to the po!it-
,al aspirants and managers of the
ounty. II they are wise they will
arefully soc to it that no similar BLUM
Ell shall occur in the future.
1t seems to us surprizing that it
id not occur to the secretary that
y sending the proceedings to the
Rec Pass first, he would have had
. make out but one copy instead of
wo, and thus might have been ION
me"
We have felt it was but proper to
office this matter, 30 that our read +
RS might see that it was not our '
.ult that they were deprived of the c
eading OF the proceedings of the
ito county convon ton. c

VIOLATING THE LAW AGAIN.
Oon-Keepers Open Their Places and Sell
Drinks Under Some Restrictions.

There was general non-observance of the law
yesterday by saloon keepers Those who vio-
lated the law most openly were the members of
the League, who, it is understood, acted under
instructions from their executive committee.
The front doors of nearly all the saloons were
kapt open all day, and tho crowds were allowed
to pass in and out. and in many
places were allowed to play pool.
1ntoxicants were not sold openly, but
those who desired drink of old bourbon had
little difficulty in getting it. If there were no
officers about it was sold openly over the bar
and if it was suspected that there were watchers
around the back room was brought into use.
Nearly all the Washington street saloons had a
watcher on the outside. who kept lookout for
the brass buttons Of a Metropolitan police, and
when he discovered one in sight the word was
passed to the inside, and when the officer came
up 1t was invariably very innocent crowd
would claim, were only buying Misunderstanding
drinks, and cigars Said member of the
League to a reporter 1.-The law only says we
shall not sell intoxicating liquors. and we have a
perfect right TO keep our doors wide open If we
want to, and sell cigars and other drinks. This
IS what We are doing, and if any member of the
League is selling liquor, then he is violating in
structions;" but nevertheless they did sell.
The police did all they could to enforce the
law, but. as they had no power to make the men
close their doors, they could do but little. Early
in the morning George Stahl, of Malott avenu e,
was arrested for selling liquor.

definite form. been argued and is waiting decis-

cratic State officer AMI member of

were talking about his Imprisonment Neither
expressed any sympathy for him, and the COM
mitteeman remarked, Il don't care q d--n if

anything for the party without pay. He always

there are scores OF needy Democrats ready to do
the service for less" On street-car, last
night. two Democratic lawyers were com
mentiDg on Perkins. when one of
them said that the chances of
