The Executive Committee Of the DIS

don of the Carroll county Democracy
has no precedent, and while We are
speaking in the iutrest of no Candi-

premature proceedings. We learn
too that uoticecalling the mass meet

An instruction under such circum-

Tennis Grounds 6ecured-The Boys
Work Re- organised.

Perhaps one of the most important lines OF
work carried on in connection with the Young
Mems Christian Associations throughout the
country is the work for, and among boys.
The new Secretary has thoroughly re-organ-
lied the Boys Department of our
local association and proposes to
give the boys good deal for a very little
money. The fee charged is only twenty five
cents, (25c. and entities members to class
instruction in the gymnasium, twice week
Tuesday evenings and Saturday afternoons.
Over thirty boys between the ages of l2 and
Is were in the class last evening, and en-
joyed the exercise insomuch as to exclaim
they had had 25 cents worth of fun
already. They will hold regular
sessions Tuesday evenings; three evenings
in the month the meetings will be of literary
nature, and the fourth will be given up to
bible study.
The committee on out door sports have
made arrangements with Mr.. W. N. Soule
to have use of a nicely located lot on
Western avenue for lawn tennis grounds, and
two double courts will be put in order as
soon as the weather will permit The more
wholesome pleasures the association will
utilize in surrounding young men with
christian influences, the less will the Young
men care for sparring matches and amuse-
ments of a low and degrading character.

What the New York State Convention
Did

BUFFALO, May Is.
At 1920 Gen. Knapp, as chairman of the
executive committee, called the convention
to order, During the roll call of delegates,
when the secretary called the name of
Chauncey NJ. Depew, a storm of cheers went
up which lasted some time, and then three
formal cheers for Depew were given with
great heartiness. When the names of Blaine
and Depew were spoken there were deafen-
ing cheers, for one as strong as the other.
The committee on resolutions adopted the
following as the only platform:
The republicans of New York, in conven-
ton here assembled, are certain that the ma
tional convention at Chicago, will present
candidates for President and Vice President
whose devotion to American ideas, to the
protection of labor, agriculture and manu-
tactures, will command the approval of the
people, and pledge to the republican standard
bearers in the national contest their united
and Jealous support and will enter upon the
canvass confident of victory.
Resolved, That all questions relating to
the policy of the republican party as to
national and State policy be referred to the
republican national and State conventions,
respectively, TO be held the present year.
Resolved, That we approve the action of
the republican members of Congress in op-
posing the Mills tariff bill, so called, ard
urge them to persevere in defeating every
device intended to place upon the statute
books the free trade theories of Clevelands

Now that the battle of Gettysburg is being
discussed and brought before the minds of
the public so frequently the following clipped
from the Philadelphia Morning Post for July
4th, 1868 may be of interest and give us
faint idea of the intense anxiety the telegram,
must have occasioned:
GETTYSBURG, July 3, 8 10. p. M.
A great attack is now being made on our
left centre by powerful column of rebels.
We can see them advancing in hosts. Their
lines are half mile in length. They have
a mile to march before they strike our line,
All our artillery has now opened upon them
and we can see them falling in hundreds. In
a few minutes they will strike our line and
the fight will be at close quarters.
The copy of the Post from which the above
was taken was furnished us by Gen Mulho-
land.
