OBITUARI.

GEORGE STEYER was born on the 9th of
December 1895, in Allegany county, Mary
land, and died December 18th, 1883, at Frost
burg, Md, at the age of % years and days.
Brother George SteYer was born of Luth-
eran parents, and has been Il faithful and
devoted member Of the Lutheran church for
rs years. For over half a century he was an
active and exemplary member i'll the English
Lutheran church of FrOStburg. His reig-
ious experience was peculiarly bright. \ ttcr
he had COnsecrated himself to God it was
very manifest that he had come under the
dominion of new power had new ann
billions, hopes and pleasures. He carried his
religion into his everyday life, and was
honest and open as the morning, and rs the
sun pours its treasures INTO the bosom of the
morning, SO did the Sun of Righteousness
seem to pour His treasures into his soul.
From guile his heart and lips were free,
His humble joy, his holy fear
With deep repentance did agree,
And JOIN to prove his faith sincere
TO this church. where he was a faithful
officer for over 40 years, he was peculiarly
attached ever ready with his presence, his
prayers and his means to promote her
welfare. How true in his case We're those
words of the poet
II love my church. my dear old church,
My fathers and my own,
ON prophets and apostles built,
And Christ the cornerstone
He was truly "a father in ISruel"--at his
death the oldest member in the church. as
wei as the oldest citizen of Frostburg, where
he was respected and esteemed by all who
knew him.
He was twice married, but had nochndrcn
His second wife (who is daughter Of Rev
Heyer, of missionary fame) and sister, Mar

that all who were in Market hall will
know it is their ghosts and not them
selves. The trouble started early in
the game and was the first sign of the
general cyclone which blew through the
convention hall during the three hours
the convention lasted. Burns headed
a delegation from the Sixth ward, which
claimed to have been elected Saturday
night. 1t was given out on the side
that all Burns wanted was to knock that
astute politician, Editor Bole, off his
pms, and that was why the second ticket
was put in the field
Burns claimed that the Bole crowd
nad been elected by fraud. He said
that Democratic votes had been cast,
enough to elect Bole. p. j. Bigue. one
OF the Burns delegates, said that Bole
nad been hiring men to come and vote
his ticket. He told the committee on
credentials that he had paid out $50 for
caucus work. He said he did not be-

WAR OR PEACE?
A Democrat Who Wants Harmony
With n Big I'll.

A lone Democratic delegate to the
state convention dropped into the Mer-
chants yesterday.
Are you for Ames or Doran?" he
was asked.
Il am for harmony with a big H. he
replied and smiled sadly.
Bets are even as to whether the Dem
pcratic convention will be a bull-fight
or prayer-meeting. The Doran allies
are very confident of success. The
Ames men claim to be stronger than
they expected to be. If there is fight,
the first blood will be over the tempo
rary organization. and then the perma-
nent chairman. 1t is not improbable
that the first candidate presented for
delegate to st. Louis will be Mr.. Doran.
In this case, a show down of
hands Will be had at once.
An important feature of the convention
may be the issuance of a call by the CEN
mal committee for the convention to
nominate state officers and an electoral
ticket. The central committee meets
Wednesday night, and one of the first
things presented to it will be the

THEY WE'RE SAr nN-


der gag methods and the party would
go to sure defeat, as the Democrats had
done i'll the late city campaign. Then
he came near giving the machine tactics
away in this fashion:
These men who want To be governor
get together
IN A BACK OFFICE
and patch up an agreement of who
shall be the delegates"
The committee report favored part of
the Bole and part of the Burns dele
gates. Mr.. LOwenstein wanted to sit
on the committee and seat the straight
Bole ticket, and Sam Nichols was of the
same idea. He wanted no Democrats in
his, and after some debate the chair de-
clared a motion made by Editor BOle
to be carried, and so the BOle delegates
were seated and Mr.. Burns was simply
spectator.
There were numerous protests en-
tered on the result of the vote, but
Chairman McCardy insisted that that
was no time to discuss them. as the hall
would have to be given up to the Mum
hall revival meeting at , O'Clock Whereat
Hoskins kicked and talked of gag rule.
So did Mr.. Wheeler, but it did no good
their voices were drowned by the
clamOr of others.
When the committee submitted its
list of delegates to the state convention
MIR. HOskins wanted it tabled. He said
it was simply a product of machine
politics. The candidates for governor
get together in some bank. he said,
''lay out the work and then ask you and
me, their hired men, to come inshere. and
support the machine. As free man L
object"
The chairman and the wheelhorses
didn't like the plain way Mr.. Hoslzins
had of talking and so they choked him
off and the chair declared q motion TO
adopt the report carried. Mr.. Wheeler
arose and with violent gestures and
loud voice said that such gag rule
would not go down; it would cost the
party many votes. But he might as
well have talked to the winds. The
convention would not listen to him and
took every advantage to shut him off.
He and Mr.. Hoskins made hard efforts
to break the machine and secure free
expression of opinion. But the machine
was too heavy, and, like Juggernaut,
ground them under its wheels and left
their gore scattered i'm its track

Special to the Globe
ALBERT LEA. Mimi, May 1.-THE
Democratic county convention to elect
delegates to the state convention was
called to order at 2 D. m. by Judge E.
T.. Stacy, chairman of the county COM
mittee. He was at once elected chair
man. and d. r. p. Hibbs was elected
secretary. Judge Stacy made a
felicitous speech affirming confidence
in the reelection of President Cleveland
and Congressman Wilson and was
heartily applauded. The committee on
credentials reported fifty delegates
present, five towns only being unrepre-
sented. The following resolutions, sup
ported by able speakers, by Mr.. Hibbs
and III. y. Lane, were reported and
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That we heartily indorse
the administration of President Cleve-
land and fully approve his recommended
tons on the subject of the tariff and the
reduction of the surplus, and commend
the bill now before congress providing
for reduction of the excessive tariff as
a just and acceptable measure. believ-
ing that if the same is passed it will
effectively stop the'great influx into the
treasury which is now so greatly in eX-
cess of the needs of the government,
and will leave the money where it
rightfully belongs, in the hands of the
people.
Resolved, That we approve of the
| course of Hon. Thomas Wilson, the
present member of congress from this
district on the question of the tariff, and
| condemn as utterly opposed to the in
tereSt of the people of this state and the
nation at large the action of the Repub
lican party and its representatives in
Mills bill, whereby millions of dollars
would be left in the hands of the people
instead of being poured into already
OveriiOwing treasury.
Resolved, That we approve the vote
of Hon. Thomas Wilson on the bill now
before congress on the direct tax re-
funding bill, believing as we do that the
passage of said bill would but furnish
an argument for the passage of the cot
ton tax bill, and other measures of
equally iniQultous character, whereby
the vaults of the treasury would be
opened to all kinds of schemes for
pinndeI..
The following were reported and
elected delegates to the state conven-
ton: D. r. P. Hibbs, r. Fitzgerald,
Thomas Blacklin, Thomas Purcell. AL
ternates: F. &. Bennett, William Hor-
ming, j. V. Wohlhuter, A. j. Staldheim.
A resolution was adopted, heartily rec
ommending D. r. P. Hibbs as dele
gate to the st. Louis convention. The
delegates were of one opinion, in favor
of Cleveland and Wilson, and while
friendly to DR.. Ames and Kelly and
them in their factional warfare. The
delegates to the state convention stated
that above all they were for harmony in
the party, and if it could not be secured
in any other way they favored deposing
those who insisted on quarreling.

Ramsey Republicans Kick the
Party Machine Into Little
Pieces.
Friends of Albert Scheffer
Ward Off a Blow Below
the Belt.
Delegates Chosen to the State
and Fourth District Con-
VentiOnS.
w. j. Freaney Was Unani-
mously Indorsed as a Del
egate to Chicago.

The Republican machine was taken
to pieces and the intricate parts Of the
automaton exposed to the public gaze
in the Ramsey county Republican con-
yention yesterday. 1t was not taken
apart carefully and the pieces handled
with care, but it was kicked apart and
the pieces were scattered all overMarket
hall and some of them out upon the
sidewalk and around the corner. The
disaster happened over the selection Of
delegates to the state and Fourth dis
trict convention, for which the conven-
ton was'called. S. Lowenstein gave the
kick which sent the pieces kiting. 1t
grew out of an attempt to break the
agreement which Merriam, Scheffer aud
McGill had entered into, that for the
present there should be no signs of the
gubernatorial fight, but that each should
have equal representation on the two
lists of delegates. The convention was
as good as bull fight anyway. but no
body expected to see such a general
row kicked up as was the fact.
There had been hints at machine
work all along, but when the list of del
egateS to the district convention was re-
ported then the whole thing was given
out, and MIR. Lowenstein ripped away
the covering and showed up the insides.
The attempt was made to steal one OF
the Scheffer delegates for Merriam, but
the Schetfel men were there to watch
out for just such things, and they let out
such a roar that the Merriam men came
down on their knees and gave them
back the man they had stolen. The
convention then got right down and
crawled, and the Scheffer men walked
on the PROSTATE frame.
A. &. Foster was chairman of the
committee to report the district dele
gates. The second name OH the list
was w. W. Erwin, the Tall Pine of the
North, and when his name was read Mr..
Lowenstein shifted the air and got into
kicking position. A motion was made
that the list be adopted.

mittee come to put the name of W. W.
Erwin on that list,'' said Mr.. LoWen-
stein, without consulting me? l gave
HIM the name of Berkheimer according
to the agreement. Will he tell me
whose name was left off in place of
Erwin?"
Mr.. Foster hemmed twice and said,
"Alr. ErwIn's name was there in place
of Mr.. Berkheimer. ''Mr. Lowenstein
may know all about these trades and
suited Mr.. Freaney. and Mr.. Erwin was
satisfactory to him, so we put him on"
Il object to Erwia," said Lowenstein
in his rich dialect. ''Pledges were made
that each gubernatorial candidate should
have equal representation. These
pledges were made at the request of
Mr.. Merriam, and now [ want to see
him stand by his agreement. The COM
mittee had no right to consult Mr..
Freaney, whom l shall support, after l
gave my list. l want the original
pledges adhered to. If you want test
vote | am ready for the ayes and noes
right here, for L know that the Scheffer
strength is in command of this cOnYen-
tion."
81 agree with Mr.. Lowenstein," said
Mr.. Severance, ''the pledges were made
and believe it is the proper thing to do
to stand by them"
1--WE made changes in the lists of each
of the candidates." said E. E. McDon-
aid, one of the committee. I'VE didn't
invade the Scheffer camp. There are
changes in the McGill delegates. l
claim we had right to submit the list
we chose to. We have put in no enemy
of Mr.. Scheffer
Schetfer end of the machine, arose and
said, with Mr.. Lowenstein, that the
work of the committee would not go
down. The committee had no right to
invade Scheffer'S camp and steal men,
and he should insist that the original
schedule be carried out. Mr.. Freaney,
who was one of the delegates on the
district convention list, thought it was
getting too sultry and that it would be
we'll to save the pieces before the fun
nel-shaped cloud struck his head, so he
arose and volunteered to take Off his
own name and let the name of Mr.. En-
win stand. But Mr.. Lowenstein would
accept no compromise. He insisted that
the combination lock must not be mon
keyed with in the slightest, or it might
fail to work, and he made bold demand
that Mr. Berkheimer be put On the list
Mr. Foster said that so far as he was
concerned it made no difference, and so
the convention bowed itself under the
hand of Mr.. r.l4owenstein,a and the name of
the Tall Pine from the North was rubbed
off the tab. The original Scheffer man,
Mr.. Berkheimer, was put in its place,
and the report was adopted. 1t was a
clear case for the Scheffer men, who
routed and put to flight the combine
that stole upon them unawares and
tried to get in blow below the belt.
