There were some lively proceedings
in the Republican county convention
here to-day to select delegates for the
Congressional convention at Rock.
vile August %. It was ascertained
this morning that the majority OF
delegates from district No. 16, which
had been supposed to be for Welling-
ton. were for McComas, and this gave
McComas and Wellington eight votes
each, with another district for Nc.
Comas contested. The Wellington
districts had the fullest representa-
ton, and they controlled the conven.
ton by deciding at the outset to vote
by delegates instead of districts, as
heretofore customary. They decided
by vote of SO to 80 to vote by dele
gates on temporary chairman. and

because of the dispute as to district
number sixteen's representation on
the committee, it being claimed that
owing to a misunderstanding of the
chairman man not selected by that
delegation had been placed on the
committee. The committee asked
the appointment of a new commit
tee, saying they had no report to
make. The committee chairman,
however, presented the report so far
as prepared, and this was adopted by
the convention after a warm discus
sion. in which some personalities were
INDUCED in. The McComas men did
not vote at all on the adoption OF
this report. Finally about half the
McComas delegates left the hall, and
those who remained did no more vot.

secure adjournment. The Yelling

contested. Three of the FIVE dele
gates from No. Is, North Branch.
were Unexpectedly found to be for
McComas. The Wellington men had
the fullest delegations and by adopt
ing the Individual method of voting,
they succeeded in controlling the
convention. A number of the Nc
Comas men left the hall near the close
of the proceedings, but there was no
"bolt."
The McComas men who retired
took no separate action and will make
no contest, Both they and their
friends who remained in the conven.
ton, complained bitterly Of the treat
ment they had received in being rem
dered powerless by the unexpected
suspension of the unit rule and adop,
tiOn of the individual method a
voting. They represented as many
districts as their opponents and claim
to represent 500 more Republican
votes and hence think they should
have had more say in convention.

The contest in yesterdays conyen.

fact that change in the method of
representation is badly needed. The
plan OF voting by districts has pre-
vailed so long that delegations have
contracted the habit of sending only
a portion of their membership 10 cast
the vote. If a system were adopted
whereby it was understood that dis.
tricts shall cast the number of indi-
vidual votes to which they are en-.
titled, no more and no less, this rep
resentstion being proportioned to the
Republican vote cast, such proceed.
ings as yesterdays would not hap
pen. There should be a definite rule
laid down, however. so that dele.
gates may know what to expect.
The unit rule ought not prevail at
one time and individual representa-
ton at another. The party managers
should look to it.

THE SILENT sEARCHERs.

+ When the darkness of night has fallen,
And the birds are fast asleep,
An army Of silent searchers
From the dusky shadows creep;
And over the quiet meadows
Or amid the waving trees,
They wander about with their tiny lamps
That flash in the evening breeze.
And this army of silent searchers,
Each with his fllckering light,
Wanders about till the morning
Has driven away the night.
What treasures they may be seeking
No man upon earth can know;
Perhaps ','s the home Of the fairies
K Who lived In the long ago.
For an ancient legend tells us
Thaton when the fairy king
Had summoned his merry minstrels
AT the royal feast to sing,
The moon, high over the tree-tops,
With the stars refused to shine,
And an army with tiny torches
Was called from the oak and pine.
And when, by the imps of darkness,
The fairies were chased away,
The army began It's searching
At the close Of dreary day;
Through all the years that have followed
The seekers have searched the night,
Piercing the gloom of the hours
With the flash Of the magic light.
Would you see the magical army?
Then come to the porch with me
Yonder among the hedges
And near the maple tree,
Over the fields of clover
And down in the river-damp,
The fire flies search till the morning,
Each with his Pickering lamp.

Bishop Hopkins Hall, the new diocesan

All friends of education will rejoice that
another school of the highest standard is

finely situated on Rock Point, and no
pains have been spared in making its
equipments complete.
The school Will be under the charge of
the Rev, l.. NJ. Hardy of this city as prin

in teaching, and as head master OF several

upon having secured Miss Mary +. Ma
