district, together with the Hon. w. c. P. Breck-
enridge, the distinguished member of Congress
from Kentucky, and Mrs. Breckenridge. Mr..

Herman Stump, whose niece, Mrs. Russell Muir
ray, of New York, met Mrs. Breckenridge and
took her to Waverly, Col. Stump's residence,
while Mr.. Breckenridge remained at Col.

shake hands with him.

Logan, q. T. Milton.
The organization being complete the chair
man, DR.. Gorsuch, thanked the convention for
the honor of presiding over it. The Demo
cratic party, he said, was one of principle and
not of sentiment merely, and would take from
the usurpers who now hold control of the gov
eminent those rights which they have wrested
from the people and restore them where they
belong. If every Democrat, be said, will do his
duty the Democratic party will triumph In the
election Of Grover Cleveland as President of the
United States.
While the committee on credentials were out
the chairman suggested that the band might
give the convention some Democratic music,
whereupon they struck up Hail Columbia. The
band was the Bayside Band, of Havre de Grace,
G. NJ. Jones, leader.
ACommittee on Resolutions, consisting of the
Vice Presidents, with Hon. Henry Vanderford,
chairman, reported resolutions, arraigning the
Republican party for it's oppression OF the farm
ing interest, by an unjust tariff, for Its failure
to carry out civil service reform, for it's
wasteful expenditure Of the government sur
plus and for its attempt to pass the Force Bill.
The resolutions also endorsed the Hon. Herman
Stump for his sturdy opposition against the
arbitrary measures OF the Republican majority
in Congress, and especially for his efforts
against an increase In the duty on tin, in the in
terest of the people and particularly of the can
ming industry.
=, The resolutions were adopted.
Nominations being then in order Mr.. A. ID.
Talbot, of Baltimore county, nominated Hon.
Herman Stump, as candidate for Congress.
The nomination was seconded by MIR. VIM. 8.
Bowman, of Hartford, who said he had known
Col. Stump FROM his youth !; that he had always
maintained firm position in the Democratic
ranks. He has been foremost in bearing the
burden and heat Of the day, and has filled
every place to which the Democratic party
has assigned him with credit andability.-
With this view Of his exalted character, l
therefore, on behalf of my county, heartily
second the nomination of Col. Stump.
Mr. B. f. Grouse, of Carroll, also seconded
the nomination of Col. Stump, and said he re-
garded him as well worthy to represent the
Second Congressional District. He has had the
courage to stand before thet tyrant from Maine
and maintain Democratic principles. Carroll
county promises q renewed support to the
nominee of this convention and will give a
larger majority then ever before.
Hon. Henry Vauderford, of Carroll, said he
had known Col. Stump for many years. He has
challenged my admiration, said Mr.. Vanderford,
al every stage of his career. Carroll tenders her
voluntary offering to Harfords favorite son.
Cecil and the Baltimore city wards also
seconded the nomination of Col. stump and his
election was made unanimously by reclamation.
Messrs Vanderford, VIM. s. Bowman and 2.
Martin were appointed committee TO INFORM
Col. Stump of his nomination. Ihey retired
and soon returned with the nominee, who was
received with cheers, and being introduced to
the convention, welcomed the delegates to Har-
ford county, and thanked them for their renewed
confidence in him. He denounced the arbitrary
course of Speaker Reed aud said the Republican
party are preparing to pay their political debts
with taxes levied upon the people. The enor-
creased by the Mckinley bill to 81 per cent to pay
The manufacturers for their contributions TO the
Harrison campaign fund. Worse than TINS, Mr.
Reed declared in his Portland speech that the
federal power must take In It's hands the federal
elections This is to be done by the Force Bill
in order to perpetuate the rule OF the Republican
party That bill has been lodged in the Senate
until after the November elections, when the
men who dared to undertake the destruction Of
our rights will be left at their homes and
h ..i. aolS
ton Mr.. Stump, with deep feeling, again thank.
ed the convention for nominating him.
Mr. j. Fred. G. Talbot responded to loud
calls and came forward. He advised farmers,
Republicans as we'll as Democrats, to investi-
gate the tariff question for themselves, and they
would see the inequality OF the tariff aud be
convinced that the Democratic party Is right.
Mr.. Blaine leader of the Republican party, saw
that the masses of the people were inclinlng to-
wards tariff for revenue, with incidental pro-
lection, and an economical administration
of the government, and had called partial halt
in the Republican programme by his reciprocity
letter. They never altered line In the tariff
bill but inserted a reciprocity clause giving the
administration power to make treaties with
South American countries to admit certain OF
their products free of duty here II they will ad-
nit tain products Of our country free in their
ports. This will not help the farmer, but is
only to give foreign market to our Infant
industries" He advised farmers, Republicans
and Democrats, if they want relief, to let their
war cry be "Cleveland and Tariff Reform"
Everybody, he said is provided for In the McKin-
ey bill, but the farmer, for Of $500 900 600 of
articles exported, 5000 100000 is produced by
our farmers, and they will have to pay rs per
cent of ali the taxes produced by this in-
iquitious tariff bill. The convention adjourned
upon the conclusion of Mr.. Talbott's excellent
speech.
From Baltimore county there were present
WIN. II. Ruby, of the Towsontown Journal JAS.

Waters, of Carroll county, was also at the con-
vention.
