ooNeIhi uiStiiStS Vi lnc county, last mohuuy, NJ
which delegates were chosen to county con-
yention, which assembled in Bel Air. on We'd
nesday, to elect five delegates to represent Har-
ford county in the State Convention at Balti-
more, on Thursday.
The convention met at 12 O'clock aud WAS
called to order by Hon. Henry D. Farnandis,
chairman of the county Central Committee. -
Hon. Herman Stump was called to the chair
and W. &. Rouse appointed Secretary.
Upon taking the chair Col. Stump made q
brief speech. Referring to the primaries held
last Saturday he said:
At those primaries every Democrat had right
TO say who should be the candidates and every
Democrat who participated is in honor and duty
bound to abide by the Democratic rule that the
nominees selected by a majority of the party
Democrat in the county. The ticket nominated on
Saturday should and will have the support Of
every Democrat and will be triumphantly elected
by an unusually large majority.
Every man could not secure all the candidates he
voted for. but still party honor demands that every
Democrat put his shoulder to the wheel and see
that the ticket Is elected.
In regard to a State ticket other counties have
pledged their votes to certain individuals and Har
the reasons which secured an Overwhelming
Democratic triumph In the election for Congress
ty for our @i State ticket in NoveSber
1t is not necessary to go into the causes which
led to the glorious result last November. The
farming interests are languishing; mechanics are
not doing well as they ought; laborers are COM
PEELED to pay enormous prices for the necessarles
of life and all are growing poorer, while corpora
tons and trusts are eating out the life of the peo
Pile. The high tariff has produced this result. 1t
excludes us from trade with foreign countries and
compels them TO raise their own grain instead of
buying ours. And whilst our farm products are
deprecated in price the farmer is Obliged to pay
so per cent. more for everything he consumes be-
cause OF this high tariff Your farms are mort
gagged and you can scarcely pay interes. and taxes
without deprivins your families of comforts to
which your labor, entities you. Take away this
enormous tariff and you will find relief.
Farmers should unite in demanding their rights.
but recollect that it is the Democratic rarity which
is making war against the tariff.
The last Congress spent over $3.50 0C0 for every
day of the session. nearly $780, 900 for every day
since Columbus discovered America. Where did
this enormous sum come from? Every dollar came
out of your pockets by indirect taxes. Think of
these things, farmers, and vote the Democratic
ticket
