served the district well in the past and he
hoped would live to do us long and valuable
service. The politics of Baltimore county, he
said, are in better condition than he had ever
known them, and the candidate nominated
would receive the vote of Baltimore county.
DIR. Frank II. Shaw, of Carroll county, was
put i'm nomination by Mr.. Ii. i. KrOuse. He
said that in presenting CARROTS choice he had
nothing but praise for those whose names had
been presented. lie believed DIR. Shaw could
render better service than any man in the dis
trict, by his long experience, ability and ener-
gy. He stood by Cleveland in his tariff mes
sage, was for the Mills bill and did all i'll his
power to further the cause of tariff reform.
Mr.. Charles c. Crothers, of Cecil county, was
presented by Mr.. X. e. lamar, who, he said,
needed no commentator at his hands. He has
so often taken part in the councils of the State
that his worth and qualities are well-known.-
He is in the noontide of life and thoroughly
conversant with the great issues OF the day
logical and fully prepared for every duty re-
quired of him as public servant. If nom-
creditable representative. For % years Cecil
has been out in the cold, havinglhad only one
member of Congress in all that time, and never
has had one rs part of this district. She has,
therefore, a right to claim this nomination.
The name of Hon. Herman Stump, OF Har-
ford county, was presented by MIR. Frank L..
Gorrell, who said:
1t is with feeling of diffidence and with a
deep sense of the responsibility which rests
upon this convention that rise to address you
in behalf of an honored son OF Hartford. A
grave and responsible duty has been committed
to our charge which we should meet conscien-
tiously, fearlessly, faithfullyand without preju-
dice. Twenty-sx men are called upon to-day
to name the next Representative i'll Congress
from the Second Congressional district, II duty
that has been contided to us by 10000 citizens
of this district and the election i'll November
will be but the formal endorsement of the re-
suit of our labors, and an intelligent public
will in November next set the seal of their APP
prevail the stamp of their condemnation
upOn our action here to-day. 1t may not he
doubted that the candidate you name will be
elected. The district is too solidly Democratic
to fear defeut, but our standard bearer should
be one for whom we can roll up majority
which will make hill and dale echo with shouts
of victory.
/ do not desire, in the slightest degree, to
speak disparagingly of the gentlemen whose
names have been so elOquently presented to
this convention by their chosen champions for
nomination as the Democratic candidate for
Congress for the Second Congressional District.
We are all Democrats, united i'll the hope and
desire that our district shall continue to be re-
presented i'll Congress by Democrat who will
faithfully protect and advance the interests of
our State, and especially of the portion which
he represents. We are also agreed, | trust,
that the gentleman we nominate must be one
who will aid in bringing out the full vote OF
our party.
The gentleman whose name have the honor
to present on behalf of my native county is
such one. 1 therefore present to this convcn-
ton for nomination as the Democratic candi-
date. the Honorable Herman Stump.
He is no stranger to you personally nor to
the people of this Congressional district. For
two consecutive terms he has represented us
in the councils of the nation with distinguished
Congress from Maryland done more or better
for his constituents than Col stump! He has
secured large appropriations for useful and
needed purposes; he has given prom pit care to
every proper request from any of his constitu-
ents lie stands in the front rank among the
working members of the House of Representa-
Ir,, -, h
by his assignment to the craftsmanship of one
of the most important committees of the
House-the Committee on Immigration, in
which position he has made a brilliant record.
His bill, now pending before Congress, to ia
cilitate the enforcement of the immigration and
contract labor laws of the United States is the
result of unwearied labor and intelligent OBJ
servation. 1t is intended to protect American
labor from unfair competition with foreign
labor: to thrust back from our shores idiots,
paupers and criminals, whom the nations of
Europe have for years been sending to this
country, and for this beneticent bill if for moth
ing else, he deserves the thanks and continued
support of this Convention. | name the Hon.
orable Herman Stump for nomination by this
convention.
Nominations being declared closed the first
ballot was taken, Talbot receiving the votes
from Baltimore city and g from Baltimore

Stump, while Cecil gave to Talbot and to
Crothers. This made Talbot ID. One more
vote would have nominated him then.
The next two ballots were as the first. On
the 18th ballot Carroll again gave Crothers 5
votes, and on the Sth gave her votes to
Stump.
very well that I'm the beginning neither Cecil
nor Hartford was ready to abandon their first
choice and they were perfectly safe in making
q feint for either. After the 9Th ballot the
votes of Carroll were cast uninterruptedly for
Shaw until the time came to give them to Tai
bolt.
Talbot IL, Shaw 8, CrOthers 4, Stump 5. 1t
was varied occasionally by Hartford or Cecil
changing their votes, Hartford sometimes Civ
ing Shaw or Crothers votes and Cecil giving
her to Stump or Shaw.
Occasionally a recess would be taken for
conference but nothing appeared to come of
When the 225th ballot was called for, Mr..
Grouse, of Carroll ,unty, said the convention
had been casting its votes hither and thither,
and a nomination ought to be made. The
second district convention has become q stencil
in the nostrils of the people. He then asked to
be excused from voting until he could consult
Shortly afterwards the vote was taken, and
a little fury of excitement was created when

meant nothing. The convention was called

nous.
Mr.. Talbot was sent for and received with
applause. He said it was the happiest day of
his life. He had fought honestly and squarely
for the honor. He said if elected he was for an
honest revision of the tariff and for an honest
dollar Remarks were made by the other can
