Excessive Representation.

There were three conventions In Baltl-
more county on Monday. These conven-
tions elected seven delegates to the state
convention, six to the second congressional
district convention and two to the fifth
congressional convention. 1t is difficult to
understand why Baltimore county should
have seren delegates in state convention
and eight in congressional conventions, If
the first and thirteenth districts are entitled
to two delegates in the fifth congressional
district convention, the balance OF the
county is only entitled to five in the second
congressional district convention.
There is something wrong in the repre-
sentation of Baltimore county. a large
part of the county was taken into the city
recently. The portion thus absorbed Is
giyen representation of four votes in the
second congressional district, while the
shorn county has the same representation IN
the state convention and the second and
fifth congressional districts as formerly,
What was formerly Baltimore county,
with eight votes in congressional conven-
tons. has noy twelve. Baltimore county
has thus az undue influence in the coun-
ellis of the Democratic party, aud this
should be inquired into and corrected.
The delegates to the second congressional
convention were instructed for j. Fred. L.
Talbot for Congress, and in the convention
to select delegates to the state convention
the names of both Cleveland and German
were qpplauded. The delegates to the
second congressional district convention are
Milton W. Offutt, Thomas r. Jeniier,
James B. Councilman, Alfred NJ. Fowble,
August Weis and DIR. j. F. H. Gorsueh.

Senator Quay spent Tuesday in Philadel-
phia. and. besides meeting number OF local
politicians. had lengthy conference with A

The Democratic Convention in the Fourth
Kansas District on Tuesday decided to unite

decision to put the appropriation bills ahead
of everything else, and prepare for an ad-
iournment of Congress as early as practical
Bile.
Mr.. Mitchell, from the Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections, on Tuesday reported to
the Senate a joint resolution proposing con

Friends of Mr.. Cleveland are awaiting with
considerable anxiety the result of the May
convention in New York. 1t is hoped by
them if no mistake is made at this convention
the ex- President nomination will be assured
The danger feared is some of the delegates to
the convention may take step outside the
original object of the convention and go into
State and city politics, and perhaps attempt
to make the meeting the starting point for
permanent State organization in opposition
to Tammany.

CORRESPONDENCE of the Democratic Advocated
FLoREsyILLE, May Is, 1892.
DEAR ADvOcATE.-This spring has been I'M
usually cool, windy and dry, not even a light
rain falling in this locality from March 10th
until Nav 18th. Much Of the cotton crop IS
not up vet, gardens are doing fairly well, and
corn grew during these two months OF absolute
drought with apparent perfection. That
which was planted Immediately after the
freeze March 10TH is now tasselling and
shooting. Vegetables are now in abundance,
but the inevitable mid summer drought Will
soon slaughter them. oh, how have wished
that Texas had the regular rains OF Maryland,
and that Maryland had the fertile and DIVERSE
fed soils of Texas.
Since the bountiful rain Monday morning
all kinds of work has taken on a new impetus.
A new banking firm, with financial vertebrae
in il, has commenced business in the building
lately made vacant by the collapse OF one
horse affair, which defunct bank ~ relieved
many Floresville depositors of lot OF the
roots of all evil. The evil seems to be here
vet. but about half of the roots are immensely
minus.
A large squad of mechanics are distributed
over our elegant court, house, engaged IN the
work of general repairs.
The cowboy preachers mammoth tent,
in which he breaches, was blown down and
torn beyond immediate repair by the wind and
rain storm of Monday last. He borrowed the
Baptist church and continued his glorious
work ~ of pouring hot shot and poisoned
arrows into the religious camps of all demon
nations. o, he gives the denominations
''hark from the tomb" | wish you could
hear him; it's phunny.
A genial, decrepid old gentleman, by the
name of Burns, living alone near here, was
murdered Sunday night; supposed to have
been dcne for robbery. No clue yet as to the
sanguinary devils who committed the awful
deed.
General health excellent.
Temperature at this hour, 9 a. IN, 72'i clear,
breezy and beautiful morning.
OH say, don't forget what | said to you
about A. p German. We want to know HIM
as the President of the United States. Poll
tics are getting decidedly three cornered in
Texas-Democrats Republicans and People
party. The latter are mainly from the rural
people, and while their platform and demands
NAV be somewhat extravagent, they are de-
termined to have their way, and I'll wager
plug of navy tobacco that they have it, local
tv ot least. PETE.

A. Difference.

In the Methodist Episcopal General
Conference at Omaha, Nebraska, on Tues
day, the Judiciary committee reached the
conclusion upon the meaning of the word
nIaymen" in the Discipline, where it pro-
vides for lay representation. The commit
tee is of the opinion that the word does
not and never has included women but has
meant and does mean men only.
The General Conference of the Meth
odist Protestant Church, in session in this
city, on the next day voted that laymen did
include women, aud that women were eli
gible also to the ministerial office.
The former Conference, by very decsi-
i've vote, decided that Young Peoples
Societies, the Christian Endeavor Societies,
and all other young peoples societies,
should be merged in the EpwOrth League,
the multiplication of these organizations
tending to divide and weaken instead of
strengthen christian work.

Washington Notes.

Representative Bland, of Missouri, created
a little furry on Monday by expressing his
willingness to repeal the dependent pension
act.
1t is said that one of the wealthiest republi-
can Senators has placed in the hands Of agents
S50,G00 to be wagered in sums of $1,000 and
upward that Harrison will not be nominated,
and that he has offered to wager, in case
Harrison is nominated an unlimited amount,
with odds of two to one, that he will not be
elected
The Harrison men are already beginning
the task Of letting their man down easy.
They now acknowledge that he cannot be
nominated on the first ballot, and they talk
mysteriously about the possibility of his not
allowing lis name to go before the convention
at all, or of his Withdrawing in favor of Blaine
after the first ballot. That Mr.. Harrison
will willingly withdraw in favor of Mr. Blaine
is not believed by anyone in Washington; he
would prefer seeing any other man in the
world nominated.
Senator Wolcolt, of Colorado, has report

ploded bomb in temperance circles by the

church to be successful in rsaehiRg the masses,
was to compete with the drinking saloons by
opening respectable places for the sale Of
beer and light wines.
''You cannot stamp the evil out in city
like this" he said. "What we must do is to
provide substitutes which will not be tainted
by vice and unwholesome surroundings.

saloons and run them probably, and ] only

Of resort without intemperance. What is
more, would have them open on Sunday

serious question for the consideration of the
Chicago convention.
MIR. Harrison, in spite Oft the combination
against him. is likely to be nominated at
Minneapolis. We hope he may be, for we
regard him as the weakest adversary that
could be named. His extreme Protec-
ton ideas, his advocacy of the Force BILL
and his action against free coinage have
driven into lukewarmness many Republic
cans throughout the country, and he will
meet with the revenge that is certain from
those who failed to get place and power
under his administration.
Since the above was written, New Jer-
sey Democrats have instructed their dele

There is said to be a movement in the
General Conference of the Methodist
Protestant Church TO elect DR.. Lewis
editor of the Methodist P'otestant, pub
lished at Baltimore. This effort is viewed
with deep concern by the citizens of West
minister, who hope no such action will be
taken. Dr. Lewis, no doubt, would extend
the influence and usefulness of the paper,
but he is doing greater work at Western
Maryland College. His work in relieving
the College from epbarrassments, in ad-
ding 10 the buildings, and increasing the

There is great deal of loose talk about

are startling figures, and if the RECKLESS pen
sion legislation and expenses eantinHe to
grow in the same ratio as in the past year or
two, it will become serious question how to
avoid bankruptcy. 1t is time halt be made
