The Republican county convention
which met in Turner hall yesterday
morning was made up OF nearly the
same men as the city convention OF last
Thursday. The delegates from the
"rottcn b0roughs" turned up smiling.
but they fell right in with the majority
and made no contest. The twenty-eight
delegates chosen to represent tue cOun-
" in the coming state convention were
instructed 10 support Stanford Newell
for delegate al large TO the national
convention. and the eighty-fOur me n
sent to the district convention were told
to stand by George ThampSOn for one
OF the district delegates. This happy
result Of a battle that had been waged
with relentless hostility for more tfIan

was largely brought about by the good
Offices OF Col. Samuel LowenStein, vino.

drew from the race.
Chairman NJ. W. Fitzgerald, OF the
committee, called the body 10 order
shortly after 10 O'clock. nearly every
one of the ~ delegates being present.
There was an expectation OF contest
between ex-senator D. NJ. Sabn and
Mr. Newell Tor the delegation TO the
state iSenti0n, and this drew out the
boys IN force. Aid. John Copeland, the
ProhibtlOnist from the First ward.
nominated Il. ID. Sheenan, OF tile First
ward for temporary chairman. and he
was elected without opposition, the

telling the delegates what he knew, or
thought he knew, about national poll
ties. He referred To the Democratic re-
apportionment in New York. Wisconsin
and Michigan. but neglected TO mention
the position of the Republican party in
Connecticut and Nebraska. 10 the Re
publican party he attributed the bounti-
full crops of 1891, and said that it was
being sent across the waters to rel leVe
the distress Of the old world. Here
again he omitted to state that American
gold is daily being sent to the same
afflicted people, even il it Is unwlllingly
sent OF the two leading candidates for
the Democratic presidential nomination
he said:
The Democratic party has two candidates,
One the stuffed Prophet OF Wall Street, VINO

abused farmers and laborer, and who again
reiterates his nightmare prophecies about the
terrible haruships of the " estern farmer and

whiLened by Il majestic fleet Of American
vessels, freghted with the staple product OF

not the David who slew Goliath, but he j. the
David of Tammany. He stands as the Spon-

thought il was time for the cOlOred Re
publicans to be heard and lie nominated
j. Il. Hickman. of the Ninth ward, for
secretary. His election fol-
lowed. No committee OIL credentials
was appointed, as there were no con-
tests, and the chairmen of the several
delegations reported directly to the sec
rotary Of the convention. The city del

When the convention was again ready
Tor business Col. Lowenstein set the
Ball in Motion.
He arose slowly and with that dig
nlty tor which he bias justly become
famed, announced that he had de-
cided to withdraw from the race for the
district delegateShip. He spoke in the
highest terms of Judge Stanford Newell,
and said that he hoped that he would be
Endorsed for delegate at large TO the
national convention. After thank
ing his friends for their sup
port, Mr.. Lowenstein moved 10
make the temporary organization
permanent. This was done. and Nj. }.
Costello moved that committee. coll
sisting OF one from each ward and one
from the country, be appointed by the
chair to report the names or twenty

and one for every major fraction thereof
until the full quota OF delegates is filed.
