The Republican County convention met at
Firemen's Hall, this city, on Tuesday, pur
snant to adjournment on September 4th.
The convention was not large, one district,
Freedom, not being represented at all, and
from nu district was there full representation.
The number of spectators was few also.
As the convention was organized on the
4tii inst, the nomination of ticket was the
only business before the convention. Upon
the matter of nominations not much interest
was manifested, and there was nothing
to disturb the serenity of the scene except a
dog fight of one round that occurred at the
door.
Chairman William Wood presided, with J.
Edwin Weaver secretary. DR.. L.. Kemp, of
Uniontown, the other secretary, was not pres
ent. Chairman Wood, in calling the conven-
ton to order, said the convention had met to
nominate a full county ticket, in accordance
with the resolution adopted at the last meet
ing of the convention. He advised the Sc
lection Of a strong, first class ticket, and be-
lieved the conditions were favorable to Re-
publican success.
H.. NJ. Clabaugh moved the appointment of
n committee of one from each district, to be
named by district delegations, to suggest
nominees for the various offices to be filled.
The committee was named as follows, by
districts in their numerical order: Franklin
a. Bowersox, Marshall G.. Shaw, Louis K.
Shrver, Frederick Walking, William Ly-
nerd, John Zentgraf, William Richards, Will
liam Y. Frizzell. y. NJ. Duttera, Henry En-
giar, Scott Wolfe. Walter K. Rudy.
The committee organized with Marshall g.
Shaw as chairman aud Louis L. Shriver sec
retary After an absence of some time the

Mr.. Cabaugh then urged every member of
the convention to look after the matter Of
registration.
The convention was about to adjourn,
when p. B. Englar, of Taneytowq district,
made statement concerning the registrars of
voters. He said they were playing game
that was unfair; that they would not give a
Republican transfer, except upon the per,
sonal application of the person to be trans
ferred, while Democrats got them without
such personal application, &c.
Chairman Wood asked some questions af-
feeling Mr.. Englar's direct knowledge of I'M
fair dealing, and his replies showed that the
uufairness was more imaginary than real.
The convention empowered the Central
Committee to fill any vacancies that may oc-
cur on the ticket, and then adjourned.
THE TICKET.
The ticket is up to the average of Repub-
ican tickets in Carroll, and some Republi-
cans think it is the best ever nominated. The

County Commissioners, but how they will
get their names on the ticket is n question
lis advisers have not settled.
