The convention held Saturday for the purpose
of electing delegates and alternates to represent
Portage County at the Democratic State Con-
vention to be held at Columbus today and to-
morrow, well attended, considering the
busy season among farmers.
The convention was called to order by 1. H.
Phelps, Esq, who stated the objects of the
meeting. Hon. D. C. Goodman was thereupon
elected Chairman. and Edmund Knapp, of
Garrettsville, and E. Y. Lacey, of this city were
elected Secretaries.
In taking the chair, Mr.. Goodman said that in
the language of President Cleveland, it was a
condition and not theory that confronted US.
The convening of an extraordinary session of
Congress was an unusual experience, ,ocoasioned
by the necessity of devising some measure OF
relief from the present unfortunate financial
condition of the country. Our Republican
friends, of course, charged it all on the Demo-
cratic administration. laying especial stress on
the tariff policy of the party. The absurdity
OF the charge was APPARENT, when it was reflect
ed that for nearly a third of a century not
single law on the Federal statute books has been
placed there by the Democratic party, The
great difficulty lay in the unwise policies and
enactments of the Harrison administration. and
the speaker had sufficient confidence in the in
telligence of the representatives of the people
to believe that some practical plan would be
adopted to relieve the present depression. The
voice of the people was heard on the tariff SUBJ
ject last November, and the pet measure of the
Republican party will be attended to in due
time. In the meantime, it has devolved on
| Democratic Congress to undo, as far as possible,
the evil brought upon the finances OF the coun-
| try by the Republican administration. This he
believed would be wisely and patriotically done
The convention then proceeded to the election
of delegates, and made choice of the following
gentlemen:
Hon. D. c. Goldman. Ravenna:
I. 81. Phelps. Esq. Ravenna;
james Armstrong. Kent;
Peter Arighi. Kent
Elmer Carrier. Brimfeld;
G. II. Crafts Garrettsville.
Alternates were then chosen as follows:
Il. L. Scarf. Ravenna;
NJ. Fl. Davis. Kent;
Clinton Young, Hiram;
6ilas Eldridge, Mantua;
Fred. Geidlinger. Sufield:
II. II. Woolf. Atwater.
The delegates go to the convention uninstruct-
ed, unpledged, and uncommitted. They are fol
the best and most available man, whoever he
may be.
On motion of DR.. Proctor, the present Coun-
ty Executive Committee was continued to the
next County Convention, after considerable
discussion.
After number of delegates had been heard
from relative to the best plan to adopt with ref
erence to the Central Committee, 1. T. Siddal
made motion that the next County Convention
select County Central Committee, to be COM
posed of one member from each township
making total of 2I. and that the persons thu
elected be, by virtue of their office, Chairme1
of their respective Township Committees. Til,
motion was carried.

Council Proceedings.

Council met in August-or august-session.
Monday night. The principal business transact
ed was the passing of the pay ordinance. The
principal business not transacted was considers
BILE, if not more. One of these latter items was
the failure to allow L, H. Bean $500 for alleged
damages to one of his horses that fell into an
improperly filed water ditch on South Freedo M
street, some time last June. The matter was
placed in the hands of the Street Committee and
Solicitor. to confer with Mr.. Bean or E. W. Max
son, Esq his attorney, who presented the claim
| to the Council. Another one was the tabling of
a proposed ordinance to regulate street excava-
| tions for the purpose of tapping gas and water
| mains. The ordinance provided for a written
permit to be granted by the Mayor or Street
| Commissioner. to every person who desired to
| make any such excavation. Itwas thought best
to postpone the adoption of the ordinance until
the next session. in order to inquire more fully
into the legal rights of the parties concerned.

In several instances the rays had to

General jackson was then a lieutenant
of artillery, commanding section
composed of two guns In certain
action he was ordered to occupy GER
tain position and open fire upon the
enemy. His two guns were started
for the place, which was very exposed,
and before reaching it he saw that he
could rot remain there ten minutes
without losing every horse and man
he had At the same time he saw that
by moving some 800 yards away his
fire would be more effective. But his
orders to open fire must be obeyed, SO,
roaching the designated position, the
two guns were fired Then they we're
limbered up and moved to the new po-
sition, and fire was opened in earnest
and with effect.
