struck at our President and sought to
strike him down, they made the same
plea which the conspirators of old made

CENTREvTLLE, MD, July 24.-In the
Queen Anne's Democratic convention
to-day, the Brown element obtained
control, ard Mr.. P. b. Hopper was
asked to select the delegates to the
| Ocean City convention who will be in
| his favor for Congress. That this would
| be the result was foreshadowed by the
result in the primaries last Saturday.
| But there were ties and contesting dele
| cations to the county convention, and
the margin being small, it was feared
that something might occur TO counter
act the result at the polls. But it did
not so happen, and Mr. Hopper reaped
the reward of the victory. The dele
gates he selected to the Congressional
convention, which meets at Ocean City
Thursday, July Goth, are as follows:
Delegates = Olin Bryan, Charles
Mitchell, w. w. Busteed, James b.
Stevens.
