The celebration of the victory ofthe Orioles
or some other cause must have prevented
the Baltimore newspapers getting either the
full or correct proceedings of the I'd Con-
gressional District convention last Tuesday.
None of them seemed to get on to the fact
that the hardest and most earnest fight OF all
the Congressional conventions this year went
on there.
Mr.. Grouse forced the committee on resolu
tons to abandon their cut and dried ones,
and reform them into a shape stronger than
any that had been adopted by any conven-
ton, save that of Carroll county.
Mr.. Shrver's speech, too, on the resolu-
tons, substituted for those of the committee,
which were those passed at the rsrroil con
vention, was badly,ereported. Mr.. Shriver
said that he never believed German a
Democrat; that whilst member of the
State Senate he had voted for him at
the request of the majority of his party,
but he predicted that German would become
the Malone of the Democratic party of
MARYLAND; and when his prediction was full.
filled, he had denounced him over his own sig
nature in a Baltimore paper four years since;
that German had never done anything for his
party or his people, unless it was the service
rendered against the Force bill, and in that
he would give him credit; that, he, Cor
man. had openly allied himself with the Sugar
Trust to defeat his party, had insuted the
Chief Executive, and when the people of this
State by public meetings, committees, and as
individuals plead with him to pass the Wilson
bill for the good faith of the party promises,
German treated them with the naughty con-
tempt of a master instead Of servant; that
German had openly insulted the whole
Democratic party of Maryland. when he said
that the enactment of the Australian
ballot law would turn the state over TO the
Republicans, thereby clearly implying that
fair elections would show that the state had
only been Democratic through frauds, and
that such statement has been proved false
and a SANDER against the Democratic party.
Mr.. Shriver insisted that Germans mem.
bership ON the National Committee placed
him as a leader of the party in the state, and
therefore he was in issue in every formal
meeting of Democrats; and having proved
recreant to his trust and his party, he
should be treated as any other faithless
servant Mr.. Shriver's speech enthused the
audience and was received throughout with
marked approval.

Free wool by the new tariff bill has resulted
in great reduction in price of all wooden
goods. Henrietta cloths that sold last year
for 80 cents yard can now be bought for 80
cents. Blankets that last year sold for S.. 90
a pair, can be bought now for $500, and
cheaper grades that sold for $500 last year
are now $3.50. Ask at any dry goods store in
Westminster and you will learn that these
figures are correct.

rains the rivers Sagua, Yabu, Yabusito and May
aneya flooded the surrounding country aud inun-
dated the towns of Sagua Creces. Lajas, sitiesito
and San Domingo. At sagua the water was from Is
to IS feet deep and 5000 families are homeless and
the inhabitants sought salvation on the roofs of the
two-story buildings, which alone are not under
water. The loss of life is estimated at 200. while
the damage to property will reach S,0OoOoO Some
20 houses were destroyed and 200 more were badly

Had Mr.. Robinson, of Hartford county,
agreed 10 stand for the nomination for Con
gress in this district, he would have been
chosen instead of Mr.. Talbot. The delegates
from Carroll and Cecil were ready to support
him at the convention on Tuesday, and their
nine votes added to the five from Hartford
would have given him the nomination.

Mr. Alexander H. Robertson was useful
man at the Baltimore conventions last Tues.
day. He made the nominating speech for
Mr.. Kerr for Judge, and little later seconded
the nomination of Mr.. Cowen for Congress.
He will probably be made States Attorney
for Baltimore or be sent to the State Senate

The Baltimore SIN, it will be observed, has
let mp on German. Was its mouth closed by
the promise of the nomination of Cowen +?
Just as Governs mouth was closed, after he
had kicked so hard that he got clear over into
a Republican convention, by the promise of
the passage of the Belt Railroad bill.

The Baltimore Ners calls the convention
that nominated Charles 6. Kerr for Judge of
the new Baltimore city court, ring cut and

Cowen, but that was all right. Some people
think ring is good thing when they are in
it. or when it goes their way.
