COR MAN REPUplATED
Action Of the Carroll County, Nd,
Democracy.
A Lively Session Of the Convention at
westminster-D. n. Henning In.
dOrsed for Congress.

"A livery meeting OF the democracy OF
Carroll county, Maryland. was held yester-
day at Westminster. In Congressman Tai
bolts district, at which resolutions were
adopted indorsing the administration and
denouncing the course Of the Maryland Sen
ators In the tariff bill dispute in Congress.
The convention adopted the following res
olutions without a dissenting voice:
''The democrats Of Carroll county, in con-
vention assembled. again assert their faith
in the wisdom, prudence and transcendent
ability Of Grover Cleveland. and stand with
him in his efforts to eradicate the last
vestige of protection from the statute
books"
The solution declares that the new law
Is long step away from the Mckinley law,
and proceeds:
I'VE hereby record our disapproval of the
action OF the Senate in ENGRAVING on the
Wilson bill legislation in the interest of
trusts and monopolies, and we especially
repudiate the course Of Senators German
and Gibson therein, and declare that they
are unfit to longer represent the democracy
Of Maryland or the country in the national
legislature.
And We further repudiate German meth
DDS and Gormanism in this state that de-
MES to the public the right to control their
own affairs. and are undemocratic, unpa-
triotic, and, If allowed to be continued,
will result In disaster to the party. There
must be no step backward, and the demo-
cats of Carroll promise hearty cooperation
with President Cleveland in redeeming the
party pledges. and as guarantee Of their
fidelity offer to the democracy of this con-
gressional district as a fitting nominee
David N. Henning of Westminster, an orig
inal Cleveland supporter at the national
convention. a ah
since, and one of the most earnest and ad-
vanced of tax reformers, and to cast their
Votes at To on for no one who does not
indorse these declarations,
I'VE pledge him our loyal support and
earnestly recommend him to the delegates
chosen Sy this convention to labor for his
nomination.
I'VE declare that it is the sense OF this
convention, and We recommend 1t for adop-
ton by the second congressional convention
that the United States Senators should be
elected by the direct vote of the people"
The resolutions were adopted amid rous-
ing cheers and cries for Cleveland and Sen
ator Bennett.
At the mention of President Cleveland's
name the crowd yelled with delight, and
feet and hands were largely in the game"
When the names of Senators German and
Gibson were mentioned there was a mixture
OF cheers and Kisses.
The last clause of the resolutions. calling
for the election Of Senators by the people,
seemed to be the exact sentiment of the
assembage for the convention and specta-
tors rose and cheered; hats went up in the
air and shouts of Good! Good!' could be
heard all over the hail.
= Robert Sellman of Mt. Airy district said,
In opposition to indorsing Mr.. Henning: II
wish to speak in unmistakable tones. No
man is a greater tariff reformer than am.
Free wool, sugar. iron, coal, and. in fact,
nothing could be made too free for me. But,
Mr.. Chairman, no man has given more evil
dence or has gone further than Mr.. Talbot.
He even went further than President Cleve-
land himself"
The crowd broke loose and hissed. Mr..
Sellman, turning to the rear of the hall,
said: Il Will wait until you get through"
Resuming. he said: when the caucus was
called and the President recommended that
Congress should acceie to the Senate hill,
Mr.. Talbot even then voted to stand firm"
AS Mr.. Sellman took his seat the chair
man of the convention said: This is not
divorce the party from his influences: not
only from him, but from every man " no
sustains him.
Where is he in it? l say he is not It,"
said Mr. Sellman.
He is in 1t and his henchmen are here
doing his bidding" the chairman replied.
At this reply the crowd gave vent to their
feelings by yells and feet stamping.
The vote was taken by districts and the
Henning delegates received 40 votes and the
opposition ~ votes. being the entire vote of
the five districts which they controlled
The opposition to Henning gave up the
fight Saturday night. but hoped to be able
to stave off any resolutions which might
prove diStasteful to MIR. German, and 1t
was stated that a request was made not to
have any personal illusions.
