impressive language his perfect confidence.
"a confidence which every enlightened Chris.
tan icels-in the triumph of the Scriptures

their multiplied and varied forms:
Attacked In all ages, attacked still the
Holy Scriptures will be- tho great object for
hostility In future generations. But YOU
know the symbol which our fathers loved

the anvil this motto
"The more strokes spent.
The more hammers rent"
Such is the history Of the written word Of
God.
Fear not then! you stood at the foot II

among mountains casts into the earth its i'm.

ants issuing from their little hill, toiling bor-
ing, digging, laying hold one ON u blade Of
grlss, another ON grain Of sand, would YOU
believe that Mont Blanc was ready to fall?
and would you deem 1t right that other puny
insects, such as we, should mako war

gantic Alps from being rnsed to the

efforts Of oil men who in all times, aud in all
places, have attacked the word Qf God, and
their combined strength amounts but to that
j am wrong; II Is much less. The IIoly
scriptures, when they are attacked by man,
do not run even the same danger as that to
which Mont Blanc Is exposed when an ant
assRils 1t. Christ Jesus has not only said 4;

affirmed that heaven and carth,' earth with

CAMBRIDGE, Nd, Aug. Is. - The
Republican state convention assembled
here today and nominated the follow
ing ticket by reclamation: For gov
ernor, Lloyd Lowndes, of Cumber
land; for attorney general, Harry NJ.
Clabaugh, Baltimore; for comptroller,
Robert P. Graham, Wicomic county.
The strength of the Lowndes element
was shown early in the proceedings
by the choice of John Rose for tempo
rary chairman. This was soon fol-
lowed by the formal withdrawal of the
name of William Master, who had
made canvas for the gubernatorial
nomina ton. LowndeS' nomination
was then made by a standing vote,
amid much enthusiasm. The other
candidates were nominated with lit
tie opposition, and the state commit
tee was appointed. The convention
adjourned at 4:30 o'clock, after being
in session a little over four hours.
The struggle among candidates, par
ticularly for the governorship, had
proceeded for weeks with fervor sell
dom before shown in the Republican
politics of the state. The town was in
gala attire today, and the main hotel,
were maintained, was covered with
bunting and devices setting forth the
merits of Lloyd Lowndes and William
t. Master, the two leading candi-
dates for the guhernatorial nomina-
ton. Prior to the assembling of the
convention the Lowndes element
claimed that their candidate would be
nominated on the first ballot. The
Master men made similar claims.
Ex-Congressman Mudds withdrawal
of Masters name was followed by
David N. Sloan's eloquent speech plac-
ing Lowndes in nomination. The
speech-making for Lowndes became
general, those who had hitherto op-
posed him joining in the encomiums Of
tered to him. No other nomination be-
ing made, a rising vote was taken and
LoWndes was declared the nominee
by reclamation. An enthusiastic dem
onstration followed the announcement.
The platform was presented late in
the day. The first planks deal with
reasse ssment OF property and
Indebtedness. The sixth plank is as
follows: THAT all the ingenious de-
vices by which the leaders of the hith-
erto dominant party in this state have
sought to prevent a free and fair eX-
preston Of the public will at the polls
shall be swept away" The succeeding
planks declare for control of election
ties; annual registration in Baltimore;
strict court supervision over election
officers, and the right of all parties to
place on official ballots"
