HOLLIS COURTNEY, JR., Secretary.

The intense rivalry of the large
city dailies leads to novel methods of
obtaining news. The New York Even
ing World obtained its report of the
yacht race last Saturday between the
Defender and the Vigilant by placing
a reporter in balloon and raising it
one thousand feet above sea level
The reporter was also telegraph op-
orator, and a wire was stretched from
the balloon directly to the World Of
fee. Although the Defender won
by only two minutes and forty-five
seconds, the whole account of the race
was in type few seconds after the
Vigilant crossed the goal.

The Car of Russia is pressing
Chiua's interests in the East. Russia
is averse to Japan's securing any of
China's territory and is urging the
withdrawal of all japanese troops
from the captured ports. France and
Germany favor Russian interference,
but England is holding off, and will
likely assist Japan, if Russia becomes
too aggressive. 1t is a question
whether Japan, on her own territory,
could not take care of herself against
the coalition.

THE CONTENTION SYSTEM.

At the head of to-morrow's ticket
for the Democratic Primaries is seen
For the Convention SYSTEM" and
Against the Convention System, Zone
of the two lines are to be marked off
to indicate the voters choice.
Since 1871 the Democrats of Hartford
county have been nominating their
candidates by the Crawford County
System, the one employed tomorrow.
The evils of this system are many, and
far outweigh the good point which re-
commended it to the Democrats of the
county at that time.
The results of the last local election
in Hartford should convince the Demo
Gratis that it will be wise to give the
Convention System trial, at least.
The natural inclination to hold fast
to the old, and the hesitation usually
felt in trying something new should
not deter any one from voting against
system of nomination which has
proven itselfso utterly ill-fitted for the
purpose for which it is intended as has
the Crawford County System.
Nominations are only means to an
end, and no matter what may be said
in favor of the present system, if it
stirs up personal feeling and preju-
dices that do not heal over before
election day, and that resul t in the de-
feat of the regularly nominated candi-
dates, then this system is radically
wrong.
Montgomery county is the only one
in the State of Maryland besides Har-
ford that does not have the Convention
System.
The Crawford County System has
been abolished by the county in
Pennsylvania from which it takes its
name. This system is as old as primi-
tive republics. When the Roman Re
public was founded the people met in
the Forum to elect their rulers. AS the
population increased, this method
was abandoned as unwieldly, and the
plan of electine delegates was substi-
tuted. The Convention System was
natural growth brought on by ne
cessity. Hartford county has over sew,
en- thousand voters, and the time has
come when this relic of the past should
give place to the almost universal
plan-the Convention System.
The arguments that are raised
against the Convention System are
arguments against republican form
of government. There is not repub-
lie existing to-day that does not use
the Convention System.
The candidates for all our national
andState offices are nominated by this
system, and it is illogical and imprac,
ticable for the Democrats of Hartford
to hold fast any longer to a plan OF
