REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.
The Ticket Named I'm The Egis two
Weeks Ago Nominated by Ac-
cIamatiOn-CleVer Work
of the Managers.


The Republican County Convention met in
the Court House, in Bel Air, on Tuesday af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock. 1t had been advertised
| to convene at H. but was delayed on account
of a caucus of the delegates, at Odd Fellows
| Hail. Early in the morning there were ru-
mors afioat that unless fusion was agreed to
split in the convention was inevitable, and it
was the determination of the managers not to
have any more unpleasant actions such as
have marked the Republican Conventions of
late years. Therefore all were summoned to-
| gether and told if they had any dirty linen to
| wash, do it in private, and not in public AS
heretofore.
| Col. j. Thompson Frieze was chairman and
| kept excellent order in his usun urbane man
| ner.
| As soon as the caucus was called to order
Mr. W Scott Whiteford introduced resolu
ton ''Ihat d straight ticket be nominated"
| 1t received dozen seconds and was carried
with but three dissenting votes. Thus all of
| poor Mr.. Aliens hopes were vanquished in asin-
| gle second. A discussion as to the ACCESSIBILITY
of candidates took up the remaining portion of
| the caucus. For the State Senate every one
| favored Mr.. S. A. Williams with DIR. j. ii.
Cochran as second choice. committee of
six was appointed to wait on each candidate
and ascertain his wishes. About the Sheriff,
County Commissioner and one member of the
| House of Delegates every one was unanimous.
