Republican primaries were held in several
counties on Saturday last and the conven-
tons on Monday In Frederick county the
fight was over the control of the state central
committee, and the losing side is sore over
their defeat
Prince Georges had an unusually hard
fight, between the Mudd and Coffin men.
The Mudd men won, and when asked tn speak
Coffin replied she had nothing to say. Mr.
Clagett, chairman of the state central COM
mittee. made brief, address, in which he
called particular. attention to the strong ticket
which the Democrats of the'county have placed
in the field, and hoped that the action of the
convention would be harmonious 10 both the
Belt and Perkins factions. and the ticket
named would thereby be triumphantly elected.
Delegates from two districts positively refused
to take part in the proceedings. There was
manifested anything but harmony in the ranks
of the party. some of the former leaders say
ing they will not support the ticket.
In Baltimore county there a regular
parrot and monkey time. the fight being
between the Ensor aud anti nsor factions.
We quote from the Baltimore American OF
Tuesday:
At the beginning of the convention. one Of
stormiest scenes ever enacted in the court
house took place. Peter Ruhl. of the Fourth
district. called the convention 80 order. at
1855 o'clock. In doing 50, he requested all
who were not delegates To r-tire outside the
railing of the courtroom. in order that peace
and harmony might prevail among the dele
gates. His request WAS ignored. Mr.. {.
Ross Mace. of the Twelfth district. nominated
Mr.. 4. A. Blakeney. of the Eleventh district,
as temporary chairman. and Henry ;. Jean,
of the Second district presented the name of
G. Ellsworth Upton. OF his district Baniel
Shamberger. of the Fifth district. acted as
secretary to Mr.. Ruhl When the nomIHa-
tions for temporary chairman wers closed. 3
