SILVER MEN DEFEATED
An Attempt to Bar Out Gold
Candidates Squelehed By
the County Committee.

A well attended meeting of the Demo-
cratic County Committee was held in
Fischer's Hall last night. From the sew
eral committeeman encouraging reports
were received, and it is expected that be-
fore election day all the little party
squabbles that the Republicans are max
ing SO much of will have been settled
and a solid front presented for the local
ticket Arrangements We're completed
for the elective primaries, to be held next
Thursday night 1t is expected that there
will be contests and hot ones, but it is
believed that the defeated aspirants will
swing their constituents in line for the
successful men
This feature of last nights meeting was
the presentation of resolution by a Ho-
holzen member debarring any Democrat
from voting at the primaries or filing a
petition for a nomination who is opposed
TO Bryan and Sewall and the Chicago
platform. The resolution provoked the
liyeliest kind of a debate 1t being speedily
realized that the resolution was a blow
at Allan L. McDermott, the probable
Congressional nominee who is against the
Chicago platform. The resolution was
after a tedious talk put to a vote. Rob-
ert Davis remained in the back ground.
He spoke against the resolution and so
did a number of his friends The reso-
luton was beaten by vote of 81 to 49,

Leave the National Committee.

PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 12, 1854 To-
cal paper this morning says:-William f.
Harrfty, prior to the November election
and possibly within a few weeks. 1t was
announced yesterday, will voluntarily re-
tire from the National Committee not as
consequence of the narrow margin in
the Harrisburg convention that saved
him from compulsory retirement, but
from disgust with the party management
and platform.
Mr.. Harrity himself will not deny that
he contemplates resigning from the Ma
tional Committee. That he purposes so to
do. however, was generally asserted
among the delegates at Harrisburg.
rs there anything in the Harrisburg
story that you intend resigning as Ma
tiona1 Committeeman?'s Mr.. Harrity was
asked last evening
Il do not care TO say anything about
that just now" he replied, and he refused
to further discuss the matter.

BOSTON, Sept. 12 1s9s.-The Demo-

gates to the various conventions were
held IN this city last night. They were
as rule largely attended, especially those
in which there were contests. The count
ing of the ballots was slow and the full
returns We're not in until along in the
forenoon. The contest over the. State dele
cations was between tickets filed by the
regular ward committees and those put
in the field by the BfyanrSewall- Williams
Club. The latter maize a determined but
fruitless effort to secure control of the
wards. Mr. Williams had announced that
