Convention Echoes.
The Washington Post, during the
recent Congressional Convention held
in Frederick INDUCED in some re-
marks at the expense of the Garrett
delegation which we reproduce be-
low:
DIR. Robert A. Ravenscroft, of Gar
rett, the avowed candidate from that
county, mingled much with the dele
gates, sandwiching talk of politics
with stories of the splendid foX-hunt-
ing in that locality. An affable man,
well-read, and bright in conversation,
his staunch friends are by no means
confined to his home county. Gar
rett has never had a member of Con
gress, although the county has always
gone republican on Congressional
years, with two exceptions. Once the
county gave a democratic majority
of one, and once it gave a democratic
majority of two. The Garrett dele
gates, who include some of the best
farmers and business men of the
county, urged this record diligently
in behalf of their candidate. They
declared they would stick to DR. Raw
enscroft to the bitter end. and an
nounced it stoutly on every occasion
The persistency with which the
Garrett delegation has pushed the
markable. There are eighteen of
IleIu Nll1l IIiItt NOltS. DuJ ali are
representative men, and have repealed
all invitations for an alliance for other
candidates. When the rest of the
convention is tired out up pops Rev.
Mr.. Rudisill, tall, slender, rather
nervous of temperament, but a rapid
talker, in spite of the rural appearance
that his bushy, black whiskers give
him. Then those eighteen business
men-there isn't a hanger-on among
them-yell like school boys. One
man among them has a queer brown
voice, and he always concludes the
symphony with his own peculiar kind
of solo.
Concerning the nominating speech
made by Mr.. George and seconded by
Mr.. Rudisill the Post said:
Fish Commissioner A. +. George
nominated DR.. r. \. Ravenscrnft, of
Garrett. He made good nominating
speech, emphasizing that since Gar
rett county was created it had voted
steadily republican, but never had
been granted member of Congress.
Rev l.. A. Rudisill, Methodist min
lister, seconded the nomination, and
he, too, made a brilliant political
speech, and the audience walked the
echoes by applauding his Scriptural
anecdotes. He pointed out that there
were forty-one of1ice-holders in one
ward of AlIegany county. He wanted
some of that in Garrett.
Immediately after adjournment the
Garrett delegation left Frederick for
Oakland. Arriving at Cumberland
the delegates repaired to a lunch
counter and whilst engaged in filling
the inner man the train pulled out,
consequently they did not arrive home
until on the early train Saturday
morning.
A Narrow Escape.

Ada E. Hart, of Groton, S. d. "Was

on my lungs; cough set in and finally
terminated in Consumption. -Four
