COUNTY TICKET NAMED.
Convention at HaGerstOwn, Md.-Pecu-

Convention at HagerstoNn, Md.-Pecu-
liar Action on Civil Service.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
HAGERSTOWN, September II, 1889.
The republican county convention met in
the Hose Opera House in this city yester-
day, and was presided over by DR., V. NJ
Richard of Fairplay.
The committee on resolutions composed
of twenty-five members, one from each dis
trict in the county, and named by the dele
cations, reported simply an Endorsement of
the platform enunciated by the state con-
vention at Baltimore and the nominees of
that body-Lowndes, Goldsborough and
F'indlay.
Scott NJ. Wolfinger, who was the leader
or what has heretofore been known as the
Cook faction, offered an amendment to the
resolution, denouncing civil service in strong
terms. and calling for its repeal. This reso-
luton, 1t appears, had been offered in the
committee. and after a sharp debate had
been turned down. Immediately upon its
Introduction in the convention there was
ar uproar, and Mr.. Wolfinger was ruled
out OF order He finally got his resolution
before the convention and supported it
with an lmDaSsoned speech which was
wildly appla auded When 1t came to a vote
the resolution was defeated, by yeas 1O9:
nays H. At the republican convention
two weeks ago, when delegates were chosen
to the state convention, this same resolu-
ton was adopted amidst the widest en-
thusiasm by the same men (as they were
the delegates to both conventions), and
when Senator L. E. McComas was the
only one of the go delegates that opposed
its adoption.
The convention nominated the following
ticket State senator, c. D. Wagaman;
states attorney, Alex. R. Hagner; sheriff,
Bruce Zellers; county commissioners Isaac
Ankeney, Henry l.. Strife and A. E. Albert;
house of delegates, Charles G. Biggs Dan
iel w. Doub, Scott Wolfinger, George H.
Davis; orphans court Alfred Harnish,
Elias Cost and Cyrus Dellnger; surveyor,
Elmer Piper
For week or more past and up to the
hour of the assembling of the convention it
was rumored that ticket inspired by Sem
ator McComas and engineered by Charles
w. Adams a late doorkeeper of the T. S.
House of Representatives, had been made
up and would be forced through the con-
Vention. This angered the Cook W ofinger |
faction. and bad break was threatened |

MORE NEED OF THE AXE

The precinct in which Senator
Comlns voted did not give the Sill
yer ticket a single straight vote. Yet
Mr.. CoInins was Chairman of the
Committee on Platform and Resolu-
tons at the Silver Convention.
1t is evident from this that the axe
was not swung sufficiently at the last
meeting of the Central Committee
and that the work Of looping off the
heads of traitors should be continued
until the men who hold high positions
IN the Silver party are driven from its
ranks and made to herd with the
party that they support on election
day.
The plea is made against the action
that if we kick them out Of the party
we lose their votes.
How in the name of common sense
can we lose what we never had.
Such Men are in the party merely
to wreck it, like the Spanish spies
hanging about the powder magazines
during the war.
The presence OF Comins in the
Silver party is an insult to every sill
yer man.
He is now holding the office of
State Senator by virtue of having
refused to abide by the choice of the
Silver party of White Pine, who in
regular session nominated Sol. Hip
for the office of State Senator.
Coinins, instead of falling in line
aud supporting Mr.. Hip, ran indie
pendent and defeated him. Now lad
there been the slightest kind of party
organization in the Silver party,
COmlns would never have been al
lowed to hold a seat IN the Silver Con-
ventlOn at Reno, for he was clearly a
member of another party. But the
Silver Convention allowed him to take
a seat, made him the Chairman of the
Committee on Platform and he once
more played the old role of a polit-
lcal lively flea, as he delights in
doing. No one has ever been able to
successfully locate Comins in poll
tics, for like the fleeing border rufian

EEWLANDS AND RAILROADS

Newlands arraigns Stewart for vot-
irg for the Central Pacific funding
bill, by which the indebtedness of
t-e road was settled. The road is
compelled to pay the full amount of
Government subsidy with interest
thin ten years in equal annual in
stAllments. What more could be re-
q"ired?
But Mir. Newlands did not allude
to the Virginia and Truckee Railroad,
watch he controls, and requires every
erlploye to fight Stewart and support
him. This road formed the basis of
The Mills and Sharon fortunes. It
VS. built by Ormsby and Story coun-
tbs and the Co1nstock mining com
p MES. Ormsby contributed $500, 900,
S prey $500, 900, and the mining COM
p MES 1857, 900, which enabled Sharon
ard Mills to possess themselves of
the best paying road in the world
without the expenditure of a dollar
OF their wv money.
Mr.. Newlands did not explain why
his road charged three times as much
for Ike services as the Southern Pa
clHc. He did not tell the people why
the Virginia & Truckee Railroad
charges s. a ton for hauling coal from
Reno to Carson, thirty miles, while
the Onion and Central Pacific charge
on.y S. a ton for hauling the same
coal yer 500 miles. He did not
explain why the mint.uUm fares on
thc Virginia & T1uckee are six cents
a nile, which is more than double the
fa,es of any other road in the country,
ar perhaps in the world.
No explanation whatever was given
by Newlands of the exorbitant
charges Of the Virginia & Truckee
Railroad, 0 was any reason given
why the Of that road, who
are m~illionaires, have not been COM
PEELED to pay back to Ormsby, Storey,
and the Mining Companies the money
with which the road was built, with
interest, the same as the Central Pa
clfc was compelled to do. But he
grows exceedingly patriotic in his
hight against the Central Pacific.
What is most remarkable about this
aft If is that this fight is uew. New
lads was a friend Of the Central Pa
Diff, Railroad as long as the proprie-
tors of that road saw fit to assist him
TO 2e elected to Congress, but when
he got an idea that they preferred

turned patriotic and rallied against his
