The main work Of the day was
at Misunderstanding the delegates.
1t was here that the harmony pre-
vailing was slightly disturbed by
a trifling incident. Mr.. Hargett
read a list of names from a pa,
per and moved that they be APP
pointed. DIR. Beatty, Of Middle
town, opposed this proceeding
and moved to amend by hav-
ing each district select its own
delegate. This was done and all
was serene again. After the del
egates were selected Mr.. +. j.
Nelson offered a resolution to re-
affirm the Chicago platform. Mr.
! Nelson's own and another vote
were all that were received and ii
was defeated.
The resolution Of DR.. Downey
naming the delegates to the State
Convention was simply the result
of a conference with the various
delegations of the county. Here
tofore members have been named
az delegates to the State Conven
ton, but on the day Of the con
vention few were in attendance
In the districts where there was
more than one person anxious tC
go to Baltimore, the district, as
in BuckeyStown where there was
more than five names presented
