Expanding demand at advancing

OF the trade. as conducted on modern

product been greater, and the manufac-

mountain labored and brought forth

It didn't know whether to laugh or

was indicted for completely in the Do

feeling i'll at case in such distinguished

has performed has been to hustle
around hunting department jobs for

promoting his chances for a reelection

plank in the Democratic platform is
this:
The delegates to the Democratic
state Convention knew that the people
knew that in event of the election of a
Democratic Legislature It most likely
would return Mr. Kenney to the United

best of a bad situation, IL turned its

Deprived OF our equal constitutional

carefully conserved by our sole repre-

And the people smiled back mean

The optimistic interview given by MI

The Democratic County Convention
to-day nominated James b. Tomaa, Of
New Castle, for clerk Of the peace and
Victor b. Woolley. of Wilmington, for
prothonotary. The meeting was any
thing but a harmonious one, and its
work has led to much bitterness.
Charles c. Kurtz was turned down for
clerk Of the peace, although he was the
only candidate of the German-Ameri-
can element in the field, and his
friends, who had contended that he
would poll the votes Of many German
Americans who are Republicans,
scarcely know what to say in their dis
appointment. One of the pleasing tea-
lures of the convention was the sum
mary manner in which it disposed of
John +. Callahan's candidacy fer pro-
thonotary. Out OF seventy votes he re-
ceved but five, and the men who voted
for him owe their party and the people
an apology. There was a movement on
foot among the radical Free Silver men
in the convention to defeat Mr.. Wool
ley because he was an anti-Bryan man
four years ago, but the Gold Democrats
served notice on the Bryanites that if
they attempted to raise that issue they
must expect it to carry all along the
line, and the Nebraskan's follower;
were frightened Off.
