why Was It Done !?

The Republican Convention for this county
last Monday nominated two Federal office
holders as candidates for the House of Dele
gates-Dr. Harry F. Baer, one of the United
States Examining Surgeons for this county,
and Mr. Charles j. Fl. Ganter, Superinten-
dent of the Manchester Postal Station. Rural
Free Delivery, and letter carrier for the town.
Surely there was more than one delegate in
that convention who was cogaizant of the
provisions of the Constitution of the State as
to the qualifications of the members of the
General Assembly, or was it another case of
Throwing tub to the whale For the edi-
fication of those who managed that conyen-
ticn we quote Section 10, Article 3, of the
Constitution of Maryland which says:
''No member Of Congress, or person hold
ing any civil, or military Office under the
United States, shall be eligible as Senator,
or Delegate; and if any person shall after his
election as Senator or Delegate, be elected to
Congress, or be appointed to any office, civil,
or military, under the Government of the
United States, his acceptance thereof, shall
vacate his seat.

If the reports of the various Republican
conventions held in this State last Monday are
correct, as given in the BALTIMORE American
of Tuesday, that party has unanimity and
harmony to burn. In Allegany county the
session "Was Stormy One,n but the Pearre-
Lowndes faction won. In Howard county
'sthere was confusion over the selection OF the
county central committee, which almost ter
minated in a decided break among the dele
gates before the matter could be adjusted.
In Montgomery county there was hard fight
between the friends of Capt. John Macdonald
and the Gould faction. j. b. Adams of the
Macdonald faction stating in open conven-
ton ssthat the ticket had been cut and dried
before the convention had been organized.
At one time it seemed as if there would be
free for all breach. In Talbot county the
Mullikin faction withdrew because their de-
mands were not complied with. In Baltimore
county the Blakeney men were in control,
and to casual observer all was harmony until
the nomination Of sheriff took place, when DR..
Purnell F. Sappington presented the name of
Joseph P. Griffin, of the Ninth district, he said
that Mr. Griffin came to the convention in
dorsed by loyal Republicans who did not
'bow to the dictates of boss or submit to
the lash of anyone 1t is needless to say
that Mr.. Griffin was not nominated. Alto
gether the Republicans will have lots of trou-
BILE to heal before the 9th of November.
