In Withdrawing his name from the
consideration Of the republican conven-
tion for the senatorial nomination, Der
BY A. Lynch made q short speech saying
ell he was interested in was republican
success, and that he would work faith
fully for that and was willing TO subor-
dinate any private ambition he might

this fight il lost" he said. 1--WE won't
make another fight here very soon"

day, so he stated, from Charlotte Hall
to Point Lookout for the good of the
cause.
Senator Wilkinson's voice was fire.
queRtly heard in Tuesdays republican
convention. When Mr.. Ching moved
that the senatorial nomination be made,
viva voce, the senator protested that he
thought this an unusual proceeding
and that it had never been done in the
county. He said, "that up to the very
last moment he had understood from
the leaders that" But what he had
| understood was lost in Jim Jackson's
withdrawal of Mr.. Coad's name and the
Senator's subsequent nomination by &C
clamation. Near the conclusion of the
proceedings the Senator took the floor
and said that in talk with Mr.. Mudd

ton law might be taken to the Court of
Appeals and overruled. In such a con-
tingcncy the Senator thought il would
be the proper thing to adopt the profile
Of Lincoln for the Republican emblem.
Someone suggested that the State con-
ventior would attend to that matter and
the subject was dropped.
Raymond B. Birch. OF st. Inigo's, was
urged for the Republican nomination
for county treasurer. Nicholas Biscoe,
the old time colored leader of that dis
trict, backed him and proposed his name.
But Nick saw 1t was no 20 and made q
speech Withdrawing his candidate. he
said In part al see and Mr.. Birch sees
that the convention IL determined to
give the lst district no show. Some
men think the list district has no timber
for candidates, but they always come
round and want LIST district votes. Two
years ago, the young men 81. Inigo's
has named fought hard for republican
success, while some on the other side
who are getting the honors Of the con-
vention supported the democratic party.
Hereafter, 1t will be the duty Of st. Ini-
go's not to send delegates to the con-
vention. We have always stood the
brunt and two years ago went down in
defeat fighting hard for our party, while
some others who are now getting the
honors rejoiced at Democratic victory"
