Here is a little story of the republican
county convention of 1899 hitherto
untOld-the convention at which the
majority of the present commissioners,
the States attorney and judges of the
Orphans Court We're nominated
After night of trading and buying
delegates at the Windsor and Queen
City hotels it was understood about
noon next day that the Pearre faction
had lost and the opposition had written
up slate for nomination on which no
time could be lost.
Led by a Mt. Savage fugleman, the
then dominating faction hurried to the
hall, and the convention was called to or
der with J. Bell as chairman. Hurry

mittee on credentials. This is costing
too much money" was the plant of Il
prominent figure. The committee
"hurried," but not fast enough. Be-
fore it reported the minority had sue
ceeded i'll buying part of the delega-
ton from Piney woods district, and
when nominations for commissioners
were called for Honest Joe Stottlemyer,
slated for one, found he was outlapped
and minority man chucked in his
place.
The result was announced. The
leaders in the overthrow of Honest Joe
at once started the cry-''goOd-by
joe" and good bye, joe becoming a
chorus, was kept up. much to the old
gentleman : modification and the ever
lasting shame of the younger members
of the convention.
Mr.. JOURNAL, while sitting at my

1000 feet above Honest Joe, and over 60
miles away, l imagine since the latest
appointment of Cumberland postmaster

Goodbye, Charlie, must leave you.

For you and our old friend, Dickcy,

know that these stories like 50 many

forced him at Santiago. Even if he had

have been the same. With half empty

filed and with vessels which were out

him to have assumed the aggressive
The only thing open to him would have
been run for home and the chances
are that he would have been caught or
brought to a standstiu by the exhaus-

But the vigilance of the blockade which
was maintained and the strength of the
btockading fleet left him no opportunity
to get away. All that he could do was
to save his and his eountry's honor.
He did that in the most gallant and
impressive manner. and he richly de-
served the recognition which he is now
reported to have received. He was not
responsible for the desperate situation
in which he was placed. When he re-
