DIR. Frooke declined to sign the call
for the county convention.
The two principal protests agains, the
slate as made up are concerning the
Senatorshp and nomination for Sheriff.
The delegates from the First and Second
districts are strongly in favor of Samuel
:. Hardy for Sheriff and declare they
will take no part in the proceedings II
he Is not nominate for that office.
They urge his nomination on the
ground that he won his fight fairly in the
primaries and no charges of fraud or
anything like it have been made against
him. In the Foulth district the sentiment
is said to be for MIR John M. Loney for
the House Of Delegates. as he also won
in the primaries. DIR X Alexander Ham

decline the nomination if named.
Mr.. CAN'T was in the fight in the
primaries for the State Senatolship. and
his being slated for States Attorney Is
not satisfactory to his friends. The con-
vention on Tuesday promises to be
lively one and there may be rear
rangement OF the slate.
