The above is the ticket nominated
by the Democrats in convention as
sembled in OAKLAND on Monday of
this week.
In its entire composition the name
of an organization member of the
party does not appear-they are all
anti-organization or members of the
HamiIl wing of the Democracy-''in-
surgents." as some of the delegates to
the convention styled themselves.
The insurgents also captured the
delegates to the State Convention by
the election of Messrs. Charles NJ.
Miller, Gilmor S. Hamill and William
Miller as representatives of CARROTS
Democracy in that body when it
meets next week in Baltimore when a
new State Central Committee is to be
appointed for Garrett county. This
committee the insurgents hope to
control but there are many influences
at work which may possibly become
a stumbling-b block in the way of this
scheme Undertaking. as the regulars
or organization Democrats have a
strong pull at headquarters.
The convention was called to order
by Dr. E. H. Bartlett, chairman of the
county committee, who stated the OBJ
iect of the meeting and in a short but
pointed speech made a strong plea
for harmony. He expressed himself
as being aware of the fact that a ma
iority of the delegates present were
after his official head and asked them
that the decapitatiOn be as painless as
possible
After a recess of ten minutes had
been taken nominations for tempo
rary chairman was declared in order
when Mr.. G. NJ. Miller, an openly
avowed "anti," and Mr.. VIM. a. Bry-
don, recognized regular, were nan
ed. Some contention as to the man
ner of casting the vote to decide who
should be the chairman, having been
raised, Mr.. William Miller made an
impassioned speech in which he de-
clared that he was the representative
of 'justice and right on the floor of
this convention and will speak here
until tomorrow morning or until
those two principles are recognized"
Mr.. Miller charged that two years ago
in making the selection OF chairman
many persons voted who had no right
to do so and thus elected Il presiding
officer dstasteful to the convention.
The speakers remarks were directed
to DIR. Bartlett personally who pre-
served dignified calm and replied in
quiet, gentlemarly manner, not
deigning to pick up the gauntlet so
boldly thrown doWA.
At this stage, when the convention
was in an uproar and trouble seemed
imminant with six to a dozen dele
gates on their feet at the same time
seeking recognition by the chair, Mr..
BrydOn poured oil on the troubled
waters by withdrawing from the con-
test for temporary chairman. Mr.. c.. |
NJ. Miller, of Swanton, was accorded
the election by reclamation and upon
assuming the chair launched forth IN
a TRADE against the negro, declaring
Maryland to be a white mans state"
and holding his hands up in horror at
the "black evil This ~ Garrett
county where there are less than fifty
negros all told, and from an intelli-
gent man.
Mr.. James \. Delawder, another
"antio delegate, from No. IA, was
elected secretary, which completed
the temporary organization.
A committee on credentials, resolu-
tions and permanent organization was
then elected, being composed of one
member from each district except No.
from which a contesting delegation
was present. Tbs committee was in
session for more than an hour. Dur
