BY The Voters OF Worcester County.
II was generally conceded that the
Democratic convention which met in
Snow Hill last Monday had some knotty
problems to unravel ii it pleased all the
aspirants to places on the ticket, yet
the wise council that prevailed with
the delegates brought harmony out of
discord, and COMPOUNDED the opponents
of the Democracy of Worcester County.
In the language of the day everything
looked balled up" when the delegates
began to assemble in Snow Hill on
Monday morning, and pretty soon there
was scurrying around for position. There
was a spirit Of give and take manifest,
and a desire to nominate ticket that
would draw TO its support all elements
of the party. The delegates Of Cos
tons District desired the nomination of
Mr.. Ewell. and he was nominated. The
delegates of East Berlin asked for the
nomination of w. Lee Carey and Henry
J. Anderson, and they were accommo-
dated. The delegates from West Berlin
asked for the nomination of Mr.. Harri-
son, and the plum was shaken into his
hands. But let us get down to the
organization of the convention and its
