NOUS Gathering.

The Republican convention OF the SeconC
Congressional district, which is composed o.
Baltimore, Carroll and Hartford counties and
Fifteenth and Sixteenth wards Of Baltimore
city-in all twenty-one delegates-met at Tow
son at noon on Wednesday, August 9Th, and
nominated Mr.. Robert Garrett, of Baltimore
county, for Congress.
An effort was made by the delegates from
Hartford county to have Mr.. Edward NJ. Allen
nominated. and there was talk of placing the
name of ex- Congressman Baker in nomina-
ton The city wards and Baltimore and Car
roll counties stood firm for Mr.. Garrett and
Hartford was forced to give in.
The Hartford delegates opposed Mr.: CARROTS
nomination until the last, and in placing the
name of Mr.. Allen before the convention fig
ures were given to show that Mr.. Garrett was
not vote-getter in Hartford county.
Finally the name of Mr.. Allen was with
drawn and the nomination of Mr.. Garrett was
made by reclamation.

the Chicago convention when elected. as we feel
