n,,t the long hours of the convention.

nolI dressed and prosperous in ap-
mearance. Every district was fully
rronresented. 1t was strictly a con-
anton of the people. The most as
t,,+o nolitician in the county could not
love named single candidate on the

lots we're counted. Those authorized
~ name the candidates performed
this duty without let or h1ndrance
from any of the so-called leaders.
The ticket which the Democrats OF
carroll county are called upon TO sup
mort and elect is the result OF the best
iudqment of the men whom the voters
in t0e primaries elected to perform
thie task. and whatever disappolnt-
roon+g may be felt at the present time
on account OF the UmmiSSiOn OF GER
foin names from the ticket, and the
overlooking of certain districts, VIII
soon pass away, because no reason
abIn man will harbor feelings OF re-
vpnge or resentment when he is van
ouished in a fair fight in an open
fed.
