Mr.. Charles NJ. Miller, and Mr.. Charles

The usual committees were appointed
which reported, sea ting the delegates
elected without contest from any of
the districts, all of which, with the ex-
ception of Nos. 3, and II, were repre-
scented. The committee on resolutions
reported as follows:
The Democrats of Garrett county in
convention assembled for the purpose
of presenting to the voters of their
county ticket to be voted on the 2nd
day of November, are animated by but
one idea, VIZ: to present such names as
will meet with the cordial endorsement
OF their party and of all conservative
voters OF the county With this idea in
view and animated by but one sole pur-
pose, the future of our county, it is
hereby
Resolved, That we endorse the Dem
ocratic administration of public affairs
in Maryland and the platform adopted
by the Democratic convention held in
the city of Baltimore August llth; and
Resolved, further, That we heartily
endorse and pledge our support to the
Constitutional amendment.
Resolved, That we are in favor of
revision of our present primary election
law, especially that part which places a
tax on delegates to conventions and
candidates named by conventions.
Resolved, That as true Democrats
we leave this, our preliminary work, to
90 to our homes and inspire our people
with firm resolve to carry our banner
to victory.
Immediately after the adjournment of
the convention the delegates attending
it left town and no expression could be
had concerning political conditions in
ether parts of the county, but it is pref
ty generally conceded that the ticket
named will be wholly acceptable to the
regular Democrats. This condition IS
counterbalanced, however, by the atti-
tude of the anti throwing forces, who
are opposed to anything that has
been or may hereafter be done by the
regulars Indeed, it is currently re-
ported that one of the big moguls of
the alleged peoples propaganda made a
proposition to Mr.. Thomas J. johnson,
the Democratic Senatorial nominee,
that the regular Democrats adjourn
their convention until after the peoples
ticket is in the field and then the regu-
lars endorse it. If this be true. and
there is every reason to give credence
to the report, it would be well for the
dissatisfied Republicans to think twice
before lending their assistance in plac-
ing third ticket IN the field which has
for its sole object the furtherance of
the interest of branch of the Demo-
cratic party.
