They NonUaete MeLcaa for Judge i aaaitnonaly Bad Lee Stanton for Sheriff After One of tho Uottemt Fight on Ktcord-Tha Resolutions-Filling the Other Place a. Th delegate to yesterday's Derno cratlo convention met with a dlsagree able surprise early in the morning. They found that there was very little money waiting for their votes, and many delegate who had Journeyed to the county seat with the fond expecta tion of getting handsome "rake off" from the candidates for his vote, found that he had come all the way for the sole pleasure of representing his friends and neighbors In the convention. There has probably been no Democratic con vention held for years in this city, where boodle played so little part as in yesterday's. The delegates found that Mr. McLean adhered firmly to his an nouncement that ie would not pay for the nomination, or Indulge In any scramble for t. but tf It were tendered him he would take It This made some of the boodlers hot. and for a while they ran around and tried t find another candidate, even proposing Iavy Potts, ttt : none appeared, and they were "force to te content with Mr. Mo Lea1 candidacy. In consequence, however, they were not very enthus lastto la setting around to the conven tion. Finally about 11.13 they got around to Musto Hall, where the con vention was held and business began. The arrangement were splend.1. Every delegate had a seat to himself, and the representatives of the pres were eeated on the platform, behind the anoersof the day, where there was plenty of room and light. The hall was decorated with American flags and pre sented' very pretty picture, being hong on all the chandeliers and fes tooned from the center to the boxes. The convention was called to order by County Chairman John Smoulter, jr.. and after the roll call had beon read, as well as ' the convention call, the chairman appointed the following com mittees: Organisation John ITcOahren.

Kress ler, jmseuted them as follows: Wbraaa, It has been proved by long fears of experience and trial of both par ties tn power, that a Democratic control ci the administration of public trusts In Luserne county has been toth economical and just, therefore In view of the extrava gance and recklessness displayed in the expending; and proposed expenditures of poblio moneys both by the Republican of ficials tn control of the financial affairs of this great county, w call upon the voters of this county to give them a fit t tag. rebuke by returning again to power the Democratic party who has proved Its honesty and ability la the past, and hereby pledge its eandldatas to an honest, faith ful performance of the duties of the sev eral offices to which they aspire. Resolved, We, the Democratic conven tion ff Luserne county, In convention as sembled, recognise In the wonderful re vival of Industries everywhere, especially In the great state of Pennsylvania, the truest vindication of the benefit of the Democraio tariff policy. Resolved, That we have more reason ban ever to approve and applaud the wis dom or President Cleveland in adhering to political doctrines that Insure against national disaster, as already revealed In the operation of the Democratic tariff, and which, are, as we beHeve, Involved tn his demand for sound money and an honest cerrenoy. Resovled, That the leguslature of Penn sylvania recently assembled proved by Its selfish extravagance In providing for Re ; publican place men; in Its refusal to enact n apportionment law; Its defiance of con stitutional demands, and its neglect to pass upon many measures that would have ' cheered good and patriotic cltlsens, most recreant to. the trusts committed to Its ' kResorred.' That the Democrats are in a majority in the great county of Luserne, and that by presenting a united front to - the enemy; we ahall win a substantial vie ' tory, especially since the county Is able to understand the Important part played by the Democracy in the restoration of better times and' In the general prosperity and confidence." ' ' Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to a firm, loyal and unyielding support of ' the ticket this day nominated, promising to use oaf best Influence to secure the election of every candidate, to the end i. that Democrats may be restored to their . own ta Lassrne county, and the party tans duly honored.

"Yank" Tighe. who contested the seat of Joe Hurt la the Fifth ward, claimed that Hart was not a resident of that ward. The report had been adopted, .however, and "Yank" was promptly called down by Chairman O'Boyle. After a few substitutions had been made, the chairman calk-d for nomina tions for the Judgvehlp. Colonel T. R. Martin then rose and. In a brief, well wcarded speech, nominated William 8. McLean, who. he eakl. Is one of the ablest lawyers at the Luserne county bar, and would fittingly grace the bench of Luxcrn eounity. Tho nomination was meoondttl, and E. F. StcGovern, esq., promptly moved that the nominations clcf .. before any thers could be made. Jm Hittenineyer vigorously objected to th!3, but wa called to order by -the rhalrmnn, and nearly hail a lit before he could bo quieted. When Joe had been silenced Mr. McLean's nomination was niaik unanimous. Mr. U'ltoyle then called for nomlna tlore fvr sherlfT. "A d-legate from Wllkce-Ikvrro township jumped up and nmlnateif Lawrence Casey, and George Bohnn nominated A. Lee Staivton, w.hose name was received with applaus?, gere?rour.ly Lmterminsled with biases. W. F.

He nuil k ivch tndonalng Mr. Dotter, and Kt very noisy. He was drunk, and hi effusion was frequently Inter rupted by oWier delegates, whereupon Mr. Hlttcinmeyer would turn around, t?H hta irtterrupter to "shut up," and go on with his speech. Finally a unan imous protect came from tho other del epates, and Mr. Klttenmeyer was taken in hand by ai policeman, and given his choice between sifting down and keep ing qu!'X or being thumped. Joe sat downt and It wns five minutes before he broke out again, Attorney 'Michael Cannon, In a brief address, nominated C. Bart Sutton, whose name was welt received; and the red-headed and hopeful Carman of Namticoke, nominated Rudolph C. Hitchler, of that place, for the honor. In the best political address of the day. Attorney S. S. Harring theru made a rpeech for Stanton, which was fre quently Interrupted by the delegates, who told him to "break it off," "go hire a hall for yourself," etc., but Mr. Her ring was never phased', and contined to the end. Then a delegate from Pitts ton got up and In a long speech nominated Thomas English, of Plttston. EMr. English had made no effort to secure delegates and when bis name was proposed, got up on the platform and yelled: "Not on yer life. No honors fer me today." His name w-as received with great applause, but though his frienda made a vigorous effort to get Mr. English before the con vention, he would not hhve it, and the first ballot was taken with the follow ing result: Stanton 70' 4 Dotter 67 Sutton 3i4 Hltchler 30 Brenner 26 Casey 17 Total vote cast, 244, necessary to a choice, 123. During; the roll call a delegate called attention to the fact that two votes had come out of the gallery, and that one of them was Illegal. If this was to continue, the delegate said, the whole gallery would get into the game and vote too. The chairman then said that no more votes from the gallery would be accepted, and the vote continued. According to the rules of the con vention the name of the lowest candi date was dropped. Casey's name was withdrawn in favor of Dotter. The second ballot was as follows! Stanton M'4 Dotter A M Sutton 87 Hitchler 2 Brenner 23 Mr. Brenner's mame was dropped ac cording to the rules, and the roll call was proceeded with on the third ballot, this one resulting follows: Stanton , Dotter , 100 .. 60 Sutton Hitchler 4 30 Total 230 Before the fourth ballot was taken C. Hitchler, whose name was to be dropped according to the rules, came to the platform amVl thanked all those who tiad voted for htm, and pledged himself to work for the ticket during the campaign. He was received with applause, and when some one yelled, "How "will your delegates ?" there were bowls of "Dotter, Dotter," from all parts of the hall. By this time a large number of the delegates had left the hall, and the Interest though stlU intense, had somewhat waned. The re sult of this ballot was as follows: Stanton 112 Dotter 75 Button CO Total votes 237 This was the liveliest ballot of the day, and there was a scene of disorder such as a Democratlo convention alone Purifies and Beautifies the Skin by restoring to healthy activity the Cloooeo, Irritated, In- FLAilED, ' 5LIKKH5H, br Overworked Pores. can furnish. About halt the delegates were on their feet all the time yelling like mad for the officers to "put 'int out." Chairman O'Boyle stood on the platform and played a lively tatoo on the block with his gravel, which was about the sise of a bung starter. He couldn't make himself heard amid) the confusion, and Mr. Garman remarked consolingly: "Oh. It's all right. Peter. I had it myself the same way last year." Finally the officers got a good grip on Joe Rittenmeyer and put htm out of the house. A wordy debate fol lowed between Mr. Callary, of Nantl coke, and a delegate from the same town, during whltro ths delegate of fered to "smash" Mr. Callary, and re ceived a forcible invitation to come over and proceed with the "smashing." For a while it looked like a free fight, but finally the noise of the gavel tri umphed, and order was restored. On the final ballot 8utton's name was dropped, and the ballot resulted as fol lows: Stanton 12S Dotter 103 A yell went up when the vote was announced and Mr. Stanton was de clared the nominee. After the nomination for sheriff was out of the way, the convention degen erated into a regular farce. Nomina tions for Recorder were called for, and amid much confusion C. It. Boyle, of Plttston, and John F. Maloy, of Free rand, were nominated. The ballot re sulted as follows: Maloy ltoylv .....134 .... 75 Maloy was declared the nominee, and Mr. O'Boyle called for names for con troller. J. K. P. Fenner, of Ashley, Frank "McCormlck. of AVtllkes-Barre. and P. F, Herron, were put In nomina tion. The vote was as follows: Fenner lis McCormlck 36 Herron got somo votes, Hut his count was lost In the shuttle, and though 'his friends howled vigorously, they could not overcome the "whack, whack" of Mr. O'Boyle's gavel and were forced to be content. During the vote for coroner, the situa tion got worse instead of better, and a long series of verbal lights took the place of nominating speeches. Finally one disgusted delegate jumped to his feet and announced in thunder tones that "he'd be If he'd vote In any such convention," and fled from the hall, accompanied by about a dozen sympathisers all expressing very forc ible but equally Impolite opinions about the chairman and his way of doing business, the machine, etc. Finally by performing a vigorous concerto with the gavel, Mr. O'Boyle got silence enoutrh to call the roll and the vo'.e was announced as follows: Perkins BS Butler 15 Renntman 13 Lewis 2 Jim Crockett was nominated for county surveyor by acclamation, and the committee who went to find Mr. McLean, reported that they could not find him, and the liveliest convention ever held In Wilkes-Barre was declared adjourned, COMMISSIONER AND EDITOR. Ths Former Wants to Fight, bnt the Let ter Won't Wait to Be Pnnohed. Tester day morning a funny scene was enacted over in it he court house yard. Commissioner Smith, it seems, has been receiving a lot of abuse from the Ha xleiton Sentinel, and yesterday morn ing, when he saw Jack McCarthy, edi tor of that paper, in (the yard the mem ory of the Insults came back to him and made him aa toot as some of the "roasts" he had received from Jack. Nw, tt so happens that the commls stoner Isfta scrapper, and It also happens that the editor 4a not So, therefore, when Mr. Smith wwtttzed up to Mr. Mc Carthy and pulled ft his coat, with the comforting remark that he (Mr. BmttW) Intended to lick him (Mr. McCarthy) unittl the tetter's mother wouldn't know him without identification, Mr, McCar thy, believing Cervantes remark, that "dlooretton is the better part of valor," fled. He went &t great r.peed, end Mr, Sm'jtih, with his short legs, Instantly recognized the futility of pursuit, and sat down on the court house deer to talk the matter over. Mr. Smith says he has been unmerci fully abused by Mr. McCarthy, and couldn't etand It when ihe saw the au thor of this uncomfortable advertising. The commissioner is a pretty etocky man and a good athlete, and it is likely thoit he could have thrashed (McCarthy soundly. Jack probably felt this way, too. But he may be comforted. Th way he covered ground yesterday shows beyond the peradventure of a doubt that McCarthy need not fear punish ment fro Smith when they meet again, if he only sees the commissioner first.

Louis Armand, Prince of Contl, was an ill-made Httle man, and was always absent-minded. When It could be least ex pected, he would fall over Jils own walking-stick. The folks In the palace were po much accustomed to this in Louis the Thirteenth's time that they used always to say, when they heard anything fall: "It's nothing; only the Prince of Contl tumbling down." At a masked ball tn Paris, some one who had dressed himself tike the Prince of Contl, and wore a hump on his back, went and sat beside him. "Who are you, mask?"asked the prince. The other replied, "I am the Prince of Contl." Without the least Ill-temper, the prince took oft his mask and, laughing, said, "See how a man may be deceived. I have been fancying for the last twenty years that I was the Prince of Contl." Argonaut. Relief In Six Honrs.
