the eighty odd districts of the county we are
entirely safe in saying - less thati one-half
wereeepresented. This small representa
tion accounts foe the harmony which 'pre-'
vaned, as had there been a full turn out of
the 44 unsotihisticated," the manipulations
of a certain set might have caused a row in
the camp, and the programme seriously in with. As fur as the action of' the
Convention Is concerned, it might have
been fOretold with entire correctness days
ago. The proceedings were merely formal,
and entirely devoid of that interest which
usually attaches to County Conventions.
Thomas J. Keenan, . Esq., Chairman of
the previous Convention, took the stand at
the appointed hour. He explained briefly
the object of= the Convention, and. stated
that in deference to the judgment of influ
ential members of , the, party it -had been

Mr. Thaw believed him substitute met the
approbation ofa majority of.the' .Conven

Mr. John Sawyer called for the question

The Convention then adjOrtrned to meet
at one o'clock.
Afternoon Session.
The Convention reassembled at one
o'clock, and the roll of delegates was called.
A delegate moved that D. H. Wi
late editor of the Republic, be substituted
for Mr. D. W. Mothoral, delegate from the
Sixth ward; Allegheny, who was absent.
' This caused considerable discussion:
Mr. Williams was charged with being a
"conservative," a member-of another or
ganization, which would probably meet in
a few days and make nominations.
Mr. J. H. Sawyer advooated the claims of
Mr. Williams. Ho said it was only neces
sary to read the call for the convention to
answer the objection. — Ail opposed to Rad&
calisin were invited to participate.
Finally'it was discovered that Mr. Wil
liams was "all right," and those who had
opposed now favored .hisadinission.
Then followed a large number of substi
tutions, and was plainly apparent that
the managers - had been active during re
cess in efforts to secure anything like an
adequate rivresentation from the county.
A letter from W. D. Moore, Esq., declin
ing to be a candidate for State Senator, was; •
read.
Mr. J. H: Sawyer withdrew the name of:
Hall. Patterson, suggested for State Senator.'
On motion of W. W. Alexander, A. W.
Foster, Esq.,(being the only candidate
loft,) was ow:lusted - for . State ,Senator by
acclamation.
The Convention then proceeded .to-mark
for candidates for the remaining - offices,
with the following result on first ballot: •

During the balloting; Maj. G. P. Vierneler
became much eiereised; alleging th l ere
was “connivin"..g.ing on; and demanded
that
.everybody should stand back from the
stand and allow delegates to vote without
interruption. The Major's appeal seemed
ineffectual.
Mr. Robert Gutherie inquire dho wre
the Secretaries. He said it was w hard e to
tell from appearances. '
Filially the veteran John Fox prevailed
upon the Chairman to reduce the pressure
at the desk where the marking was
going on.
• One of the Secretaries having been charg
ed with undue interference, left his place.
accosted his accuser, (not a delegate,) hot
words were exehanged, and something was
said about settling the. dispute on another
occasion.' Thus harthony was preserved.
Before the ballot was announced a motion
was carried that the three candidates for
Assembly who hal received the highest
note-% be declared the rrmainees.
J. C. Barr. Fsq offered the following,
which was adopted: .,
Resolved, That the Committee of Confer
. once report tothe Labor Reform Conference
Committee the nominations made by the
Convention and receive their report of the
nominations made - by their Convention,
with such reconiMendations as they may
deem necessary.
In accordance -with this resolution, Mr.
- J. R Hunter, Chairman ofthe Committee,
reported as followe: ,
"The Commlttee'of Conference report
that they met the Labor Reform Confer

The Chairinan read the report of the
Committee on Hosolutions, as follow.:'

the whole country..
Resolved, That we recommend the ticket
thisi day nominated to the support of the
Democracy of the county - Wad of all citizens
opposed to the corrupt tnitiagement of pub
lic:, affairs by the party now having control
of the Government.
W. D. Moore, Esq., was called upon fora:
Speech and responded. His remarks were
tat virtieularly forcible; and onltt'.reMerk_able for vituperation Ho said it was useless
to conceal the fact that the. notniriationstryl
the Now York Convention 'Were hot satis

Democratic party regarded =Measures more

~ Gen. Grant he, referred to as a

and as a soldier turves but a circumstance
Compared to 'Prank P. Blair, who had by
his personal efforts and -bravery saved one
=State *(Missouri) from - going out of the '
Union. Of Horatio Seymourle . spoke in
the highest terms as .a , statesman, but
did, not essay any reason why his uomina.

Another delegate moved that the Confer

of informing tt Mr. g Burt of his nomin at io n
Mr. again intesed, say it
was entirely n
unnecessary as rpo Mr. Bur i t ng
was
already before the people as a candidate.
The Chairman silenced the latter propo

pointed a conference committee.

_ Fenian with the Democracy.
The left wing of the Dernocracy, under
the garb of 'the Labor Reform Party, as
sembled in the Quarter Sessions room at
the Court House at 10 o'clock A. M. yester
day to the number of twenty-four, ostensi
bly, i for the purpose of nominating candi
dates for Congress, State Senate, Assembly
and county officers, but virtually to ratify
the action of the right wing of thetrarty
which assembled at the same hou r' in the
Common Pleas court room.
It was plainly evident from the class of
delegates, the greatmajority of whom were
old Democratic politicians, that the Con
vends's would , be manipul ated in the inter-(
ago( the Democracy, and the consequence
was that the meeting was a decidedly tame
one, and lacked -that enthusiasm which
marked the Labor Reform Convention of
last year. • There tvere'',qUits a number of
credentials handed to the Secretary, most
of which we opine. were .manufactured for
the. occasion ' , as there was Ito one to.

Mr'.' E. 'A: Fretby, Chcdratan of the Com
mittee on Resolutiens, stated that as there
'were no local issues the Committee had
adopted the resolutions of the National 'La
her Reform Convention held at New York
city, and submitted them for the action of,
the Convention, viz: • `
Wusahts, The right. to labor and its re.
reward is self-evident; and whereas the.ex..
cess or want of work is a fruitful sourceof
ignorance, disease and crime; and whereas
the tendency.of legislation and monopoly
is to restrict the freedom, cripple the tni.
ergieS, and purloin the earnings of indus
try; therefore,
Resolved, That the producing chimes,
agricultural, mining, mechanical, tete'.
lectual and moral, are the most , impor
tant portion of all communities; and that
distributors ' financiers and statesmen, UT
gether with their aids, and nillitary.
are of ,tsoeondarr censequence, being sim
ply created of the former to diameminate
wealth. maintain order, conserve justice,
and, keep,intact-the integrity of the nation.
Resolved; That the national .honeir must
be preserved' by paying itei debts gciod
faith, and that' every debt of the Govern
ment of specially contracted to be paid in
coin Should be paid in the Multi) currency
of the United States; that' the. =bonds when
redeemable, should be paid la legal-tender
- notes, or . exchanged for: lather. bonds at:
three per. cent., ,convertible • into lawful
money, at the pleaaure of the holder.
Resolved, That the public littered, de-,1
mends the withdrawal of the circulating
notes of the national banks, and theetibstf-
Julien of 'the legal-tender Treasury eerti
ficates In their stead. •
Resolved, That no more . of the public do
main should .be granted to - any. corpora
tion
t nndei o any pretext whatever;.and all , 1
the l ands :,diepesed of should be with
drawn fro the market and granted only
in small quantities to , actual settlers.
Resolved, That we return our thanks to
the tnajorities in Congress and in such
State Legislaturiiii as hav,ein their wisdom
deemed it right and proper to pass the
Eight-Hour Lew;:, and we call upon the
proper authorities the United States and
the States above mentioned to show their
respect for the same by enforcing its de-
Mend.
Resolved, That the low wages, long hours,
and damaging service to which multituded
of working girls and women are doomed.
destroy health. imperil virtue, and are al
standing reproach to civilization; that we
would urge them to learn trades, engage in
business, join our labor Unions, or use any
other honorable meaneto perauade or force
men to render unto every woman according
to her works.
Resolved, That we urge ipon the indus
trial class in every Congressional and State
district county, city or town, t press these
principles upon the public notice, and to
support no man for emigres:4, for tiny State
Legislature, or any other office of 'prtin t ir
trust, who is not fully pledged , to their sup
port.
