Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. OAKLAND, Md., September 9, 1996. The republican convention of the sixth Maryland district met promptly at 3 o'clock this afternoon afte? the recess. Mr. R. W. McMichael, chairman of the committee on credentials and permanent organization, submitted a report recom- mending that the temporary officers be also chosen the permanent officers for the convention. The report was unanimously adopted. Mr. McMichael also reported the follow- ing list as those entitled to seats in the cenvention as delegaies: Allegany—E. H. Michael, John McFar- lane, C. L. Bretz, C. J. Orrick, John J. Bell, Charles H. Holtzman, Robert W. M: Michael, David E. Dick, George W. Sny- der, Reuben Reed, James Campbell, A. G. Washington. Frederick—W. Scott Kefauver, E. A.

Washington—W. M. Nihiser, Dr. J. C. Pitgnogle, Charles L. Smith, Lancelot Jacques, Newton 8. Cook. The Frederick County Delegates. Mr. MeMichael said that in reference to the contesfing delegates from Frederick county the majority of the committee on credentials had, after giving the subject as much consideration as the time at their disposal would admit, with great regret arrived at the conclusion that the scenes attending the meeting of the convention in that county when delegates to the present convention were said to have been elected were so disgraceful and such a blot upon the good name of the republican party, not only of the county and the congressional district, but of the state, that both delega- tons ought to be excluded from participa- tion in the business of the body. Mr. Marion Dorian of Montgomery county submitted a minority report, and in doing so said he agreed with his colleagues of the committee that the scenes at the Frederick county convention were disgraceful in the extreme, but he thought the republicans of that county were entitled to be represented in the convention, and he thought that the contesting delegations should be admitted and cach member be given half a vote. Mr. Milton G. Urner of Frederick county, leader of the Motter delegation, made an earnest speech against the adoption of the minority report, on the ground that he and his colleagues were either entitled to seats in the convention or they were not, and he did not want to accept the privilege of casting half a vote. Mr. W. E. Gettinger, leader of the Haff- ner delegation from the some county, urged the adoption of the minority report, which, he said, was offered in the Interest of ha: mony and compromise. He thought it bet- ter to have half a Icaf than no loaf at all, and he again strongly urged that the re- port be aacpted. After some further remarks by several of the delegates the minority report was adopted. Urner and His Followers Leave. Mr. Urner said he was instructed by the members of his delegation to decline to re- main in the convention under the circum- stances and they would retire, but they wished to assure the delegates that who- ever would be nominated by them as the standard bearer of the party would recelve the hearty suppert of the entire republican party in Frederick county. Mr. Urner and his colleagues then aros2 to leave the con- venticn hall, aud as they were about to re- tire President Cook urged them to recon- sider the step; that he deplored the step they were about to take and entreated them to remain. Mr. Urner thanked the presiding officer for his expressions of good will, but de- clared that as he and those with him felt that they were the legally elected delegates to the convention from Frederick county, and that as the convention had voted to also admit the Haffner delegation, they could moet remain in the convention any longer. As the retiring delegates were leaving the hall Mr. Gettinger jumped on a chair and shouted, “Let them go. Bolting is fashion- able this year!” Nomination of Candidates. As the committee on resolutions, which had been in session in another part of the building, was not yet ready to report, it was voted to proceed with the nominations of candidates, the understanding being that when this business was concluded the con- vention would proceed no further with its tusiness until the committee's report was received and disposed of. The roli of counties was then called. Mr. David E. Dick of Allegany nominated Col. George A. Pearre of Cumberland; Mr. W. E. Gettinger of Frederick nominated Dr. S. T. Haffner; Mr. A. F. George of Garrett nom- frated Dr. Robert A. Ravenscroft; Gen. Allan G. Rutherford of Montgomery nom- inated Capt. John E. McDonald, and Mr. H. S. Cook of Washington nominated Mr. A. R. Hagner. ‘The cheir announced that under the rules of the party organization Allegany county was entitled to 6 votes, Frederick to 3, Gar- rett to 3, Montgomery to 4 and Washington to 5. At this point the committee on resolu- ticns returned to the hall, and Mr. C. J. Orrick, the chairman, read the following resolutions, which were adopted by an unanimous vote: The Platform. “Resolved, by the republicans of the sixth congressional district of Maryland, in convention assembled, That we indorse the republican administration of the state, and the pure election laws passed by the late republican legislature. “We reaffirm our allegiance to the great national republican party and {ts principles as enunciated in the platform adopted at St. Louis in June last, and congratulate the American people that they have an op- portunity offered them to forever stamp out all degrees and forms of anarchy, pop- ulism and repudiation by casting’ their yotes in November next for McKinley and Hobart.” The balloting for a ccngressional candi- date was then begun, and the result of the first roll call showed that each candidate had received the votes of the delegates from his own county, as follows: Pearre, Allegany, 6; Haffner, Frederick, 3; Ravens croft, Garrett, McDonald, Montgomery, 4; Hagner, Washington, There being no choice, the roll call was again made, and proceeded continuously until sixty-five ballots were taken, when‘the result of each roll call being the same as the first, and the hour having arriyed when the hall had to be vacated because it was engaged for the evening by a theatrical troupe, recess was taken until 7 o'clock. At the latter hour the convention reas- sembled at Offutt’s Hall, and the delegates continued to vote until 250 ballots were taken, when effort was made, without re- suit, by Mr. Gettinger of Frederick to stampede the convention to A. G. Sturgis of Garrett county. During the balloting, several motions were made and defeated to take a recess, to adjourn to meet in Fred- erick and Hagerstown, and for other pur- poses of a minor character, but all except a vote of thanks to the ladies of Oakland for decorating the hall where the conven met, during the afiernoon, which was adopted by an unanimous Vote, were de- feated by a large majority. 3 The Deadlock. After 26) ballots were taken, Gen. Ailan G. Rutherford of Montgomery county rcese and sald he would like to ask “how long u miserable farce is to last?’ and he moved that the convention adjourn to meet one week hence in Rockville. ‘The motion was not seconded, and a num- ber of deiegates called out, “We have come here to nominate; let us stay here until we do if it takes all night.” After futher motions, most of which were made by General Rutherford, each of which caused a call of the counties, and all of which were defeated, balloting was resumed. Shortly before 10 o'clock many of the delegates showed signs of weari- ness, and General Rutherford again and agein, each time naming a different hour at which to assemble tomorrow, tried to induce the delegates to adjourn for the night. Each time his motion was de- feated. Adjourned Until Today. After the th bafot and there being no Prospect of the deadlock being broken, Mr. Gettinger of Frederick, who had for sev- eral hours led the opposition to taking any recess, arose and sald: “There is a time when the human frame gives way. I have said here tonight that I intended to fight it out on this line if it takes all summer, but I have gone back on that, and J now meve that the convention takes a recess until tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.” ‘The motion was seconded by General Rutherford, and upon ¢ roil call by conn- ties was adopted, whereupon President Cook, at once declared the convention ad- journed until the hour named. ——>—_ XCURSIONS. The steamer Charles Macalester will make a special trip to Colonial Beach Sun- day morning, the boat leaving this city at 9 a.m. and Alexandria at 9:30 a.m. The boat will stcp at Marshall Hall, Clifton Beach and Riverside, both ways, and an exceptionally pleasant outing is assured those who make the trip. Capt. Blake will lock cut for ail anglers who go down on the cacursion, and will furnish them with live bait free’ of charge. The fare for the round trip will be fifty cents, and dinner and supper may be obtained in the pretty little cafe on the boat. The Macalester wil leave Colonial Beach at 5 p.m. on the re- turn trip and will land in this city about 9:30 p.m. Charel Point, the pretty summer resort in Charles county, Md., about sixty miles below Washington, will be closed after Surday next, when the steamer Pentz will make the last trip of the season there. ‘fhe Point has had a most successful sea- son. The Hotel Belle View has been com- fortably filied with guests from the open- ing of the season, and now that cool Weather is come, they are loth to depart. Next Sunday the steamer Pentz will leave her wharf here at 9:45, and Alexandria at 10; and will arrive at the beach in time to give five hours for boating, crabbing and fishing. Chris. Arth, jr.’s full orchestra will be in attendance, and will furnish sa- cred mvsic, both on the steamer and on the grounds. The River View excursion season, which cpened the 26th of April, was brought to a close with the excursion of the Inter- state Democratic Association last night. The season has been a fairly successful one considering the hardness of the times, and Capt. Randall, the proprietor of the resort, 1s greatly pleased, not only from a financial point of view, but because the Pcople of Washington and Alexandria have shown that they appreciate his efforts by their large attendance on the personally ecnducted Wednesday, Saturday and Sun- day trips. Since the season opened the record of attendance shows that 152,000 persons, in round numbers, have visited River View, and that of this number fully 130,000 “shot the chute,” and enjoyed the fun. This immense number of people wa3 handled without a single accident and the best of order was preserved on both the steamer and grounds. During the com- pe winter months both the steamer Pentz nd the View grounds will be given a thorough overhauling and Capt. Randall now has in his office the plans for an amusement to be erected during the com- ing spring at a cost of $16,000 that will throw the chute completely in the shade a3 a mirth provoker. Capt. Harry Ran- gall, who, by the way, is the youngest steamboat captain on the Potomac, has had command of the steamer Pentz throughout the season, and by his skill and courtesy has won golden opinions from every one who traveled on the boat. Capt. Randall's Potomac river line comes in for a share of commendation. During the past year the steamer Harry Randall, under the command of the veteran seaman, Capt. Barker, has sprung into favor as a freight and passenger boat, and the business of the line {s constantly increasing. ‘Three trips per week are made to the river land- ings as far down as Maddox creek.

Apy person can easily appiy at home, sel ssSELBACH veil Phillies Nearly Won, the First Game With Washington, HAD A SUDDEN BATTING STREAK uy Exciting Finish toa Game Full of Hitting. SPORTS IN GENERAL With the score against them 12 to 4, the hard hitters from Philadelphia began to hit Mercer's slow drops yesterday afternoon at Natfonal Park, and in three innings had batted out seven runs and all but tied the game. But Selbach accurately Judged Hu- len’s drivé, and after a sharp run captured it and possibly saved the home team from defeat. It was a free-hitting game and one that pleased the old-timers, There was lit- tle excitement except in the last inning, for the heme team took the lead and kept it to the last. But the long files, the sharp drives and the ground scorchers that were secured off each pitcher kept the contest full of interest. It was very patchwork playing—very good and awfully bad. Ola Sam Thompson never played any betier. He leaned over the wire fence in front of the right field bleachers and gathered in a hit that had all the marks of a home run. Then Cooley took a desperate chance on a short fly end caught it within an inch of the ground after a hard run. Brown's boys protested that he had made a pick up, but Umpire Lynch explained that the grass was long and that it was a fair out. Lajole, the Phillies’ first baseman, may be a “find” with the bat, but he fielded his position like an automaton. When the ball was hit or thrown In his directlon he was completely at sea and shipwrecked. What were meant for sacrifice bunts proved to be safe hits, and being followed by hard drives were turned into runs. Then the home players were scized with a sudden fondness for big Buck Orth’'s straight one: and before they tired they had accumulated twelve runs. Mercer and Farrell hed smiles a yard wide, and lit- tle Wrigley on the coaching lines grew very. kittenish. In fact, the whole team seemed on good terms with them- selves. The visitors couldn't do a thing with Mercer's slow ones. Either they punched out or hit files into the air that were easy. Grady'’s arm was away off, and he couldn't nail a runner or catch a man at the plate. The spectators, not many, to be sure, or ly 800, but loyal to the last man, enjoyed the situation amazingly. When Lave Cruss shouted to Lajoie, “You take it, Lahzhooway!” the merry onlookers yelled to nim to say it again. “Can't,” replied Cross, and there was a laugh. But the cannonading that opened in the eighth and continued in the ninth chased away all tie merriment. The sun went behind a cloud, the laughing ceased, the air grew chilly and the end was awaited with universal anxiety. There was a loud shout of relief when Hulen’s drive sctiled in Selbach’s hands and the game wag saved.

He said that a conference of advisors would be called in a fortnight to teke action on the subject. Clifford Breaks Down.

Exciting Tennis Matchen. DEL MONTE, Cal., September 10.—The Whitney brothers, Robert and George, wrested the tennis championship in doubles from Hardy and Driscoll, in one of the most interesting and exciting contests ever witnessed on the Del Monte court, and are now the heroes of the hour. In the first set the Whitneys betrayed signs of nervous- ness, and as thelr opponents played better tennis than at any other stage of the game, the latter won it by 6-4. The most brillant tennis of the match was exhibited in the second set, which was won by the Whit- neys, with’a score of 6-3, although the third was longer, as Hardy and Driscoll strained every effort to save the day, but only suc- ceeded in winning four of the eleven games played. —>___ SUBURBAN NEWS BROOKLAND.
