The ticket wus completed by the

of Kent county, to suceoed himself as
aomptroller ot tLo treasury, and of

Cecil county, tor attorney general.
Tho surprise of the Convention was too
bIuiosi total duscrtiou of tho reassess?

O. llayec He receive.i but two votes
on the roll call.
A stormy see lie is taid to have taken
placet between Air. Hayes and Senator
Cioruiuu just before tie convention
anet which undoubtedly accounts foi
Ji\r. Hayes lack of voles. It is credibly
? luted that .Mr. Uayes accused Mr.
Cioruiuu ot base deceit nud double
dealing aud ended tin his tirade by
charging Iba senior Senator with
baring sold him out.
Not tlfiy delegates were in the
etiditoritim of Hums' Academy ;al

that the dearth oi dolegatss was

reported ?? having encountered unox

command anything like a full Demo
oratio vote, Several conferences fol
lowed this bombshell, aud us the dele
frates came struggling into the hall

Chairman Tal bot, id tho State Cen?

Co order at I'2:'J0. 1 here was an eutiro
abtenoe of demonstration iu the hall,
?which hod tilled up until 2,000 persona
i??re eeated. Mr, lalbot made a brief
address and introduced Bernard Carter
OS temporary chairman,
In addressing the couveutiou Mr.
Carter, who is one of lhdtimore'b lead
lug lawyers und an eloquent speaker,
eaid that he expected the nominees to
lie of high character ami fully qualified
Co till the positions to which they might
1)0 named, and lie, therefore, expected
for them the tiuauimotis support of all
X)emucruts. Not only was the liov
?ruorsbip, Attorney Generalship aud
Couiptroliorstup at stake this your, but
ft would also be necessary to elect a
majority of the Legislstuie so that a
JJemoorut could be elected to the
United States Seuatc to succeed I lms.
Sd. tiibsou.
Several of tho State Senators to be
elected will also huve an opportunity
to vote for a successor ot Senator tlor
inun two years iicuee. lu concluding,
?d r. Carter begged lor harmony among
the fnotiuus aud u united support of
the convention's nominees.
It was apparent toot the galleries
bad been packed in the interest of Mr.
IItiret. Mr. Carter's uddrees was fre?
quently interrupted by cheers for
Hur t until ?ually Mr, Curler warnett
the crowd that further interruptions
would not be tolerated, but that sum?
mary action would be taken if the
olt'eube was further indulged iu except?
ing at appropriate times.
The usual committees were ap
poiuted. A motion muh adopted that
all resolutions be referred to the oom
mittee without debate. There was
?juito a volume of "no's" when the
question was put, but chuirmuu Carter
decided the motion adopted.
While the crudeniisla ami resolutions

the galleries yelled themselves hoarse
dud tu? baud played stirring music.
The crowd in the Academy hud boeu
augmented by a tew hundred persons,
tfuost of them being brought in in Mr.
Hurst's interests. They ?ero of the
leather lunged variety "and yelled ail

were not out with the committees sat

eceno was in striking contrast with j
former Democratic conventions in
Maryland. Heretofore tho dove ol
peace llouttid above and the fee ing of

The report was adopted aud Chair?

Col. L. Victor liaughuinu, of Fred?

"Our platform denounced the Mc?

About uu hour "as consumed in Ina

which 1 need not say was unusually
severe, but ?ho said: 'I call uu Clod to

At leant, thia is tho stoty the poople

was said thau the tuqiiisitnra cared to

a premature publication ol their plans
would iu ali probability spoil the Case.
