August II, 1874.
In view of the near approach of

beginning to claim the attention Of the
hardy mountaineers in this section to
a considerable extent. In converse
ton with a number of prominent demo-
Gratis, I find decided sentiment in
favor of the nomination Of Hon. John
Richie, of Frederick. Espec tally, |
am told, is such the the case among
the miners and lumbermen Of Allega-

number Of factions favoring different
aspirants, and each leaving no stone
unturned to advance the interests of
its part;c ular favorite, so tits as yet
impossible to tell who will be the
choice for standered- bearer during the
campaign.
Among republicans the names Of
Capt. Henry Clay NALL and DR.. Z. H.
Steiner are favorably spoken of.
Since the reported letter Of the Hon.
Lloyd Lowndes, Jr., to the effect that
he favored the civil rights bill person
ally, but voted against it because Of
the opposition of his constituents, he
has lost considerable ground. Many
republicans are loud in their denunci-
alton of him. X.
