Montgomery County sentinel., 1876-08-18
Primary Meetings.

The Democratic voters will assemble 10 pri-
mary meetings on September 2nd, to select
delegates to county convention, which will
send four delegates to the electoral convention
and the same number to the Congressional
convention. There is a necessity at this time
that all the voters should turn out to these
meetings as much for the purpose of showing
our enemies that we are determined to make
firm and gallant fight this Fall as to select
good and competent men to represent US in
the convention. We want in the State good
working electoral ticket COMPOSED of men
who will devote their time and attention to
The campaign and do noble service for Tilden
and Hendricks. We do not feel that there is
the slightest danger of losing the State, but
we desire to carry it by such majority as
viii hereafter silence the howls Of the Mary
land Republicans.
1t has been the custom to honor our mem.
bers Of Congress with "a second nomination
and We have heard no objection of substan-
tial nature TO the denomination of Mr. Walsh
but whoever the convention makes the STAN
dard bearer of the Congressional district,
Montgomery county stands ready 10 perform
the gallant part she played two years ago
and TO furnish tie necessary majority for his
election.
Let us have "A full attendance at the primary
meetings and when the nominations are made
every one will be satisfied and ready TO take
part in the grand ratification meeting with
which we will open the campaign.
