Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1878-11-29

The Republican papers of this Sixth dis
trct are not as united as they were before the
election IN praising the harmony Of State Re-
publican organization. The Weverton con-
venton is the bone Of contention, and it is
rumored that delegations of Maryland Repub-
lcans are forming TO swoop down upon the
President and demand that it is the ouly sal
walton Of the party to turn out he present in
cnmbents upon federal patronage in Maryland
and call up men from the franks" In re-
gard TO the Weverton convention the Oakland
Rcpublied. says: 1.-THE Sixth district conven-
tion in caucus fatty refused to endorse the ac-
tion Of the Weverton conference" and this
same journal accuses our esteemed friend, Mr..
Arthur Stabler,snd Messrs. Small and Keeffer,
all prominent in Republican work in the dis
trict, of attempting to disorganize the party
and that they were entirely ignored by Mr..
Urner and ere subjects of scorn and derision.
The quarrel is a very lively one, and what 1t
will end in cannot be foretold; but we notice
that there was the same difficulty before the
election and that The present row is only re-
sumption Of hostilities. When the time came
to 6ght their opponents truce was declared
between the party factions and all 'buckled to-
and pulled together. In political parties as
in all other bodies discipline is to be striven
for, and the Democracy might we'll profit by
this example Of discipline which has been dealt
them in the loss Of Congressman. The
great trouble with factions 10 the Democrat
ic party is that there is too much nursing O.
