THE SIXTH DISTRICT.


From the Westminster Sentinel, August oath.
At last clarion note comes from the mountains,
clear and ringing, uttering no uncertain sound,
but loudly and boldly calling upon the Repub-
cans of the counties to put their foot fatty, heav
ly down upon the miserable, contemplate factions
in Baltimore, which have well nigh ruined the
party in the State, they have utterly destroyed
it in the city. The Cumberland Cicilian in an
able article supports the action of the members of
the State Central Committee in the 9th District in
cutting loose from and acting independently of
the present so-caled State Central Committee
We rejoice to see that Republicans in the counties
are beginning to appreciate the necessity for TAX
ing action. For gears past this paper has cOm-
seled such and begged and beseeched oar
county friends to cut loose from the heartless, SET
fish policy al,oays asserted by factions IN the city.
Why should we pay tribute to the Fulton's, Thorn
as and Matthews? Why should not the counties
where the real strength of the party is, and where
alone success can come from, assert that strength
in conventions and assume the power in the organ
ization of the party that is our right When we
do this it will be made stronger in the city, be-
cause it will induce a more respectable element
there to come actively to the front and ward bum
mers and strikers, political tramps will be at
heavy discount, instead of at premium as at
present 1t is notorious now, as it has been for
years past that the present faction only maintains
itself by using methods as corrupt as any ever
used by the Democrats. The primary meetings
held there a short time ago were so transparent
fraud that when the result was paraded in the
Americans electrical way it but excited the con-
tempt and disgust of Republicans the State over.
Again we say that we heartily endorse the course
of the Republicans in the 9th District they have
unquestionably taken step in the right direction
and one which will materially add to the chances
of success in the coming campaign. Now let all
the other counties go and do likewise-let the fac
tons under the leadership of Thomas, Myself q
Co., with Matthews thrown in, hold the federal of
fees in Baltimore, parcel them out among their
followers and quarrel over them much as they
please but let us do our duty as Republicans,
acting from and for principles sake, and bright
err day will speedily dawn upon the fortunes of the
party in this State Let us the power and
strength which country Republicans have and can
and win give towards controlling our organization
and keeping it above the petty strife of factions,
and thereby we will electrify our people in way
that has not been made manifest by the Thomas
& Myself battery in a way successful that it
may possibly even conciliate our amiab!e Presi-
dent and make him believe that there is more in
substantial success when attained than in ever so
many promises of success, accompanied by never
so many electrical and eloquent words, with in
Vulnerable visiting delegations added.

he is about an equitable distribution of justice.

A few years ago it generally believed,
