"A general inquiry is being msdc as to
the time Of holding the District Conven.
ton. Some rumors lrc atloat that if the
committe delay the call until the 10Th Of
October as has been intimated. that the
people will call mass convention. The
Republicans of Lincoln County must look
70 their matters this fall. The people
must be allowed opportunity to canvass
or consider the merits of candidates for the
several Offices, and should the people take
the matter into their hands through
impatience at the call for a convention, it
would be hard to predict the result, and
might prove disastrous to the Republican
ticket.
