The republicans of this city and county
are not in happy frame of mind. They
are not a united band of brothers prepar-
pairing for a coming conflict, but, on the
contrary, are divided and at war with each
other
Tho occasion for these hostilities is the
recent action of tho executive committee
in calling nominating county convention
on the 30th of the present month.
The feeling is quite general among the
several factions of the dominant party that
there was an attempt to freeze out
candidates who do not train with the ring,
which managed the last meeting of the
central committee.
Fault finding has been going on quietly
ever since the meeting when it was an
nounced that two conventions would be
held in this county, and the first would
take place on the 30th of May. This feel
ing has been growing in strength, and bids
fair to manifest itself, as one prominent
republican expressed it yesterday in "a
