ROCKVILLE, September /.
The political situation in this county at the
present time appears to be considerably mixed.
Since the nomination OF a ticket BY the demo-
cratic primaries whispers of disoord have been
prevalent which have become louder as the
time for republican nominations draws near.
Members of the democratic party now
frankly admit that portion OF the ticket is in
danger. In regard to the nomination Of DR..
Ed Wootton for the state senate they do not
appear to have any misgiyings, as he has for
several years been placed on the list Of oppo-
nents % the German wing of the party, and it
Is stated viii have the support of all opponents
of that organization. II is understood. how
ever. that a prominent republican will be
placed upon the ticket for that Office. A full
tIC het for the house OF delegates will be noml-
mated by the republicans. The question of high
license or prohibition. which II Is expected
will be brought before the next Legislature. will
have quite an influence in this county at the No.
yember election. So far as the democGat1c
nominees for county commissioners are Con-
cerned there is some dissatisfaction. and
strong effort will be made by the republicans
to capture portion of the board They VIII
be aided by some democrats who think the
office non-pOlltical and that il would be of adj
vantage to the taxpayers of the county to have
the board COMPOSED of skilful financiers with
out regard to their political predictions. The
great tight of the campaign, however. will be
for the oIice of sheriff, and this forms topic
Of daily conversation in all parts of the
county While republicans have been cheer
ing themselves with the belief that Mr.. VIM. ii.
Carr, the democratic nominee. will lose large
portion OF the vote of his party there seems to
be no unanimity OF sentiment among them
to who shall be his opponent Mr.. Ber-
nArd Monday appears to be the choice of
a majority Of the republicans of the county
for the nomination, and as he has heretofor,
come within seventy votes of an election (the
regular democratic majority being 600 against
one of the most popular democratic candidates
for the same Office he is considered the most
available person. An effort will be made in
the republican primaries next Saturday to elect
delegates favorable TO the nomination of VIM.
H. Jones of Olney district. The chief opposi-
ton TO Mr. Monday appears to be in the local
option element of his party. as he is known to
be an outspoken friend of high license and the
strict regulation OF the liquor traffic. The re-
suit Of the republican primary elections is
locke i forward to with much interest by both
parties.

Eli Moulden of Rockville, died at the resi-
dence of her parents this morning at o'clock
in the sixteenth year Of her age of typhoid
