DENTON, Sept. 24.-Saturday's primaries
were expected to settle the little rivalries
between the various Republican leaders OF
Caroline county. Whether Mr.. Carey or
Mr.. Russum should head the membership
OF the state central committee from this
county has been the battle cry, and IL there
had been nothing more than little friendly
tussle between the leaders for the belt no
harm would have been likely to result. But
there appears to be some other things In the
canvass of which outsiders are presumed
to be ignorant. 1t seems, however, to come
out that certain post-offices are not yet dis
posed OF, particularly Denton and Preston,
aud the candidates who hold tho endorse
mant of the present members OF the state
central committee are not satisfactory to
ALL and II Messrs. Carey, West and Todd,
the present members, could be deposed at
the county convention, which meets to-day,
others would stand show of success for
the offices In question.
The result Of the primaries 1t Is UNDER
stood gives Mr.. Carey every member Of the
convention save one. There are, however,
number Of contests: In the Fourth dis
trict double delegations are to be on hand
from both precincts. On the nominations
made to-day depends the future of several
prominent political asp!rants. II salts.
factory ticket is selected which will enable
the party to carry the county there may be
several good places for the winners under
the Federal administration. II they fail TO
come together and give the Democrats a
walk over there will be little to distribute.
| The county Ia always close. The contest
Will be interesting.
