The changes Of foremen and Others in
the navy-yard, which Congressman Bow
den is credited with urging for several
weeks past, have so far failed Of accom-
plishment. but as one or more of the bosses
have been to Washington and come back
smiling. it is reasonable TO suppose that
they have made their peace with the great
mogul" Of the Second district and will
nut in their best ticks for him in the ap-
preaching congressional race. Mr.. Bow
den is here for week busily engaged in
"merding fences" and he needs to be
busy, for his denomination by the conven-
ton is by no means a sure thing. His vote
for the force bill ought to defeat him. The
convention will be held at some time be-
tween the lst and 10th OF September.
