The prohibition convention, composed Of del
egates from the several election districts of the
county, will assemble at Gaithersburg on Thurs
day next, 14th instant, at which q full county
ticket viii be nominated and Delegates selected
for the congressional convention. The primary
meetings in the several districts we're held yes
terday. An organization of this party has been
maintained in this county for several years,
although its vote is small and does not appear
to have an incre asing tendency. Many of the
most jealous temperance workers in the county
are identified with the republican and demo-
cratic parties and refuse to sever their connec-
ton with the same.
Affairs in the two political parties in this
county are very quiet at present and will not
likely warm up for several weeks. 1t appears
to be settled now that Mr.. VIM. M. McKaig
will receive the democratic nomination for Con-
gress in this district. The republicans have as
yet made no move in that direction, but it ap-
pears to be generally understood that If Mr..
Louis E. McComss desires the nomination for
the House of Representatives he will receive
the vote of this county in the convention.
Should he decline to run the vote would prob
ably go to Mr.. Wellington Of Allegany, although
Mr.. Pearre has many warm friends in this Sec
ton.
Harvesting of the wheat crop has been fin
