report good meetings at Poolesville and
Harncsville on Friday. and Damascus and
Clarksburg on Saturday. They also say that
there appears to be good feeling among
the members of the party. and an evident
desire to secure success. The main point to
De overcome appears to be to get a full
turnout on election day. There appears to
be no doubt but that there is much apathy
| among the many who were promised fed
eral positions in return for work done at
the primary election in the last state cam
paiSn, and who have teen disappointed in
securing the same. The republicans ap-
/ ear to be well organized and If there is
any dissatisfaction at present it does not
appear on the surface. They appear to be
confident OF carrying the district not so
much on the popularity OF their candidate
as on the republican landslide which they
claim VIII sweep the country in Novemb Der.
Within the past few days they claim TO
have reliable information from the other
counties Of the district that all internal dis
Sessions have been healed, and that the
party Will present an undivided front in
favor OF Alr. VI ellington.
