Other Local Notes of General
Interest to All.

There is a good deal Of quiet hustling be-
ing done in Georgetown and more or less
wire-pulling to secure the election from the
primaries to the central convention of the
dc mocratic assembly of the District Moth
ing has yet Teen done, and no candidates
have yet been announced, but some time
next week candidates will undoubtedly come
out with more or less backing.
For the third district, which embraces all
OF that territory west of 32d street, there Is
a likelihood of several candidates for the
honor of representing the ward. Among
those spoken Of are John Curtin and David
Ly ons. In the fourth precinct, embracing
the area east of s2d street and west OF Rock
creek, no names have yet been given out
with authority. John Hadley Doyle. who
has been spoken of, has sent out card de-
Ginning to accept the honor. There was
some talk of running William H. Manogue
ex-collecto- of customs for this port, but
it is claimed he is not at present resident
of the precinct. Another man who has been
mentioned for the place is John Mckenley.
The democrats Of both precincts have
been in consultation for some time and
have held frequent consultations over the
best means of arranging matters LOT the
welfare Ct the party in this section OF the
city. Most likely at the next joint meet
ing the Representatives Of the two wards
| will select their respective candidates and
| back them.
! In the county above Georgetown very
| little has been done in the way of secur-
ing candidate. There are good many
! men willing to 1un if they think their
| chances are good but so far no public
declaration to run has been made.
