Georgetown, March with one ex-
ccption, the thirteen representatives oil
the several hundreds who attended the
Injecting OF The Union Republican
County Committee last Tuesday favor
ed harmony, and one united ltepubll-
can ticket Throughout the county ia theI
coming election.
The sense OF the meeting was held
that Il proposition should be made toI
uhe Regular Republican organization
10 so INTO a common primary. that
the the representation should be on
the same basis for which the Regulars
have always contended, and that one
convention should be held at Wthaoh
a ticket suitable to both factions should
be agreed upon
There is a feeling among the Union
Republicans that the Regulars should
be given a representation on the conn-
lty ticket In proportion to the number
OF votes they cast at the last election.
But while this feeling prevails. there
is counter feeling that when a ticket
Is once named no changes shall be
made The naming OF the legislative
candidates will be left to the several
districts. The county organizations. as
whole, refuse TO take any part in the
local fights.

lsensus of opinion is that the Republi-

years present an unbroken column

in bad shape. The Houstons on one
side and the followers of Willard Sauls-

First, Third and Fifth senatorial dis
Itricts. The First, comprising Cedar
Greek and North West Fork hundreds
IFS naturally Republican. Senator s. s.
B.. lPennewlll now represents that district
and will be q candidate for renomina-
Ilti0n. However, he will have some op-
,lp0sition in the person of S. Il. Reed, OF
lEllendale According to the principle
lOf rotation, the choice OF the candidates
belongs to Mr. Reeds district. Should
.lhis district have the choice, Mr Reed
undoubtedly will be the candidate.

political reasons to renominate Senator
lPennewill. This promises to be a very
Interesting contest
In theThird district. in which E. II. T..
FarlOw was elected four years ago by
a majority of eighteen, and which is
claimed to be a Democratic district, il
is generally believed that ex-senator
I'D. o. Moore will be the candidate. Mr..
Moore was on the representative ticket
two years ago in the strong Demo
Icratic Fifth district and man sixty
votes ahead of his ticket The Repub-
llicans in this district, which includes
Little Creek, GumbOro and DagsbOro
claim that Mr.. Moore can be elected. It
is conceded that the Democrats win
carry the Fifth district, which COM
lprises GEORGETOWN, Broadkiln. Iewes
and RehOboth hundreds. The Republi-
cans have made some very hard fights
lin this district. and may. by chance,
give them trouble this time.
