CONVENTION is TOMORROW
Montgomery Republicans VIII Meet
in Rockville.
May Accept Certain Democratic
Nominees in order TO Elect
others of Their Own.

Rockville, Nd, Aug 10. - Interest in
county politics which has been quite fat
ever since the result Of Last Saturdays
Democratic primaries was announced.
viii be revived when the Republican
county convention meets here. Monday.
This body viii consist Of nine delegates
from each Of the sixteen election pre-
cincts Of the county. II will nominate
candidates for county offices. elect a
State central committee. and send dele
gates 10 the State convention at Balti-
more on Wednesday next.
Harmonious action is expected all along
the line, as there were practically no
contests in the primaries OF the various
districts. 1t may be that only 4 partial
ticket win be placed in nomination. en-
bracing only candidates for the house Of
delegates, States attorney. and sheriff. as
there seems TO be no special desire among
eligible members of the party 10 run for
the Offices of county commissioners.
Judges Of the Orphans Court, or county
surveyor.
The omission Of candidates for these
places from the official ballot, 1t is said,
would greatly simplify the marking OF
the ticket and would concentrate the
fun party strength upon the six candi-
dates nominated. It is said. also, that
the Democratic candidates for commits
stOners. Orphans Court. and surveyor
are net altogether unsatisfactory 10 the
Republicans, and that they would be
more than content 10 win the other places
on the county ticket. thus securing over
the majority party what has been called
"a bob-tailed victory"
The Democrats, when united. have a
normal majority in the county Of about
300 To overcome this the Republicans
must get at least that many Democratic
votes, as it is safe 20 calculate that they
viii lose 20 the Democrats half that num-
Der of their own. The bulk of the ne
GToes competent 10 vote usually support
the Republican ticket, but in case OF
need the Democrats can always get a
fair proportion of them.
No predictions can be safely made as
TO the personnel Of the Republican county
ticket Thomas c. NOyes. Samuel l. Col
ltnsgru, James f. Ayton, Dewalt J. VII
lard, Mortimer Stabler, and Willis B.
Burdette have been mentioned as can
didates for the legislature, Thomas Daw-
son is considered the most available man
for the States attorneyshi and Frank
l. Hewitt, Henry L. Black. and Samuel
Argent are avowed aspirants fot the
nomination for sheriff.

Lynehburg. Va, Aug. 1O.-The Re-
tail Merchants Association of this
city, which has strenuously opposed
the granting of the franchise sought
by the Southern Railway for the oper-
alton of its cutoff" line through the
West End, application for which was
made some months ago, has decided by
resolution to abandon future opposi-
tion, and it now looks as if the alder
men next Tuesday night will concur In
the ordinance, as it was adopted by
the common council.
The opposition TO the franchise has
been on the ground that the Southern
desires to erect and maintain a pas
senger station on Buchanan street. a
mile or more from the present station
which will mean two railway stations
in the city instead of a union depot.
