County Convention
Summary
Announcement for the upcoming County Convention for the Unconditional Union party to be held at Junior Hall for the purpose of selecting candidates for local offices as well as 6 delegates to the next General Assembly. The convention may experience some difficulties because of the "unwieldy" mass delegation representing the Frederick District as well as the presence of a "Conservative" delegation from Jefferson. The Examiner suggests that the convention will probably not tolerate the presence of the "Copperhead" group from Jefferson who do not want to be considered as "Unconditional Union" supporters. The utmost importance must be placed on nominating competent and unconditionally loyal men for local offices and especially for delegates to the legislature. High standards must be maintained in choosing candidates or the people of the county will be disappointed and betrayed.
