The fall election embraces the choice Of the important
Offices Of Sheriff. Coroner and County Clerk, in addition
to that Of thirteen Representatives in the and
one in the State Senate There candidates
for preerment to the latter stations and it is really to Dc
hoped that more practical business will be selected
as Candidates by each party and less political paupers,
whose only claim appears be that Of total incompeency
to earn livelihood by honest labor. 1t is remarkable,
that with the influence, the wealth. the population and
the intelligence Of this great and thriving commercial

is Alderman Hatfield, of the Eleventh ward although
there are some twenty who have hoted the flag to
deputy by Withdrawing in favor Of the sue
cessful candidate.
For Coroner DR.. Archer, the present incumbent is
candidate for reelection, and exAhermaa Nash is
strong against him. Then there some dozen 9TH

if not the present of London will base their pre-

net of the selection Of medical man Tor the perform

For County Clerk, which is valuable and lazy post Of
honor and emoument the present incumbent is not

his shoes whenever the law compes him to step out The
most prominent Samuel Osgood, late deputy clerk
James Connor excellent type maker john Rker Jr
