HARD SHELLS IN TaE COUNTY.
There Is great uuaoimisy among the national
democrats regarding county ticket II viii not be
far from the 20 loSl G: For Mayor, Augustus
scheI-aHd If the wings nominate MerTin
Brewer, who is Col sidered By may as entirely too
young AID inexsrieIced for the post, large whig
woke may be expected for Mr.. Schell We have no
doubt IL Nopld n this event reach five thousand
exts For Recorder James M Smith, Jr, WAC
would be also acceptable to the ramIn any men.
For City judge, Abraham D. RUSSELL of whom the
same may be said. For District Attorney, Jonas B.
Phillips, who is possessed Of large experience in
the Office. For Sur ogate, Elijah WaId, whose
Courteous manners and sound learning I'D nirably
at him for the place. For Register, sherman
Bfownsll, who would add weight to any ticket.
Usrom the sunday Courier, Sept l9l
The only ,aoaidate. that really stani chance OF
are: for mayor, Merwin r. Brewer, by the wings;
james 9. Libby. by the nards; ADD Robert Kelly by
the softs. M Brewer Is yet on the greea side Of
thirty. He mas jumpe1 into full life and political
account as if by sic, and the zeal with which his
hosts of friends at work strongly indicates his
socoess. His youth is urged virtue, aud his
hostility TO Governor Seward aids him with the
Next upon his heels win come ex-sheriff Ca-nley
VINO VIII certairly bave many warm aud determined
friends in the wing convention. There are mauy
reasons why Mr.. Libby will be nominated for this
ONCE by the hards. First among shem is his open
and avoRed hostility to the softs-a determination to
cut loose forever from them. Second. his favorable
position witt the liquor int est as balance to the
prejudice agains: Mr. Bronson upon this question.
Should Mr.. Libby fail, tho chances are next in
favor OF G. Godfrey Gunther, a young, enthus astc
man who would make favorable match against
Mr.. Brtwe But Mr.. Guntner does not aspire to
this He seeks only the Office of one of the Ten
Governors Of the Aims House Department which
he certainly viii get, should the nomination for
mayor not fall upon him. The hards will this fall
manage their nominations in q STRAIGHTFORWARD
manner, rewsrdne none but the most deserving.
They have but very few asptrants for the konors to
be conferred, and Of one thing the various .ndi.
dates, whose names have moro or less figured in
the journals, during the last few weeks, may be
assured, and that Is that no one will pc nominated
by tie hards who will be suspected of Afterwards
seeking q concurrence OF the softs.
Augustus 6chell could receive the hard nominar
ton for mayor by reclamation If he wis., 81 il, but
he Is not ANXIOUS and his friends desire him to wait
for better chances.
This game Of candidates seeking nomination At
both the co"ventio rs will cause cir defeat when
detected. Il done last fall by Ju sge Gle ks
Of the Supreme Court, Judge Day OF tho Common
Pleas, and others but no man will be able to sue
coed By 1t hereafter. The hards have as yet no
candidate foI Recorder, and the lnly man who has
been pamed in their ranks for Cits Judge is James
