Marshall County Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1856-1878, 1866-05-31

m;ttec have called a County Convention 10 meet |
on the 10th proximo. We have been favored with
n glimpse of"thc slate" and can therefore conf
IDENTIFY predict who will he the nominees.
! The Convention will ostensibly decide on the
claims of the following named gentlemen for the
nomination for the Office Of Treasurer. Mr. ]. w
Bodgett, Mr. DAME, 5. CRUDE. Mr.. Morgan John
son, Mr. " W. Downey and Mr.. B. N. KIinger
| For the first named, Mr.. Blodsets. there is not
the ghost Of a chance. He was soldier and fought
On the wrong side Had he served in the Rebel,
instead Of the Union army, his prospects would be
infinitely better. As it is, fhc gets vote in the
Convention he will cast il himself.
The second named, Mr. Daniel S. CRUDE, Is
much too independent a man to hope for the Ty
coon's favor. without which the Convention dare
not nominate him. He must learn to blend the
hinges of the knee that thrift may follow awning"
Johnson and Downey are supposed to have an
nounced their names merely as an excuse for do
mating 81 each for the support of their wind bro
ken organ. When Sunday comes in the middle
of the week, they may begin to entertain hopes OF
a nomination.
The last named, Mr.. ]. B N. Klinger, is about
to receive his reward. He old Wing and
went over to the Democracy in 1854. He has
served his ancient enemies long and faithfully. al
mos. as long as Jacob served for Rachael. He has
meekly eaten OF the crumbs that have fallen from
the Democratic table, but now the "winter of lls
discomfort is made glorious summer" The Ty-
eoon's smiles have chased the gloomy clouds away
and having secured the services of the Court
House Clique, he will have the Conr enlion packed
70 his own liking.
For the nomination for Sheriff, there are but
three candidates: Frederick Henry, David How,
and James II. Case.
Mr. Henry we do not know, and We do not hear
of any efforts he is making to secure favor at head
quarters. He is supposed to he unsophisticated
individual who imagnes that the nominations will
indicate the unbiased voice of the Convention.
Mr. Howe i. well known to most of our readers
for the benefit Of new corners We will say that he
is best described by the expression, "Small pota-
, toes and few in hill" He has been a candidate
for Office since he has been eligible. He i.

OF timber and lost TO all Of dscency as TO
nominate him for any Office requiring the energ,

# Mr.. Jas II. Case, OF Bourbon, viii doubtless re
g csive the nomination for Sheriff. He. too, wa.
an old Wing, but when the bulk Of that party ad
i vanced their lines to Fl ,ht the battle for Ere,
Homes and Free Men, he deserted to the pro slave

same origin politically, naturally enough have can
vassed the entire county together and awakened
the faithful to the Importance Of their claims. W.
a shall make objections to this nice little game i
). the other candidates do not. They have endeav
ored to make their movements unobserved. but W,
N have always been able to SEQ as far into a mill

n A.C. Thompson. the present Incumbent, will bc

been sleciioneerns for the nom:n alton for the las
