hsPoIHTTCs IN ADA CoUNTY.-The county
canvass In Ada promises to be d somewhat
lively one. OF the success of the whole Dem
Ocratic ticket we have barely doubt, and this
only in regard to q single candidate. Yet the
vote all aroundis likely to be close enough tt
warrant vigorous contest. The Democrats
nave, in the main, placed avery excellent and
strong ticket in the field. The Radicals have
certainly put their best men in candidacy,
with bare hope that one or two of them may
be successful, but we do not believe the most
sanguine of them expect to have beyond one or
two of their candidates elected, and this faint
small hope is founded more upon an unfortu-
saate division in the Democratic ranks, with
reference to the particular candidates on the
ticket, than because of any especial popularity
of their own Radical candidates for these par
ticular places. But we hope the dissatisfied
men of our party will, on the day of election,
fOrego all merely personal prejudices, and vote
the full Democratic ticket from head to foot
without scratch or hesitation. OF the election
of Lutte Lindsey, for Sheriff, there is not a
ghost of doubt. He will, touse an understood
phrase, walk over the track, and his opponent
has the good sense to perceive the state of the
canvass, and will govern himself accordingly.
We hope and look for complete Democratic
triumph, but, at worst, feel certain that the
Ada county election will terminate in the sue
cess of very nearly the whole ticket. s.
