The County Convention.

this county is appointed for Thursday
next, and as the Republicans propose &c
elect whoever they nominate, considerable
interest is felt In the matter, and conse
quently the primary meetings will be bet
ter attended than formerly, and every
election precinct will without doubt be full
" represented. Several candidates have
been mentioned in connection with the
positions to be filled. Some are the selec
ton of the people, and will be rendered
the positions, with the request that they
accept them for the good of their constit
uents. Others, having political aspira
tons, announce themselves as candidates
ask for the nominations, and use their in
fluence and the influence of their friends
to secure them.
Hon. L. w. Joiner is spoken of as can
didate for State Senator. If he is chosen
and should accept the nomination, he viii
be elected, and Iowa county will have Sc.
cured an able, honest, intelligent and un
usually efficient representative in the State
Senate.
For Member of Assembly from the nor.
thern district. we have heard several
names mentioned. Dr.. B, L. Brisbane, il
is understood, aspires to that position
The name of VIM. E. Rowe, of Arena, is
often used in this connection. He is an
energetic and good business man, and
would doubtless make good legislator.
Samuel Rawdon, of Dodgeville, announ-
ces himself as candidate for the nomna-
ton of Sheriff He has served as deputy
for several years, and now aspires for
something better. VIM. Sands, of Lin
den, is also spoken of as suitable man
for this office. His name will doubtless
be presented to the Convention.
There is not much said as to who shall
be the nominee for Treasurer. Frank
Vivian has so faithfully and efficiently
performed the duties of that responsible
office in the past, that his friends propose
to tender it him for another term. The
name of Capt. VIM. Wighaln is also used
in connection with this Office. The Cap
tain made such good run two years ago
that his friends don't want to leave him
off the ticket. aS,
Mai. G.. H. Otis is candidate for re-
nomination to the Office of Clerk of the
Board of Supervisors, and he has so faith
fully discharged the uties Of the office in
the past, that we hear of no opposition,
and he will probably be the unanimous
choice of the Convention.
We have heard the names Of Kearton
Coates and VIM. Hooper, both of Linden,
spoken of as candidates for the nomination
of Register of Deeds. Mr.. Coates makes
a faithful and competent officer. Not be-
ing acquainted with Mr.. Hooper, we can
say nothing of his qualifications.
Mr.. o. P. Ashley, of Avoca, has shown
an unusal fitness for, and fidelity in the
discharge of, the duties of Clerk Of the
Court. He is gentleman against whose
public or private record no objection can
be made, and is physically unfortunate.
He is candidate for denomination. Z The
friends of Christian Kessler, onc-armed
soldier of Mineral Point, will probably
present his name as suitable candidate
for this Office. .....-..s,' (
Other names are mentioned as candi-
dates for nomination to the various Offices
to be filled at the coming election-names
of men who would do honor to the county
as business agents or representatives.
Consequently we expect IT, forthcoming
Convention to select such men, that,
coupled with the leaders Grant and Col
fax, and General Cobb-shall constitute
the best ticket ever hoisted in Iowa county
If they do this, we can safely promise that
Iowa county will give a larger Republican
majority than ever before 3a1 b
