The Democrats have not made much stir vet,
but Mr.. Follett, who was defeated by Mr..
Moore two years ago, can no doubt have the

position TO the denomination OfJ udge Bingham,
but whether il can be 50 united as 10 defeat him

or two ambitious gentlemen without strength,
and Noble county likewise contains one IN the
person Of one j. NJ. Dalzell, but he need hardly
be counted in. The result will probably be the
denomination Of Mr.. Bingham; out his success
at the polls Is by no means assured. He has
been on hand so long that other aspirants, tired
of waiting, are determined 90 have a show at
last, if il can only be secured by defeating him
at the election. In addition 10 this, many OF
the most prominent men in the district say

much, is also talked OF in some quarters.

mously renominated, and his election is 20 GER

The sitting member from the 18th district,
Mr.. Upson, will be renominated, though some
opposition will be made by Mr.. Ex-CollectOr
Jones, of Cleveland, who wants TO demonstrate
the folly Of Commissioner Delano's action in
removing him from Office by going before the
people, "A Mr., Dangler also professed 70 have

OF the Democrats nominating Mr.. Ambush, a
colored barber, but this project was probably
one of the Ptaiadedley's Jokes.
Although there is a good deal of dissatisfaction
IN the pigiron interest OF the 18th district with
Gen. Garfield, he will be renOminated beyond
doubt, and as certainly elected; though there
may be an effort made by the Democrats 70 run
an Independent or Republican high tariff man

The election of members OF the legislature
which will choose a successor TO Hon. John
Sherman IN the L. s. Senate does not take place
until next year, so IL il too early 20 speculate
intelligently on that subject. IL may be said,
however, that efforts are already being made,

whether Mr. Delano viii consent 20 have his
name brought forward at the proper time. His
decision on this point will no doubt depend very
much on his prospects. Among Democratic
aspirsnts 70 the place may be mentioned the
names Of the regular old standard bearers, such
as Pendleton, Pugh, Vallandigham, Groesbeck,
