Both political parties are quite active here which
increases the interest OF the canvass. 1t Is conceded
that tho democracy VIII carry their state ticket In
this county, the only question beng as to the ma
iority There is great difference or opinion on that
point The republicans take several hundred or
inc democratic estimate The county was very close
in 1s8s 1t gave Just one majority for Grant, the vote
being a. 100 10 70s. At the same election Holman
had la2 majority over Griswo'd for Governor Re-
turns OF subsequent elections show that the demo-
Gratis have been gaining in the county. The repub-
licans however, claim that In reality both political
part,es are very evenly divided; that light vote
tells more against them than against the democrats,
and that on occasions OF national interest, ike
Presidential canvass, when the full strength OF
their party Ia brought out, the race is about neck
and neck, with the chances rather IN their favor.
Last year Holman had $50 majority over Woodiord.
The democrats declare that their majority this year
for state officers and for members OF the Legislature
viii be at least 900. With single exception
all the democratic candidates for local
ofYices are pretty certain Of election by greater
or lesser majortics. That exception IS Dis
trict Attorney for the county. and the success
Of their candidate is matter about which the de-
mocrais themselves are very much IN doubt. In the
Convention there were two prominent rival aspr-
ants Tor the position, and after the proceedings
