DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CoSvENrIox.-The
Democratic County Convention has been
called to meet at this place on the 18th OF
| September. The officers to be nominated
this fall are Senator, four Representatives,
Register of Deeds, Treasurer, Sheriff,
County Attorney, Judge Of Probate, Survey
or, and Commissioners for thu 1st and 18th,
or St. Cloud and Sank Centre, Districts.
Messrs. W. 8. Moore and E. NJ. Wright
are talked Of among the Democracy for
Senator. Mr.. W. T. Rigby, of Clearwater, is
mentioned as candidate for Representa-
tive from this District, and Clearwater has
several other candidates. St. Cloud will
probably slip in at the last moment with
the winning manor will try to. Mr.. J,
H. Linnemaun will probably be the candi-
date and the Representative from the st.
10 District. Commissions, Greeley looms
up from the Name Prairie District, AMI N.
H. Miner. OF Sank Centre, will doubt-
less be the little Democratic lamb led up
for Mr.. Bar'o, Che probable Republican
nomines) to slaughter. For Register of
Deeds there seems 70 be no opposition to
the denomination of Mr.. Zapp, the present
incumbent. The same may be said concern
ing Treasurer Cans. Prof Brick and Mr..
Wright are spoken Of for the County
Attorneysbip, but they will both be wise if
they keep out of Capt. Collins way. He
will be the next County Attorney. Prof.
Bricks friends think the Office of Judge Of
Probate would be better thing for him,
and easier obtained; but Judge Evans will
not let the nomination 60 by default The
Democrats are suggesting the propriety Of
nominating MIR. NJ. P. Noel foe County Sur
veyor, as he has done the work, and done
it we'll, as Deputy for . number Of years.
The big fight will be for Sheriff. Commits.
| sioner Pirz. of Eden Lake Geo. Geizle, Of
St. 10. and half dozen others. are al
| ready said to be in the fed. It will re-
quire strong man 20 defeat Sheriff Alden,
who will undoubtedly be the Republican
nominee. In this Commissioner District,
there will be quite struggle, and there
are no means now Of judging whom the
Democrats will nominate. Mr.. Edslbrock
will be q formidable candidate before the
Convention. In the Sank Centre District
some Republicans talk Of conceding tho
place, in that Republican District, to NJ
Getty, the present Democratic Commission.

In the foregoing, We make no pretension
TO speak ez cathedra. We have m ere
" given what is common rumor.
In Luckily the following from the
Anoka Press We learn that MIR. Matt Laib,
who has recently become q citizen Of this
place, has had windfsll:
We understand that Mr.. M. Laib is in
luck. He has had quite fortune willed to
him from parties in the old country. Mr..
| Laib started on Monday last for Mllwau
kee, where his brother lives, in order to
settle affairs in regard to the property in
Germany.
Tho subscription list of the st. Cloud
JOURNAL il diminishing. Q'v. Anstin has
had his name scratched off.-Anoko Union.
The time may come, possibly-thoueh
not probably-when the subscription list of
TIE JOURNAL will diminish, but if it should
ever became SO exceedingly small IS Gov
ernor Austin has shown himself to be, We
will quit the newspaper business.
THRBsH1Na MAcu1NEs.-Many farmers
are making inquiries as to which is, all
points considered, the best threshing ma
chine in the market. Without doubt, the
J. l. Case & Co.'s thresher is the cheapest
and best that can be had. Its excellency
is attested by the immense sale it has had.
and its growing popularity among Western
farmers. The opinion Of all who have
used it is, that it can threeh more grain
and clean it better in the same length of
time than any other machine in the world.
Many improvements have been added to the
"Case" without increasing its cost Call

for yourselves.
Further developments show that Rev.
| Frank Whitcomb alias Wellman alias
Brown, who is now gracing Sank Centre,
is . scamp who hudded some time ago.
