in not receiving nomination them

test satisfied that the succeSsfulaspirants
are worthy men, and viii cordially
abide by the decision of the convention,
with perhaps one exception. Our re-
port of the convention will explain.
Our candidate for -
PROBATE JUDGE,
C. W. CARROLL, Esq, is well known
throughout the County. As an officer
in the same position some years ago he
was noted for his popularity with both
parties and the heavy vote he polled
on his denomination; running over
three hundred ahead Of his ticket is
some evidence of his popularity out of
Office. His residence in townif elected
will be lnuch in his favor over any Off
Ger who cannot be regularly at his post.
Our candidate for
SHERIFF,
WM. H. COCHRAN, though not SO
widely known is yetweIl and favorably
known among the citizens of the east
ern part of the County. He has been
acitizen of Bellaire for several years, a
member of the Republican party and
very popular wherever acquainted. He
is one of those genial good hearted gen.

VIM. ALEXANDER of Pease, received
the nomination for reason of his emin-
ent financial ability. The condition of
the finances of the County is such at
present that the chief work of the
Board of Commissioners viii be to rid
the County of the enormous debt con-
tracted by the Democratic party for he
last five years. Mere local right would
have given the nominee; to the. North
ern or Western part of the County, but
owing to the peculiar and embarrassing
stateof affairs at present the choice of a
well known ffnancier seemed to be pre-
ferable to any other view of the ques-
tior. We are not yet certain as to who
will be the Democratic nominee, but he
must be good man, if he wins with
such odds against him.
