We will quit square on proof and cast
an eve TO the political complexion Of
Lewis county. II is comforting and at
least interesting, 10 witness the maneu-
verings Of the equal or nearly SO, po!iti-
cal belligerents preparing for the fight.
The sparring is graphic; stalking Of
ground and placing Of the pugilists on
the corners, is bewitching yea, entrsnc-
ing. Thus Lewis, swinging 10 and fro n
vet. henchmen Of either parties
have no, planted man on the corner
firmly. Each conscious of its own weak
ness, tendcrly, silently, cautiously Nd-
vance and fall hack Grsngers being
new element. their strength not known,
causes little fcvcriShment and more
caution. So We may say that the Demo
crats, Republicans, CONSERVATIVES and
Grangcrs, are like boys at marbles:
You shoot first; yoV give the first out,
and III plumpat you. Consequently no
outs ss yet given. To make this COM
municstion full, without talking Of crops,
hogs or Beecher, ! will give you revised
list Of names spoken Of for the Lcgis-
laturc. Mr. II. V. ChediStcr, Democrat
and Granger;:.J John Kierans, midelcmani

full of energy; Hon. W. +. Arnold,

wing of the Democracy, and by a
coalition with the Republicans 1t
is expected he will b. the sole
