/ There are indications that the
Republican convention which will
convene In this city next Saturday
will be one Of the largest known In
Marion County for years. AS the
opening of the campaign approaches
signs of gehernl and enthusiastic
interest in all parts of the county are
manifest. The character of the men
chosen from the various townships
as delegates, as will be seen upon
examination of the partial lis. here
with published, betskens earnest,
faithful work for the party and the
people.
There will be seventy-six votes In
the Convention If the townships are
all feilly represented, as they doubt
less will be. These seventy-six
lpatriotic number, and we know they
will be patriotic men) picked men Of
the people, chosen by the masses OF
the party in the several localities to
do for them an important work, will
not betray their trusts. To them is
confided the business Of selecting the
men who are to represent Marion
county in the State Legislature, and
men to fill pcry important offices in
the county.
The fact that the party and the
people have n deep interest In the
resuitof next Saturdays work, and
appreciate its. Importance, Is good
reason for the other fact that large
number of names have been sug-
gested as possible nominees. No
man has announced his own name
through the press, and in all the list,
ifit were written, very few would be
found who are seekers. We give be-
low The names Of some of the gen.
tlemen whose names have been
prominently mentioned for the sew
eral offices to be filed:
Fur Ss,adfor-Hon. j. M. Cathcart

Knoxville; s. Y. Gose, A. w. Rouze,
Swan s.. X. Beilamy, Washington ;
Daniel Sherwood, Indiana, are urged
by friends; but the only willing
ones, 30 far as we know, are Messrs.
Cathcart, French and Welch. There
is a prevailing sentiment in num-
Der OF townships in favor of Mr.. Col.
lins, aud we have heard from many
kthcauttsrsssce: 'tMr. Collins mus

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES gentlemen
named above have nearly all been

OF course large majority OF these
names will not be presented In the
convention, and "A number may be
which are not here given. From
these lists splendid ticket, and one
which will win can, and doubtless
will be chosen--a ticket which VIII
itself be so expressive OF the true
spirit and principles ofthe party that
no platform will be necessary.
There is now no appearance o'
cloud to threaten want OF harmony
In the convention.
