The County Convention oil the lem
perance Reform party met last evening
to prepare for meeting Of their state
Convention tomorrow at p. m. The
indications are they will nominate BID
we'll.
The Democratic delegates to the con-
vention to-day crowded the Cosmopoli-
tan Hotel last evening. The candidates
und their friends are very active and
each one confident Of success. The del
egates generally express themselves firm
in the belief that the Democracy have
tho game in their hands. Some go SO
far as to claim they cant go wrong, but
are bound to elect anyone they choose to
put up. The general impression seems
| to be that Irwin stands the best chance
for Governor. and that Findley will be
ont of the field after the first ballot,
leaving johnson as his only competitor.
Everything is thought to hinge on the
Rubernatorial nomination, and specula-
| tions as to other officer are necessarily
very indefinite.
