THE JUDICIAL CONVENTION AT
BARNEsyIILE.

Cur readers were informed by q
special dispatch to the REGISTER, yes
lerIay morning, that the Republican
Judicial Convention held at Barnesvllle,
on Tuesday, adjourned without making
nomination for Judge. 1t will be
remembered that a couple of weeks AZ"
Democratic convention met st the
same place to select candidate
t'r the same position. There
were two candidates before that
Convention for nomination, Judge
CHAMBERS of Belmont county, the pres
ent incumbent, and WM. OKEY of Mon
roe When the convention came TO.
ge!her it was discovered that each aspi-
rant had about one-half the delegates rs
i!herents. So they managed to disagree
on some preliminary questions, and to
burst up in bad humor. The half of the
convention which adhered to OKEY pro-
Ceeded TO nominate him, and the other
half proceeded to their homes in disgust.
Ar. OKEY therefore stands rs the regular
Homlnee of the party for the place. But
syery large number of the Democrats
OF Belmont don't recognize Mr.. OkEr
ss their nominee, so they insist upon
voting for Judge CHAMBERS.
This is the situation when the Repub-
h'an Convention comes together. Att.r r
looking over the ground, that Conven' :
ton concludes to adjourn with
ont making nomination; and
IN order 10 leave the members OF the
party perfectly tree to select between the
Two candidates, the Convention forebore
10 even express preference. As it DOW
looks the Democrats of Monroe county
together with large slice of the Belmont
Democracy, will support Mr.. OKEY, as
will most of the Republicans of Monroe.
lpdge CHAMBERS will receive probably
majority of the Democratic vote of
Belmont, ani also pretty solid Repub-
hcsn vote of that county.
