Saturday night was the time appointed
for the Republicans to elect ten dele
gates to represent each district in
the County Convention, which meets
at the Court Aouse, this morning
There was little excitement at any OF
the voting places, if we except the Clay
district poll. at which place, for little
time, the scene was rather lively. The
only veil known contest was that for the
nomination of Sheriff, Messrs. +. A. Britt
and Frank johnson being the prominent
candidates, and they were dong the big
gest amount of work. In speaking with
them yesterday they both felt sangu:ne
that they would carry of the prize;
while other astute Republicans claim
that the Great Unknown would be the
lucky man. A prominent Radical last
night gave us his estimate as to the
strength as follows: Britt, l,O4Oi
johnson, 952; j. R. Hubbard,
! the balance. Of course this is only his
estimate, and how near it is to cor.
rect we will have to wait until after the
convention to decide.
We have all the districts except
Liberty and Triadelphia, and the result
is as follows:
