Observation-Disclosures.

The convention to nominate Demo
cratic candidates for Senator and Repre- |
scntativcs in this district, will not PROB
ably meet until after the Democratic |
State convention has met and done lis
work, but the people are commencing 10
prepare for the canvass, and are discuss
ing the probable nominees. Hon. Jesse
Ware, of MON, the present Senator, has
been faithful in the discharge of his du-
ties. lie has the confidence of his con-
stitucnts, and among his colleagues has
much influence. Outside the Senate and
in it lac is recognized rs gentleman
above reproach, as Il pure man, con'ci-
cntious, honest and able. If Mr..
Ware should desire second term
we have no doubt he would be
nominated by acclamaton. But
we are informed that he will not consent
to hold the Office again. and that jackson
county will clam the right to have the
nominee. Jackson is a large and a rich
county, and we have no doubt her claim
IN this regard will not be denied by either
| Union or Alexander. But who will Jack
son suggest: We do not know. 1t is
| said that Hon. +. T.. Albright will be a
| candidate, and VIC have reason to believe
he will be. With Albright in the field
there would result one OF the warmcst
battles possible, and his election would
surprise the people who would declare
his success impossible. In 1874 his de-
feat was predicted, but he came out of
the contest leading the field. When
this young gentleman determines 10 run
he runs with ,wiitnc,s that surprises
everybody.
For Representatives, no persons have
yet been prominently named. If Jack
son obtains the senator, Union will be
entitled to one Representative and Alley.
ander to one and the party should select
men who in the House can exercise some
influence. There was never before tim,
when this district was 30 much as now in
need OF energetic, intelligent and inllucn.

Burdencd by taxation, we must demand
relief from the legislature. Induced by
the Grab Law TO place upon ourselves &

OF the state to take it from our shoulders
the state having by the decision of the
supreme court refused TO perform its par,
OF the contract. The State must assume
our railroad debt, and the members OF
General Assembly from this district must
make this assertion fact. Located a,
