Mr.. John E. Gormly, of Coal
township will be candidate for Rep
resentative before the Democratic
Primary Election. Mr.. Gormly is a
first class business man, andis well ed
ucated. His life has been that of a
business man, and by his strict honesty
and sobriety and close attention to bu-
siness he has won the respect and con-
fidence of all who know him. He is
one of the few men who will do what
he thinks is right and just, no matter
whether it be popular or unpopular.
He bears spotless reputation and if
he be elected the interests of the whole
county will be looked after and she
will never regret his election. Our
only objection to Mr.. Gormly is that
heis Democrat in its truest meaning
while we would prefer Nationalist
He undoubtedly would add strength
to his party in the county.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic Primary Election
which will be held on the 23d of Au-
gust is causing considerable anxiety
among the Democracy, and many
are speculating on the result.
The candidates for Represen tative
are Curtis Trovinger and John CORN
ly of Coal township. Mr. Gormly is
not personally acquainted in some of
our northern townships, but in all
probability will he before the nomina-
ton. Where he is known he will
poll the vote almost solid. 1t is diff
cult to say at this time which will be
the nominee, but if wave continues to
spread as it is now Mr.. Gormly will
undoubtedly be the nominee.
The next on the ticket will be the
Treasurer. Isaac Weaver and Noah
Karr are the only candidates in the
field. There is more speculating and
anxiety over this Office than all of the
ticket. it is conceded to Weaver to
be far the most popular of the two
men and will poll heavy vote wher-
ever he is known, and the probabili-
ties are are that he will go out OF
Thorn, Hopewell, Madison, Reading,
Clayton and jackson with from three
hundred and twenty-five to three hun
dred and seventy-five of a majority,
and it is claimed that he will carry a
majority of the votes in the balance Of
the townships. 1t would not surprise
us to hear when the vote has been
counted that Weaver had carried the
county by three or four hundred.
We have not heard much said re
garding the Prosecuting Attorney
The candidates fer Commissioner
are James Coyle and M. M. Griggsby
The probabilities are that Mr.. Coyl,
will be nominated. Although there
is very little said in regard to this
office.
There are quite a number of candi
dates for Infrmary Director, and i
would be difficult matter to say VIII
| will be the nominee. &C.
They can select strong ticket or
very weak one out of their candidates
if they select their best men it vii
help Trovinger through, but if the
should select the weaker, the most {
the ticket will be defeated.
Upon the action of the convention
depends the actions of the Republica
: and National conventions. All al
!, anxiously awaiting the result.

Frank Bear is at it again. Two weeks
last Sunday, while Isaac Cotterman and
family were absent from home, he was seen
coming from Cotterman's house with some
thing under his arm. When the family
returned they were informed that Bear had
been seen on the premises. A jug of ma
pie molasses had been taken from the eel
lar, but nothing else was missing The
next morning, on the demand of the owner
Bear gave up the molasses. Why don't
the people of this community rid them
selves Of this creature. Give him to un-
derstand that hereafter if he continues to
pursue the course he has been, they will
deal out to him just punishment.
