There are plenty of candidates
for all the offices, except for the

There will be no party nominations,

1t is supposed that there will be
a candidate from Hancock county
for district attorney, and that he
will turn up at the eleventh hour
aud go it on the bushwhacking
style. One Of our reasons for this
opinion is hat we have a chronic
candidate here who is always after
some office, and as we have not
heard of his being "a candidate tor
any other Office we suppose that he
is laying back for this one.
