LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
On WITH THE DANCE.


The Republican Primaries in Motion.
There was a general exodus Of politi-
clans to the country last evening, and Ee-
tween and IL p. m. it was almost impos-
sible for the -gatherer or the ward
hummer to find any prominent Hog
Ringer or Bull Ringer. The movement
out of town was partly to get rid of the
opportunities of the suckers and largely to
tion fund into the rural districts where the
orders will be needed and where the money
will do the most good.
All day yesterday there were new trades
being made, new combinations fixed and
new frauds arranged.
Somebody is to be cheated.
Every fellow thinks it is the other fcl-
low.
The Irishman who laughed at the bull
and was tossed over the fence was glad 0
had his laugh first.
The bummers were striking'' the pol
iticians at every street and alley corner.
At 3 p. M, yesterday, one of them, who
was sent by the INTELLIGENCER man to
find the market price, reported that if he
and his pals were at the Sixth ward polls
at 3 p. IN. to participate in the organiza-
tion and voted right they would be paid 81
each and as much beer as was necessary.
They got some Of the beer last night
and were Oh hand today at the proper
time.
Griest's friends were willing to bet $50
to 500 on him last night and were willing
to lay an even wager that two of these
three would be elected -Griest, Mylin and
Davis. Our best reports from the country
are that Smith is safe. He will poll very
large vote in the city-larger than ever
and will not go ont of the Southern dis
trict behind. In the north the Bull Ring
politicians are not by any means solid for
Griest-John NJ. Stehman, DR.. P. J. Roe
buck and Fred Smith are for Smith Sen
senig has taken little interest in Griest's
fight, and Hiestand has no confidence in it.
Smith will beat Griest 1000 in the upper
district, and that will settle it.
Nobody is district attorney yet, but
Davis has the call.
A big fund has been thrown into the
city for Mylin and that is expected to
make him.
The funniest twist yet given to the cam
paign is sudden and general movement
by the Bull Ring to instruct for Grant
for president and Quay for U. S. senator.
This is a "still hunt"
These names were not printed on the
regular ticket, but late yesterday the short
ticket with them was got out, and a
general and quiet effort to vote them
through is depended on to secure the
most startling effect of the present CAM
paign-including Gatchelrs nomination.
Bleeding Candidates.
Marietta Times.
AS a sample of the manner in which can
didates for the various positions in this
county are bled by unprincipled scamps, |
we are permitted to publish the following
letter received by a candidate for the Leg
islature last week. This is one of probably |
one hundred received by each candidate,
and we do not doubt that the same fellow
sent similar letter to almost every candi-
date. We suppress names at the request
of the party who received the letter, but
we have the original in our possession.
The following is the letter verbatim ct lit
