Special Correspondents Of the Intslligencsr.
The Democrats and Republicans have
both organized glee clubs and practice
several nights each week. Hancock and
Garfield clubs have been organized, and
before the campaign ia over you may ex-
pect to hear OF stirring times in old Brooke.
The Greenbackers are very sauguine.
A prominent member OF that party in
formed US q short time since that the
GreenbaCkers were going TO elect one
half OF the officers oi Brooke county this
fall. There is some little talk Of fusion
here. In conversation with leading men
Of the Republican party We find that they
are opposed to anything Of the kind. The
feeling seems to be to put a full ticket in
the field and vote It, win or lose. Because
the party has been in the minority is no
excuse for fusion or inactivity. This is
not the way to attain the majority.
Uncle Joe Gist informs US that General
Weaver, the Greenback candidate for
President, will address the people OF
Brooke sometime during the campaign.
The supposition is that the Greenback
slate will reveal the name OF Uncle Joe
Glst for the House OF Delegates; James
Hervey, for Prosecuting Attorney; Samuel
Blankensop and Henry @. Kimberland,
are both talked OF Tor Sheriff, and as to
Assessor We have heard no one named.
The announcements by Republicans for
the several offices to be filed are about
complete, except for the House OF Dele.
gates. No one thus far, seems inclined to
aspire for that position-that is no Repub-
lican. We have heard James Archer, Esq,
OF Cross Greek Township, favorably
spoken Of. Mr.. Archer would make a
good run, and II elected, would do credit
to the county and his constituents.
Lewis Browning, Chief Justice OF the
County Court, was in town last week.
Owing to the petition requesting ]. Q.
Palmer, Esq, to become candidate for
the Office OF Chief Justice, the present in
cumbent no doubt found his fences in
very demoralized condition. From pres.
ent indications it looks as il it would
hardly be worth while for any one to
bother himself much about the Office Of
Chief Justice, as the County Court system
will most certainly be abolished. May
the day speedily come.
Query-Are the commissioners named
in the constitutional amendment to be
voted for at the same time as the amend.
ment, or will there be a special election for
that purpose in case Of ratification? We
fall to find any provisions to that end.
But little II any wool has changed
handsy yet. Quite number Of prominent
wool buyers have been here in the past
two weeks.
We had thought that the delicacy in
making persons ages publicly known was
confined to the gentler sex generally. We
hear OF some OF the opposite sex who have
reached the ripe number OF three score
and ten who say that their hopes OF Sc.
curing a partner Of their Joys and sorrows
have been completely blasted by the CEN
sus man and the reporter.
We are indebted to Mr.. Joseph Linton,
one OF our most prominent small fruit
growers for some excellent samples, the
product OF the soil OF the Lewis Heights.
Mr.J. v. L. Rodgers, Of your city, Is on
a business tour through this section Of the
State. q. b. q.
