The ramua'cn u this county is un-
usually active ami interesting. The Re-
publicsns are making dead set for
Sheriff and are sanguine, but jenkins,
Democratic nominee, IL making very
energetic canvass and will more than
likely be elected. We will give good
majority forthe state ticket and elect our
county ticket generally. The Green
hackers are making an active canvass
and il this thought they have full,
sscrti, understanding with the RepublI'
cans. This IL certainly no ~ To the
leadsr., but the really honest voter can
hardly lee seluccd into the support oi
their shameless bargain.
In Pleasants. there are quite a mum

offices and they are "tor" up SOM.
what, but Peasants vii, give the general
ticket 100 majority, and 1t in more than
likely the regular nominees will be
elected
In Writ the same condition prevails.
The general ticket will have 700 majority
but We NAV loose some candidates for
local Offices
In Tyler, ". are always gaining
ground and ill continue Ia gain until
she again becomes reliably Democratic.
We Will elect the greater part OF onr

Our estimate il. that the State ticket
will carry this Senatorial District 10y
over $40 majority, and Wilson will beat
Hutchinson AT least 100 NOR. than the
State ticket will have. We will have
an immense meeting here on Saturday,
Oct. 9Th, with Juds" Merrick. Hon.
