II the Judge should he a Caiduiate Tor
Guberuatorial honors, he would secure
very large vote ia this bounty; IN
TACT the whole county wuuld almost 90

Is second choice. The republicans
would be- very we'll satisfied with MI.
Sturgiss, but they have nG much to say
on the subject around herc. There Is
no doubt but what they will be guided
somewhat by the actions OF the Green
back party. II they can form coali-
ton with them in this county they will
play the same game they did In 1873.
Candidates for the other positions on

hearty support. As | stated above, the
Republicans will shape their actions ia

very little discussed only through The
state papers, and | am sorry to say
those papers do not reach the mass OF

movement as far as the County Court
system Is concerned, and that To the re-
Iipi uf the tax payers. II the matter Is
not properly put before the people they
will certainly vote the amendment
down in this county. THIS is the true
statement ot the ease rs tar as We have
been able to learn. We venture to say
that more than one-half uf the people
