Candidates.
The primary elections for the purpose oil
choosing delegates TO the County Conyen:
tion, Ia Be held next Saturday, will be held
to.day In accordance with the call OF the
Gounty Executive Committee, at the usual
places Of meeting for such purposes IN tne
respective districts. The hours ior hold
ing the elections in the country districts
are from 2 10 4 P. NJ, and IN the city from
7toy. The different candidates Tor the
various positions have worked like beay-
ers for some days at laying the ropes IN
the best way for their own purposes, and
are all confident OF winning. There is
one marked contrast between the
canyassing by the Republican can.
didates and that Of the DEM
ocratic aspirants prior 10 their primaries
last week. Last week there were seventy

dates for the Democratic nominations.
This week there has not been one. This
statement Is made on the authority OF
Justice OF the Peace and several other
gentlemen who have been close obser'
yers. and who certainly are in positions
10 know whereof they speak. The TACT
needs no comment; its significance Is 80
plain that even he who runs for office on
the Democratic ticket may read. II 10 70
be hoped, in the interests OF Republican
snccess. that the same favorable contrast
NAV be observed at to.day's primaries, as
compared with those OF last Saturday.
While considerable curiosity Is felt by
the public at large, concerning the re-
snits In ali cases, yet the sheritfalty is the
centre OF the most absorbing interest.
The candidates prominently mentioned
for this position, are Geo. FL. Parks, ]. w.
Schultze and Louis Bayha. All OF these
aspirants have been before the pubic lor
some weeks, and have exerted strong efforts
10 secure the nomination. Each also. lnas
enlisted host OF friends, and the conlest
for the delegations has been hard, though
conducted with the utmost iriendliness'
Mr.. Schultze's strength naturally ies
on the South side OF the creek, while
I siessrs, Parks and BaYha each WIZ
make good showing north o.
the creek, though their competitor VIII
have some votes in all the districts. A
coalition between two OF the candidates,
Bayha and Schultze, is limited at by the
friends OF Mr.. Parks, who allege that the
object Of the combination is to beat Parks
In the upper wards by combined effort,
and then throw the united strength In Ia
vor OF the one OF the two parties who
shall deyelope the most strength tnde-
nendent Of these votes in the convention.
This is, however, denied in toto by the
partisans OF Schultze and Bayha. We Do
not know what grounds there are for the
theory that such an arrangement is con-
Il templated and only give the rumor as
rumor, for whatit Is worth.
For Prosecuting Attorney, I. j. Hugus
w. ], W. Cowden and A. b. Caldwell are
the prominent candidates, and II there are
any dark horses we have so far failed e
4 hear OF them. These gentlemen are oil
well known attorneys, and have made
fair fight
In regard TO the nominations for mem
bers Of the House Of Delegates considers,
bic difference OF opinion Is expressed
There Is, however, spontaneity AUG
unanimity in the determination to MAKE
w. P. Hubbard and o. D. Thompson twe
| OF the four candidates which makes theil
nomination reasonably sssuied. AgeneraI
recognition is noticeable Of the NECESSITY
d for a lawyer OF ability and force IN tne
delegation, and for this position MI. hub
bard Is most eminently qualified. Lis
standing as leading member oil the legaal
fraternity OF the State would give to hi
utterances weight which would make
him Invaluable TO Ohio county, and ena
Bic her TO takethe position which is right
fully hers as the leading delegation 81 the
House. In Mr.. Thompson the party would
have a good candidate. He Is capable and
. trustworthy, and an excellent representa-
live Of the workingmen Of the city:
I The other gentlemen mentioned in con
nection with this part OF the ticket are
. numerous. Among them Q: O. Dewey
, DR.. Tom. o Edwards, Capt. VIM, Travis
W. F. Stifel, VIM. Hastings, Frederick W
/ Goodfellow, B. B. Doyener and perhaps al
! many more, all OF whom will come into
the Convention with some backing. What
, we have said Of Messrs. Hubbard and
, Thompson must not be construed as In
any way disparaging any Of the other can
didates. From the men offered 1t will be
no difficult matter TO select q Legislative
ticket the superior in every respect Of that
with which twill come in contest before
the voters Of the county next TALL.
