THE POLITICAL SITUATION.
Some CanvassiBg for tie County O.Hces

some CanSasblDS Tor TIE County OiAces
Little was done in Republican politics
yesterday, as but few OF tho Mulhooiys
were in town, the fall of snow probably
keeping many of them away. Kirk Brown,
who was candidate for sheriff three years
ago, is now aspiring to the Office of regis
ter. He was in town yesterday looking
whether there were any probabilities of a
set-up in his favor.
Toby Hershey came up smiling yester-
day and spent most of his time III the court
house watching the movements OF George
Eaby. He opened his campaign by IN
serting his advertisement in the Aet' Era,
leaving the Examiner ont III the cold.
Toby kills two birds with one stone by
his political card, which is as original in
its style as that of Henry Kurtz three
years ago, which had tobacco worm on
its back. On one side of Tobias cal ID is
the announcement that he is candidate
for clerk of quarter sessions and is resi-
dent Of Rapho township; on the other
side he informs his political friends aud
the pubic in general, that he is Il dealer
in agricultural implements. Geo. Eaby
has been getting in some solid work
of late, and if Toby wants to win he VIII
have to spend most of his time in this city
from now up to the day Of the primaries.
John ii. High, candidate for sheriff,
was buzzing around among the politicians
yesterday, and he is certain that he will
he taken, and Abe Keller left.
DIR. Compton wants to get OF Il good
strong set-up, as he thinks that is the
only way to win. If any one doubts that
the doctor is working let them take Il
stroll through the court house on one OF
these nice days. They will find the doe
tor smiling on every one and at the same
time soliciting their influence. The doc
tor guarantees thai if he gets in every
clerk in court house row Eow viii stay i'll
and everyone now out who waits in will
get there. That ought to settle it.
Ben Wisslcr, of Clay, thinks thai i!c will
bc the next register, but some of the
"stalwarts arc Gown on him because
his district did not go for Tom Davis.
Davis has his knife into Wisslcr up to the
handle.
Samuel Nj Myers will be ii candidate
for county comm! ssioner, and he thinks he
will be the candidate of all the rings
and the people, too, and his election is
sure.
Sam. Matt Friuy is getting his work in
for prOthOnot:.Iy md John ID. SkiieS IS
talked of as the Gar:; horse whom his OPP
pOnents will unblanket.
Coroner Mislllcr wants to be reelected,
and he has been doing hard work. He
does not ask people TO support him, but
he informs all that lie is a candidate. and
if he receives their votes they will be
thankfully received. Jake IIcline has not
opened his compaisn yet, nor has Peter
HOnahmon, l.. ID. GalaShcr. Of Mount
Joy, will bc candidate. and ne thinks
he is solid in the upper end. He
may bc mistaken thcrc,:lS Coroner MisElcI
has been over considerable ground lately.
and he has ''secn'' great many pcnr!.
to whom he has made several speeches.
