The republicans OF this county in
Mass Convention Saturday, nominated the
following ticket J. Wesley West, for
County Judge; r. A. Burnside, for Circuit
Clerk, George Patterson, for County Clerk;
L. w. Harris, for Coroner. and John Per-
kins, colored, for Jailer. There were three
contestants for the nomination for Jailer,
and every means was used 10 defeat the
"darkey," but as the colored republicans
outnumbered the white, three to one, he
came out Of the contest with large ma
jority. 1t Is but just to say, some Of the
white party leaders stood by the negro af-
ter the first ballot. The democrats seem
rather jubilant over the matter, and will
make a strong effort to capture every Office
in August.
