Tie Germans generally have acted

While on the other hand about one

slO not wish to reflect on that po--
ti"n Of the party, but IL it not re-
n,arkable how singularly fortunate
they are In obtaining nominations.
We only asked for one place On the
ticket aud that was the nomination
Of Mr.. Frcysc,lag for Treasurer,
hut he had to stand aside to make
room for oi,e Of the elect. We are
informed that one Of tho County
Commissioners said that the next
Treasurer would be compelled t. hold
his office at the Court House, trying
In this way to disqua!ify Mr.. Frey
