LOCAL POLITICAL NOTES.
As Diseerned Through the Telescope
of ~ News Reporter.

As the time for holding the primar-
les draws lea local aspirants for
office are coming to the surface, but
seem TO be cautiously scanning the
political field. So far the pronounced
aspirants are limited to a small num-
Der, and for some of our county
offices and members OF the Legisla-
ture, no one seems anxious to enter
political arena. 1t is not, however,
at all likely that, when the conven-
tons meet, these minor offices will go
begging for suitable material to make
the contest /:
On the Democratic side we have
Judge Lander and AL. Nuckols as as
pirants for Sherih-both good Inen.
The only pronounced candidate on
the Republican side for the same
Office is A. j. Guilford OF Duck Creek,
a gentleman well and favorably
ably known in Eastern White Pine.
IL is pretty certain, however, that
other contestants will come forward
before the meeting OF the convention.
Wash Woodberry and b. l.. Miller
are marshaling their forces for the
Democratic nomination for Assessor.
Both have many adherents who will
stay by them to the end. The conte /
between Wash and Ben promises to
be "A hard struggle, though no per-
sonal ill-feeling exists between the
friends of the respective contestants
o. NJ. Converse is the only pro-
nonneed aspirant for the Republican
nomination for Assessor. But others
who are lying low will no doubt come
forward III due time.
For Recorder, >. T.. Starrett of
Hamilton, Republican, and Dick
Adams of Cherry Greek, Democrat.
are the only avowed candidates. and
none others are likely to show mp.
For Clerk and District Attorney,
John MeKernan and G. NJ. Thackston,
so far appear to have no opponents on
the Democratic side. Major Treece
or IL. Bush, the former of Eberhardt
and the latter ofHamilton, may, how
ever, give Mr. Thackston a heat over
the political track.
Since his recent visit to Cherry
Creek, Mr.. Merrill Of Eureka seems
TO have changed bis mind in regard
to entering the field for the District
Judgeship. leaving the purse clear
To Judge Rives for the Democratic
nomination. At least this is what
we infer from the Eureka papers in
timation that Mr.. Merrill intends to
stand in for Attorney General. There
is no denying the fact, White Pine
Democracy are largely in favor OF
Judge Rives. an Cherry Greek is al
most n unit for him.
TIE Eureka Sentinel says: at IS re-
ported that Wm. &. Love, Esq, Of
White Pin will be a candidate forthe
Democratic nomination OF Attorney
General We are not prepared 10
confirm the Sentinel's report, but we
know that Mr.. Love would have the
hearty support of the delegates from
this county Tor the nomination. aud
If he concludes to stand in his chances
ought to be good, as White Pine
county is not likely to ask for any
other 5 ate Office from the Democrat
ie Convention.
From conversations with leading
Democrats here, who have lately
Travelled over the county, we feel
pretty sure la stating that Lieut.. Gov
II Adams is the choice of the
White Pine county Democracy for
Governor. Caravan has some fol-
lowers, bat the White Pine delegation
will DO almost "A unit for Adams.
