The Republican nominee for Sheriff in
this county will not have such walk.oyer
for his election as he did in the nominating
convention. Prominent Republicans are
even going so far as to bet and put up the
money that he will be defeated The Repub.
licans of this county are all at sea and none
count confidently on the election OF any
part of their county ticket, while there are
others who are very outspoken in the opin-
ion that there is no show at all for it. This
will make the contest for the Democratic
nomination more interesting. So far the
two most prominent candidates are
James b. - Darrah, of this city and
John Barton, of Colerain township.
Either of these gentlemen would make ex.
cellent officers, and either OF them would
be elected over Sedgwick. For the first
time in number of years there is only one
candidate from this city, and this being the
case, the claims of Bellaire will receive
of the convention than when
there is fight on hand between two fac
tons of the party here. The greatest OBJ.
stacle in the way of the nomination OF a
Bellaire man for sheriff is the fact that the
county treasurer elect, Mr.. Ed. II. Feeley
is from this city, and this gives the rural
fellows" a good card to play. But to discuss
the matter on the points OF efficiency
and availability Bellaire's claims would
rank high because it would foster and keep
alive the Republican dissatisfaction here.
Such tame conventions as that OF the Re.
publcans does not fill the party with en-.
thusiasm. why" said a prominent Re.
publican the other day, lust the night

urged ex-Sheriff Cochran to come out
as candidate and pledged him part OF the
delegation from that township, PRt 10
wouldn'. allow the Use OF his name for the
reason that he believes there is no show for
Republican success in the county this
fall" all Of which is calculated to cheer
e Democratic heart.
