DATES.

Oxford County Republican Convention
will meet at the Court HOnse, Paris Hill
next Tuesday, June 97th. There will be
81 delegates, and they are to select candi'
date. for the following officers Two Sen
ators, Sheriff, two Commissioners, CLERK
Of the Courts, Register of Deeds for botl
Eastern and Western Districts, County
Attorney and Treasurer. The election
will be q very important one 70 Oxford
County, as il involves possible change
in a majority OF the offices, and the Con-
vention will exercise great care in making
nominations, that the ticket may be a
strong and acceptable one.
As candidates for Senators the follow
ing gentlemen are mentioned From the
Western section OF the County Mr.. +. I.
Stearns OF Lowell is presented. We do
not learn that he has any competitor. From
the Eastern section there will be two aud
perhaps three candidates. We have al
ready spoken OF J. W. Clark OF Andoyer.
Mr.. Slivsnus Poor is also 10 be candidate
Many OF the friends OF Hon. j. Y. Swasey
OF Canton have urged him TO become can
didate, and though he will not enter into a
canvass for the position, he will doubtless
accept the nomination If rendered TO him
by the Convention.
For Sheriff We hear Of four candidates :
c. NJ. wormell Of Bethel, W. o. Douglass
OF Paris, J. L. Parker of Stoneham and
Jordan Stacy OF Porter. Mr.. Stacy is not,
as we understand, making canvass for
the place, but his nomination will De urged
by friends from the west. He would prob
ably accep. the nomination IL rendered
him.
Hon. Geo. +. Hammond OF Paris will be
q candidate for Commissioner. Mr.. Ham
mond has served one term, and was depoSed
or set aside by Gov. Plaisted. +. y. Brad
lev Of Fryeburg will be candidate from
the West. He was a candidate in lSSO
when the party was defeated, and his
friends will claim for him denomination.
For Clerk OF Courts there are three can
didates s. K. Hutchins of Runford, A. ;.
Austin Of Dixfeld and J. A. Roberts OF
Norway.
For County Attorney James 5. Wright,
esq, OF Paris, is the only candidate we
have heard mentioned. Mr.. Wright is at
present Clerk Of Courts, faithful and efli-
cient officer, well acquainted with County
Affairs. 1t will be well for the County to
retain his services in the capacity of At
torney, as he prefers that position, because
Il gives him an opportunity 70 practice
before the Courts which is denied him as
Clerk.
For Register OF Deeds from the Eastern
district there will be no opposition to the
present Register, J. F. Stanley, csc. Mr..
Stanley is most popular officer. Always
attentive 10 his duties, obliging and cour-
tsous TO all, he has lots Of friends in all
parties who will see TO it that he IS re-
nominated and elected. Wa have no posi-
tive information from the Western district,
but presume that the present Register, 5.
c. Hobbs, esq, will be re-nominated-
The present Treasurer having held the
ONCE i've years, has decided not to again
be q candidate, but make room for others
deserving Of party notice. j. c. Marble
OF Paris wealthy retired merchant will be
. candidate for this place; also Mr.. S. E.
Newell Of the hrm of Hutchinson Newell
Of Paris Hill. We have not heard o.: any
candidates from other towns.
