The Republicans Of Philadelphia SC
lected their county ticket yesterday
renominating Geo. :. Graham for dis
trict attorney and w. f. LittletOn for
clerk of quarter sessions; naming Dep
uty Coroner Thomas J. Powers for coro
ner and +. Harper Jeffries for controller.
The strength of the nominations is pop

put into the field w. w. Ker or Col
Robert L. Dechert for district attorney
Gen. Geo. II. Snow;en for clerk of quar-
ter sessions, DR.. W. II. Hooper for
coroner and ). Davis Page for controller
The Republicans of the best political
judgment, appear to bs confident of
Graham's election and hopeless of
Jeitries'. This feeling arises mainly from
the attitude of the independent Repub-
licans Of the city, represented by the
Committee of One Hundred, and fairly
expressed by the Ledger, which, in its
