There was - great deal of pulling Rud
hhultug among tho politicians Of the
county yesterday whr gathered IN tho city
to confer and deal aud trado aud buy aud
sell and cheat over the Republican nomi
nations u bo mIdo at tho April primaries;
but thCco was nothing evolved out of 1t at
all exec { a black eye for llarve Raymond
&ud the determination of John ii. bandis
tu run for the Sepate against Mylin his
frieuds Insist that kurtz's decision To stay
IN tho field will cripple Myliu aud that tho
latter Is under obligations incurred four
years ago 10 give Kurtz clear track now;
failing IL do this, kurtz will stay in the
field, even should it result in Withdrawing
enough votes from Mylin to deloat him.
the nag Boss.
Levi Senseug seems to bo tho only man
to whom everybody looks TO make some
sort OF a combination no has the skill,
the experience aud a decided political fol
lowing. tic has tho nerve to collect sub
scrptOns to the 'poJl," the capital 20
put up" for "short ticket" and the
means to put IL through. All roads in local
politics lead to tho castle on the alley
1t seems, however, that he has as yet
| committed himself to nothing but To Tom
| lusOn for sheriff; with a strong iuchna-
ton toward Atlee for judge, To crafty
grudge against Judge Patterson for as
senting to the license Of the 'Snapper
! Box" willingness To take Skies for
! prothOnotary "if things 90 are made sat
istaotOry," and a readiness To put Smith,
for Congress, at the head of his ticket IL
no needs Modoc engiue to pull it through.
Tho things that all tho politicians of
experience seem tO agreo to are that IL will
| be a hig campaign with "pleuty Of money"
that the largest pole will kuock the per
simmon, that the best arranged combina.
ttUn will win, that there will be finally two
perfect com onatious aud that in their ar
range Ecment past associations and iactiOual
lines will be almost utterly disrcgarded.
The Uongrossiona, Contest
DE-. =. J. Roebuck has been quietly
feeling his way toward tho congressional
nomination by distributing circular con-
taiuiug the following iuterrogatories and
soliciting confidential answers to them
" Is the predominant sentiment in your
district in favor Of the denomination of the
Hon. A. Herr Smith for Congress ~
Should tho contest be confined n Mr,
Smith and myself, bow would the vote Of
your district probably be divided 2'
"lt your disposition aud time will
allow Of any advice Or suggestion, whether
favorable or otherwise, 1t will bo accepta
BILE, and considered private, il You 50 dc
sire"
AS the doctor has not yet announced
himself as q candidate for Congress it Is
believed that a considerable number of his
circulars fell upon stOncy places. There
is no lack Of desire among the practical
politicians TO beat Smith, aud Col. sam
Shoch, Henry Baumgardner. JnO. \.
HIestaui. B. +. Eshloman, J. Hay Drown
and NJ. BrOsius are among the names can.
ydSsGd in this connection, though no indi.
vldual has yet been found willing to stanC
b the racket. Mr.. Hestand's expecte,
early return 10 tho city may hasten the
decision of this matter, and IL is certain NJ
Combination will be- finally agreed upon
until "thc head of the ticket " is fixed.

- Just as the Old Politician ,fas turning

. offices, the reporter laid his iingC
Q on two Of the above names aud was abou
d TO point out tho impossbility of arrangin
9 them on tho same combination. The c

sponged out the whole of the combinations
with pious ejaculation that the subjeC

would have a Chaucs to "see some of thor
chappies from out around Ephrata."
