Aspiring Politicians.

The present indications are that no
political convention for the nominal
ton Of county ticket will be made
in this county this year by either of
the political parties, but that the field
will be again left open and free to all
who may desire to enter the course
for any Of the several positions to be
filled. This seeming to be the case, we
have kept one ear open to catch the
names Of those who are talked of.
IS well as Of those who talk Of them
selves, and, as usual, we find there are
quite a number Of orr local politi-
clans, both old and young, who seem
to be perfectly willing to sacrifice their
own comfort and natural preferences,
for the sake of seeing a good man in
the respective official chairs Of the
county" We Will make note of
those we have heard mentioned, and if
there are still Others whose names do
not appear they must not blame Us for
showing partiality, but simply talk
louder when they see us hanging
round for items. To begin with, friend
loIcomb seems to have the field all to
himself in the race for the County
Clerkship, and as he IS pre-eminently
the right man in the right place, he
will no doubt be reelected without OPP
position.
For County Treasurer, Mr.. Richie,
also, seems to be without an opponent.
though it is whispered that he will
have one in due time, while no name
Is lisped. Mr. Richie will undoubt-
edly be reelected, as he should be for
he makes good and careful Treasur-
or, and has had the office but one
term, and being perfectly competent,
is by courtesy entitled to i second
term, at least
For Register Of deeds, the present
incumbent, Mr. d. Geo. Morrison, it
Is said, will have an opponent in the
person Of Mr.. c. II. Sunderland,
though possibly Mr. J. Bond Jr., may
be the man.
For Clerk of the Court, Mr.. Charles
Lord will ask reelection, and his op-
ponents are, Messrs. G. Z. A. Stanley,
L. II. Brown W. H. Webb, and 0. i.
Britton
For District Attorney several on
tries have been made up to date, and
the list as it now stands Is, s. Bacon,
present incumbent, d. +. Roberts,
Champ Green and Peter l.eclairc.
For County Surveyor we have the
present holder Of that position, Mr..
A. X Smith, with L. b. Banks, r.
\. Williams and J.. d. Newton as
competitors.
The Sherihality is another office
much sought after, why, we are unable
10 tell. As the present officer is not
eligible to a second term Mt this time.
he will have to take a back seat for at
least two years. For his place the
candidates are James Newton, Pat.
Sisk, Ed. Roubyor, A. Zachau Frank
Gage and John Simon
For Superintendent Of Schools, we
have the present incumbent, Mr.. /.
W. Gates, and Mr.. NJ. NIAGARA. Mr..
Britton has also been mentioned for
this position
For Coroner, J. D. Whitney has
been asked to run for the position, but
we do not know whether he has con
scnted to the use Of his name OK not
Whit. would make a good one, and the
office kind Of belongs to his business
anyway, and he might as well sit on
the dead bodies, should we be So I'M
fortunate rs to have any, as to furnish
the collins in which to bury them.
1t will be seen by this no doubt i'm
perfect summary, that the list Of as
pirants is such that a very good list Of
local officers might be chosen, and
still have good men left.
We will not now declare our pre-
terences, for we might want to make
some changes when all the names are
known, but may take occasion to do
50 next week. In the meantime let
all aspirants report at the TINES Of
