ruH REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Before the BULLETIN again makes its
appearance the Republicans of Esmer.
aida County will have met in Conven-
ton at Candelaria and nominated the
ticket with which there is every prob.
ability they will march to victory
on the fourth day of November. The
Convention will meet next Tuesday
and it is hoped that every man who
has claim to present or grievance
to urge will be present, and that all
differences, either local or geogrspl
cal, will there be amicably settled
The various candidates for the several
nominations have, almost to man
made q square, open fight, and it is
impossible TO name with certainty,
even this near the time, the successful
asp'rant to a single nomination The
county is very evenly divided in its
choice for the candidates for the lead
ing offices, and some hard work and
considerable log-rolling may be looked
for.
For the nomination for Sheriff. nj.
J. Purcell. John Blair, L. y. Gu hman,
Joseph W. Bleakley and II. NJ. Jewett
are the announced candidates. While
Oh claim . following, the fight will
probably be narrowed down to two in
the caucus, and the winner in the Con.
vention will be the next Sheriff.
George j. Garrison and John G.
Todman are the only candidates who
have announced themselves for County
Clerk. The latter 10 too modest to
blow his own horn, but can with pro-
priety say that MIR. Garrison is one of
the most popular young men in the
county, that he is thoroughly qualified,
and that, il he gets the nomination, he
will hnd no one working harder for
his election than his present opponent.
There are only two candidates an
nounced for the nomination for
Recorder, F. II. Rice, the present com
petsnt incumbent, and John 7. Jones.
Of Candelaria. There can be no q,Ies-
tioA as to the qualifications Of these
two gentlemen, and either of them CAN
poll full party vote. Ni. Rice has
held the Office two years and has
made record to be proud Of, having
been the very hest Recorder the
county ever had. Mr.. Jones has never
held public Office, but he has held very
important positions of private trust,
and has always been found thoroughly
honest and up TO the mark in every
particular.
D. J. Levi. is candidate for the
nomination for District Attorney.
Judge Lewis has been District Attor-
Aey four years and came into the
position from the Recorders office.
There is no man in the county with
more friends than Mr.. Lewis. and, If
he secures the nomination, he will
make d very hard and II winning fight

that any Of these Offices will go
begging.
Let every man put his shoulder
nanfully to the wheel and work with
the aim OF securing the strongest
nominations, and no one should come
out OF the Convention sulking over
hope deferred or thwarted ambition.
