The flag of truce is apparent from the
camps of the slandered and slandercas.
The men and women are so engrossed
with political speculation that they
have no time TO call each other harsh
names over the fence or in anonymous
letters. There is an Increasing buzzing
from dawn until the rum shops pvt up
their shutters late at night. The activ.
ity and suavity shown by the candidate
is only equaled by their laziness after
they are elected. The bread clothed

en- visits the conyalescents at the County
hospital for whom he never has a thought
during the rest Of the year. The Car
son candidate is about as smart as any
have ever seen, and especially this time
because he has two sieges to undergo.
The first will be next Saturday, when
we hold a Crawford plan of primary
election. As political prophet, l will
give you the almost certain result OF
that experiment: Evan Williams will
be nominated Senator; George A. Tyr
rell, Alfred Helen and G. N. Folsom,
Assemblymen; S. T. Swift, Sheriff; NJ.
d. Hatch, County Clerk; J. D. Kersey.
Assessor; !. d. To,reyson. District At

Schools, Il give it up; J. II. Martin
and J. Morris, County Commissioners;
C. w. Friend, Public Administrator;
w. A. Hawthorne, Constable; w. B.
Webb and u. w. Kitzmeyer, School
Trustees. II these are not the nomina-
tons on Saturday, you may chalk me
down as false prophet. A nomination
this time will be equivalent to an cleo
ton, unless the "refOrmed" Republican
kickers feel dissatisfied with the result
and form an alliance with the County
Democrats. haven't much faith in the
so called reformed Republicans.

Judge and Mrs. Murphy received cart
load of presents from their friends, and
the Judge thinks Of having a fire and
burglar proof vault constructed in which
he can securely store them.
A reported political split at the State
Prison created some excitement in town
this week, owing to the expected whole
sale removal from that institution; but
friend Of Warden Bell told me that it is
like most reports in this cosby com
munity-without foundation.
There is much dissatisfaction al Sena-

want him to circulate among them and
show that he is still one of 'em. But
when he does come he will make up for
