Of the Circuit Court. Jordan for the mo-

not work, as the projectors soon discovered
that they had another divided camp the
Major himself having very strong cohort
in saloon circles who would not see him
finally kicked, the matter was dropped
an d there was another howl of-distreSs ali
along the line: Now Handlan Is getting
THE BLAME OF ALL THIS,
and Jordsn's friends claim that it was
clever attempt on his part to fire Lou out
of The campaign, while Mitchelrs followers
are grittiDg their teeth and swearing
Vengeance at some one"
"Do you think Handlan was in the
tbing?'
oh, don't know, but he gets some OF
the credit of it.. II he fights shy of these

be dominated and elected. We are going

who will get the Prosecuting Attorney

tuck with Woods and Jordan for the Dem
ocratic nomination, and the one whose
ste mach fails To revolt against whisky or
rebel against beer will come to the front.
On our side there is pretty kettle of fish
boiling for Black Doyener and old Bolt
Caldwell. Bolt is q war-horse when he
gets started, but the boys are afraid of his
sec oud wind. Out in the Fourth ward
they say Bolt came out there campaign
or Two ago to let them have a stump speech.
He began his exordium at P. NJ. to q
crowd of 1900, and wound upa flaming
and soul stirring peroration to Jake KEN
pie, two small boys and tom cat at | A. d.
The boys have forgiven Bolt, bu; they have
NOT FORGOTTEN THAT SPEECH.
Oh, no; Bolt will not be nominated; my
party has TOO high regard for Ohio county
juries. Black Dovener will carry the flag,
and what Black don't know about wire
pulling, setting up of pins, manipulation
OF conventions, schemiDg, inessing, foxy

never intended to be known. That's all.
The day is cold on Greenlsud's icy noun

Colonel as you know so much about
Inc shelilIs and the prosecutors can you
no. tell the REGISTER little as % other
local nominations? Who will be County
Clerk, Assessor and Circuit CLERK?
'Oh, that's easy. HOOK will have a
wax over and Mitchell will go in without
roube. Our side intend to start Cnarley
Howell against Mitchell. Charley will
hesr sCmeIhing drop on the day OF cleo
to-, ard the day after he will know that
there's more in politics tnah his philosophy
and should bate to see him
slain by his irierds. The Democrats will
nominate Bob Phillips for Assessor. Bob
has been four years IN the place, hiss given
gre at and general satisfaction, and wilt un
doubtedly be reelected by a great majority.
He has made no war on any one, and at the
Ssue time has increased the assessment
according to the rise in property iarly and

Our side has not yet FOUND anyone Will
