The Republican bosses were Ia confer

endeavoring to reconcile their difference,
aud Tx up u slato for tho coming primary
election. The discussion was long, l0ud
| and excited, but little or nothing was &C
complished. Levi Sensenig has bis hear,
set on the nomination Ut Steve Grissngei
| for county treasurer, and Is willing Il
sacrifice almost everything else to

| Judge, but he is willing to droI
him aud support Alice aud Hiestand pro-
viding their friends viii support Grissin.
ger. But Lew Hartman will never consent
to sacrifice John NJ. Order for treasurer,
and tho whisky interest insists on sticking
To Patterson for Judge.
For Congress large majority Of the
city managers are for lIcistand, but the
country folks fight shy of him. lIe has
the revenue Office aud tho city postoifice
with him but the large number of country
postmasters are afraid to run counter tO
| Smith for fear OF losing their own heads.
| For sheriff Levi aud many Of his ponies
| favor Geo. w. IOmlinson, but John Sides
has strong backing among the hurrah
boys, whilo George LOchcr is not idle in
pushing the cause Of honesty aud reform.
| IL is conceded on all hands that the IN liu
| ence Of the present sheriff will weigh very
| considerably IN the coming contest, not
| only III deciding tho result for sheriff, but
for some of the other Offices also.
For county commissioners the Leyites
| seem to have settled down pretty closely
| to ii. NJ. Mayer Of East Hemphed, aud
Henry Musser Of Strasburg, while the
opposing elements arc trying to get
| together on Sam Myers, of this city,
| and John Giugrich, of East Hempneld.
Albert Is, Worth, 0i Col0rain appears to be
| looming mp as q formidable candidate, and
| may be able TO show 40 much backing
| before tho election that tho ringmasters
| may be anxious 10 give him "A place on the
| slate.
For clerk Of orphans court, Mart Keller,
| the ono legged, one armed soldier, has
| many friends. aud his long experience IN
| clerktug in various offices, aud his con
fessed capabilty make him the favorite
with all who favor civil service reform
| but II Levi l. Kroidcr can show more
| money aud moro votes than Mart, the
managers will all be "fur i'm"
For court of quarter sessions il IL hard
| to toll who is TO be cheated. All the can
| didat,s are confident aud claim to have
| tho support Of the bosses. 1t is not un
likely that all have been promised, and
| that eacl will bo run on the ring ticket
| (when it is completely in different sectious
| OF the county.
For register the fight will be severe
one between G.. +. Stuuer, the present
| egistcr, aud J. A. Solenberger, who is
| regarded IA the ring candidate. Stoner's
| elliCieuCy is known to all who have had
| business with tho office, and no ia recon
mended for election by Judge Lyiugstou
| aud nearly all of tho leading mem bers oi
tho bar. He will, of course attend to the
duties Of the office in person II elected, as
he has attended TO them during tho past
| three years. Mr.. SOllenberger il also said
| to be good clerk, and promises to perform
the duties of the office in person.
For prison keeper the Lovtes have
| pretty generally settled down in favor OF
AL. smith, and the NCD Era party are
| unanimous for Burkholdcr. The Buzzard
gang of escaped prisoners and their
| friends will also support Burkholder on
| the ground that If they get into Jail they
will have less tfOuble in getting out than
| il Smith or A.. Hagen should be elected
| Hagen, though left " by tho managers,
| has very strong personal following, auC
| expects TO mako it warm for his opponent,
on the l2th of April.
| There ia little that Is new in the hgh
for senat0rship and the Legislature. Tn,
| NeU Era and Lawyers Johnson aud Mar
tin aud their followers have set their hearts
on Statesman John II. Lands as theiI

will do all they can TO defeat Senate
