MOBILE, May Is, 1886
Our town is getting quite Lively
in n POLITICAL way. The primaries
for delegates for the nomination Of
Governor will be held on Saturday
next, and the friends oil the various
candidates are working like beavers
with the old commander General
II. ID. Clayton in the lead. Gen.
eral Clayton is Il OF the greatest
men of which Alabama can boast,
and would make II Governor OF
which all me could point with
pride and would be Il fitting end 10
a useful life. His private life is
spotless, while his public lite is a
bright example for the rising gener-
alton. The 36th and 40th Alabama
regiments, most OF whom were from
Mobile, were in his division, to.
wards the close of the struggle,
and they who know from expert.
euce how he is to be trusted are for
him sOlidly, and are hopeful of a
solid delegation for him from this
county. ON old soldiers cannot
forget that the only pension we cal
give the old commanders who must
soon pass away, is an Office of hOn.
or and trust to end properly their
earthly career, while the younger
aspirants can well afford to wait.
| sincerely hope that the lower end
ut our county, in which your paper
circulates quite largely, will remem-
Der this on Saturday next, and send
mp Il delegation for Clayton first,
last aud all the time. The Offices
for the county are beginning to at.
tract some attention, and many can.
didates m presenting themselves
for some of the Offices. There are
now four for Circnit Court Clerk,
besides the incumbent Jones, who,
course, wants to hang on, but
we think the chances are much in
favor of his retiring, Their names
are DOrlah, Herman, AmeS and
Spencer, these AT least are all | have
heard of. The many friends of
were very anxious for him
TO make the race, but he has gone
into business and declines. Judges
Williams aud SemmeS are so far ms
hear, alone in their candidacy for
heir respective Offices, aud J am
of the opinion that it would
useless for any u to try to de.
feat them, as they are first class
officers, and give such general sat
IsfactiOn, both in their public and
life, that it would be AN
uphill road to try to defeat them.
have heard of no one that desires
place as clerk OF the city
