STEUBENvILLE, O., June IA few
weeks ago Jefferson county had an exciting
Republican primary election for county Of
ficers, and before the general election
comes off, the redistricting bill passed by
the Legislature has plunged US up to the
ears into a Congressional fight. Every
county in the district except Noble, has
candidate. In Jefferson, Coulter is the
man who is anxious to go to Washington;
in Belmont, Col Poorman comes TO the
front once more; in Guernsey, Col. Taylor
is willing to refill the seat he once occu.
pied, and in Harrison, old man Bingham is
ready to contest the right OF Hollingsworth
to the delegation from the county OF sheep
aud barren bills. When the convention
comes ca it will be an interesting one, and
the ballots that will be taken before con
didate is chosen cannot be counted on the
ingers Of two hands, The probability is
that the battle will be fought in this city,
which will be good thing for some of our
needy politicians.
