SrEUBENvULE, October 1.-The politi
cal pot is beginning TO boil %hereabouts, anC
more interest is being manifested thai
usual, because for the first time in a mum
Der of years, there is a good chance for the
election of some of the Democratic candi
dates. lion. J. II. s. Trainer was nOmin
ated last Tuesday at Uhrichsville as the
candidate for Judge of the third Sub-dlviS
ion of the Eighth Judicial district by the
! Democratic Judicial Convention, and the
prospects are exceedingly fattering for his
election. His opponent is Judge Pearce,
of Harrison county, In April, 1882, Mr..
Trainer was the candidate against Judge
Pearce for the same position, and was only
defeated by the Democrats of Jefferson
county. believing there was no chance for
his election, staying away from the polls
and neglecting to vote. Dozens of his
warmeSt admirers throughout the county
failed to vote, and after the returns were
in and they saw they were responsible for
his nOn-election, they were very much
chagrined, and it is very safe to say that
they will he at the polls next November.
In 1882 the vote was rs follows: TuSca-
rawas county, majority for Trainer, 1907;
Harrison. majority for Pearce, Sj7; JEFF
fersOn, majority for Pearce, 1877, giving
Pearce Il majority i'll the district of 2Sl.
Since that time Mr.. Pearce has made him
self so unpopular to the Tuscarawas county
bar that all the attorneys, without regard
to politics, united some months ago. in re-
questing his resignation, and now the
people of that county promise Mr.. Trainer
a largely increased majority. The adviceS
from Harrison are that PeaTce cannO carry
that coanty this time by much more than
it's nominal majority, which is between
five and six hundred. That Mr.. Trainer
will largely reduce his former majority in
this county there is scarcely any doubt,
and when we make the assertion that his
chances for election are flattering, the fig
ures will bear It's out. Of the other Dem
ocratic candidates, Robt. q. Howerter is
making an active canvass for County
Auditor. He is an old soldier, very
popular personally and has received
pledges from prominent Republicans that
is calculated to create a general impress
sion that he will be elected, particularly
as there is great opposition to Mr.. Simeral,
the Republican candidate for various caus-
es, the leading one being that he has lied
to officers for about eighteen years, and it
is time he was stepping aside and giving
some one else a chance. The Office is
worth about 5000 4 year. There is very
little doubt that William White, Demo
cratic candidate for County Commissioner,
will be elected. He at present holds the
position, has looked after the interests of
the county ina very acceptable name
and rs the other two Commissioners are
Republicans, the feeling is largely in his
favor, because the people of the county
believe that it is not to their interests to
have the Board composed entirely of per-
sons of one political faith.

The Board of Directors resolved not to
place natural gas in the school buildings

fectly safe. II is a very wise precaution.
