claims this State is for Gresham. As the
matter now stands Gresham Is scarcely
thought of in this State, and not one In
hundred in this county would name him
as fret, second or third choice. The pro-
prietors of that organ themselves are not
for Gresham. ClarkSbRrg Telegram (Rep,).

The Lincoln Citizen comes to US this

we think Mr.. Campbell is entitled to the

The chances for the nomination Of Prof.
NJ. K. Duty, for the position Of State SD
perintendent of Free Schools are growing
brighter every day. All the adjoining
counties are coming largely to him, and 1t

certainty. Give Mr.. Duty this nomination,
and the Democracy in this part of the State
will be highly honored.-WeSt Union Rec

Judge ]. NJ. Jackson, of this city, is re-
ceiving many friendly ard favorable no.
tees az a candidate for Congress. The
papers of Wayne, Lincoln and Putnam
counties are particularly kind toward him,
and from their tone it is safe to assert that
those counties will give him large, if not
unanimous vote in the convention

Judge Okey Johnson of tie Court of
Appeals of this State registered at the u.

with his many acquaiutances here. This
chief object of his call was to see Hon.

ton. He is genial kind gentleman. The
Judge is in favor of Fleming for Govern

We notice that the Wheeling REGISTER
publishes a letter from Judge ]. NJ. Jack
son to W. T. Thompson, in which he en-
phatically denies all the charges Of con-
spiracy and unfair dealing brought against
him by Eustace Gibson. This, with every
cue who knows the Judge, settles the
matter. In fact his friends did not need
II to convince them that the charge was
entirely malicious and unfounded. Per-
haps, however, it was well to put the
denial in print, that the refutation might
have the sauna circulation as the SANDER
st. WdryS Oracle.
We notice that Hon. K. S. Brown, Of
Jackson county, is talked OF for the judge
ship of that sircuit. Years ago, as Prose
cutting Attorney in Writ, Roane and Jack
son, Judge Brown did more than any other
man 10 drive the murderous liquor traffic
out of those counties, and We are quite
cure he would see the laws vigorously en-
forced against saloon outlaws, if he should
90 on the bench.-W. Ia. Freeman.
