BLAIR, NeO., August IL SPECIAL TO IuE
BEE. The political pot in this county has
not been set to boiling yet to any great ex-
tent. Although the papers contain the calls
of the different parties for their conventions
to be held this month, but very few candi-
dates are known to be IN the field. None
have avowed themselves openly but Il few
have, in Il roundabout manner, had their can
didaCy announced. Judge Crounse is ang-
ling after the senatorial prize and VIII have
to cast his lines into Dodge county ponds, as
that county and NashingtOn divide the Sena-
torial hOaCrs. He will undoubtedly be sup
ported By this county and in all probability
he the mine in which event and in event
of his election he will contest the senatorial
election with Henderson and others. The
Judge is Il strong anti monopolist and will
fight the railroads bitterly. His candidacy
for the United States senatOrship will not be
antagonistic TO that of General Van Wyck,
but rather in conjunction with 1t. Washing
ton county Is entitled to one representative
aud Il float with Burt. For the position
of representative only one candidate has
so far been unearthed-M. Cameron, super
visor from Grant township. Mr.. Cameron
has been township supervisor for a number
of years, at all times an active, prominent
and honorable member. He is nOn-cOmmittal
but will probably be favorable to Henderson
account of Grand Army connections. The
prohibitionists will put a ticket in the field
'GltlA VI va " " N'A't' -
NJ. Carter is their avoWcd candidate for rep
r~csentative. The union labor folks will also
nominate a ticket.
The democrats two years ago divided the
representatives with the republicans, each
| party eleCting one member Their conven-
tion will be held late, and at present no can
dldates are mentioned for any Of the offices.

From Boone County.
ALBION, Neb., August 1l.-[Special to The
BEu.l-The corporation bosses have com
monccd to show their hand in politics by
| compromising and setting up their fences.
Cedar precinct has always been their strong
| hold until about three years ago, when they
| were treated so shabbily that they commenced
| to "balk in the harness. and since that time
the bosses have been afraid of them because
they cannot carry the county without their
assistance, but now everything appears
| lovely since S.. S, Hadiey, the self-appOinted
boss of Cedar precinct, and A. =. Brink, a
| s~o-called banker of Cedar Rapids, visited
Albion a few days ago and compromised
| Cedar precincts troubles with Loran Clark
| and the rest of the bosses of Albion by Dlac-
| ing MIR. Brink in the front as a candidate for
| representative from Boone. There was
great rejoicing among the gang at thelr
supposed success in healing the wounds Of
| Cedar preciuCt,h but when the people find
| out who the man is, ana his strength is tested,
| Gear Will find that they have again been the
victims of MISPLACED confidence Mr..
Brink is pretty well known in
Manchester and other precincts and it
viii be utterly impossible for the Hon. Loran
| Clark and John Peters to deliver the goods,
| and no one knows it better than themselves.
However, it's anything to satisfy the south
ern portion of the county. Mr.. Brink is not
q popular man at home and this, together
| his oil room connections, will be pretty sure
to down him, even should he be nomina-
ia mn. m,l,,nt how hand thut Ipinl
is the preferred candidate and are secretly
rejoicing over the prospect.
