As to candidates in the Democratic Convention
the PRESS has no choice to urge, but only detires
to reflect current opinion. The talk seems to be
that D. G. Goldman should be tende ed the nom
ination for Representative. His name and record
need no endorsement or explanation. Everybody
knows him. they also know that his whole per
sonal interest is centered in his native county of
Portage, and that, should this county. in fit of
good hard sense. happen to elect him, his ability
and influence would place Portage county in the
front rank in the next legislature. We have
heard no other name mentioned for the place and
We hope that Mr.. Goodman will accept the draft .
though his consent has not yet been secured.
For Prosecuting Attorney the names of Messrs
I. ii. Phelps anc Geo. F. Douthitt are most prom
inently mentioned. As between these tho Con-
vention should choose deliberately. Both have
been before the people. and both have made good
runs. They each say that whoever receives the

ties of the office with creditable ability.
For Treasurer, the name of Elmer E. France
of Kent, will be presented. Mr.. France is mer-
chant in that city, of well known honesty and
ability /; he is likewise of the real Democratic
workers who have done much to help revolu-
tionize the political complexion of Kent.
For Commissioner Coroner and Infrmary Di-

knowledge. but the Convention may be relied

Though her illness was of long and weari-

borne away through the misty and fitting
