The Prothonotarvsbip.

The contest for the office Of prothono
tary of this county is waxing warm. The
adherents of the two applicants, Peter
A. Hortey of this city and Theodore F..
Armstrong ofWhite Clay Creek hundred,
are button-holeiug the governor at every
opportunity. Mr.. Hortey is numer-
ously recommended, and his supporters
claim that his appointment will be very
satisfactory to a large element of the
Democratic party Of this city. Friends Of
Peter A. Hortey are particularly earnest
in pushing the claims of Mr.. HorteY.
The supporters Of Mr.. Armstrong are
equally energetic in presenting the
claims Of their favorite and say that
he has the support Of large proportion
Of the responsible men of the county
The lawyers almost unanimously support
Mr.. Armstrong, he having on his bar pc
tition, the names of forty four lawyers
and also the names Of Judges Houston,
Grubb and Paynter. The office is one in
which the lawyers are particularly inter
ested. In fact outside of the court, OF
which the Prothonotsry is the clerk in
civil business, and the lawyers, the Pro-
thonotary in his official capacity, rarely
comes in contact with the public. Both
men are worthy and capable.
