Po..r GA. POINTERS

Candidates for county othces If both
 parties are backward in making an n 5uncements this year. ID lhis county
 Phenx and Tucson papers contain long i>Is of candidates.
 No,wilhstandleg the fact that J. C
 Herndon has otten indicated that he had no ambition 10 become the standard bearer of the democracy as candidate for delegate to congress. southern papers continue 10 use his name in that con- nection. Shrewd observers of that party see the "mene nlenc tekel upharsin" handwriting ot 'Nebuchad- nt zzar't t?) on the wall ia case of the renonina,ion of Mark Smith and they are looking around tor an available candidate Mir aernGon would be hard man To defeat iu this territory.
 While there have been numerous names mentioned 10 connection with the republican nomination for delegate 10 congress there has been no indica- ton from any of those mentioned that they desire the place or would accept he nomination
 While not prooisiming their candi- dacy through the papers, local candi- date are indusuioasly at work laying the wires for the nomination. Sheriff ONeili is understood to be candidate 10 succeed himself and his excellent record during the present term justifies a reelection No one has yei been talked of who wall contest with him for the nomination In the republican convention
 County Recorder Akers occupies similar position and so far no opposi- ton has been talked of against hIm for ths republican nomination. George E. Brown's friends are talking him up for treasurer on the republican ticket Several other names have been mentioned tn connection with this nom inaion but none oi them have gwen any indication of becoming candidates. The only names we have hea q men tioned in connection with the republi- can nomination for legislative positions are those of J. M. W. Moore and W. s. Head Tor the council The former was a member of the council in the las, leg islaiure and made an excellent record, wh,ie Mir Head. as every one knows. has executive and manipulatIve ability to make first-clsss eelslatoI.
 In the camp of the enemy there are two nominations which seem to be pretty generally conceded now, and if the same unanitnliy of opinion existed ID regard to others there would be no occasion for calling 8 convention to- gether. These are c. C. Waddell, the present treasurer, tor sheriff, and H. T. Andrews for recorder
 The man who gets ;he nomination for county treasurer on the democratic ticket though will have to rustic for votes in toe convention. Among those men- toned as positive candidates are A. G. Oliver, of Prescott, and James K Lowry, cf Lower Angua Fria. Other names have also been mentioned, but whether they w!il be presented to the convention or not remains tO be seen.
 For district attorney, |. Burgess. un- ul recently register of the land office, and Colonel ]. F. W,isOn seem To be the only ones ID active framing.
 Would-be democratic legislators. i. there are any such, seem to be lying low. as we have not beard any talked of. I. L. Fisher made such q good record in the assembly two years ago and stood by the interests of the county so faithfully tha'ihis democratic..irisnds wan. 10 rsnoi1ina,e him, but Il is doubtful if he would accept,
 Whh ticket composed of good men, as candidates, there IS TO reason why the republicans cannot elect every county officer this year.
