ROCKVILLE, Oct. ~. 1891.
Although upon the eve Of one Of the most
important elections ever held in this state
political affairs in this county are very quiet,
and outside of the candidates for the various
county Offices no one appears to be much in
terested in the result. The few political meet
ings that have been held were small in num-
bers and did not show any of the zeal and
hurrah manifested in former campaigns. So
far as the democratic meetings were concerned
the principal topics discussed were the tariff
force bin ana tEe last Congress, about which
the people have heard So much that they have
ceased to be interesting to the average farmer
HE thoughts and desires rather run upon the
subject of such laws viii secure better roads
at less cost and more nearly equalize the assess
ment of property ana reduce the rate of taxa
ton thereon
Although on the surface there does not ap-
pear TO be much dissatisfaction with the ticket
nominated BY the democratic primaries yet
from various parts Of the county there are
rumOrs that the ticket will be cut in some To-
| caities but whether enough of this will be
done to endanger the success of some of the
candidates remains to be seen The republic
cans appear TO be well organized and doing
some quiet but effective work. The principal
contest appears to be for the Offices OF register
of Wills, sheriff and county commissioners.
