 M B. Fisk has consented to be the republican candidate for judge of probate. His nomination last week was in face of his positive declination to take it, but the delegates were unanimous in opinion that he was the strongest and most capable candidate available, and decided to nomi- nate him and to empower the probate committee Messrs. J. w. Chandler, of Stafford, and J. W. Winch, of Union-to substitute man if MT. Fisk persisted in his declination. As stated above, MT. F. consents to run, which is fortunate for the republicans. The district is demo- cratic, but the vote for this office has not of late years been on partisan lines. Both parties have nominated strong and cap- able men.
 There will be no more republican pa- rades until after the burial of Mrs. Harri- son-which takes place at Indianapolis tomorrow. The proposed parade and flag raising at Staffordville, set down for tonight, will be without band or parade, though speaker will address the people in the Congregational vestry.
