tho Country Asscssorsllp In Doubt.

Saturdays Democratic primaries wero
: tho hottest any party ever had In Ohio
county, and the vote cast was SO largo
that in one or two wards tho count was
not flushed until after daylight yester.
day morning. Tho county committee
was in session in M%cLaushlin's hall
until late yesterday afternoon, when all
tho precincts had been heard from but
Potomac, Liberty district. In one pre-
cinct Of Triadelphia district a recount
was demanded on Justice OF tho peace,
and several precincts had to DO 70.
counted on assessor for tho country dis.
trict, Andrew Patterson and Noah Zane,
the present incumbent, being so close
together that a very slight mistake
might reverse the result.
Sheriff iStecnrod was present repre-
senting Nj. Zano and demanded o re.
count. When the committee adjourned
till two p. m. to-day 1t was the general
expectation that a recount on tho as.
sessorship would be necessary in all tho
precincts.
In Views of this fact, tho committee
concludcdIto change tho time for hold.
ing the county convention, which had
been called for to-day. It will be held
next Saturday.
FRASziiElM FOR SHERIFF.
The yoteis complete on sheriff except
from Potomac, which 1t is expected
will civeyisa majority for Franzhcim.
With it out Franzheim has a plurality
over Corcoran OF 29S. His majority
will BIO somewhat over 800. AS pre-
dicted in tho lNrELLIG ENcER Friday. to
the %displeasure Of some people, these
two made9the contest. Mr.. r. A. Nc
Cabo's total vote ran about 600, at least
not 700. Mr.. John Robrccht had in the
neighborhood OF fifty votes. This was
in a total vote Of nearly 5000. Franz
helm carried Washington, Madison,
Clay, Centre, Triadelphia and Richland
districts, and Mr.. Corcoran tho other
districts. -.
A good deal OF feeling was %engendered
by the contest, and it will not soon, give
way to party enthusiasm, o scarcely
to resignation.
THE A-ssEssoRsMIps.
Mr.. c. T. Blanchard, the present in
cumbent, has a good safe majority over
Dan Hughes and W. T. English for
county assessor for the city district.
For the assessor for the country district
Noah Zane had a plurality OF one over
Andrew Patterson when the counting
was suspended, and Luther Blayney
was a good third. The precinct un-
heard from:and tho probable recounts
throughout the county leave tho result
in doubt.
Last evening complete figures, partly
unofficial, gave Patterson thirty plural
ity.
Mr.. John Howard was renominated
for prosecuting attorney and VI. T. Carr
was named for county surveyor by the
full vote, neither having any opposi-
tion. -
