OF that delegation when they break
away from their home candidate, should
such break occur. Ito expresses him
sell perfectly satisfied with the situation
in both Carroll and Jefferson counties,
but he is not satisfied with tho efforts
OF some OF his opponents in this county
and says there arc few keeping up tho
fight and doing their utmost to effect
combine against him. In his paper
last night he heads an editorial "Treach-
cry in this County," in which he says
kilograms were sent to Hollingsworth
assuring him that Poorman could not
get over tifty-fve votes from this county,
and that he (Hollingsworth) could de.
pend on the others, and at the same
time letter with the same assurance
was sent TO cx.Gov. Richards. Col.

There was fence built across tho
roadway leading to the whariboat at the
Cleveland u Pittsburgh landing yestcr-
day evening by w. G. Cochran, who
owns one OF the boats. The steamer
Phillips has whariboat at the same
point, and the fence is built to prevent
teams from hauling freight to or from
that boat, but it shuts off both. Mr..
Cochran held q lease on the Cleveland

years run wharfboat. Recently he
sold his boat, and the night it went
away the Phillips moved their wharf
boat up in its place. Cochran has an.
other wharfboat now and wants his

the long end OF the pole and will have
at least sixty delegates from this county
on the first ballot, and it will be good
politics for tho three fIollingsworth
delegates to make this county unani-
nous, rs they may not have an oppor-
tunlty to vote for the nominee if they
don't do it at the first ballot.
