Judge J. A. Brown, of Morgan county,
Chairman, and Frank S. Martin, of Noble

usual committees and listening to the usual

down to business this afternoon and 102
ballots were taken before adjournment.
They were all practically the same. al
though Morgan county did on one or two
occasions cast a ballot for men outside of
the county.
There are five counties in this, the Fifth
teenth district, and each has candidate.
Guernsey county has sent delegation solid
for Hon. j. D. TAYLOR, who has
served with distinction in Congress. Mus

Noble for Private ]. M. Dalzell, while
Washington county is for General R. R.

The logic of the situation seems to point to
one of the three, viz. Taylor, Voorhis or
