JUDGE BENNETT. OF LEWIS.

Judge w. G.. Bennett, Of Weston.
is in the city shaking hands with
friends and making many new ones
by his cordial ways and genial pres
ence. Judge Bennett, as the reaC-
crs OF the REGISTER know, is a can
didate for the gnbernatC rial nonli-
nation. 1t is needless to say that
he has many friends IN Ohio county.
Many of the Pan Handle Democ-
racy naturally incline to Judge
Bennett because he is from their
own Congressional district, but
aside from that, there is warm ST. e
among them for a man they have
known so long and so well. His
ability as judge, his renown rs
scholar, and his reputation rs IL true
blue, old fashioned Democrat, all
conspirc to strengthen his canvass
among the northern counties boz
dcrlng the Ohio river.
Without the least reflection upon
the other candidates SO ably com
pctent 10 fill the executive chair,
the REGISTER heartily concurs in
the high opinion held Of Judge
Bennett. If nominated he will
make great run. and his election
and discharge of his duties there
after will rebound to the credit of
both his party and himself. - Whecl-
ing Register, 21%t.

The LoUNGER.

We were reminded the other day
that this was "Leap Year" When
Joanna Gallinipper, charming
maiden OF about forty golden
summers" more or less. and the
belle OF " Pumpkin Glen" came TO
town TO interview the Clerk about
taking out " writ OF attachment"
on Josiah Cornstalls, so they could
be jined " together in the holy
bonds Of wedlock. She said that
when she proposed to Josiah lie
claimed he hadn't money enough
to get the license, but she told him
that didn't make any difference, az
this was Leap Year she would get
them herself and then she would
wear the pants" always hereafter,
and she guessed she knowcd how to
do it up i'll fine style. Chat is the
wedding.) Where Joanna's trouble
came in was when the Clerk asked
her how old she was. Then size
got mad and said it was none
Of his business how old she was and
that he ought to have more manners
than to ask young creature like
her such "pintcd . questions, and
if he was that inquisitive she would
take Josiah down to Oakland and
see if they could get iined" down
there without being asked such i'm
pudent questions, and rs the bride
only had to 10 eighteen in that
State she guessed she could squeeze
in. Our devil sends comgratula-
tons ahead and hopes their double
cussedness may ever be as bright MS

to submit, which l think is fair to
all concerned. 1t IS this: Let
hessrs. Brown and Elliott submit
their claims to the party at the com
ing primary election. All is neces-
sary is for the gentlemen to have
their names printed on the ticket.
Those who want Dir. Brown for the
State ticket can scratch the name
Of Mr. Elliott, and those who favor
Dir. Elliott can scratch the name Of
Dir. Brown. l offer this in behalf
Of harmony, for there is no use de-
nying the fact that there is q great
deal Of dissatisfaction among the
party. They argue that Mr. Elliott
has good paying Office and should

A DEAL.


The Sheriffalty contest is growing
interesting, and within the next
few days the public is promised a
surprise. The Argus learns that q
deal is on foot by which Mr.. Hollis
10 to withdraw from the contest in
favor OF Sir. Shafrer. In the open
ing of the campaign Shaffer and
Hollis we're looked upon by the poll
iticians as the strongest men in the
race, and it was matter of spccu-
lation as to which one would win
the prize. The "talcnt" were in
clined to pick Shaffer as the winner.
As the campaign progressed Shafrer
and Hollis developed a weakness
instead OF strength, and it became
evident to their friends and ad-
mirers that they could not win. Lee
Shaw, who has never been favor
lite with the Ring, was considered
very weak candidate, so weak indeed
that he was not counted i'm the race.
But he surprised the Bosses, for as
the campaign wore on he proved
himself to be the strongest man in
the field. At this stage of the can
paign James A. Lenhart announced
which complicated matters. From
the very start Lenhart proved him
self to be n very dangerous COM
petitor, and to-day, those who weic
counting on Shaffcr or Hollis car
rying off the prize admit that vt the
present time the fight is between
Shaw and Lenhart. Hence the
latest move on the political checker
board to withdraw Hollis and throw
his vote to Shaffer in the hope of
electing him. But the question
arises Will Hollis be able TO de-
liver the goods to Shaffcr ? Time
alone can decide this question. The
ARGUS is of the opinion he cannot.
1t is family quarrel with which
the ARGUS has no concern, further
than the hope of being able to con-
tribute its mite toward defeating the
successful candidate at the polls.
The ARGUS believes Mr.. Hollis
is making a great mistake in with
drawing from the contes', and one
which lie will live to regret when he
offers for Sheriff four years hence.
The people are growing very tired
of Ring rule in Preston, where the
Offices are promised to certain men
four and eight years in advance by
the Bosses, and if Mr.. Hollis ever
hopes to receive recognition at the
hands Of his party, he cannot afford
to withdraw from the contest in
favor of any candidate. If he does.
1T will kill his sweetest dreams of
future Sheriffalties.
On with the fight, gentlemen, it
is amusing the people.
