Tomorrow afternoon the Demo-
Gratis and Republicans of this hundred
will nominate ticket which will
bear the oohors OF both great parties
at the November election.
On the Demooiati ticket Colonel
Evan q. Boyd will have a walk over
for Representative in the General AS
sembly. The fight fer assessor lies
between John j. Sheridhn and William
W. Cooper. Both men have been a.
hustling. Cooper two years ago was
next to the nominee. and because
William j. Hunter was appointed As
SCISSOR last spring by the Levy Court
Cooper will receive the majority OF
the votes.
FOR Road Commissioners there will
be two Democrats nominated and
their initials will In all probability be
III. and ID.
There la strong fight for the Rep
resentatiys honors on the Republican
side OF the house between Henry ii.
McMullen and James b. Hanoe, while
Edward Challenger will come In some
thing like side show and wlllrecel ve
about fifty votes OF those who do not
wish to take sides with either of the
other candidates. There will not be
more than three hundred and twenty
votes caet, and with ilfEy for Challen-
ger off that, one hundred and fifty
votes will nominate the man. 1t Ia
claimed for Hsnce that he will get
thirty colored votes and one hundred
and thirty.tive white votes, whilepn
the other side McMullen's friends
claim that the ex marshall will have
plurality over Hance and Challenger
Wilson l.. Raymore is sure to be nom.
mated for assessor and John NJ. Col
Inns and David b. ices seem to be in
the lead for Road Commissioners.
There is row over the inpectors, as
1t IL claimed tho MeMullen men named
@ different ticket from the ono selected
by tho hundred committee. There 10
a good deal OF sore heads here among
the Democrats since the meeting for
the election OF delegates to the State
Convention. Some of them are so
sore that they cannot and do not speak
to one another. 1t is truly interesting
to watch the moves OF tie leading
lights as they are told OF the sheep In
tending to feed on the day of election
out OF the Republican, Popalist and
Prohibition parties.
/ The latter two parties will receive a
strong vote here this fall. The tem.
perance people have had enough of
the Democratic saloon. The ticket i5
selected there, the election is held
there, and everything to do awuy
with the peoples rights is concoJ.
