COUNTY POLITICS.

AS the time forthe county con-
ventions approach local politics
warm up, and in some instances
have boiled over and extinguished
the fires in Z their respective
ranges. The republicans will
hold their nominating convention
Sept. Sd, the populists Sept. 4th
and the democrats Sept. l1th. If
the prohibitionists have made a
move the fact has not reached the
editorial ear. ~st.st,&G
.: >.***.@ . ."saf
The present indications are that
the conventions will be full, to say
nothing of the condition of the
delegates. ..... ..' ''.t
*** f..
There is going to be a merry
struggle for the Office of register
of deeds. The fact that Mr.. Ken
nedy has held the Office two terms
and has made a stake, to use q
plain French term, coupled with
the knowledge that this is the best
office in the county, make the
local politicians look with longing
eyes in that direction-they all
want to be nominated for register
of deeds. They think they can
best serve their country in that
position. There's Geo. Eyland of
Adrian, a clever good fellow, who
will drop private matters for a
time and look after the recording
of mortgages, deeds, etc., if the
people so elect. Abe johnson has
got his hand in, filing chattle mort
cages, and is willing to 90 up
higher and draw more salary.
With Abe, however, the salary
part is secondary matter. Thos.
Baltiff who carried a musket and
did some hard fighting, way back
in 6l-65 thinks it is about time he
was given an opportunity to show
what he is made of. Guy Fellows
wants the Office for what money.
there is in it and doesn't hesitate
to say SO; he wants the populist
nomination, and will have it-if he
can get i. Mr.; Kennedy is E can
didate for reelection and will no
doubt have the democratic
endorsement, although we have
heard Harry Crawford's name
mentioned in connection with
the Office. Johny Peterson,
who sold his elevator, is uneasy
as a fish on dry land, is being
urged for the republican nomina-
tion, and, if he gets his coat off
will make the other fellows hustle.
Mr.. Peterson is also spoken of for
treasurer. :.-'
***
Another Office that will receive
some attention is that of county
attorney. Whether Mr.. Freeman
is q candidate for reelection we
have not been advised. It is said
that Mr.. Cross of this place would
take the Office if he could get it
without too much of a fight.
Judge Wilson would not take the
office unless the salary was raised
to at least $1,000. No doubt Mr..
Rohrer and Mr.. Town feel the
same way. z. R. Cheney is the
only available democrat and Of
course will be nominated by that
party. Mr.. Cheney is bright,
young attorney and would do
honor to the democratic ticket.

some fun, as the boys term it,

OF course there is going to be
some fun, as the boys term it.,
over the Office of sheriff. The
present incumbent, MI. Thom, has
a good pull on the republicans
and is sure of the prohibition
nomination if that party holds q
convention. The latter party is
good for about 100 votes if they all
get to the polls, and 100 votes on
the fag end is worth looking after.
Gilbert Anderson is not saying
much but his friends are at work
to secure the democratic endorse
ment, and viewed from the out
side, it looks as though his pull
was the best. Ed. Ryan of Els
worth and J. G. Murphy of
