Yesterday the candidates and the
friends Of the candidates for the
House Of Delegates got in quite
large amount OF work among the dele
gates to the Convention and this morn
ing they will be as busy as bees again,
cinchin2 the work already done and
endeavoring TO enhance the strength or
their respective positions. The leading
candidates for the House-some OF them
avowed, and some being simply pushed
forward by tn cir friends-are: General
Alfred Caldwell, Hon. j. b. Wilson,
Albert Hadlich, Robert Pekari, Col.
Thomas O'Brien, z. (. Farrell, |. W.
Imhoff, Fred. Strausser, Frank Cruise,
Louis Stifel, Hon. c. w. Seabright,
Hon. w. c. Handlan, Hon. j. j. Woods,
C. +. BrandfasS, Hon. c. W. Brockunier
and Hon. Robert Simpson.
Judge Of the Criminal Court, Judge
L, 5. Jordan, will have things all his
own way, aud will receive the nomina-
tion by reclamation.
The Congressional Convention situa-
Iion is very much involved. Some OF
the delegates, as a matter OF course,
are very mnch disposed to cast their
votes for Hon. John G. Pendleton, and he
will probably have decided majority
OF the county. Others are heartily in
favor OF Prosecuting Attorney John A.
How ard, and in certain contingencies
that gentleman will have more than
respectable following from this county.
Still others of the delegates have a
strong leaning towards Col. w. w.
Arnett, and the Colonel may
loom up strong in the Con-
vention-all depending upon how events
shape themselves between now and the
date OF the meeting OF the body. A
few of the delegates, quite number,
in fact, are not committed TO any can
didate, preierring to go into the Con-
vsntion free and at liberty to vote for
the best and most available man as cir
cumstances may point him out.
Following are lists of the delegates
to both Conventions, the candidates for
County Commissioner and for School
Commissioner in the city districts:
