The list of hungry p'triots now
enrolling under tho "Announce-
ment Banner" OF the Journal to
march to the front and capture
some Fat Office, had increased to u
column and half of solid nonpa-
reil, or fifty-three in mum Der as per
last issue. and more tn come this
week. This means over 5000 in
clear cash for the Journal, besides
a big job of printing for the Pri-
mary and candidates also. Verify,
it is a fat time for our neighbor. but
it Is all 'rot' FOR The ARGUS to
call attention to it.
We were little uneasy about
Fighting Henry" Glover's chances
for reelection, but since the Hon.
Chrisklngls Hartmire has taken the
stump against Glover, itmakes him
solid for the denomination and he
need lose no more sleep over it.
None of Mr.. Glover's friends will
be able to help him as much as the
Professor will by opposing HIM.
can awkward friend is worse than
u malicious enemy" This old pro-
verb will be proven to Messrs. Jones
and Glover when the Primary comes
off.

The Republican nominee for As.
SCISSOR on the East Side is named
Albert II. Fearer, and he halls from
Gen. Grants district, and has a
Glade Farm down there somewhere.
Col. Sam b. Lee, Of Cranesville,
wants the job for the next four
years, but he will not get it. lie
has one big JOB that Will tako up
considerable time If ho attends to
it right, being partner with Judge
Beatty in the ownership of the
Road System for Portland district,
so Samuel had better be working
roads instead OF voters, for he is
on the Lee side of the Assossorship.

For the office OF Assessor IN this,
the first district, there are three
candidates before the people, the
present incumbent and two citizens
from Reno, II. NJ. Summers and N.
5. Michael The latter is not in it
at all, and the only good he is do
ing, is to defeat Summers and in
sure Manear's denomination, rs
the fight is between the latter and
Summers. A correspondent writing
to tho journal from FeIlowsyillc
last week, (most likely William A.
Watson), speaks in high terms OF
Manear, bug wants Summers nomi-
mated, because he IS getting so old
that this is his last ehaAce, and
wants a return now for Renos
helping Manear before, but he fails
to say that they only gave MaBear
twelve votes ia the whole district,
and only one at Felowsville for the
nomination. The probability is that
there will be no change IN our As
SCISSOR for the present.
