4 SHOCK TO THEIR NERVES.
ASpirantS for County Offices Receive a
Setback.
The Ins Are to Hold Two Years
More-TWo Conventions to
be Held To-Day.

The decision of the Supreme Court
yesterday, declaring the four-year term
for county officials to be constitutional,
will make "a heap of difference" to the
Democrats and Populists, who are both
to hold their County Conventions to-
day.
Except Superior Judges, Legislators,
Supervisors and one or two minor oft-
Gals, there are to be no county OIL
GERS elected, hence there will be no
necessity for the making of nomina-
tions to-day by the two local conven-
tions.
This decision will be hailed with joy
Dy the men in office who were elected
with the understanding that it was to
be for four years, but it will be aWfully
discouraging to the small army of as
pirants for office who have been hoping
that political lightning might strike in
an unexpected spot this year.
The conventions will meet at 10
o'clock this morning-the Democrats in
the State Capitol and the Populists at
Turner Hail. but the decision referred
to will spoil nearly all the fun that was
anticipated. There was still some talk
yesterday of a fusion between the two
parties, and it is possible there may be
necessity for a bicycle relay messen-
ger service between Turner Hall and
the Capitol, and then again there may
not be-
There will be less offices now to par
eel out, while the ratio of aspirants will
be increased by the new turn affairs
have taken
