The Republican Executive Committee
of Ohio county assembled at the Office
of the Water Board, City Hall, yes
terday afternoon at two o'clock, and
remained in session until after four
o'clock. The time was taken up in
discussion of the general political stu
alton. all the gentlemen present inter-
changing views upon the aspect of af-
fairs. Contrary to expectations, the
date for the primaries was not fixed,
and the Committee adjourned to meet
again during the coming week, at the
call of the Chairman.
There hasn't been a new Republican
candidate for Office for several days.
Something must be wrong.
A good many people have failed to
comprehend the fact that the W. P.
Robinson. candidate for the Demo
cratic nomination for Prosecuting At
tornev. is the pick" Robinson so we'll
known througout this city when con-
nected with the Register few years
ago. Since he left the newspaper bust
ness for the profession Of law Pick
has grown a Vandyke beard, which
puts a decidedly different aspect upon
his features. and there has been some
pardonable confusion as result.
Mr.. w. W. Irwin, Democratic candi-
date for Sheriff. isn't making as much
fuss as some of his Republican Compel
itors for the office, but nevertheless
William has sawed an astonishing pile
of wood in a quiet sort of way. The
Commissioner from Webster will be
heard of later. and to some purpose
II had been suggested. during the
past week. that the Republican candi-
dates for Sheriff. Clerks Of Courts,
Prosecuting Attorney and Assessors
have a procession. Yesterday, but, un-
fortunately. the suggestion was not
acted upon. 1t would have been a
large and imposing demonstration.
There are thirty candidates for the
five Offices named. and with a band, a
police escort. and a Chief Marshall and
staff the demonstration would have at
tracted crowds.
The contest for Republican Commits
sioner i'm Richie is rapidly assuming
shape. and there is going to be fun
down there.
What's the matter with the Republi-
can candidates for House of Delegates.
Is IL possible that somebody will have
to be pressed to take these places on
the ticket?
Judge L. s. Jordan has been fire.
0uentIy named for the Democratic
nomination for Circuit Judge. and also
as a candidate for Prosecuting Attor-
nev. Thus far. the Judge has remain
ed silent upon the subject.
They do say that Candidate Richards
has been cutting a wide swath in Can
didate Moffat's country grain fields, of
late. This is something like carrying
the war into Africa.
The Colored voters are beginning to
figure around TO see whether or not it
is worth while TO ask somebody for the
appointment of a cOlOred man as dep
uty sheriff.
