NOMINATION GOSSIP.

Quite a number of the newspapers of
the state of all shades of politics are
now engaged in the task of nominating
state and county tickets for the ap-
preaching conventions. It is rather
early in the day to indulge in such Il

harm, even if it anticipates the action Of
the bodies that will be elected to per-
form the duty of making nominations.
Among those who are gossiping about
the coming Nominations is our friend
