POSSIBLE COUNTY CANDIDATES.


There is just little talk now and
then about this falls politics, anC
within the past few days there have
been some rather definite surmses al
to the men who would appear as can
didates for the principal offices.
1t is understood, of course, that Mr.
Decker will succeed himself as treas
urer. Even if the custom of giving
county officer two terms were les:
strongly intrenched i'm Allen county
than it is. there would be no talk o.
displaciIg Mr.. Decker, for he has
made model officer. No one will
contest the nomination against him
and bis election will be littIess than
unanimous.
For the Office of Register of Deeds
7. j. Ball, of Carlyle, H. p. Fowler
of Usage, and x. J. Mitchell, of lola,
have been mentioned. Each of them
has a wide acquaintance over the
county and would make an excellent
officer.
Jas. Wakefield would accept q re-
nomination for county clerk, of course,
il it were rendered with a unanimity
which made it clear that there would
be no party opposition. But he is not
, the least disposed to contest what
ever sentiment there may be in the
party against third term. Henry
Smith, of MarmatOn. one of the best
men in the county, and Cyrus FrOnk,
of Salem, one of the old wheel horses
of that township, are being urged to
enter the race.
For sheriff number of entries have
been heard. Harmon Hobart, the
efficient under sheriff, T. g.. Green,
ex-trustee of Carlyle, w. o. Huber,
one of the leaders who has helped to
bring little old Deer Creek out of the
darkness of POpulism into the glori-
Gus light of big Republican majority,
and Harry Gardner, of Hum bOldt,
who probably knows more men in the
county than any man who has never
held Office in it. are the names that
have come to us thus far. If they all
conclude to start it will be the pretti.
est race you ever saw.
1t is early yet and there is plenty
of time for other entries. But even if
no more appear than those here men,
toned it will be easily possible for
the Republican convention TO pick
out a tickel that will be invincible.
And that is exactly what will be done.

the new officers who have studiously
avoided widening the berach are now

Quarterly Convention of Ancient Or

The movement to unite the branches
of the Ancient order of Ilibernians-
the Board of America and Board of
Erin.-received a strong impetus at the
quarterly meeting of the county board
of the a. o. II. Il. of T.. in Battles
hall, Prospect avenue yesterday after
noon This being one of the leading
subdivisions of the Board of Erin and
having in its ranks one of the national
officers, Treasurer Daniel Battle, It's
action in unanimously instructing its
delegates to the national convention to
vote unreservedly for the coalition car
ries with it the utmost weight.
The split in the order occurred at the
Cleveland convention in 1882. 1t grew
out of a petty squabble over the election
of officers. The differences would have
been heated long before this but for the
unWillingness of those at the head of
either function to make oNertures for "A
