Political Notes.

ILLUSION 70 the candidacy or H. A.
Smith, who is being pressed for the po-
sition of county attorney, was omitted
in the genral review which appeared in
this paper Sunday morning. Mr..
Smiths friends mentioned the matter
yesterday. 1t was an accident, and en-
tirely Tnintentional. Mr.. Smith is a
prominent candidate and one of the
leaders. He will make a good race, and
will have a large following. The omis-
sion alluded to did not detract from his
strength. as his candidacy is so gen.
orally known that matter of that kind
would cut little or no figure at all.

There was rumor TO the effect that
the Argus was going to be revived
afioat on the streets yesterday. the
same being for the purpose of aiding
the interests of a few candidates who
are before the people at this time. How
ever. there seems to have been a hitch
in the plans. and the probability now is
that nothing will be done in the matter
at all.
So far as can be learned. there are
no factions in the primary districts this
to- II, Ae-x@W
of any states. Never in the history of
the party in this city was there time
when the Democrats were as unified as
they are at this time.
