The county Democratic convention will
meet today and begin the work of select
ing county and legislative ticket. There
are plenty of candidates for the several
positions and the friends of each have
worked very hard during the past few
days. That work is now nearly ended and
1.-THE exhorting is about over. For a few
r<S1ef hours this morning, the adherents of
the several people will have a chance, but
very soon it will be all over.
The county executive committee held a
meeting yesterday, at which the matter
of the temporary officers was discussed
The committee did not make any selec-
Gon Tor the places, but adjourned to meet
this morning. The members of the COM
mittee realize that they have many fac
tons TO satisfy and intend to take time to
deliberate on the question. The names
suggested for the position have occasioned
no controversy In the committee and the
result VIII be arrived at without any bit
terness or dissension.
1t has not been decided, neither will It
be, what the order of business will be
until the convention shall settle that mat
Ter Tor itself. There IS movement on
foot to have the county ticket selected
before the legislative ticket, but many are
contending that the members of the legis-
lature should be selected first. and the
county officers last Just at what stage
of the proceedings the delegates to the
state convention will be named is not
known either. Whether il will be first or
last is the question TO settle. There is
likely to be considerable discussion and
work in the selection of this list of dele
gates, as the friends of the various can
dldateS for congress are determined to let
no chance for advantage slip past them.
The plan agreed upon thus far is to let
each election district in the city and
county select one delegate to the state
convention, while the balance shall be
selected at large by the county conven-
ton. This plan seems to meet with con-
siderable favor at the hands of many of
the delegates.

II is very likely that there will be other 1
names presented to the convention for /
nomination, bat this is about the complete (
list as near as can be stated.
In connection with the matter of the /
members of the legislature, there We're |
rumsrs Of a SLATE" and inquiry around !
last evening developed the existence of /
two or three lists, but on all there seemed /
TO be more than the usual number re- 4
quired for a slate. One ticket which was /
being promulgated had seventeen can
didates for the lower house. whereas !
there are only ten TO be elected. In an /
other there were three candidates for /
the senate and fifteen for the house /
more than are required for any such pur- /
pose. The states are not states in the |
strict sense Of the word, and, generally
speaking, il is believed the nomination for i
members OF the legislature viii be a sort
OF a free-for-all contest
