ST. MARYS.

Dl. w. Nd-,June tine del
egates to the state convention as they
came home in small squads greatly sur
prised the local Republicans, who pre-
dicted party disruption and disaster for
the democrats because they did not
nominate Judge Tavenner for governor
instead of Mr.. Holt. They seem to
think there should only be one candi-
date, and that n nominated by ac-
clamation. There wasn't any delegates
IN the State convention who were any
stronger in their desire for Tayenner's
nomination than the delegates from
peasants county, yet to the surprise
of the Republicans they are all delight
ed with the State ticket and admit that
in all productivity Mr.. Holt is the
strongest man before the people That
could have been nominated, and Plea
SAINTS county Democrats have already
rolled up their sleeves for work for the
ticket. Our Republican friends will
have enough to do before the campaign
is over in this section looking after Mr..
Mccoy, of Tyler, and Crede Collins, of
Rltchie. The two counties named have
been Republican heretofore, but this
Will be an off year, under the leader
ship OF such men as are named by cur
party at Parkersburg. Our delegates
OF course We're somewhat disappointed
that their friend and neighbor, Mr..
Tavenner was not nominated, but there
are no knives up their sleeves. They
only admired their man, as did the
friends of Mr.. Holt, and the result at
Noyember's election will prove the 10y
atty of Peasants county. This county
will not soon forget the administra-
ton of Judge Freer in his speech here
at the Republican district convention,
OF the importance of the election Of Re-
publicans to Office, from president down
to constable, and that Republicans
should vote the straight ticket to that
end. The Democrats aver that they
will do the same, which is right. AS
this is a Democratic county they should
take Mr.. Freer's advice.
Mr.. Walter Dillon is being pressed to
become a candidate for county assessor
by the Democrats because of his special
qualifications for the position, the pre-
sent incumbent moi being equal to the
situation as assessor. He is a Repub-
lican and is considered unfit for the
position. Mr.. Dillon is a graduate OF
the State Normal and a very bright
young man, and very popular with the
people, and would surely be elected II
he consents to run.
