A special from Milwaukee, Wis.
TO the Times. Democrat, of Oct.
goth, says: "John Mccoy, who
has had the placing here of large
sums of money for the Republican
party managers, received word from
Chicago to-day to scale down all the
odds which have been offered on his
blackboard for sometime past. All
bets on Indiana were forced of the
boards some days ago. To-day the
instructions were to scale down all
the odds by 5000 on the majorities
claimed for LaFollette and Mckin'
ley in this State and to take no more
bets that Ohio, Kansas, Maryland
and West Virginia would go Re,
publican"

Ohio is doubtful State and the
chances are that Bryan will carry it
BY a small majority. To show the
drift of sentiment in his favor, Can
ton, the Presidents own home,
where Bryan only received 81 votes
in 1896, there IS now Democratic
club of 500 members, and this is a
sample of what is going on over the
entire State. Golden Rule Jones,
Mayor of Toledo, has large follow
ing, who go anyway Jones goes,
which is put down at $4,000 votes.
The chances are bright for the
Democrats in OHIO.

County Candidates.

u
j A canvass over = part Of the coun
- reveals that the republicans wen
never more certain Of . victory thar
this year, if the voters can only b
got to the polls, but the people are
enjoying prosperity and think that
whoever does vote cannot help but
vote for a continuation Of the present
administration. &. ..s A 1.
That our readers may be informed
Of prospective and actual candidates
the following are mentioned and as
we know them: :
For auditor &C. w. Slade is MAX
ing thorough canvass and interest
in : as many as he can in his cause.
He is hustler and if nominated will
be elected. If a new man is. to be
named he will be the fortunate one.
E. A. Trip, the present officer, is
a candidate for denomination. He has
made an efficient officer, therefore it
not necessary to dwell on his qualifi-
cations as that fact is settled by the
proper management of county af-
fairs and so vouched for by state OK
aiming officers. OF course, it will
be third term, but when a compe.
tent and desirable public servant has
established his efficiency, it is policy
to continue the service. This prece.
dent has been established through.
out the state in various offices. There
is no reason why an office should be
given another man because a present
incumbent has held the office two
terms, any more. than an employer
should superceed an employee be-
cause he has been in his service few
years. Mr.. Trip has many friends
nd made { many since his last cleo
ton who have said they wanted
see him retained in Office.
For sheriff.-Mr. Bryan has made
lnIny friends since last election who
would be pleased to see him on the
ticket again and will endeaver to
have him placed there.
Mr.. Pope has large following and
will make an interesting contest for a
place on the ticket and if successful
will make an excellent officer.

very promising. Mr.. Still is not max
