Political Meeting.

There was political meeting at
the federal court room last night,
which was presumably a republi-
can meeting, though a number of
our most prominent republican
citizens did not attend. Not bav-
ing an invitation, THE HERALD re-
porter did not attend the meeting,
nor was be able to obtain minutes
N the proceedings, but it was
learned from some who participant
ed that the meeting nominated a
full ticket for cohnty Offices. The
nominees are said to include some
of the present incumbents, who
were elected on the democratic
ticket in the last electiOh. In fact,
the ticket includes all but five of
of the present office holders, the
other nominees being as follows:
For tax collector, j. S. Thorn
ham; county clerk, Howard Miller;
superintendent of Instruction, S.A.
BeIdeu, jr.; hide Inspector, CAST
miro Tamayo justice of the peace,
