Alleged Deal on In Cuyahoga County
The Situation.

All sorts of stories have been set
going in Cleveland In reference to
splits in the delegations from the
counties outside of Cuyahoga at the
Republican Judicial convention to.
morrow,
Today 1t is claimed that Medina
county will not give Judge Marvin its
solid support. There is about us mucn
truth in the statement as there was in
the one that SUBMITS delegation
would not stand by him. He will have
the vote Of every delegate outside of
Cuyahoga county, and several in the
delegation from that county.
In order to land the nomination he
must get 13 votes from Cleveland.
His friends here say that he will have
them Oh the first ballot. The Summit
county delegation will leave for Cleye-
land on the Valley tomorrow>morning.
A number will 20 up tonight to can
vass the situation and to map out the
program for tomorrow.
NORTON'S CLAIMS.
Although Miner G. Norton has not
made the formal announcement that
he will be a candidate for the nomina-
tion for Circuit judge at the Republl-
can Judicial convention to be held in
the Chamber of Commerce auditorium
tomorrow morning, his friends are
making vigorous fight In his behalf
and now claim that the contest will
be between Norton and Judge Lam-
son, says the Cleveland Leader. II is
claimed by Norton's friends that Judge
Marvin will withdraw from the race
and throw his support to Judge Lam
son and that l., H. Winch will with
draw in favor Of Mr.. Norton.
The Republican Congressional CON
test in the Twentieth district may
have considerable bearing upon the
Judicial fight. AS the result of the
Congressional fight the delegation from
Medina county to the Judicial conven-
ton will probably be divided between
Judge Marvin and Miner G. Norton.
The adherents of Congressman Phil
lips in Medina county will be compell-
ed, it is claimed by Norton's friends,
to secure delegates to the Judicial con
| vention favorable to Norton In return
for the support of the old McISisson
politicians OF Cuyahoga county who
are supporting the former Law Direc-
| tor for the Circuit bench.
\ In all probability the convention Sat
| nrday will develop a pretty fght and
the indications are that no choice viii
be made on the first ballot. The
| Winch delegates will never throw theIl
support to Judge Marvin, nor will the
Lamson delegates throw their support
to Winch. Judge Marvin will proba
bly, be able to control the delegations
from Summit and Lorain counties and
also few votes in Medium and Guy
nhoga counties. Judge Lamson will
show considerable strength In the
townships Of Cuyahoga county
Winch's greatest strength will bc
among the delegates from the city
wards except on the West side, where
Norton expects to lead in the race.
The convention will be, called to or
j der at 1880 o'clock tomorrow morn

NOTHING IN TT.
Yesterday afternoon and last even

: came and went with reports Of the
0 Phillips campaign, says the Plain Deal
i er. Mr.. Phillips and his friends deny
! absolutely that they have atteamptet
to mix the Congressional fight with til,

!. county deal had been made by whicl
y Judge Phillips was to receive suticien
h Cuyahoga county votes to insure hi
\ nomination in exchange for Medin;
, county votes In the Judicial conven

Norton and Mr.. Phillips declare tha

The friends of Miner q. Norton arr
, still canvassing for, votes and decline

h name will be presented at the JudicIa

> settled, politicians claimed yesterday
y that either Mr. Norton or Mr.. Wincl
