A Business Man for Business Office

Being a business man and interested In Jefferson county, having the best man for County Treasurer that can be secured, l noticed the statement in yesterdays Age Herald in reference to the race being be- tween MT. Gray and MT. Miller. l do not believe this to be true, for l think MT. Gray has all of his opponents badly beaten and deservedly so.
 In the first place, MT. Gray Is a suc- Cessful business man, accustomed to busi- ness transactions, commensurate with the responsibility of the office of Treasurer, while MT. Miller is untried clerk, ac- customed to nothing more responsible for the past thirteen years than writing of the minutes of a court mere clerical work, but if you should give him position such as County Treasurship, would he not be lost and incompetent to fill it. The Treas urship is not altogether a clerical position, for it carries with it grave responsibilities, too, and requires capacity which MT. Gray possesses through his experience and abil- ity, but which I do not think MT. Miller has.
 I have no objection to the people of the county continuing to support MT. Miller, as they have with a clerkship in the court house for the past thirteen years, but when it comes to business office, let us give it to business man like Henry Gray.
 Indeed Mr. Gray is the only man in the race thoroughly equipped for the of- flee, and I believe the people of Jefferson County are going to overwhelming nomin- ate him for it. "

Republican Scramble

The republicans are expected to have very exciting convention this year. The last primaries were held on Saturday and as is the usual custom, both factions are claiming a majority of the delegates. The Bingham faction seem to have the better of the light and local politicians are pre- dieting the success of this faction. The leaders of the Bingham faction here say that they have secured 225 delegates, out of total of 336 As this faction controls the state committee it brightens their prospects. However, it is most probable that the losing side will bolt and carry the matter to the Philadelphia convention for final settlement.
 This convention will be held in the hall of the house of representatives at the state capitol. Proceeding the meeting of the convention a special committee consisting of ten men from both the Bingham and Vaughan factions will meet on the 18th and by the selection of an extra man, then at tempt to pass upon all contests. If this committee fails in its work, it will then appoint a credentials committee which shall pass upon the temporary roll of the convention. The discussion of the creden- tials committee, shall by order of the Bingham Vaughan agreement, be binding, and no double contesting delegations are to be sent to Philadelphia.

THE HOUSE

Washington, April 12.-The house today, after spirited debate, adopted the reso- lution reported from the insular affairs committee to authorize the secretary of the treasury to designate depositaries in Porto Rico, Cuba and the Philippines for the deposit of government funds. By the terms of the resolution, it applies to Cuba only so long the island shall be occupied by the United States. An amendment to in- clude the Philippines in this provision as to Cuba, offered as stated, to emphasize the desire of the opposition not to retain the islands, was defeated by a party vote. A senate bill which will permit the de- pendent mothers of soldiers or sailors of the Spanish war, even though they mar ried Confederate soldiers to receive the benefit of the general pension law, was passed.
