great that it would be burdensome to
ask the men to seek the honor Of
representing this county in the ma
tional convention to bear II.
The county committee today will fix
the amount of the assessment that
candidates for the various nominations
will have to pay. Candidates must be
registered and have their assessment
paid at least twenty days before the
primaries to get their names on the
official ballot At least thirty days no
tice OF the primaries must be given by
the county committee. The coming
primaries will cost at least $4,000, but
as there is a host of candidates the
amount each will be compelled to pay
will not be large.
There is a good deal of conflict Of
opinion as to the best day for holding
the primaries. In the country districts
there is a general demand to have
them on Saturday but throughout the
valley there is quite q strong desire
to have them either oil a Friday or
Monday. It is held that Saturday is
bad day for business men and 9TH
ers who are practically debarred from
attending or taking any interest in the
primaries by the practice of holding
them on Saturday afternoon. This Is
one of the matters which the commit
tee will have some little difficulty in
settling this afternoon.
Besides the election of two national
delegates at the coming primaries can
didates will be nominated for congress

pey, prothonotary, clerk of the courts

car vas anywhere on the road. A
short time ago some old fortune

of Huntington that her missing
son, in company with two other
boys, had been frozen to death
somewhere in box car. The
Huntington papers stated that she
spent $50 90 in one day telegraph

this matter. We think the boy
will be found but not in box car.
