Norrisville, March 12.-The Lanoilla
county conventions will not be held until
about the last Of June, hut possible nom.
nations are already being discussed.
For senator MorrisVille may have two pos
slhe candidates. George NJ. Powers and
Clement +. Smith. Smith withdrew two
years ago in favor of Pike who was elected
" olcott may have one in the name of 8.
II. Shattuck, and Cambridge Wallace II.
Parker.
Fer States attorney only two names have
thus far been mentioned. Fred Bicknell
of Johnson and Col. Z. B Sawyer of hyde
Park Bicknell is Cne CT the youngest
members Of the Lamoille county bar. and
Sawyer is one of the Oldest For sheriff
nothirg has yet been said and probably
the only name liable to re presented. aside
from the present incumbent, A. d. Rob-
bins, will be George L. Town of Morris
Vile, who came very near getting tho
place two years ago
One assistant judge will probably be
chosen. Judge Morse at Morrsvillc will
probably be Guccseded by Judge Thomas
of BelVIdere and his place will be filled by
a new man. ThA name of V. r. MacIn-
tOch of Stow and two or three others
have been mentioned.
For judge Of probate Hon. l.. c. White,
who has filed the lcsitlon for the past
10 years, will undoubtedly receive the
united support Of both democrats ana re-
pubiicans.
For the democratic party little can la
said aside from the fact that they will
have their convention make their nomn-
10 years, will undoubtedly receive the
usual number Jf votes.
