 In this issue Of the ERA will be found the announcement of ]. C. Robinson. of Stafford, for the office of county treasurer, subject to the endorsement of ;he democratic county convention. MT. Robinson is cashier Of the Stafford bank, and is highly respected in tbe valley, where he has long resided His many friends throughout the county will give him a hearty support.
 The ERA is informed that it has been arranged between Rice and Webb that they will ask for nominations tO the same legislative honors which they filled az anpntfnRad at one time that Webb desired to go to the council this year, but has since concluded that speaker of the house will do him just about as well, and do away with a scramble for the office.

 So far the republicans have shown no interest in the coming campaign. and the ERA is informed that they will not hold their primaries unti. tate in September. There is evidently a little strategy in this for they will al- low the democrats to exhaust them selves, when the republicans will start in fresh. It is passing strange. how ever, that there are no republican this year. Probably they are all too busy, or awaiting for the people to call them from the blow aud she workshop.

 The democratic central committee which convened in Solomonville last week fixed the 30th day of July for holding the county primaries and August 9th fo. the county convention The committee left it optional with the various precinct chairmen a. to they shall order primary elec- tionS, conventions or mass meetings. but requiring them to give at least three days notice of the time and place where such meetings shall be held. The call for the meeting will ce found in another column Of this paper. The convention is held unusually early this yea, but that does not necessarily mean long campaign. a. the cdndi- dates may not take an active interest in the campaign until several weeks after the meeting of the convention The majority of the old ofiicer>wiil he '>e- nominated without opposition The nnly interesting feature of ;he cam paiSn so far iS over the office oi county treasurer. for which there are three IL Is intimated, however. that there will be opposition la the re- inS, but So far no authentic announce nent has been made.
