Mr. Robert G. Bacon, of this place. has been
confined to his home several weeks suffering
beginning to boil in the 10th district and if re-
ports be true there will be many candidates in
the field before the day of the primary arrives.
AS there are likely to be many candidates in
the field there can be no harm in looking
them over in the hope that good men may be
secured. The most important thing of all is to
send first class reliable men to the county con-
vention. Unless this is done there is little to
be hoped for in the way of good results. Some
of those who have the office bee buzzingin
their bonnet are moving around among the
people at public places, such as sales, &C., and
thus letting 1.-THE dear" people know what they
are after. No doubt all kinds of promises will
be made only to be broken when the critical
time arrives, as has so often been the case here
tofore. Mr.. II. Seymour Piersol will be in the
field for sheriff and Mr.. Harry T .Pearce, son Of
Mr.. J. M. Pearce, is out for the same Office:
Col. Joshua H Cockey and Mr.. 0. M. Hutchins-

trict at the wind up of the convention as sort
of pacifier, as has been done on several occa'
sions before. Mr.. William T. Price, who has
given up farming, would like to be judge of
the Orphans Court. He is Simon pure Dem
ocrat and heightened man in every respect.
This is the first time he has ever aspired to an
elective Office. These are few of the men
who are now being talked about and there
may be many more as the time for the primary
approaches.
