NOTES.
Republican convention held Thursday, October 7; J. H Gould, Wa baunsce, chairman; L. E. North, Eskridge, secretary.
Democratic convention Friday, October 8; L. Pauly, Alma, chair- man; R. A. Wald, secretary.
Greenback convention Saturday, October 23.
The interest of the Republican convention was centered on rep- resentative-Mr. L. J. McCrumb and Mr. Alden E. True, being the contestants. The former was regarded as belonging to the Watson faction and Mr. True to the Sellers faction. In forecasting the strength of the two factions there appeared to be a majority of four in favor of the Sellers side, thus assuring the nomination of Mr. Truc. . When the vote was taken Mr. McCrumb was declared the nominee. The ballot on superintendent resulted as follows: W. E. Richey, 34; A. F. Wade, 22: E. Newby, 10: blank 1, giving Mr. Richey the nomina- tion by 1 vote.
The vote on president: Garfield, 1279; Hancock, 510.
For governor: John P. St. John, 1032; Edmund G. Ross, 697.
For congress: Thos. Ryan, 1250; Wade McDonald, 502.

NOTES.
Republican convention, Thursday, September 7. H. A. Pierce, Newbury, chairman; D. C. Robinson, Mission Creek, secretary.
B. F. Hoskinson was nominated for sheriff on the eighth ballot.
At this convention Chas. Ross was nominated for treasurer; D. V. Dowd for county clerk; Jos. Fields for register of deeds; W. T. Mahan for surveyor; E. W. Eldridge for coroner, and Geo. Mogge for com- missioner 1st district, and B. H. Younker commissioner 2nd district.
Among other claims it was urged that all the candidates nom- inated, except for sheriff, were residents of Alma. This, with other reasons, led to the calling of a mass convention. The claim that the convention was packed in the interest of certain candidates led to the announcement of several independents-making the contest a com- plicated free-for-all race-the divided vote requiring-in case of clerk or sheriff-but a comparatively small number to elect.

NOTES.
Republican convention held at Alma, Thursday, September 28. Henry Rickel, Eskridge, chairman; G. Zwanziger, Alma, secretary.
The question of resubmission was the controlling issue in the contest for state officers, resulting in the election of the first dem- ocratic governor since the admission of Kansas as a state. The same issue resulted in the election of Mr. Pauly for representative.
The question of rotation in office-the feeling that Wilmington was entitled to the commissioner-was made manifest at the polls- resulting in the election of Mr. Core. Mr. Henderson having accepted the nomination under protest and against his best judgment, and that only upon the earnest solicitation of his friends, was perhaps among the least disappointed at the result.

NOTES.
Republican convention, Wednesday, September 23. Mr. A. F. Thayer, Maple Hill, chairman; Mr. J. B. Fields, Alma, secretary.
Democratic county convention called People's Mass convention to meet at Alma, September 26,- 1885. Work unsatisfactory, nearly every nominee declining to run.
People's Mass meeting called to meet Saturday, October 10.
All candidates nominated at the mass convention, except sheriff, surveyor and commissioner, were elected.
For the office of sheriff this was a free-for-all race, the lack of statutory provisions relative to the printing of tickets offering in- ducements to independent candidates that under the Australian ballot does not exist.

Democratic convention. Saturday, October 9. Mr. L. Pauly, Alma, chairman; Mr. E. S. Vance, Harveyville, secretary.
Resubmission being the paramount issue in the campaign, Mr. Crafts was induced to run as an independent candidate-after the nomination of Mr. Taylor-leading democrats assuring Mr. Crafts that their party convention would put forward no opposing candidate. Although prominent democrats having the best interests of their party and the issue at heart, made every effort to bring about the withdrawal of Mr. Clark, other influences (?) seemed to prevail, with the anticipated and inevitable result-the election of Mr. Taylor.

NOTES.
Republican convention, Tuesday, September 27. Mr. John Sud- weeks, Eskridge, chairman; Mr. A. H. Stiles, Pavilion, secretary.
No delegates from Kaw or Washington township.
Democratic convention, Saturday, October 8. Mr. Geo. W. Thompson, Wabaunsee, chairman; Mr. J. Y. Waugh, Eskridge, sec- retary.
The democratic convention made no nomination for register of deeds. In this convention Mr. Stuewe was put forward by the demo- crats for treasurer. As in the campaign of '96 resubmission entered into the contest, especially in the election of sheriff.
The News said: John McMahan got right down to business, and we were actually afraid about that record. The man that runs against J. M. wants to be a long way ahead in the start or else be up early in the morning .- D. W. SCOTT, ED ..
