The Hear Approach of the nomi nating Convention IM'AEING BKPOPLICASS HUSTLE. Ifhe Names of the Leading Candidates, and Some Opinions Fas to those who mat be successful rCORKESPOKBBKCK OV THE DIsrXTCH.1 MnitCEE, May 5. The political field of Bthe "Messer diocese," as Editor "Whitaker. "of the Venango Spectator, characterizes us, ?has been plowed, subsoiled, harrowed and cross-harrowed the past few days as never before. An abundance of seed aud chaff ujhave been scattered broadcast, some of it, iJno doubt, falling on stony places, and to Sr .know how much will bear fruit we roust -wait until the 20th, when the hopes of the f -'few and the disappointments of the many will be realized. This will be the first larce nominatinc convention since the new rules were adopted 'to govern the selection of candidates, and the question now of greatest interest to can didates and their friends is, "How are the new rules likely to work?" One thing has already been made plain; they allow the candidates a golden opportunity to work, and the fellow who isn't a hustler or does not have friends who are hustlers, will find his name written in the Dennis column. TJKDEE THE KEW BOT.ES the electors meet at their respective places of holding elections, and vote for the candi dates of their choice. The one receiving the highest vote is regarded as the first choice of the district, the nest highest second choice, and the next third choice. The dele gale elected to attend the convention must cast the number or votes to which his dis trict is entitled, in accordance with their opinion as expressed at this election. If but one candidate has been voted for, then the delegate is free, after that one is out of the way, to vote his disrict as he pleases; or if but two have been voted for, he can use bis pleasure as to third choice; bnt if three have received votes, he must support them in turn until they are all off before he can vote lor any other. There are in all 73 announcements in the Dispatch Republican of those who are not only willing, but anxious, to serve the dear people and themselves in some capacity. A few years ago it was the custom for every old soldier who announeed himself as a candidate, to give the name of the com pany and regiment to which he belonged when in the service; but, though there are several old soldiers among the candidates this year, only two call attention to the fact in their announcement. One candidate adds this to his announcement: "One term's receipts from this office are enough." As might be inferred front this, the fellow be is trying to oust has served one term. One candidate for Assembly announces himself as a blacksmith, while another, for commis sioner, sets forth that he is a farmer. With these exceptions there is nothing to denote the vocation of the different candidates, but it is evident they are one and all willing to drop their present business for the sake of holding "a bit of an offis." SLATE ASD BLACKBOAItD. Heretofore the existence of a political ring has been strongly suspected and charged It was the ring against the field, with the field usually left out in the wet. This year there has been a dissolution of partnership among the leaders, and there are now two rings, or a ring aud a ringlet; or one might be termed a slate and the other a blackboard. J? Your correspondent docs not claim to be a political prophet, but present indications poiut to results which he will outline, though material changes mav take place within the ten days yet to come before the convention. The contest for Congress is carried on by 3Iaj. Alex McDowell, the jolly banker of ' Sharon and Hon. J. C. Brown, late of the Greenville Advance-Argus. Both are well and favorably known, but the drift of opinion seems to be that McDowell will have an easy victory, in the county, even if it prnrei to be an empty honor in the district. Following are the candidates for Assem bly: J. S. Fruit, Sharon; I. H. Eobb, Sandvliake; Benjamin Hughes, Pardoe; "V. H. Miller, Greenville; I. B. Spier, Greenville; Heury Hall, Mercer; W. J. Harshaw, Grove City; Joseph Miller, Pine township. It is pretty generally conceded that Frint and Hall, who have served two terms, will again be nominated. The fight for third place seems to be among Eobb, Spier and Harshaw, with the odds in favor ol Bobb. FOE THE SHKIEVALTY. The candidates for sheriff are: A. H. Burnett, Sew Vernon; Samuel Dunham, Sliarpvillc; Charles Clawson, Mercer,' and B. E. Welch, Grove City. It was thought at first that Clawson would have a walk over for this office, but Burnett has devel oped unexpected strength the past few days. He has been a candidate several times and always bore defeat gracefully. It is prob ablv a question of now or never with him, and" the tide of sympathy that sometimes carries victory in its wake may put Burnett through, though it will be a victory for the ringlet i f he gets there. One of the most spirited contests is going on to decide who shall be Clerk of Courts. Following are the candidates: S. V. Mc Dowell, Delaware township; C. "W. Bay, Sharon; J. C. Van Orsdell, 'Wilmington township; G. E. Hamilton, French Creek township; S. D. Downs, Hempfield town ship; S. A. Wilson, Stoneboro; H. H. Zeigler, Slercer. Most of them are hustlers, and the man in this county who doesn't know that we are to elect a Clerk of Tourts this fall mnst have been taking a Bip Van Winkle sleep. It looks as if Downs, Kay and Zeigler would lead the field in theorder named to start with, but where it will end is as uncertain as the verdict of a petit jary. It would to-day likely be Downs, but what it will be on the 2uth is not so easy to predict. Downs has made a tolerably suc cessful effort thus far to keep from becoming identified with either ring or ringlet to hurt his chances with the others. OKLT TWO CANDIDATES. The Prothonotary contest has narrowed down to B. J. Haywood, the present in cumbent, and T. A. Courtney, of Mercer. Havwood has had considerable of a pull at the public teat, but as he has made a most competent aud courteous officer, and, be sides, is one of the keenest of Mercer county's keen politicians, it is thought, even by many of his opponent's friends, that Haywoo'd will be his own successor. Mr. Courtney is qualified for the position am! is popular. He is making his fight against the underlying principle of civil service reform, however, and using the plea that one term is sufficient. The candidates for Treasurer are W. H. Bcii, oi Greenville; W. J. Graham, ot Jack son Center, and W. H. Dight, of Mercer. The fi;lit is wholly between Beil and Griiliiiui, and will be a typical con test between the ring and ringlet. This office, !or some reason. Las been claimed by the farmers for several years, and gne of their number chosen to fill it, but this year will be an exccption.as Beil is cashier of the Greenville National Bank and Graham Superintendent of the Jackson Center Horse Company. As Jackson Center is more of an agricultural village than Greenville,Graham claims the preference, as well as from the fact that managine fine stock comes nearer farm ing than managing a national bank. Beil is a capable business man, and it looks as if he would be first under the wire. A EOT OP TVIEEIJTQ ONES. The following 11 good men and true ask that the mantle of County Commissioner be placed on their shoulders: J. Y. Templeton, West Salem township; J. C. Black, Grove City; Joseph Junkin, Findlay township; S. K. Babcock, Coolsprinc township; Thomas P. Munnel, Springfield township; Alberts. Hernott, Pvniatumng township; David Thompson, Sandy Creek township; G. W. Fereruson, Delaware township; William McQuiston, Deer Creek township; Fred Myers, Hickory township; K. I. Campbell, Greenville. It is more difficult to form any deeided opinion as to who will be successful for this office than for any other on the list. Tem pleton has served one term and has made many friends who would be glad to see the one term idea violated in his favor. He is making a thorough canvass and may pull through. Ir the prejudice against a second term kills him off, then Ferguson or Thomp son may touch bottom, while Munnel, ow ing to his very favorable location, be side being a capable man, stands a good chance for being the other. The candidates for Kecorder are: C. J. Law, Pymatuning township; John B. Hogue, New Vernon township; J. M. Stew art, Pymatuning township, and J. M. Mil ler, Findley township. The fight between Law and Stewart will likely award the prize to Hogue, by the way a very worthy man, who came within a few votes of being nominated for Treasurer three years ago. OTHER OFFICES TO FILE. George Moyer, Pymatuning township; George Maurer, Mill Creek township; J. F. Hope, Hickory township, and J. W. Haw thorne, Sandy Lake township, are the can didates for Poor Director. Hawthorne and Hope are the strongest candidates, with chances in favor of Hawthorne. J. D. Emery. Esq.. of Mercer, thus far has no opposition for District Attorney. There are six candidates for delegate to i State Convention, and as but three are needed, three must be left. No doubt all are Delamater men. Following are the names: T. O. Hazen, Sharpsville; F. Don aldson, Jr., Greenville; Daniel Williams, Sharon; G. H. Caldwell, Deer Creek; W. A. McMasters, Jamestown; C. M. Derickson, Mercer. If I were to make a guess, it would be that Williams, Caldwell and Donaldson will be the three lucky candidates. THE RESULTS AT LAKCASTEB. A Hot Fight End With Broslu. Awty Ahead Hestloirs Delegate.. ISPECIAI. TKLEnBAM TO TOE DISPATCH. 1 Lascastek, Pa., May 5. This was an other big day for the Republican poli ticians, aud the town has been filled with them all day. The board of return judges met at 11 o'clock in the Court House and or ganized without the least trouble. Joel L. Haines was chosen President and the clerks proceeded with the count, which will not be finished until a very late hour to-night or early to-morrow. The politicians have kept the figures very closely and enough is known to indicate who is nominated. The successful nominees for the principol offices are the same as pub lished in The Dispatch this morning, with a few exceptions. B. F. Urban has beaten M. S. Foy for clerk of quarter ses sions by less than 200. The prison in spectors are Andrew H. Hershey and Al bert Smith; poor directors, H. W. Graybill and E. H. Hershey; auditors, Samuel B. Good aud A. K. Wenger; coroner, Peter Honaman. The figures show thatBrosius has run like wildfire, and bis majority over Myers will be about 10,000. In the upper district the fight for State Senator was very close and the result was not known till this afternoon. W. S Smith is the successful man, and he has beaten Kauffman by about 70 votes. Stober is third, and will fall 75 behind Kauffman. The nominees for Assembly in the Northern district are D. H. K. Blough, C. G. Boyd and A. G. Seyfert In the Southern they are A. C. Baldwin and Milton Eby. The names of the delegates to the State Convention are: Northern district. Ezra H. Burkholder, William Evans, James A. Myers; South ern, E. O. Lyte, Day Wood; City, Eichard Blickenderler. It is said a majority of them are for Hastings. CLAEI0N FOE DELAMATEB.

THE A DEMOCRAT, SURELY The Only Answer Thai Can How he Given to the Query, WHO WILL BE THE CONGRESSMAN That Shall Eepresent a Block of Four Conn ties in Eastern Ohio. LOTS OF CANDIDATES IN THE. FIELD fTECIAL TELIOKAJf TO TUX DlfPATCtt.l Bellaibe, O., May 5. The new district, composed of Belmont, Monroe, Noble and Washington counties, will elect a Democrat to Congress next November by a plurality of about 1,500 votes. As soon as the redis- tricting bill had passed the two Houses of the Legislature, the names of half a dozen aspirants for the honor were given to the public, and within a week as many more will make themselves known. General A. J. Warner, of Marietta, is the most prominent 'candidate. He is indeed the only one of them with more than a local reputation. Warner, however, is a belter statesman iban he is politician, and it is conceded by his friends that he cannot secure the prize. His position on the tariff question is par ticularly obnoxious to the Democrats of the district. He is ranked as a Bandall Demo crat, and was the author of the "straddling" platform adopted by the State Committee of 1883. In his own county one of his oppo nents will be Editor McMillan, of the Marietta Times. MONROE'S CANDIDATES. In Monroe county two men are discussed for the nomination one of them is Judge Driggs, of the Belmont-Monroe Judicial dis trict. His term will expire in another year, and he has not fully determined what to do. He can get another's ve years' term as Judge Ifhe chooses. But if he plunges into poli tics, and enters into the Congressional race, all his hopes are gone. It is likely that Driggs will stand aside for J. P. Spriggs, who lives in Woodsfield, and was at one time a law partner or Judge Driggs. Spriggs is a little past the prime of life, and is prominent at the bar. He will receive fair support from his own county. The largest county in the district is Bel mont, and polls more Democratic votes than any of the others. The convention will be held here in Bellaire, it is presumed, the metropolis of the county, so Belmont has already a number of aspirants in the field. One of them is Colonel James' F. Charles worth, a soldier in the Mexican war, who, despite his age, is quite sprightly. Charlcs worihwas an old-time Whig" aud ran a newspaper at the county seat many years ago. He was a candidate for Congress in 1880 in a district overwhelmingly Republi can, and was of course defeated. He has acted as chairman of the county committee, and at present represents his Congressional district on the State Committee. PLENTY OP TIMBER. Boss J. Alexander, of Bridgeport, made the fight two years later against J. T. TJpde graff. and cut down his majority to a very narrow margin. When Updegraff died two months later, Alexander again ran, and was beaten by Joseph D. Taylor. He served one term in the Legislature and distin guished himself as an economist of the Hol man stripe. He ran for Probate Judge two years ago and was defeated. Newell E. Kennon is another candidate. He is about 35 years old and is a practicing lawyer. He was elected prosecuting at torney of Belmont county in 1884, and was defeated in 1887. The politicians of the county seem to favor him. OTHERS IN THE RACE. Albert Lawrence, who came into the county as a visiting statesman a few vears ago, is also said to be a candidate. Law rence was made much of after his advent into county politics; was made solicitor of St. Clairsville, and was favored in various ways by the Court House Democrats. Two vears ago he ran for the Legislature a hopeless contest Lawrence is a man of fair ability, and the greatest obstacle to his success is the cry of "carpet bagger" raised against him. The friends of Hon. David Wagener are urging him to enter the race. Senator Wagener has tremendous popularity along the river front, and if he determines to enter the field he will certainly infuse a vigor into the contest which will not otherwise characterize the race. The situation may be briefly summarized. General Warner is ruled out of the race at the start, and who will be the winner is problematical. SOMETHING IN A NAME. Violin Didn't Menu Fiddle to An Old -Time Coneiioga Wanner. A gentleman stood in "Virgin alley Sun day afternoon, listening to the music in the Third Presbyterian Sabbath School. "I never hear a violin," he said, "without thinking of a story told on the founder of a now wealthy and aristocratic Pittsburg family. The old gentleman was the pilot of a Conestoga wagon, which in those days transported merchandise over the moun tains. He received a consignment at Har risburg marked 'Violins handle with care.' "The old man had never seen theVord 'violins' before, and probably imagined that it was some death-dealing substance. Any way he carefully avoided all the ruts in the road to Pittsburg, and looked out for ob structions and morasses as carefully as The Dispatch exploring expedition. He de livered the cases safely and stood by while the contents were disclosed. He gazed long and earnestly, and then exclaimed in tones of deep feeling: 'Why, them's just fiddles, be gosh!'

COULD 1T0T HELP IT. Surprise at the Result Causes Miss Satter to State Her Case. RESULTS OF HOME TREATMENT "I had no intention of making a statement for publication. Indeed, it was the last thing I thought of, for I have often said I would never see my name in print. But the result is so complete in my case, and after I had given up all hope, it is such a surprise to find myself well that I can hardly do otherwise than give my testi mony." It was with a great deal of emphasis that Hiss Tillie Satter. of 64 Nineteenth street, Southside, spoke these words to the writer, and her statement throughout was given with an earnestness that made it interest ing. "I had been troubled for a long time," con tinned Miss Satter, "and there was never a day that I was free from aches and pains. 'My head and nose would stonup. My nos trils would clog first on one side and then on the other. There were roaring and buzzing noises in my ears. My eyes were weak and watery. I could feel the mucus dropping into my throat. I was constantly hawking and raising. "A dry, hacking cough set in, which at times was so violent that my throat would become so raw and sore that I conld hardly swallow. "Sharp pains would Bhoot through my chesc extending as far as the shoulder blades. I had no appetite. The very sight of food caused a nausea in my stomach. " "I could not sleep, and in the morning was tired and unrefreshed. "I grew weaker every day, and was greatly reduced in weight. "It was while in this condition that I read of the wonderful success Drs. Copeland & Blair were having with cases similar to;my own; so determined to see them. I did so, and after con sultation placed myself under their care. "Their treatment certainly performed won ders for me. My head and throat no longer choke up. The pains in my chest have disap- eared; my appetite is good and I sleep welll nfactlamllko a different person from the one 1 was when 1 went under their care. Miss Satter lives, as stated, at No. 64 Nine teenth street, and this interview can be readily verified. HOME TREATMENT. Mrs. Robert Itamsey. of Washington, Pa., speaking of her successful treatment with Drs. Copeland & Blair, says: Every fall for the past five years I have been troubled with chronic dyspepsia. Have tried conntless remedies and various physicians without any relief. I could not get ease from pain in any position I would assume. Every breath I drew was like a knife cutting me. I became weak and pale, losing greatly in weight. Since I have been with Drs. Copeland & Blair all these symptoms have disappeared, and I now feel as well as I ever did. Jacob Altmeyer, of Kisher, opposite McKees port. Fa., states: "1 commenced treatment fur my catarrhal tronble with Drs. Copeland & Blair on June 29, 1889.
