There were a number of candi dates for' the legislature, .and: it was difficult to say, before the convention met, w ho waa likely to succeed, Mr Frick, however, on the last bal lot received a large vote, and will, no doubt, if elected, make an active and industrious member Mr. Hofla, the candidate for commissioner, i a young man f good character and. atandtng, and will, we are confident, anteavor to discharge tbe duties of the office in a faithful. . manner. Ilia competitors, Mr. Raker and Mr. Albert, are both democrats of good stauding in tbe party, and th'ir friends may properly say, if they did not meet with success they at least deserved it. But as all could not succeed, they will, of course, like good democrats, submit until a more favorable opportunity. Mr. Simpson, the candidate for Treasurer, is again before tbe people, ilia friends think his previous defeat, by a combination of circiinisiances, gives nun annmoiiai claims on the party, and that, if elected, he will faithfully perform bis duties. Mr. Johnson, the candidate for auditor, is said to be a good man,' and will, no doubt, make a good officer. Tbe campaign haa now fairly commenced in thia county, and if tbe democrats act in concert and union, as of old, the whole ticket will be elected by a large majority. ' ' ' 07" Com'sibia Coi:nh .
