We think the cammittee wise act in selecting the time at for it there 1s to did a early date it did, he a warm fight let it be short and de cisive inthe democratic ranks then turn our batterres upon the en emy. It there should be any made in the canvass for the nomina tion let there be plenty of time be fore the election to have them all heal over and the party present an unbroken, sold phalanx to the ene-! my. Some think the campaign was opened to early. This as tt be, it is only the matter of opinion at best, and the committee had no con the had already opened, the may campaign trol over this matter, candidates differen’ contest, for the nomination for the ofhces had precipitated the and by the committee deferring action only made the matter worse and created bad feeling. There is pleu ty time given tor any asptrant to of | fice to make the contest. betore th. convention, and no candidate can complain ot not having an equal showing in regard to time, as would undoubtedly have been done had th committee not been called together until late in the season, and then, of necessity, only a short time given tor a canvass, The deliberations of the committe throughout and gentleman seemed to be im bued with the best interest the party and his constituents at home, each striving to vote im = sentiment with his people as learned by his close connection and daily converse with them. Everybody could not be pleased, as we do not all see alike, but all should be satisfied with the result and acquiesce cheerfully in the will of the majority. Now that the date and manner ot nominating our party candidates has been fixed, it 1s the duty of every good democrat to study the character and qualifications of the aspirants tor positions on our ticket, and en- deavor to choose none but the best men to fill our county offices. About two months since applica- tien was made through Hon. W. J. Stone, for the establishment of a sig- nal service station in this city, whrch has finally been secured, and hereaf- ter the citizens of the Gem City will find a bulletin board, containing the latest weather indications, in front ot the wholsale house of Sherman Bros. Special dispatches will be received direct trom Washington every morn ing and placed upon the bulletin, and parties at a distance will observe the flags floating above their store, The above clipping trom the Ne. vada Democrat, shows conclusively that Congressman Stone is looking especialy atter the interests of his political backers and warm supports in this district. The Sherman Bro’s , are wholesale whiskey dealers in Nevada, and when parties from a distance observe the flags floating over their store, itis an indication that a blizzard is coming and a warn- ing to fill your jug S.

FOR RECORDER In our avecuncement column this week will be found the name of that old and life long democrat Gentry West ot New Home township. Mr. West is offering himself as a candi date for the office of recorder ot deeds. He is one of the’oldest and most widely known citizens of this county. His ability to pertorm the duties ot the office are unquestioned aud his integrity as a man 1s above reproach and the bnilliant race he made four years ayo will not be a disadvantage in his present canvas. Gent. West 1s a gentleman ever inch and will make a good and taithtul Officer it the democracy see fit to se- lect him. CIRCUIT CLERK. In our announcement column this week will be found the name of that sterling and popular young demo- crat John C. Hayes. He is ayeungz man of good moral habits, full of pluck and-energy, clemocratic from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, and having served an ap- prentieeship as deputy, under J R. Jenkins tor the past eight years, he has hecome thoroughly acquainted with the machinery and workings ot the office. In short John Hayes isa young man competent in every par- ticular and worthy the office he asks at the hands of the democratic party of this county. and the Times _ takes pleasure in adding its endorsement to his qualrfications to fill the same. FOR RECORDER. It gives us pleasure to present, through our announcement columns this week, the name of Duke W. Simpson, of Deepwater township, for the office of Recorder. Mr. Simpson we might say is a native of this county, has lived here compara- tively all his lite, and 1s at present deputy recorder, a position he has filled tor the past three years with credit to himself and perfect sat:s- taction to his employer. He _ thor- oughly understands the duties ot the office, is a splendid pensman, clever and accommodating, and above all, i is peculia fitted for | tion. It the democracy when they meet in convention, the last ot May, | See proper to give him the nomina- tion, it will be but honoring a young man reared in this county in every way worthy of t! dence and respect.

FACTS AND FIGURES, St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 28.—Suit was filed in the circuit court here last evening against the new St. Louis, Kansas ~ and Colorado railroad company by certain stockholders ot the Forest Park and Central railroad company, to recover the franchise of the latter company which was acquir- ed to the former under the order of sale made by the U. S. district court, and which, it 1s alleged, was secured by connivance and conspiracy. The petition denies the jurisdiction of the United States court, and asks that the conveyance made by the Uunted States marshal be set aside, and the control of the Forest Park and Cen- tral be returned to its stocknolders. This franchise is of great value to the St. Louis, Kansas City and Col- orado company, as under it they ob tain mght of way into the city and into the union depot. Francis Tiernan, president ot the St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado Company, denies the allegations in the petition, characterizes the suit as an attempt to impede the work on his road and says it will not succeed He further says: ‘Our bonds are placed and we shall have our road completed to Creve “‘oeur, twenty miles from here,in sixty davs. We have got plenty ot material, all which has been paid for, and wo1k is pro- gressing rapidly. We have backing as good as we want, and the only reason why the names of the syndi- j cate behind this enterprise haye not, been given to the public is because | we, the projectors and builders, are H not permited to divulge who or what} this line 1s for further than that it ia] strictly a St. Louis road.
