And first, of the ist ynal district. In this, Mr. E wil unfoubtediy receive the Republican nomination. Mr. Strader will also pretty certainly be nominated by the Democrats. An opportunity will thus be afforded these anxious and patriotic itlemen to settle the | matter of their con’ seat before the people, instead of in the House, and of paying their own expenses, too, instead of having m boTne by Uncie Sam. What the result will be, it sa little hard to foretell. For, though this district and also the seeond) went pretty strong for endleton last year, it is deemed safe to count upon it for a goed Republican candidate this year, on account of the accessions to the party through the 15th amendment; yet with Mr. Eggleston as the nominee the full strength of the pf cannot be secured. Many of its best @ nomination in this district wil any hope of success, unless there should be a split in the Democratic ranks, which is no probable, though the like has happened in that district before now. In the 15th district Gen. Morgan is pretty sure to be re-nominated, unless Dr. Alfred Ball, who | Was his strongest competitor two years ago, de- velops more strength in the convention than I now think possible. He will do his best, ho ever, and being good at intrigue, ener plausible, may come out number one, thoagh Present 1 doubtit. The newly-acquired colored vote in this district will cut down semewhat the big Democratic majority of last year, bubhardiy enough to give the Repablicans mach hope of being able to carry it. Conseyuently, Kepabli- cap aspirants are not very plenty, though a candidate will undoubtedly found in tim some person who is willing to undergo defeat for the chances of being taken care of by the administration afterwards. é 3 i % 4 H § i z F z z and most active members will 1 ?

With the in- cr a ed | rospect of success, be will have pretty formidable competitors befere the nominating convention. Among them may be named Wm. | E. Davis, one of the owners of the Chronicl-, at present pension agent, and Gen. H. B. Ban- ning, lately of Mt. Vernon, who, seeing the sne- sess of carpet-bagism in’ the ‘person of Mr. Stevenson, has concluded to try his chances in the same line. Jt isalso believed the Chronicle | Would rarnish @ second candidate, if requested, in the person of Mr. Joseph H.

Biak, of Medina, who tormerly represented the d! trict, and Ju Osborn and Hon. J. W. Smith, of Ashland. For want of concentration of the friends of these parties Judge Welker may carry off the honors, as he has done before,—that is, if he does not think them too barren, as they may be; for he only carried the district two | years ago by about 450 majority, while the Dem- Ocrats carried it last year by some 750, and the colored iroops are very scarce in the ‘district, (outside of Lorain county, where they have al- Ways voted,) however nobly they may be dis- posed to fight. As yet I hear no Democratic mes talked of for the nomination, but it is re than likely that Mr. Critchtield, who was defeated by Welker tm ‘68, will be nominated sone now that the chances of his saccess are tter. Hen. E. H. Moore deciines a renomination in the 15th district, which fact will bring to the surface quite a number of Kepublican aspir- ants, as the district is reliably Repablica Among there may be Col. Samuel Knowles, of Marietta, Gen. T. F. Wildes and Col. C. H. Grosvenor, of Athens, Hon. Joseph vary, of Gallipolis, and Gen. F. B.

Pond will have a good deal v strength in the conventio: ‘The Democrats have not made much stir yet, but Mr. Follett, who was defeated by Mr. Moore two years ago, can no doubt have the bomination if he desires it.
