The democrats are giving It out cold that they propose to put one of their number n County Commissioner Stenberg's place ths fall, and here is tho why and the Wherefore: Judgo Stenberg was eloeted -to his present position last fall for a term of three yoars, and in nccordancs with the now law was olected from and by one of the three districts into which the county is divided. Right thero is where the domocrats claim that mistake was made. Thoy say that this offi - cer should have been nom nated from that districr, but voted for by the entire county and uot by a single district, and in support of their position cite a decision of the su- prems court in a similar caso taken up from Otoo or Rinhardson county, in which it 1s said that the court hela that no part of a county could bo disfranchised in the election of a county officor. 50 I 1s held by the democratic wise men that Judge Steiberg can nov hold bis soat against a new man elected this fall by the ontire county, and they propose 10 put up a candidate to capture the judge’s job in case he doss not run agaiu and secure angthor election to the oftice which he now holds and for the balance of the term for which he was originally eloctod. Tho republicans assert that the original election will hold tightor than a pauper mar- riage in Rhode Island, and deny that Judge Stenberg’s tenure of oftice can be shortened in any way. s According to the figuring of the democratic oracles there will bardly be enough candi- dates to fill all the vacaticies that the demo- crats aforesaid are counting on in the county board. ‘Che way they do their arithmetic is 50 thing like this: Mujor Paddock was ap- pointed to fill the vacancy caused by the doath of Mr. Corrigan, and it is claimod that bis appointment holds good only until the following general clection, which 1o this fn- stance comos next November, as Mr. Corri gan died less than the thirty days required by law before tne election of last November, It is claimed, first, that a candi- date must be elected to serve out” the unmexpired term of Mr, Corrigan, which ends January 13, 1893, and that a candidate must also be elected for the three years following that time. 1t will thus be seen that four men must be elected to fill the vacancies on this board of five, at the same time allowing two of the old members to retain their seats undis- urbed. T'his is figuring by plain, simple democratic arithwetic. If tho'same probiem 1s solved by any of the advanced brancties of bourbon nigthomatics, trigonometry or calculus, it will require the i bers, thiree deputy commissioners, five clerks, tWo pages and a sergeant-nt-arms, Fortunately, the unexpired term of the late Georgo Timme, for which Mr. Williams was appointed, does notexpiro until Januar; 1594, so even the democratic ligatning caleu® lators concede that if he is elected once in November he can complete his term, Major Paddock is weil nigh heartbroien over tho array of figures presentsd by his demucratic bretbren. He thought that he had n big enough job on his hands before, but now that he is confronted Witk the pros- pect of having to get olected twice on one day he is tempred to do just as Governor Boyd did when he saw ‘a ponderous task looming up ahead of him—gat out of politics. Indications for a good candidate crop could not be hetter. In addition 1o thoso whose names havo already been submitted to the puolic with a prayer for considerate treatment, are the following -aspirauts for one or more of the soon-to-be-vacant com- missionerships: Hiram R.

Aug. 26.~T'he platform adopt- ed by the democratic convention endorsed the Chicago deciarations, demanded the free aad unlimited coinage of silver and denounced the international monetary conference as a frauvd.
