DEMOCRATIC TOWNSHIP NOMINATIONS.

The democrats of Barkley, Jordan and Wheatfield townships held their conventions Saturday and each placed good tickets in the field. Barkley nominated T. M. Callahan for trustee and John Nortnan for assessor. Jordan nominated Wm. Wortley for trustee and Frank Nessius for assessor. The nominations were by acclamation. Delegates and alternates selected to the county contention were elected and were instructed to vote for delegates to the state convention who were solid for Bryan. No nominations were made for justices or constables. Wheatfield nominated S. D. Clark for trustee, Henry Misch for assessor, G. W. Swisher and Mike Bernicken for justices of the peace and George Grube, and Samuel Payne for constables. Mark Knapp, Wm. Dittman and Wm. Grebe, Jr., were nominated for advisory board. Mr. Clark served one term as trustee of Wheatfield tp., and made an excellent record. He is a careful man and is possessed of much more than ordinary ability. He straightened out the affairs of the township, which were in a badly muddled condition when he took the office, and turned it over A his successor in excellent condition. It would not be strange, considering, if it doesn’t need Mff Clark again at the helm to guide its ship of. state once more to a safe anchorage.
