THE RADICA&JBOSTS. Assemble at Winslow and Place a Ticket in the Field to tie Knocked 1 Down in November. A Cit and Drlul Affair with rrrj Little EathV As advertised, the EtpaWican county convention took place at Winslowlast Saturday. By promising many attractions in the way of prominent men they succeeded in getting a pretty fair erqwd out, most of whom spent the day in wouderingwhat they had come for, inasmuch as the speakers advertised failed to materialize and the nominations were all a farce, it having been determined before who should be placed upon the ticket. There was very little enthusiasm or interest manifested and it seemed moire like a fnucral than the delilierations of a body of men expecting thc-ir labors to be crowned with success, and showed plainly that they had lint little hope. The following are the names of-the gentlemen who will be on board the old craft on her voyage up Salt river after the November election: For Treasurer—Huston Armstrong. For Sheriff—Janies Thomas. For Keeonler—George West. For Coroner—Henry Shafer. Foir Surveyor—James L. Keith. Foir Commissioner First District—Jed Evans. For Commissioner Second District—Albert H. Johnson.

AVe understand he goes to Petersburg Indiana. AYe are loth to ‘part with Hughes and his estimable lady, but our loss will be Petersburg’s gain.
