A Cuess.

Our guess is that the Ring will procure the nomination of the following county ticket, and label it Republican:—For Clerk, Ezra L. Clark, of Marion township; for Auditor, Frank W. Babcock, of Marion township; for Treasurer, Lemuel C. Janes, of Kankakee township; for Recorder, Harvey W. Wood, of Marion township; for Sheriff, Lewis L. Daugherty, of Marion township; for Real Estate Appraiser, ; for Coroner, Norman Warner, of Marion township ; for Surveyor, Charles A. Mayhew, of Marion township; for Commissioner in, 2d District, John M. Wasson, of Mapon township; for Commissioner in 3d District,! anything to beat Hoover. Of course this is mere guessing, as we not permittee! to know very much tha't occurs at their private consult alious. It is possible that the Convention, may be strong •enough*to act independently of the Rjp ; g ( i nftueneey and if so it is pot at

all improbable that Captain James A. Burnham may be nominated for Clerk; John Querry, of Gillam, for Auditor; and Henry I. Adajps, of Jordan, or some gentleman of Carpenter township, for Treasurer. Either one or all of these modification are possible, though in our judgment not probable. Probabilities are strong at present that the ticket will be as first indicated.
