F. A. ilixhy , chmclrinaim of the democratic
county central committee , will issue a call
In a few days for the county convention
of his party to select delegates to attend
'the demimoeratlo state , congressional and in-
diciat conventions. The democratic state
convention will , be imold at Marshiahitown
Wedimesday , September 7 , and it is probable
that Clmairman flixhy will call thip county
convention for August 15 or some day thereabouts -
abouts , It vilt be held in this city.
Chairman Morriscy has called time con-
gmesional convention for Monday , August
2 , in timis city. hut in time last few days
It lmn been reported that tIme committee
iii commaidering the advisabilIty of changing
the date , although for what reason is mmot
stated. Time judicial convention lms not becim
called as yet , hut will probably be hick ! at
the same time and place as the congrcs-
slonal conveimtloim ,
At present there does not seem to ho any
eager rmmsh in the democratic camp ( or
offices and so far time names of very few
candidates are mentioned. It is behieveml
imowever , timat as soon as time county convention -
vention is called tha prospective candidates
vhil announce themselves and that there
will be no lack of material , at least as far
ns quantity goes. As far as is known at
jmreseiit there are no aspirnmmt.s in this neck
of time woods in the ranks of democracy
for any of the atato offlccs to he voted on
this fall , but it is said there are one or two
democratic attorneys who are figuring on
imusthung for time nomination for district
court judge. ThIB is mere rumor and the
reputed candidates umavo as yet made no
mmmmclt annauncenment for themselves. For
two of tIme county offices the mmnmcs of soy-
oral candidates have recently been mentioned -
tioned , hut as to the balance of the offices
to he voted on so tar no candidates have
declared themselves. Tlmero Is yet lots of
time before time election and as soon as
time political pot commences to bubble the
would-imo candidates will come to the top
all right.
For time office of county attorney three
candidates are mentioned as desirous of securing -
curing the democratic nomimmatioa-Roscoe
Barton , time well known attorney of Avoca ;
Thomas J. Casady of this city and W. II ,
Ware , likewise a amernher of time Council
Ultiffs bar. Cnsady at one time imeld the

Mr. Organ will be a candidate. TIm Ilealy
