SIAS, of Manchester, As tbe several candidates regard a nomination as being equivalent to an election, tbey are sparing no labor to gain the prize they covet, and have been for several weeks actively engaged In presenting their respeotive claims to the republican electors of the county. Tbe managers announce that "all voters who believe in the principles and endorse the policies of the republican party are entitled to vote at the primary election," on the 31st inst. The principal issue raised at this elecj Hon will be: Is the candidate related to democrat in tbe remotest degree, either by blood, marriage or adoption, or does be ever expect to be? While such persons will be permitted to vote, it is not the intention of tbe party leader In this county to allow them to hold ofllce. There will of course be other minor issues such as. Whether an official shall have the privilege of select ing bis assistants, whether one of tbe republican organB shall bave all of the county ofllcial job printing, and who shall be tbe boss of tbe party. Qualill cations for the ollice sought will not be considered. In Memoriam.
