It there should be any sre made in the canvas tor the nomina tion let there be plenty of time be fore the election to have them all heal over and the party present an unbroken, sold phalanx to the tne my. Some think the campaign was opcr.ed too early. This as it mav be, it is only the matter of opinion at best, and the committee h td no con trol over this matter, the campaign had already opened, the candid iU for ihe nomination for the tlifferen offices had precipitated the coiiet. and lv the committee deferring acnO ' only made the matter worse an t Cicaltd batl feeling. There is p!cn tv time given tor any aspirant to of fice to make the contest btoie thi convention, ami no candidate can complain ot not having an equal .-bowing in regard to time, a would undoubtedly have been done ha I th committee not been called togithei until late in the season, and then, ot mct'ssitv, only a short time given tor h canvass. The deliberations of the committe were harmonious throughout and each gentleman seemtd to be im hued with the best interest of the party and his constituents at home, each striving to vote in sentiment with his people as learned by his close connection and daily converse with them. Everybody could not be pleased, as we do not all see alike, but all should be satisfied with the result and acquiesce cheerfully in the will of the majority. Now that the date and manner ot nominating our party candidates has been fixed, it is the duty of every good democrat to study the character and qualifications of the aspirants tor positions on our ticket, and en deavor to choose none but the best men to fill our county offices. . About two months since applica tion was made through Hon. W. J. Stone, for the-establishment of a sig nal service station in this city, which has finally been secured, and hereaf ter the citizens of the Gem City will find a bulletin board, containing the latest weather indications, in front ot the wholsale house of Sherman Bros. Special dispatches will be received direct from Washington every morn tng and placed upon the bulletin, and parties at a distance will observe the flags floating above their store. The above clipping from the Ne. vada Democrat, shows conclusively that Congressman Stone is looking especiadv alter the interests of his political backers and warm supports in this district. The Sherman Bro's , are wholesale whiskey dealers in Nevada, and when parties from a distance observe the flags floating over their store, it is an indication that a blizzard is coming and a warn ing to fill your jug S.

Getready tor the blizzard, its going to strike the 12th distnet. The Kansas City Times in double leaded editorials is waging a fierce war on the railroad pool. The Times is engaged In a laudable en terprise and is giving the railroad robbers a dose of medicine that will make them twist in their seat.

FOR RECORDER In our announcement column thi week will he fonnd the name Ot that old and life long democrat Gentry West ot New Home township. M-. West is offering himself as a candi date for the office of recorder ot deeds. He is one of theoldest and most widely knorvn citizens of this county. His ability to perform the duties ot the office are unquestioned and his integrity as a man is above reproach and the brilliant race he made four years ago will not be a disadvantage in his present canvas. Gent. West is a gentleman ever inch and will make a good and faithful officer it the democracy see fit to se lect him. CIRCUIT CLERK. In our announcement column this week will be found the name of that sterling and popular young demo. crat John C. Hayes. He is a young- man of good moral habits, tull of pluck and energy, democratic from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet, and having served an ap prenticeship as deputy, under J R. Jenkins tor the past eight years, he has become thoroughly acquainted with the machinery and workings or the office. In short John Hayes is a young man competent in every par ticular and worthy the office he ?sks at the hands of the democratic party of this county, and the Times takes pleasure in adding its endorsement to his qualifications to fill the same. FOR RECORDER. It gives us pleasure to present, through our announcement columns this week, the name of Duke W. Simpson, of Deepwater township, for the office of Recorder." Mr. Simpson we might say is a native ot this county, has lived here compara tively all his lite, and is at present deputy recorder, a position he has filled tor the past three years with credit to himself and perfect satis faction to his employer. He thor oughly understands the duties ot the office, is a splendid pensman. clever and accommodating, and above all, is peculiarly fined for the posi tion. It the democracy v: hen they meet in convention, the last ot May, sec proper to give him the nomma tion, it will be but honoring a young man reared in this county, and one in every way worthy ot their oonfi dtnee and respect. Several candida.es have announced who we will give complimentary no tices next week. WORK AHEAD F0KTHEBW7 Cheerio z News All Alonj- the Line. The C. li. & and St. Iaui-.

Suit was filed in the circuit court here last evening against the new St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado railroad company by certain stockholders ot the Forest Park and Central railroad company, to recover the franchise ot the latter company which was acquir ed to the former under the order of sale made by the U. S. district court, and which, it is alleged, was secured by connivance and conspiracy. The petition denies the jurisdiction of the 1 United States court, and asks that the conveyance made by the United States marshal be set aside, and the control of the Forest Park and Ccn tral be returned to its stockholders. This franchise is of great value to the St. Louis, Kansas City and Col orado company, as under it they ob tain right of way into the city and into the union depot. Francis Tietnan, president ot the St. Louis, Kansas City and Colorado Company, denies the allegations in the petition, characterizes the suit as an attempt to impede the work on his road and says it will not succeed He further 6ays: "Our bonds are placed and we shall have our road completed to Crcvc i'oeur, twenty miles from here, in sixty davs. We have got plenty ot material, all which has been paid for, and woik is pro gressing rapidly. We have backing as good as wc want, and tne only reason why the names ot the s3-ndi cate behind this enterpiise have not been given to the puhhc is because we, the projectors and builders, arc not permited to divulge who or whnt this line is for further than that it ia strictly a St. Louis road. Track lav ing from this end will commence to morrow (Monday) w :thout tat'. We have just clo-eJ a contract for thin, miles of grading out of Ft.
