A gentleman well versed In local

suid:
"The Democratlo county convention

A before stated, the only business will
be the election of Ave delegates to the
state conventlon.The Democrats have
plans which will make the June elec
tion, ao far as state offices are con
cerned, an Interesting one, but nothing
definite la yet given out
'The political pot haa already begun
to boll In this county and aspirants for
office are already to be observed In
attitudes of much confidence Inter
viewing the delegates; to the conven
tions. It Is rumored that the Repub
licans will nominate Mayor Suprenant
for the state senate, while C. J.-Curtis
and C. F. Lester are spoken of iaa
legislative candidates. It Us said that
Mr. Curtis evades the daaua when ques
tioned about the matter, but friends
of that gentleman assert that he de
sires the Republican nomination. Both
Mr. Curtis and Mr. Lester have been
members of previous legislatures. Just
who will be named by the Cltlaen 1
problematical," he continued, "but

IRVING HOWLBRS WON OUT.
Victorious in last Night's Contest by
Margin of Nine Pins.
The Irving bowlers turned the tables
on the Commercials last night and
won a hard-fought contest by the nar
row margin of nine plna Poor bowl
ing characterised the tf am greatly
to the disappointment of the enthus
iasts, who had expected some sensa
tional work. The alleys were a trifle
slow, but the bowling waa slower, and
the second game of the Irving was
the only good one ot the night A
on previous occasions, a large and
enthusiastic crowd was present.
For the Irving. C. Fulton was
high, with 176. Fulton's bowling was
exoellent throguhout Chutter distin
guished himself with a 64 fame the
best of the evening. Goodell's 166 was
high for the vlsltora
There Is now a strong sentiment In
favor of getting up first and second
teams from both curb for another
series of gomes. The suggestion comes
from Captain Aslbury. of the lrvlngs,
and is favorably regarded by the
Commercials. It Is sugges-.ed that the
first team be made up of olxNmen and
the second team of six or vlgltt men,
as may best suit the convenience cf
the clubs. The present tournament
has given ao great an Impetos ! the
sport that a eontlnu it? Is denna.
