In tbe rankt of tbe democratic party la thlt country a very active canvaaa It going forwa-d, and at everybody It not reeognlsed just at he thlakt he deserves, there it naturally some plain talk "all in the family." At tuoh talk Is a little Interesting when it it discovered and put on paper, we bave employed a special commissioner, this week, to visit the democratic camp and report the situation.

Hit itatementt are given in full reliance ou their being substantially true, and where any person's words are quoted, exactly true Your correspondent hu watched the boiling of the democratic pot, here in tbe county teat, the put week, with as much Interest as Watta did the tea-kettle when he discovered the steam en gine. There are a large number of aspirants who are anxious to be ucriflced on the altar of their political ambition, and are energetically seeking a nomination for one of these offices in the gift of the people of the county. They fig ure out their election, ir their nomination secured, with as much certainty If there was no live republican host that will march to certain victory in the Ides of November. Slates are made and broken, claims are pressed and rejected, every fellow for himself and the "dell take the hindmost." In the first place Old Ficklln has made a slate of "old settlers," that he thlnka would be just the thing. On that slate, he puts hi inself at the head as candidate for the state senate.

Berry O' Hair, brother of the notorious O'Halr who was sheriff In 1864, and led the mob that tired on the Union soldiers killing Dr. York and others, and who was obliged to leave the county aud finally died in exile as circuit clerk. Berry himself was a leader In the nights of the Golden Circle, to which traitorous organization the attack on the soldiers is undoubtedly due. For sheriff, Flck's slate name Win. Fuller, of Okaw, who could not be elected to a township office with a democratic majority of 90 to 108 in favor of his party.

For prosecuting attorney our "Orley" (Ficklln) Is named. Buck, of the Courier, Is determined to knock that slate into "smithereens," because he Is determined to take In that senatorial candidacy for himself. Even Mai. Jones hu been down from Douglas two or three times to induce the formidable Buck to relinquish bis bold, but he does not let go "worth a cent." He declares that he "will not be 'bam-booiled' out of a nomination he was by Heffernan In 1870; and that he Is not obliged to wait always on Old Kick, who seems to be so long winded." They may all ulk congress to him much as they please, he Is too old and shrewd a wire puller to be pacified with anything so "gauzy" or accept tbe empty compliment of a nomination where it impossible to succeed, In place of one with a probability at least. Associated with Buck, more or leu Intimately, art other vigorous kickers aitaiuH the Ficklln programme.

Billy breath. Eb. Clark and Jim Scott want the nomination for circuit clerk, the latter. It Is said, for the uae ef Riley Runvon so also do. Georr Woodt, of Humbolt, Mark A ih worth and Uncle Jese Ellis the great great dluppolnt-ed-of Okaw.

Billy Galbreath "af firms" that If he wants It he will have it; thu be can shut Dolph't mouth for and buy him body, breeches, and printing office for 25. He addt that he bu money enough now In bank, aince he sold his cattle, to buy up every dis affected democrat in Colea county There is little doubt hut he haa the money as he says. for with parsimonious hub ts and what he maue out oi tne county treasurer'e salary and per quisites, he is believed to be In posses sion of at last a "keg." JD. Clark "booma" on the proposition that he polled thu highest democratic vote ever cast In the county, and be "don't care a so that he beau. But mat con tested election case rests so neaviiy on him that It discounts, by a large per cent his azrrezate vote well chance for the nomination.

Aa his financial condition la not so fair Galbreath, he will not stand plucking and must depend on pacifying hit ad herents with promises or something else. Geo. Woods, like John Hunt, hu tht chronic Itch for office very bad, and la ready to take moat any thing. Jost now It It the office In tbe northwest cor nerof the court boose tbu he bu bis eagle no, woodpecker'seye on lilt backer Is tx-sherlff George It oore, who, as Jim Craig uyt, "with bit Methodism and lies, ean optet tbe tobem of any ring." Moore It said to bave a a financial interest In promoting tbe "boom" for Woodt. Uncle Jetto Ellis still, cllnra to the fottd bono that hit rrtv will finally r1f him an office Tht llnet ot tht poet flu bit cau.

Hop prion "Hint" la "aid Jm' braat-U Mm bat alwart tt Mwt-" ilf bOM deferred ever make anybody tick, it ought dtle Jesse. However, tbtre It to be an election next ifall and he again turns up thinking It ougbt to bo bit opportunity. Mtrk Ash worth only spoken 'of in cut Oalbreath get the start of lb. Clark. JIM Scott will a 6 Domestics, Flannels, BlanlCBts, JEAUS, find It very difficult to start even small "boom," with tbe ground to fully oconpled.

For protecutlng attorney, after our v.j ui.nrou V. Mil 11 there la no chance for bit older brother Alfred, then comet tbe correspondent of me towmeretaj, wno writes South Car olina articles from tbe office ot the so perlntendent of schools, Jamet Polk Rardin, a lawyer of tlx years standing who bu had just one case in the circuit court. If "Jim" would not make good prosecuting attorney, he must bave been formed in vain, for there nothing else under the sun that be seems to be eood for. After him In re mote ess of feeble hope comes the flerv Harrah from Jasper county, who claims to aDle to drink more whisky and at the same time make a better temperance speecn man any man in the state Harrah says he was made to believe that Coles was a democratic county, and he wu not already committed to the democrats, he would come out a re publican. With an ominous frown be "affirms" that if the democratic pty do not gi ve blm a chance for an office he will go over to tbe greenbackert or re publicans.

Johnny Brooks It very anxious to be a candidate for sheriff again, hoping If he rets the office another time, lo make his own appointments and ahake Jim Craig's deputies and jailors. Johnny minks there Is lots of glory in being sheriff even though It is under the rod of party lenders. He says he can beat Toland, Hunt, Fuller, Monfort or any other democrat In the contest for the nomination. Toland, sullenly, pre sents his claims, and thinks, judging from the put, with Brown, Bnoks arid others in memory that any fool can per form the duties of the office of sheriff and so there is a chance for himself. The other gentleman have not yet been around to confer with the ring and tbe readers of the Gazjcttb will have to wait a few days for the concluding chapter.
