The Democratic County Convention to-day nominated W. J. Emerson, of Round Prairie township for Clerk, and re-nominated Allen King for Recorder. No nomination was made for member of the Board of Supervisors. A victim for that office is to be decided upon next week. Perhaps that, like everything else, depends upon the result of the election in Ohio.
