Barton. they feel hopeful of electing some of these candidates as they are strong capable men. -- Last evening the officers and invited friends gathered at the residence of H. J. Sheffield and gave him a genuine surprise. Some of his friends kept him uptown till 7pm and during his absence guests arrived bringing their picnics and arranging for the party.
