This was followed by the same ii Ger
man.
Now, we ask any honest, reasonable man, no
matter to what party he belongs, If human de-
pravity can prompt more reprehensible act than
this. They KNEW Mr.. Corwin had been tried
by Locofoco committee upon false charges pre-
fered by Locofoco, and after an unnecessary
delay of several months had been pronounced
blameless. They had this Locofoco report in
full in two Locofoco papers in their possession at
the time when this miserable, lying handful was
issued. No excuse, therefore, can possibly be
urged in extenuation of this offence.
This moral ulcer-Edson B. Olds, is advertised
to address the Democracy of this place next Tues
day. We shall see what kind of reception he
will have. If the Democrats of Meigs consider
him the great embodiment of their principles, we
rejoice that we have never been suspected of Lo-
cofocoism.

To Advertisers.

glance at our columns will show that we
have thrown out great number of advertisements
which have been standing in our columns for
some time. Our reasons for this are various. In
the first place, many of our merchants have sig
nifed their intention to advertise in our columns
as soon as they should receive their Fall supply
of Goods We need the space at present for po-
litical, and other matter; but would feel greatly
obliged to those who intend to advertise, if they
would inform us what amount OF space they will
be likely to occupy that we may make our ar
rangements to accommodate them, without in
frngng upon the rights of subscribers, and make
up any deficiency from abroad.
Our time is so completely occupied that we are
unable to visit each one personally, and we hope
that no one will be offended because we have not
called on him.
Strangers who glance over our columns very
naturally conclude there is very little business
transacted in Pomeroy. We hope to exhibit a
very different state of things in few weeks.
If there is any advertisement now in our col
umns which has been inserted beyond the time
ordered, or which is not now in reality paying
advertisement, we beg to be informed of the fact,
as we wish to insert none such.
In regard to the true interest of business men,
nothing we can offer could contain more truth,
forcibly expressed, than the following, from the
New York Tribune:
"No one will dispute that notoriety is one of
the most important elements of success in buSi-
ness. 1t is through the Press only that this can
be thoroughly attained. Fortunes are accumu-
lated in few years by those who have the intel
lgence and tact to avail themselves of this pow
er, greater than men seeking success through
years of unaided application have hitherto dream
ed of. The vast benefits resulting from system
attic and continuous advertising are only begin
ming to be understood. 1t is not pretended that
all must, as a matter of course, acquire wealth
by such means, but it has been demonstrated that
the merchant who has a well-selected stock and
deals uprightly; the manufacturer whose goods
are as cheap, quality considered, as any in the
market, or the mechanic who is Skillful and pune
tual, may increase his business at pleasure, in
proportion to the energy and means he employs
in gaining publicity. Then why do not all ad-
vertise! Because business men are only begin
ming to realize its Importance. Still the amount
of advertising seen in the columns of the jour
nails has doubled within five years, and will double
again in five more. Those who still hang bacl
will see their younger and more energetic rivali
outstripping them. There is no use in contend.
ing against the spirit of the age. If they won
Jump into the cars and pay their fare, they mus
be left behind to travel on foot"

more such Democratic victory will give the
electoral vote Of Ohio 10 Scott by a very
handsome majority.
Wings Of Meigs county, are you ready
TO contribute your mite toward this result!
A Whig gain of one hundred in each eoun'
.y is al. that will be requiredito secure The
vote of Ohio for Scott. There are eighty
eight counties insthe state, some Of which
will gain far more Than 100 each. We feel
confident ,ha. Meigs county can do her full
share, If she will We believe there are
fifty men in Meigs county who voted the
Democratic State ticket who intend TO vote
for Scott. Let Them do SO, and The victory
is sure.
The Democracy already quake with fear
They are sendiDg out their itineran,s into

ing intelligence tha, Delaware has wheeled
into line again--every county giving a Wing
majority. Last year she wen. agains. us.
She is preparing TO give Scott handsome
majority, which she will do wi,hou, fail.

was so great iha, he-Tetused TO be a candi'
date on the same ticket with Cabel until The
latter pledged himself TO cease in his oppo.
silion 10 Gen. Scott. Cabell, by virtue Of
giving in his adhesion to Scott, is elected tc
Congress, by decreased majority. Not q
doubl is entertained of Florida.
Ohio is the great battle ground. With
Ohio Scott can be elec,ed-without it, he will
probably lack one electoral vole. This is
our calculation. He can ge. The vote o
Ohio. The only thing necessary 10 secure
it, is effort on the part of the Wings. Lei
every Wing in Ohio feel as if the whole
responsibility rested upon himself, and the
work will be accomplished. Let apathy
peryade our ranks, and defeat is certain.

Pennsylvania,

The returns from this state show that the
Democratic candidates are probably elected.
The majority will be about the same as in
Ohio. In 1913, Gov. Johnson, popular
man, was elected by only 297 majority in
October. and in November Gen. Taylor re-.
ceived majority of 1884. Nothing but
a Presidential election will draw out the full
Wing strength of the Keystone State. Gen.
Scott is vastly more popular than was Gen.
Taylor, and, We doubt not, will receive a
handsome majority in Pennsylvania.

The State Election.

In another column, We give the official
abstract Of votes polled in Meigs county al
The recent election. II will be observed lha,
the majority for Sa.e officers is 286. Vim.
TONS majority was 1856. The Wing gain is
therefore about 1870 over lasl year. Gen.
Taylor's majority in l848 was 305; de.
crease since 184S-19 votes. The majority
for Mr.. Welch in this county is 800. All
the Wing candidates for county officers
were elected except Mr.. Stout, for Commits.
sioner. Ills competitor, Mr.. Jacobs, is very
popular among Wings and Democrats, and
in addition TO this was regularly nominated
and supported by the Free Soilers. He is
an excellent msn, and we believe will make
a good officer, Mr.. Stout is highly esteemed,
also, by all who have the honor Of his &C.
quainIance, but lost many votes on account
Of his supposed Free Soil tendencies. The
consistency Of Free Sellers in voting for
Mr.. Jacobs is not quite as apparent 10 us as
some other things we wot of. Mr.. Halliday
received majority of 379-nearIy one hun.
dred more than any other candidate.
The Wing candidates for Assessors were
all eecled-Mr. Downing, in the lst dist;
Mr.. HyselI, in the Cd; Mr.. Fisher, in the
Sd; and Mr. Blain, in the 4Ih.
Thore was considerable excitement al the
polls in This township, principally in the af.
ternoon. In the forenoon, the Democrats
had things pretty much their own way. If
Wing wished 10 vote, he had first 10 hunt
for ticket, and then elbow his way to the
ballot box as best he could. We hope
10 see different state Of things al The Pres
idenIial election.
Rutland township did nobly. Notwith.
