THE CONYENTIo

The Union Republican Convention
held I'm st. Clairsville, last Thursday,
was one of the finest Conventions ever
held In the County. 1t was not as large
rs some of our former Conventions, but
1t was attended by the very best meu of
the County, and 1t was one of the most
harmonious and dignified political bod
les 1t has ever been our pleasure to at
tend. The Convention was held in
Welday's Hall, with open doors, and
some of our Democratic friends who
were present had an OPT ortunity of con-
trasting the harmony, order, and dig
nifty which marked its deliberations
with the "noise and confusion Of
Democratic Conventions.
The ticket nominated Is one that no
honorable, honest man can find fault
with, rs it is composed of some of tile
best officers that ever olficiated in Bel
mont County. This may be said with
reference to all the denominations, In
cluding Sheriff, Clerk Of the Court, Re-
corder, Commissioners, and Infirmary
Director, whose faithful and efficient
discharge of duties have received COM
mendation from almost every one who
has had occasion to do business with
them. rte.a
OF the candidate for Auditor, Alexis
Cope, we may say that he Is n young
man of excellent moral character and
well qualified to discharge the duties OF
the office. Early in the war he enlisted
rs private soldier and served faithfully
through the entire. struggle, and was
discharged with the rank of Captain
after the war closed.
The candidates for Sheriff, Clerk ol
the Court, Auditor and Recorder, were
all faithful soldiers during the war, and
their nomination by the Union Repub
llcan party for the principle offices
In the County is conclusive evidence a.
to which party contains the true friends
Of the soldier.

SHOULD Mr.. BinEham be Renofnibsted.
TO ne Editor N the Beipionf Chronicle:
Sir: 1t appears from recent indica-
tions that the Hon. John A. Bingham
will again be. q candidate. before the Con-
gressional Convention Of this District.
At each successive denomination for six
years the gentlemen who attend these
conventions have been assured that, III
they then nominated Mr.. B., he would
not again be candidate, and at each
succeeding convention his name has
been presented as If no such promise
had been made. These fpromiscs, how
gates 10 the convention on Thursday
next, viii give them little notice, but
will be governed, In the selection of a
candidate, by considerations OF differ
ent character. The promises of Mr..
Bingham are matters that can affect only
himself and those to whom lie has made
them. Think, however, Mr.. Editor, there
arereasons why Mr.. Bingham should not
be renominated by that convention, and
with, your permission l will state few
of them.
First. In Government like ours II

eternal. If 1t Is q good thing, pass II
around.
Second. This District is set down by
the politicians of the State as doubtful
in the next election. Whether 1t Is
doubtful or not, will not assume to say,
but, no man who anxiously desires the
success of the Union Republican ticket,
would consider it good policy 10 throw
away two or three hundred votes merely
to satisfy the friends of a candidate, who
never seems to be satisfied himself Mr.
Bingham has been in Congress twelve
years, and in that time, by the appoint
ments made through him, and the cor
respondents neglected oy him, 1t is moi
strange that there should be several
hundred men in the District who are
dissatisfied with him. Thatsuch dissatis
faction has existed, the following statis
tics Of past ELECTIONS will pretty clearly
e,tablislr.

assassination of M.jor Lawrence, at
Russellville, yesterday, was the result of
a deliberate determination on the part of
the Rebels to kill or drive out every
Union man in their midst. He had been
repeatedly threatened by the Ku-Klux-
Kfan. A week ago he received notice
that he was to be killed in less than ten
days. He paid no attention to the warm
ing, and us he was going out of town
yesterday afternoon toserve summons,
the assassin stole upon him and literally
butchered him i'm broad daylight. Capt.

investigate the case, pronounced 1t cool,
premeditated, murder. Union citizens

WE have always refrainod from sayl,

WE have always refrained from saying
anything upon the subject of candidates,
either In the county or District, prior to
the meeting OF conventions. IL has been
the practice ofcertain papers In this Con-
gressional District to devote large share
OF space to articles written In the interest
ofa particular candidate and to find
fault with other papers because they do
not do the same thing. Ifany paper has
the courage to assign any reasons why
their particular candidate should not be
nominated they at once denounce the
editor as IAN Asplrant," and II he pub
fishes anything on the subject from 9TH
ers, they threaten him with "his future
prospects. We are getting tired of this
censorship; this disposition to brow-beat
and denounce, so generally adopted by
the champions of o particular candidate.
II we are to have fair contest, let II he
so understood. II a foul one, let those
who first play foul take the conse-
quences.
We publish elsewhere articles from tho
Guernsey Times and Noble County Re-
publican, and well written article from
a gentleman In the District, who has a
right to be heard, and, VIC ask the dele
gates to the District Convention to read
them, aud when they come to vote on
Thursday next, to vote, not to please the
vanity of "aspirants," ofeither one or OF
twelve years standing. but TO vote for the
interest of the cause we have at heart,
aud for the candidate most likely to give
II success.

On the State ticket the majority was
1920, while Mr.. Bingham had only 1422,
or 1913 less.
Last year the Democrats carried the
District by over 200 majority. If Mr..
Bingham runs 10 better, compared with
his ticket, this year, If nominated, (and
there are several reasons why he will
not run as welD then the Republicans
would have to gain on last years vote,

him as candidate now, and have TO
run some one else next year to fill his
unexpired term. This year, with full

may IL not be otherwise ut a special elec-
ton nexteyear?
There are other reasons which might
be assigned, but they are such as, In the
event of Mr.. Bingham's nomination,
might be used by the enemy, and for
bear to give them. These are reasons,
Mr.. Editor, that think ought to be
we'll considered, and the convention will
do itself, as well as the Republican party
OF the District, o great injustice II II
shall, through desire to accommodate
either Mr.. Bingham or his very warm
personal friends, neglect or refuse to
fully consider them. What the Repub-
lican party wants Is success, and IL Is
not matter OF much importance
whether that success Is secured through
the nomination of Mr.. Bingham, or
through the nomination of some other
one of the numerous, well-qualified, and
equally reliable gentlemen, who have
done good service for tho cause within
the District. FAIR PLAY.
