date for Governor, Lieutenant-Gover-
nor, Treasurer, Comptroller, Attorney
General, two Judges Of the Supreme

everybody likes, will probably have NO
opposition. The present Lieutenant
Governor Mueller declines re-nomi-

are Senators Hart, of. Ravenna, and
Brinsmade, Of Cleveland ARE spoken OF

Treasurer Welsh will be re-nominated
by acclamation, as also Col. Pond, the

Death of Rev. ID. R. Campbell.

Rev. d. R. Campbell, formerly pas
tor of the Second Presbyterian Church,
this city, died at his residence in the
Second Ward yesterday afternoon. He
had been in bad health for some time,
and his recovery was hardly ex-
pected, yet at the same time his loss
will be keenly felt by his family and
friends.
Mr.. Campbell was born in Cross
Creek Village, Washington county.
Pennsylvania, on the Goth day of
March, 1920, SO that he wants less than
a month of being 50 years of age. His
appearance, however, indicated that he
was older than this.
He entered an academy at Florence,
a few miles from his birthplace, in
1887, and in the spring Of 1910 COM
menced his studies at Jefferson College
at Cannonsburg. He graduated here
in 1912, and the next year entered the
Western Theological Seminary at AL
legheny City. Here he remained until
1916, when he graduated, and Was IL
censed to preach the same year.
His first pastoral charge was at Belle
vile, Monroe county, Ohio, where he
remained three years. In the year
1850 he removed to Mt. Prospect, in
the county of his birth, where he re-
manned until 1866. In that year be re-
ceived and accepted a call to the Two
Ridge Meeting House, in this county,
where he lived six years. From there
he removed to St. Clairsville, where he
ministered until 1866. In that year
the Second Presbyterian Church OF
Steu benville invited him to become
their pastor, which invitation he ac-
cepted. For five years he tended faith.
fully to the congregation, when his
rapidly failing health warned him that
he must seek repose from the active
duties of his profession. Accordingly
in June, 1871, he rendered his resigna-
tion (which was most reluctantly &C.
cepted by the congregation.
Consumption, that. dread scourge,
had selected him for its victim, and one
by one the sands of life ran out, until
at last he sank to rest.
AS gentleman, christian, and a
good citizen, Mr.. Campbell won the
respect and love not only of his own
congregation, but of everybody with
whom he came in contact, and will be
missed by ALL [&eu6envilte l. e,cs.

Thus it will be noticed that these er-

was published in the Receipts d Ex'

by the commissioners, draw $50 eact
