REPUBLICANS!

When the tocsin of war was sound
ed in 1861, announcing an onslaught
on your cherished rights, you well
remember with what alacrity you
forsook everything but your country,
and threw all, even your blood and
treasure on the altar of that country,
and through an ocean of blood her re-
demption from the hand of the spoiler
was secured. We appeal to you, are
the issues of the present hour not CAL
culated to re-animate you with the
same spirit? Are We asking too much
when we beseech you to go again to the
ballot-box, and perpetuate through its
silent influence what you defended and
saved through the bullet? We antici-
pate your answer-we know we do.
The enemy say, "the questions growing
out of the war are obsolete;the issues are
dead ones," and they, with character
istic effrontery ask, "are you never go
ing to let the animosities of the war
die out, and bridge the bloody chasm?"
We answer no; not olong as thesame
enemy, becoming more and more AFRO
giant and insubordinate, continue 90
''bridge the bloody chasm and bury
animosities,'' after the fashion of the
negro massacre at Trenton, Tenn, and
redden the streets of New Orleans and
other places with the blood of the un-
offending-to secure alone the power to
crush out the liberties of the people.
No, Mr.. Democrat! While Klu-klux-
ism, communism, riot and bloodshed
are the cardinal instrumentalities en-
ployed, lacking, as your Cincinnati
Enquirer says, "only a speech from
JEFF. Davis to make the picture COM
plete," will we forget the duty to cry
aloud and spare not. The destinies of
this great country are in the hands of
the Republican party;-those of Bel
mont county are specially coufided to
your keeping, Republicans, and we
ask you not to be recreant to your
trust. Be valorous as of yore-be self
sacrificing as of old, be vigilant es
when victory crowned your efforts, be
honest and true to yourselves, your
principles, your party and your friends,
and come out and vote, and see that
everything you can do to secure sue
cess ID well done, and your conscience
will approve the act-your better ma
ture will applaud, and all good people
will saw amen!

Vote for Barber for Com
missioner.

For two weeks the Commercial, of
Bellaire, has devoted much of its space
to abuse and misrepresentation of Sher-
iff Cochran. This WAS d surprise to
many who recollected the smiling no.
tices SO generously given the Sheriff
during the few months past. The Sher-
iff had kindly subscribed and paid in
advance, and he sometimes dropped
into the sanctum to ahiie away an
hour in pleasing converse with the
most intellectual, accomplished, and
critical lady in Bellaire. But time
wore on, and the Democratic nominee
for Sheriff met d. w. Leet at the Coun-
ty Convention. Mr.. Leet told Mr..
Barrett eXtravagant stories in regard
to his (Leet's) influence in Bellaire and
Barnesville. If Barrett wanted a good
deputy, and to be elected beyond ques-
ton, Mr.. Leet would be the very man
for deputy, and if promised the depu-
tyship would exert himself to elect
Barrett. The unsophisticated Barrett
at once accepted this proposition, and
thought himself happy in being able to
secure an election and such a splendid
deputy so easily. A promise to give
the bulk of the printing controlled by
the Sheriff, and crossing of the edi.
tors Itching pa.m,' secured the favor
of the City Commercial, of BeIlaire.
Miss Hoover and Mr.. Leet, congenial
pair! now began their dirty work. The
Commercial, which had heretofore be-
|slavered Mr.. Cochran with its disgust
ing praise, was to engage in throwing
dirt-an operation little if any more
damaging to the victim than the be-
slavering process. The 'deputy'-ad-
mirably fitted by nature for such work
and long Injured to it by constant prac-
tice-was to evolve facts from his inner
consciousness, and the editor of the
Commercial, glowing and smiling with
the hope of fat take in Sheriff s print
ing, was to publish Leet's facts. Mr..
Leet set himself to work at once in
this county urging Democrats to work
for success-trade off everything on the
ticket for Barrett; the Sheriff is the
only important officer to be elected.
who cares who is Commissioner and
Recorder?' the Sheriff is the keys
Riley is such gump that he will be
defeated anyhow--he always is-trade
him off for votes for Barrett This is
the style of argument used by the anx-
ious deputy in embryo. To cover up
the little game, Mr.. Leet started the
story that Cochran was trading off the
other candidates on the Republican
ticket. Fortunately for Barrett and
Cochran, Leet and Miss Hoover have
but little influence, and the dirty trade
they proposed and urged so strongly,
is not likely to affect the general result,
but it shows how entirely innocent Mr..
Barrett is of the political proprieties,
and his little knowledge of men, when
he is so easily captured by Mr.. Leet.
The miserable financial, political and
moral condition of the Commercial
may he inferred from its action in this
matter.

THE second-best and the most stri-
king building in Louisville, KY, is
that occupied by the Public Library.
It was paid for by three Gift Concerts,
managed by board headed by ex Gov.
Thomas E. Bramlette. The board is
authorized by the Legislature of the
State to give five of these Concerts.
The fifth takes place in November
next, and the profits, after distributing
81 800, 200 to the ticket-holders, are to
be used in perfecting the Library, and
furnishing the blind of the State with
books in raised letters. This is large
thing for Kentucky. Gov. Bramlette
has given three years to this Library,
and he is making it the best in the
country. Books are bought for this
Library in orders of $4,000 at a time,
and an enormous amount of money
has been paid for paintings, statuary,
and other works of art. The next
drawing in aid of the Library, in which
the capital prize is $25O.00O, takes
place, as we stated, in November next,
positively.

these roads, although there was St T.
ficient levy made and collected to re-
deem the outstanding Indebtedness on
the roads.
Time and ag4 in large amounts o
these bonds have been presented TO the
Commissioners for payment, but there
being no funds, of course payment had
to De refused.
Now, what is the result? A Demo-
cratic contractor, who is known as hay-
ling held about $4,000 Of Warnock
bonds in payment for a large amount
of soap and sandstone, placed upon
the road. when his contract called for
limestone, by his attorney, o. j. Swa-
lney, has applied to the District Court
for writ of nidaddnaus to compel the
Commissioners to levy tax for the
payment of these bonds.
The land owners within the two
mile limit to the Warnock road, have
been levied on for five years, and have
paid a sufficient sum into the treasury
to pay all these bonds. The money
has been in the Treasury. Democratic
officials have misapplird or stolen these
funds, and now Democratic contrac-
tor asks that the people of the county
of Belmont, the whole people, be lev
led upon to relieve him by reason of
Democratic malfeasance in Office.
What say the people of Belmont? Do
you want to be filched of over s12, 900 of
your hard earnings to keep up horde
Iof Democratic suckers at the public
crib? or do you, by your votes, on
Tuesday, want to lend the color of
sanction to the rotten management
which is just now beginning to crop
out in all its hideousness?
Voters of Belmont, on Tuesday you
will endorse or condemn. Quit your
saives like men.

pose large majority of their organiza-

as an illustration of fact of eleven crusa-

attendance at the Martins Ferry Con-
vention last week, every one is a Re-
publican, in sympathy, and not one a

Cast your vote for J. R
Mitchell for Clerk.

REPUBLICANS, look out for raw
head and bloody bone roorbacks in the
Gazette this week. Every thing con-
ceivable to catch a vote will be hatch
ed out. We can only say we pity any
man who is so unfortunate as to credit
any of the muititudinous patches of
stuff set afioat to defeat Rod Mitchell
or Sheriff Cochran. Argument with
such is unnecessary. Come out Repub-
licans, don't listen to the "wiles of the

get every body else to do SO. Elect your
ticket and talk about the Gazette's cock
and bull stories afterwards.

OUR CANDIDATES.

We call attention of every honest
voter of Belmont County to the unex-
eeptionably good ticket presented by
the Republican party in Belmont Co.
We know we but echo the popular
sentiment of the people, regardless Ct
party Civilizations, when we say, in the
person Of ]. r. Mitchell, proverbially
honest and efficient man, full of cour-
Ifesy to all, and abounding i'm spirit OF
friendly accommodation, toward every.
body, his long experience and his per-
sonal and official integrity, he stands a
head and shoulder above his COMPETE
tors, and is worthy the confidence of the
people. ~ u .e4s
In Sheriff Cochran, the people have
an honest, efficient, genial, courteous,
faithful and excellent officer. From
all parts of the county comes but one
opinion of the. man. His intercourse
lis kindly and gentlemanly. He is
'deservedly popular with the masses,
has made splendid Sheriff and de-
serves and we ask for him q triumphant
reelection.
Mr.. Barnes, our soldier candidate for
Recorder, we risk nothing in saying, is
one of the best officers the county has
ever had. We ask a careful scrutiny
of his conduct as Recorder and only de-
mand for him that equal and exact
justice at your hands, voters of the
county, faithful, earnest, honest and
ohliging servant is entitled to.
Our candidate for Commissioner,
VIM. Barber, is man of large business
experience, is well posted on the wants
of the county, and is bold and fearless
in the discharge of any duty entrusted
to him. Just at this juncture in our
financial affairs, it is highly important
that the Board of Commissioners should
be kept thoroughly Republican.
Then in Mr.. Garret we have another
faithful and diligent officer, having
served his country in the hour Of his
country's need, as good soldier, son
of toll and an honest mamie too is
worthy of reelection.
And then no one doubts the honesty
of Mr.. Anderson, our candidate for
Inflrmary Director. Let the people of
the county not forget that there are i'm
mense interests committed to the keep
ing of these Directors, and with Mr..
Anderson's character for probity and
honesty and his large experience, just
now, we know it is to the peoples in
terest, without regard to party, to re-
turn him as Infirmary Director.
Give these men all you hearty and
earnest support.

you will only manifest little of your
old-time zeal and industry. If you go
to the polls and vote, and then each
one evinces only limited interest in
the good cause in seeing to it that your
Republican neighbor is also out you
will have the two-fold proud satisfac-
tion next Tuesday evening, solemn
duty well discharged, and splendid
Republican victory. Will you accept
the boon? We have faith you will.

were divided into bands or detachments, each

Several hundred warriors, under thel cad

undertook to cross this plain. Soon after
starting, they were beset by bands of wild
