ED. CHRoNICLE-If, by the time
this reaches you, the excitement over

few items from this coast, by one of
Belmont County wonderers, you can
just put them in; it will help to fill up.

of the day. In fact we just quit think.

whose chief happiness consists in pre-
dieting atmospheric changes would not

very unnatural occurrence now, we do
not want any for month yet at least,
yet it has not rained since last January.
This may seem little strange to east
ern folks, yet it would soon all come
right in their minds if they were here.
A rain now or at any time through the
summer would do great amount of
damage and no good. That's why
farmers do not want it to come, but
after they get tfis years work wound
up and are ready 10 begin plowing and
planting anew again, then they will
need big rain, and then it Will come
too. 1t rains right down for three or
four days when it gets at it, and it gets
at from two to four times during the
winter. The rest of the time is nice
weather.

ing all the summer without a drop of
rain does really seem singular, but is
true nevertheless. ] know of some

Robbery.
OCTORER 8. 1879.

OCTOBER 8, 1915.
EDITOR CHRONICLE-In due respect
to the many readers of your paper, |
feel called upon to chronicle some of
the facts relative to an occurrence
which took place in this vicinity few
days since.
A professional tramp and practical
house se-breaker, introduced himself to
our community on Tuesday evening,
October 5th, at about O'Clock in the
afternoon, by breaking into the house
of one joseph Overbaugh, of this vi
cinity. After possessing himself with
money and valuables to the amount of
about $50, & partaking of ID good square
meal, prepared from Mrs. Overbaugh's
cream-jar, jelly store, &c, he made his
exit just in time to be seen by Mrs. o.,
who was returning from gathering
fruit few rods from the house. She
gave the alarm. which brought her
husband tn the house, VINO, after sOli-
citing the aid of Mr.. A. c. Ramage,
speedily pursued. After about three
quarters of an hours unsuccessful
search, Mr.. Overbaugh struck a warm
trail, and soon overhauled him about
two miles from the scene of robbery.
Being surprised at the sudden appear
ance of MIR. o., he resOrted to the STRAIT
egy of inquring for labor-but seems to
have been ouIwitted at his own game
| by the ecunning of Mr.. O., who decOyed
him back under the pretext of hiring,
to the house of Mr.. Ramage, less than
quarter of mile from the place OF
robbery. He was also relieved of his
firearms, under the preiext of shoot
ing a snarling cur on their way to the
house of Mr.. Ramage. He was then
kept at the house of Mr.. r. by similar
pretexts, until his arrest could be made,
when he was taken before Squire c. q.
Workman, had Il hearing, was found
guilty, and at last accounts, was on his
way to Jail, under the custody of officer
Wiley. He had in his possession two
pairs of wooden socks, and some other
notions, which we have since learned
we're taken from the house of the wild
ow McFadden, near Marbletown, a
few hours before.
TIE manner of the robbery, and its
being committed in daylight, makes it
one among the bOldest-and we think
great credit is due Mr.. Overbaueh and
Mr.. Ramage, and others, for the ener-
gy and cunning exhibited in bringing
the thief tojustice, and we hope this
may serve to throw light upon other
dark deeds, if any, which he has COM
mitted heretofore. JAY HAWK.

A FIGHT. AGAINST DEMO.
CRATIC MONEY AND
WHISKY.

The election in this county on Tues
day was as warmly contested political
fight. as was ever known. The day
was favorable for large vote and
workers on both sides were active in
bringing it out. Last week in the
river townships some of the Demo
cratic candidates were entertaining
handsomely in the saloons of Martins
ferry, Bellaire and GAINESVILLE, and
planting money to secure especial sup
port, and OH the eve Of election promin-
ent Democrats in Bridgeport were in
venting roorback stories about candi-
dates on the Republican ticket and per-
forming the most servile and corrupt
service to defeat some Of the most faith
full and competent officers. The extra
ordinary effort made brought out a
vote of over 5000.
The Republican vote was larger than
ever before, but the increase, especially
in the Martinsferry precinct, was
largely in favor OF the Democracy.
Pultney, with an Increased vote OF
over $50, fell very little short of her
majority two years ago; Warren stood
like a wall of adamant, true to her Re-
publican colors and Kirkwood, Flush
ing and Colerain covered themselves
all over with glory, rolling up increased
Republican majorities.
We will not attempt to moralize on
the lasting stain which is cast upon the
credit OF the county for giving Bill
Allen majority. 1t is simply proof OF
the fact that the Democratic game OF
arraying the bad and dissatisfied ele-
ments of society against honesty and
good government, in some degree sue
ceeded. So far as the success OF the
candidates reelected on the county
Democratic ticket is concerned, the
verdict Ct the people is in the main, a
tribute to them of the satisfaction given
in the general conduct of their respec-
tive offices and the personal treatment
they have received at their hands.
No other reason can be assigned (and
the returns bear it out, for the defeat
of that sterling and valuable public
servant, VIM. Alexander, than a feel
ing on the part of the people in the
southeastern part Of the county, that
they should be represented in the Board
of Commissioners, consequently Mr..
Potts received very heavy Republi,
can vote in that section. Without
further note or comment we give the
maiorities for Governor and county
ticket: Allen, IA; Cady for Senator,
As; Bundy, Representative, 13; Cleaver,
Representative, 79; Carroll, Probate
Judge, 1S9; Kennon, Prosecutor, 275;
Stamp, Auditor, 46l; Kelly, Treasurer,
1O1; Potts, Commissioner, 147; Carter,
Surveyor, 63; Parkinson, Inf. Director,
6S5.

THE STATE.

The election in Ohio, Tuesday, was
the most severely contested and singu-
lar, as regards the irregularity in vot-
ing, that has been known in any State
these many years. No ordinary basis
of estimate is of any account this year,
as there has been an indeI enhance in
voting that sets all rules Of computation
at defiance. Republican districts; have
gone Democratic, and Democratic dis
tricts have gone Republican. Cary
proved more of dead weight to the
Democratic ticket than was expected,
although very many cut him who
voted for Allen. In districts where
iron-mills, and discontinued working
men abounded, the Democrats gained,
though not so largely as we expected.
On the contrary, in the farming dis
tricts, the Republicans gained heavily.
In the Western Reserve, we did not
do as we'll as we expected, yet in
Hamilton county, there was a com.
plete turnover. 1t ia very evident
that we have the Legislature, a decid-
ed change, and we estimate Hayes
majority at about 5000. Such is the
summary of results the latest figures
gives.
This turn over in Ohio is an event OF
far greater Importance than will, al
first sight, be comprehended. Had
Allen been elected bya small majority,
it would not have been either wonder
full or significant. 1t would have rep.
resented the fact, merely that the De.
mocracy held their own. In their
struggle to retain what they had, they
employed every resource and energy
at their command. Popular prejudice
was pandered TO, and the fears of the
timid were excited. Money was spent
unstintedly, and meetings were held
in rapid succession, the best Democrat
ic speakers being obtained, regardless
of expense. 1t was desperate battle,
made in the full consciousness of its i'm
portance, and with perfect realization
of what defeat meant. Never did des.
perate pirates fight more determinedIy
for their lives than did Allen apd his
crew for the retention of power. But
they have lost.
On the other hand. the Republicans
were determined to bravely and ear.
nestly meet the issue, and fight the
battle to the end. AS against wild in
fiation, they presented the effort to uI-
timately reach the honest redemption
of currency in specie. AS against a
Catholic alliance, the Republicans IA
vored free schools. AS against dishon.
ct bidding of votes, they presented an
honest showing of fprinciples,-andt the
result shows that honesty is the best
policy, in politics as well as business.
1t is, indeed, the old story,-the De-
mocracy cutting away from honest
principles, in the hope of power, and
the Republicans adhering to their SEN
timents, even though defeat at one
lime threatened. The result justified
them, and, at the same time, rewarded
their adherence to the right. -74
