OUR Republican friends of Belmont
county were considerably ".orn up" at
their Convention at GAINESVILLE, last
Thursday. The delegates from Bellaire
demanded that the old rule allowing four
delegates to each township be changed.
and that the representation be accord
ing to the number OF Republican voters
in each township. This arrangement
would have given Pultney township
twelve votes, but the "Grangers" failed
to see it, whereupon there ensued first.
class Republican row, whibh resulted in
all the Pultney township delegation
withdrawing from the Convention, ex-
cept DR.. Junkins. The Doctor bravely
announced that he was the "loHe star
from Pultney, "the chief among ten
thousand" and the one altogether lovely,
who would not bolt, but would represent
Pultney township IN that Convention or
"bust" 1t is needless to say that the
Doctor "stuck," notwithstanding the en-
treaties of his Acknowledgements, who tried
every means in their power to persuade
him to withdraw.
The Convention nominated VIM. e.
Kinney for Sheriff.
The following lines have suggested
themselves to us, and we give them for
the benefit of those who were not there
to see how it was done:-
Doc. Junkins in convention stood,
Whence all but him had fed;
prrlf q 90 w
And thought TO play "Old Ned"
Yet beautiful and bright he stood,
AS born to rule that storm;
A creature Of heroic blood,
A proud though child-like form.
Bill Tallman cried, "Say, Junkins, say!
Oh will you not be gene;"
His voice was drowned by boisterous
And still the fight went on.
"speak, Junkins," once again he cried,
"It you will now not CO."
Says Junkins, az can't see it yet"
And bravely answe. ed no.
He placed his hand upon his heart
Next to his manly heart,
And says the Lone Star" Pultney man,
VIII not from here depart.
Doc. Junkins where was he?
The "Lone Star" stood upon chair,
And cheered for William G.
In October there will be a crash,
Where will poor Kinney be?
Ask but the Pultney delegates,
And the Democracy.

"WHES Greek meets Creek" &c. So
when lawyer meets lawyer, there comes
a muss. That our lawyers are not afraid
to test their physical as well as their
legal abilities, was demonstrated last
Thursday night in Esq. Drennens led
itor of the Ohio Valley Ne'es) office. A
trial was in progress, and while Cochran,
attorney for defendant, was making his
argument, +. j. A. Drennen, one OF the
attorneys for the plaintiff This brother,
L. j. &. Drennen, being the other), made
an assault upon Cochran, throwing him
back in the corner. During the
efforts of l.. j. y. Drennen and
Others to separate the combatants,
L. j. 9. was struck twice about the head
BY Cochran's brother, who supposed l.
j. G. Drennen was interfering in behalf
of his younger brother. At this juncture
the light was extinguished and the two
legal combattants were separated. Dur
ing the fight Mrs. G. A. Burners, the
plaintiff, was somewhat hurt and very
much alarmed, as was evinced by her
screams The attack of the younger
Drennen on Cochran, from the testimony
of those present, was uncalled for. After
quiet was restored he Drennen, jr,) plead
guilty of disorder and was fined 81 by the
Squire this father. Thursday the two
Drennens and two Cochrans were ar
raigned before Mayor Buckingham on
the charge of disorderly conduct. L. j.
q. Drennen and Thomas Cochran were
discharged, as it appeared the former was
only trying TO quell the fight and the
latter acting IN self defense. Z. j. A.
Drennen and Sam Cochran plead guilty
Cochran was fined 81 and Drennen let
of without fine as he had been fined for
the same offence before
