MARTINS FERRY.

The numerous friends of Joel Hoben
sack Esq, of this place expects to pro-
pose his name as a candidate for sheriff
before the next Democratic county con-
vention. Mr.. II. is well known as a
straight forward, upright honest man
and possesses the qualifications necessary
to make good sheriff. He has never
asked for an office and does not ask for
one now, but il strict adherence to prin-
clplo through periods try that mems souls,
is worthy OF reward by party, Mr.. II. is
certainly entitled to such recognition by
the Democratic party, as he is
one of the few who unflnchingly
stood up for Democracy here when men
were subject to insult and personal VIC
lenoe Tor voting the Democratic ticket.
While there will be names of other
good men before the Convention, we
think few, if any, will be presented more
worthy OF the office.
The concert given Friday evening in
Commercial Hall for the benefit of the

and the performances were highly appre-
ciated. The proceeds amounted TO some
thing over forty dollars.

BRIDGEPORT.
THE excitement of the locos elections
has about subsidized. On the whole, the
town ticket elected is fair one. The
most important local issue was the cleo
ton of uLcIlmen, on account OF the or
dinance districting the town into wards.
The vote seems TO indicate that a ma
ioritv of votes do not desire the division.
There was no political significance one
way or the other in the election. Mr.
McConnaughy who was reelected
Mayor has shown himself firm and de-
cided officer, And that he is sustained By
a majority of the votes.
