county we pause for breath. Here Ia the
home OF that first Of Ohio statesmen
Private Dalzell. The Private having
shed such lustre on his county in the
legislature, yearns-I think that ex-
presses tito do honor TO his district
and his State In the National House Of
Representatives. Tosay that he hopes
10 add anything TO the splendor Of his
own achievements or 10 the brightness Of
his name, would be 10 say that he fain
would paint the lilly and gid refunded

honor OF numerous letters from Private
Dalzell, and all Of them, without excer.

has made his name a household word not

places, no desire 10 rule ont the many
able men who took service under the
Liberal banner In that year, and it may
be that the same will hold over the river.
Col. Poorman il we'll versel in the liz

ia hardly probable that he is the coming

Politicians here are inclined 10 take
great deal ofslock in DR.. Updegraff; they
say he is determined TO win and "will
use all honorable means" 10 do 1t. In
this event His ample fortune will, at least,
not stand in his way. Il is some consola-

require y small fortune to win in that
district. The canvass can be made for
$1,000 or $500, and whoever IN nonli-
mated as the Republican candidate will
be elected. Mr.. DanfUrd'a last majority
was $3.50. Last fall the district gave
between 500 or 900 majority. The dis
