Republicans Of Belmont County

The eyes of the State are upon you.
This is no idle talk. 1t is fact, fully
attested, that few counties in the State
are singled out by the Democracy for
capture, by purchase, bull-doZing, OF
any nefarious means necessary. There
is no doubt of the Democracy, in its des-
peration, importing rOughs and repeat
ers, to overawe and control our election.
Already their presence is known in Bell
aire and elsewhere. Their purpose is
to win in Belmont county, as they won
in Hamilton county two years ago, by
shameless fraud and the grossest vii
lainy. But they are very closely watch
ed-and, it is the bOunden duty of every
Republican, every man, to watch with
sleepless vigilance, every movement of
this kind, and meet it with such resist
less scorn, as will teach the miscreants
that Ohio is not Mississippi, nor is the
right of suffrage in our free old State
reserved for the thugs and blood tubs of
Kentucky and Baltimore.
We know there is not a Republican, or
other fair-minded, honest man in Bel
mont county who would not scorn to
cOuntenance such infamous work as the
prostitution of their manhoOd's right of
suffrage, to any such base use as the
foisting of any man into power at the
sacrifice of an honest election. We ap-
peal to you, Republicans, to stand firm
ly by your guns-run alOft your old,
glorious flag, and beneath it's fold stand
for the right, work diligently till the
election, for the right-loOk after your
careless or Indifferent neighbor; see that
he dares to do right; get out your full
vote; devote one whole day, on the 14th,
to your country. Watch the ballOt-box
preserve its purity, and victory is ours.

DAVID TREMBLY, farmer and bucks
ter residing near Beallsville, was mur.
dered and robbed of 1925 on Tuesday
night of last week near his home. The
murdered man started from home on the
day previous to gather up his load of
marketing for Wheeling. On Tuesday
night her husband not returning Mrs
Trembly, became uneasy and sent hel
boys in search of the father. They had
not gone far, when near Lingo's they
found the team standing-calling to
their father no answer came back; they
then procured a lantern and with some
other persons made examination of the
wagon, when they. found the dead body
of Mr.. Trembly, with a bullet hole
through his head, which had been made
by shot from behind. On Friday, two
men named Peter King Jr. and Edward
| COnley, were arrested at New Martins.
vile, West Va, charged with the crime
and were taken to Beallsville, where they
waived examination and were commit.
ed to the Woodslield Jail to await the
action of the Grand Jury, shortly to as
semble. Great excitement prevails in
the neighborhood where the bloody deed
was committed and some fears were en-
tertained that the infuriated populace
would take the law into their own hands
and make quick work of the supposed
assassins, but happily. wiser cOunsels
prevailed and the law will take its course

Healthy Action.

As tonic to cleanse, tone up and
strengthen the stomach, and remove bile
and acid from the liver, we recommend
the Dandelion and Mandrake Pills (su.
gar coated) to be taken in small doses OF
one or two at bed time, and on rising in
the morning take one, drinking at the
same time one half to glass of water
to remove any gas from the stomach
continuing say for twenty days, eating
light food. This treatment has cured a
great number of chronic cases of consti.
patton, supposed to be incurable. Large
doses of aloes and strong physic is not a
cure but very injurious.

done in very laughahle style. As a
meeting. there were probably 25 Nationals
present, the balance being made up of
Democratic clappers and Republicans,
who went to see the man. In every
sense of the word, he is Il Democrat i'll
disguise, advocating the election of Ew-
ing, with, as he knows. no possibility of
electing anv of his ticket. One man said
to me-"I am going to vote for Foster,
and I'll get more: that id old gopher
can't fool me-" We will welcome Gen.
Sam back, and will only say to him, his
ears will stick out even if he does wear
another animals skin; but still, we like
to hear him bray.
TIE BOAT RACE
I.ast Saturday was very exciting af-
fair, Weisgubber coming in two length S
ahead. About $4,000 people witnessed
the race, and betting was very lively OH
both sides of the river-frOm $1,000 to
$4,000 changed hands. We noticed an
other race Sunday afternoon, but did not
hear the parties or result.

SAM. CARY's meeting at Martins Fer
ry was rather unique and recherche
affair. The redoubtable Sam was in his
usual hilarious state of billingsgate. The
meeting was organized by electing
George Duncan the only Greenbacker
of Bridgeport, Chairman, and Mr.. Ir-
win the only Greenbacker of Martins
Ferry, Secretary. This exhausted the
panel. Thus organized. the General
charged on the Republican party and
the National Banks, and succeeded in
convincing a distinguished Democrat
that he Cary was friend of National
Banks. Where ignorance is bliss It's
folly to be wise"

"a Thing of Beauty is a Joy For
eyer''

Whether it be the magnificent plu-
mage of the bird of Paradise, or a poster
fora Democratic meeting, As speci-
men of the latter the bills for Pendle-
tons meeting at Martins Ferry, bangs
the bugs"
First it says, Fall in! Fall in" We
suppose this refers to the "SOns of
Liberty" or knights of the Golden Cir
cle," for who else could respond to Pen
dleton's roll call.
Then it calls George THE YOnng Eagle
of the West,' but fails to tell us Hayes
plucked the feathers out of the bird
years ago, and if he is a young Eagle, we
respectfully suggest the fowl has wan
dered deal of way from the West.
Then it says, Let every lover of lib
erty, truth and our nations prosperity,
come and hear Ohio's nohlest SON.
Whewl what would that kind of a
crowd be doing at PendletOn meeting? ?
1--WE cherish the Constitution" it says.
You do: when did you get at that? Ger
tainly since your party and the Young
Eagle" aided and abetted treason.
1--WE love freedom" it says. You got
at that, we guess, since the Republican
party struck the Shackles from four
millions of slaves.
I'VE demand free expression of the
people at the ballOt-boX," it declares.
Certainly, if they vote the Democratic
ticket-f not, you demand free eX-
preston" through the shotgun and cart
ridge box.
"The Union must be maintained"
Oh! when did that notion take you?
Surely, since your party sent greeting to
the rebels South.
THE great American Republic must
livew Why, of course it must-but if
it does, it will be rather in defiance of,
than because Pendleten and his party
so wished it.
Finally, this wonderful literary curl
Osity winds up by saying:
VOTE AS You SHOT!
1t will be observed that when the
writer reached this climax, he was so ut
terly astOniShed at himself for asking a
Democrat to "vote as he shot" that he
put all exclamation point at both ends
of his appeal. Well, if the Democratic
party "votes as it shot" the number
of worthy Democrats shot in the back
will be too numerous to mention; be-
sides, as the bill says, "thOse nObleSt
and truest soldiers, Generals Thomas
Ewing and Americus Rice" may expect
a visitation in the rear, as all Union
soldiers received from the Democracy
during the war.

LAST week we inadvertently omitted
to make mention of the Republican
meeting at Belmont on the 18th ult
| Never was there more enthusiastic
demonstration in Goshen township, than
the one which greeted the Republican
candidate for State Senator Hon. d. A
| HollingSwOrth and Judge r. H. Cochran.
A tOrch-light procession with over two
hundred torches, headed by the Barnes
vile Foster Band, paraded the principal
streets. After the parade the NJ. E.
church was filled to overlooking with an
| audience of 700 people, who were ably
entertained by speeches on the political
issues by the gentlemen named. The
addresses bristled with telling points
against the pretenSiOns of the Democra-
cy, and were received with frequent out
bursts of applause. 1t is gratifying to
know that the Republicans of Goshen
are alive to the issues involved in the
present contest. We expect to hear a
good report from them on the 18th.
REPUBLICANS, the enemy are on their
"still hunt" because their deeds are evil,
they love darkness rather than light.
We fear that in the eXuberance of your
Foster boom, you are in danger of over
looking the more important minor Off
ces-the Legislature for instrnce. Leave
Tom Ewing in Fosters hands; he can
successfully manage him, and devote
your attention to Sol HOgue, Abe Lash,
A. H. Mitchell, and the whole ticket.
Foster is all right. See that every vote
is out. Watch the enemy in his tricky
proposals to trade votes; they are al
ready at this; their fuglemen are in
Structed to trade Ewing for the Repre-
sentative. Don't do it; vote every time,
every one of you, for Sol Hogue; let
there be be no barter; if you do you will
be cheated, as you always have been.
Watch the vote as it goes in, that the
unwary are not imposed on. Depend on
it the enemy have their Instructions to
slaughter everything for their Repre-
sentative. Watch them closely, examine
your tickets, and vote the clean, I'M
scratched Republican ticket, and get as
many more as you can, to do the same.
Can we urge you from any stronger rea-
son than your sacred Republican birth
right to be alive to your duty, to see that
its honor and glory are in no wise COM
promised through your Indifference. Up
and at them!

Hon.? JAS. II. COLLINS, of Barnes
vile, is announced to speak at several
points in this county and other places.
We are not altogether certain who the
Hon. Collins is, but suspect that he is
the same individual who was defeated
in Belmont county few years ago by
over 1000, and we believe he has a local
habitation in the neighborhood of
GAINESVILLE. The Republicans have rea-
son to congratulate themselves that the
Hon.? Collins is to take the stump.
