A week has elapsed since the Tri.State
reunion of soldiers met in this city, and
all evidences Of the event have, In a man.
ncr, disappeared from our strepts, and
stoubcnville Is herself again. 1t is now
estimated by many that fully 10000 peo-
pie were in the city on that occasion, and
that at least 100000 found its way into
the Golfers Of our citizens, distributed by
the immense multitude that gathered on
our streets during the memorable event.
1t is a lamentable fact too, that parties
who contributed the least towards making
the reunion a grand success, are the very
ones thatreceived the greatest benefit from
it. The saloon men for instance, who
scarcely did anything in the way Of getting
itup, reapeda rich harvest, their tills be-
ing literally stuffed with Greenbacks and
silver dollars. Tho hotels also received a
large share. M%ossgroye's alone fed over
four thousand people,

ner in which the newspapers OF other
cities speak Of US in connection with the
big show, and it is very gratifying to know
that our hospitality was appreciated by
every body. l notice that some Of the pa.
pers are disposed to misrepresent the
Gazette, Of this city, attributing certain
language 10 the editors OF that paper that
they never made use Of in regard to the
soldiers. Blythe way, the Gazette did its
full share from the very inception OF the
reunion to make tia success, and a great
deal OF credit is due its editors for the un.
firing energy they displayed in working it
up.
The business boom" is beginning 10
manifest itself in our staid old city at last.
The Jefferson Iron Works is full OF orders
and running full time. 1t will require at
least six weeks to fill what orders they
have on hand at present. Both OF our
glass houses are turning out large quanti-
ties of goods, and shippingas fast as made.
Our merchants are buying larger stocks OF
goods this fall than they have for q num-
Der OF years, and business Of oil kinds is
looking up generally. The upper blnSt
furnace is being pushed for all there is
in it, and turning out q good quantity Of
iron, which realizes for the company a very
fair margin. The Alacana Iron Works at
the mouth OF Wills Creek is also in full
operation, with all the orders they can
fill at remunerative prices. A Pittsburgh
Window Glass Company have submitted
q proposition to our city to bring their
works down here and permanently locate,
provided W. can accommodate them with
a temporary loan OF $4,000. The matter
has not been acted upon yetas far as I can
learn.
The political outlook in Ohio is very en-.
~couraging at present, and everything is
working ha~rmoniously. We have a Foster
and Hickenlooper club fully organized in
this city, numbering nearly five hundred
members. 1t Is composed chiefly OF live
energetic young Republicans, with Mr.. ].
]. Gill, Appointment glass manufacturer as
president, and George G. Bright, Esq, a
rising young lawer as secretary. Judge
West OF this State is to address the club
on Monday night, Foster, Judge Taft,
and several other prominent speakers will
make speeches here during the cam.
paign, and old Jefferson can be counted on
for a rousing:: Republican majority in 0c'
tober.
The Ohio Pres, w. R. Allison's new
paper, starts off with every prospect o.
success. Mr.. Allison, although a pro,
nounced Republican, is quite popular
with all parties here, and the people gen,
orally are giving him q large share oftheil
patronage as evidenced by his advertising
columns. He says he has come TO stay,
