Delegates to Cincinnati.

Pursuant to call the Belmont County
Republican Central Committee, and
quite a number of citizens besides, as
sembled in the office of the Chairman of
the Committee on Saturday. and chose
the following delegates and alternates
to the Cincinnati Republican Conven-
tion, to be held next Wednesday:
Delegates-Hon. L. Danford, NJ. C.
Starbuck, NJ. NJ. Scott, Smith Hirst, Hen
ry Capehart. o. W. Bundy, W. ]. How
ellis, C. L. Poorman.
Alternates-Dr. J. NJ. Todd, J. F. An
derson, S. G. W. Morrison, W. A Hunt,
Nathan Holloway, A. C. Ramage, Bar
nett Taylor, Isaac Holloway, Richard
Miles.
On motion, the delegates were unani-
mously requested to support Hon.Samuel
Knox for Auditor of State. As compa-
ratively few of the delegates were pres
ent, no reliable information as to their
views on the gubernatorial question
was ascertainable. 1t may be said that
while there are personal preferences
among the delegates, they will support
the best and most available man before
the Convention. rsse.sts- D. &
The Committee, after considerable
discussion, decided upon Martins Ferry
as the place for holding the next Repub-
lican County Convention, and author
lied the resident Executive Committee
to fix the date for holding such Conven-
tion.
A very encouraging feature of the
meeting was the large attendance, it be-
ing more generally attended by the
Committee than any similar meeting for
several years. 1t betokens the fact that
this is to be no "off year" with Republi-
cans, but that they are awake to the ne
cessities of the hour.

THE New York Herald, which
throughout all the political row has car
ried level head, points out that the
controversy between Congress and the
President was the result of an "unre-
fecting attempt of the new Democratic
majority to throw the country into pO-
litical convulsions for the mere sake of
creating a new party ISSUE" 1t says,
apropos of the veto: "The defeat and
humiliation which have overtaken these
unscrupulous agitatOrs are richly merit
ed. They will carry none of their meas
ures, and they dare not withhold the ap-
propriations."

THE Republicans of Delaware county
have resolved to press the name of Capt.
Amos Glover, formerly of this county,
for the Republican nomination for
Treasurer of State. The Republicans
of Belmont heartily second that move,
for there is no man in Ohio more capa.
BILE and deserving of the nomination.
He was at one time Treasurer of this
county, and no more popular and eff
cient officer ever held the position. AT
terwards he was Cashier of the State
Treasury under Isaac Welsh, and dis
charged the duties of that position to
the entire satisfaction of the people of
the State. He was gallant soldier of
the old 18th Ohio, always at the post of
duty. The Republicans of Ohio can Sc
lect no more true and honest man than
Capt. Amos Glover, of Delaware, for
their candidate for State Treasurer. Let
it be so recorded at Cincinnati next
Wednesday.

Z CROP REPORTS from over one hundred
points in Iowa show an increased acre
age Of wheat and corn and that both of
these crops are in excellent condition.
The season has been dry, which has ena-
bled farmers to plow lands that were
not tillable in a wet season. In few
localities the drought has done some
damage, but, as rule, the recent rains
came in time to leave the crops in good
condition. Oats and hay will fall short
of the yield of last year owing to de-
creased acreage of oats sOwn and the
dry season. Other crops promise good
yield.

OHIO REPUBLICANS.
Voices Of the Delegations Ia the
Republican State Convention.
From O. 8. journal, Monday. ]

From @. 8. journal, Monday.
The Republicans in many counties
throughout the State held conventions
Saturday, or Friday, for the purpose of
appointing delegates to the State Con-
vention at Cincinnati next week (Wed-
nesday). Nearly every county refused
to instruct as to candidates, not so much
for the purpose of fighting shy" proba-
bly,, as with determination to go unfet-
tered, for the purpose of being ready,
able and willing to fully indorse any
candidates declared nominated by the
Convention.
Franklin county did not instruct, but
probably sends voice for Taft; Nash
for Attorney General, solid.
Cuyahoga would first like Sherman
Taft next.
MuskiRgum wants Sherman first, then
Foster, Taft third.
Meigs will doubtless like Horton, but
will go red-hot for the nominee. No in
structions.
Knox goes uninstructed, but favoring
Foster.
Licking endorses the Administration,
Secretary Sherman, the recent vetoes,
does not instruct for Governor-but
strong for Babbitt, for Auditor.
Lucas goes uninstructed, though pro-
nounced for Taft. Kumler will come
in for Lieutenant, and Jones will have
some showing for Auditor.
Sandusky instructs for Foster, will
support any nominee, endorses the Ad-
ministration.
Stark favors, but did not instruct for,
Sherman, and will take gracefully the
man and men named by the Convention.
Richland passed streng resolutions en-
dorsing the Administration and Secre-
tary Sherman's financial work, but did
not instruct ON the Governor
Clark delegation will be divided, sew
eral for Taft, and are uninstructed. Solid
for Oglevee for Auditor, and endorse
with enthusi asm the course of President
Hayes and the Republicans in Congress
in their opposition to the political legis-
latiOn attempted by the Democracy.
Preble is uninstructed, but prefers
Sherman.
Ross booms with enthusiasm for the
course of the President and the Repub-
licans in Congress; delegation not in
structed, but counted solid for Taft.
