the hands of the rebels for year and
six months, and who was seven months

the most enthusiastic ever held in Ohio.
OF the thousand old war prisoners that
were present nine hundred and ninety
nine were uncromprOmising Republi-

approaching election. Every Republi-
can will do his duty.
J. Calvin Gray has been doing some
good work at various Republican meet

A large majority of the young men

vote with the party that tried to destroy
their country.

COUNTING the train loads of people
hauled free from Wheeling, on Wednes-
day, to Bellaire, it Is probable that it
was equal in point of numbers to the
big Blaine boom. No expense and time
and importantly was spared to get every
Democrat to 60, so that there should
have been large crowd, really larger
than what it was, for the exertiOn it
cost. We have only one regret in the
matter, and that is that the Democratic
managers of this county should so in
suit the decent members of their own
party and outrage the feelings of every
patriot, as to give their largest meeting
in honor of man, VIGOROUSLY traitor
to his country, and who spent his time
and energy during the war, in trying to
turn Indiana over to the Confederacy,
in organizing reasonable bands known
as knights of the Golden Circle-whO
figured in plot to release rebel prison
ers at Camp Douglas, and who said that

THE barn of Mr.. John Wells, 1K miles
east of town, was entered on Thursday
night last, and fifteen bushels of wheat
taken therefrom. Shortly after the wheat
was stolen, Mr.Wells' son William heard
some one in the barn among the chickens
and hastened with rifle. When he ar
rived on the scene, he attempted to shoot
one of the thieves but his gun missed
fire. The thief fired upon young Wells
with a revolver, but without effect. The
thieves held fast to the chickens, how
ever, and made good their escape. The
wheat was not missed until the follow
ing morning. Mr.. Wells thinks he
knows who the parties are.

tier of townships-Auditor Cofiand ac-
companied him. 1t is not presumed that
the time Of these tive gentlemen is all
occupied in receiving the ducats from
the people. They have another mission
which is to whoop up the Democrats of
that section, which they are assiduously
engaged in. Auditor Coflland always
keeps up his end of the Democratic tail,

THERE is no doubt of the election O

THERE is no. doubt of the election of
Charles Foster by sweeping majority.
This is the reason why Democrats are so
ready to trade three Foster votes for one
vote for candidates for the Legislature
or county officers. Republicans, don't
be fooled. Make no such trades. The
Democrats have given up the Governor
and State ticket, and are ON a still hunt
for the Legislature. They would rather
have the Legislature, or even one branch
of it, than the Governor.

Republicans,

Better far that Foster be defeated than
that your Legislative ticket should fail.
The enemy are resorting to everything,
fair and unfair to elect their Represent
alive, caring not to slaughter Ewing
and all the rest for Atkinson. Need we

that Sol. Hogue is not defeated through
any apathy or Indifference on your part.
Do your whole duty from now till next
Tuesday evening, and victory is ours.

of butter it said Light colored goods

cents" II butter makers would get the
top price, they should use the Perfected
