BELLAIRE.

Last Thursday DR.. Satterthwaite was
driving down the creek and when neal
Martin Schicks his horse took fright at
a passing engine, ran away, upsetting
the buggy and almost completely de.
molishing it. The DR.. was fortunate
enough to be thrown into mud hole
and so escaped serious injury.
Sunday afternoon Col. Baron's fast
horse George, having been removed from
his old quarters, took a notion to go
back and see how they looked, so while
the boy was unhitching him he started
off at a 2:40 pace distancing all COM
petitOrs, winding up in south Bellaire
with wheels, no top to the buggy, and
in fact distracted looking piece of
locomotion. $50 90 will pay the costs.
Yesterday over so boats passed down,
nearly all tows, transporting over
100000 bushels of coal. The river was
frequently almost crowded with boats
and barges and presented very lively
appearance. To-day the water is fall
ing fast with a chance for suspension
of navigation in few days, except for
light draught boats.

ton has been to preserve popular goY-
ernment, and extend its immunities and
privileges to classes denied them while
the Democracy were in power. The
people somehow have the idea thas it
was the Southean wing of the Democrat
ic party that undertook to subvert popu-
lar government in 1861, and lay the
foundation of new government, whose
cornerstone was to be human slavery.
They fail to remember anything said or
done by the Democracy as party to
prevent the execution of that scheme.
They do not forget either, that when the
amendments to the Constitution were
submitted, amendments designed to
make popular government not only more
sure, but more comprehensive, they en-
countered the opposition of the party
which Gen. Ewing said was not fit in
strument of reform. Every measure
devised for the purpose of enforcing
these amendments, and in harmony with
their spirit and purpose, was opposed by
the Democracy, and it is not long since
one of the leading representatives of the
party declared it to be the intention to
wage war upon them till they were all
wiped out of the statute book. But per-
haps Gen. Ewing's idea of popular gov
ernment is something wholly different
from ours. Possibly it includes the the
ory of the supremacy and sovereignty of
States over the National Government,
and the right of armed mObs to control
the ballOt-boXeS and stuff them with
tissue ballots, the National Government
standing helplessly by, not daring to
protect voters, or secure the integrity
of the ballot. 1t must also include the
proposition to issue us much money as
is needed to cheaper it to fifty cents ON
the dollar, to square accounts with cred
itOrs in cheap money. If in doing this
National credit should be dishOnOred,
National contracts violated, and Nation
al pledges broken, still popular govern
ment would be Vindicated. The Repub-
hcans insist that all men shall be equal
before the law; that elections shall be
fair and free; that the people shall have
honest money, and that the integrity Of
the public credit shall not be question
ed. They are unable to see that these
things are incompatible with popular
government, and, in fact, maintain that
they are essential to it. They are not
not likely, therefore, to harmonic with
Gen. Ewing's theories of popular gov
ernment.-Cincinnati Commercial.

the minority would concur with the ac-
ton of the majority there would be no
use in calling a convention and nomi-
mating a ticket if Bellaire would not
support it solid.
Col. Baron stated that he for one
would vote next October as he had voted
now, and thought the U. S. Senatorship
of more Importance than any side issue
A motion to reconsider prevailed and
the resolution was tabled.
Why men of acknowledged ability
will get such wild notions into their
heads we cannot conceive; we are glad
that the commonwealth can so promptly
attest their good judgment when these
embarrassing questions are sprung upon
them.
If the good people of Bellaire would
devote more of their energies and money
to her manufacturing interests instead
of wasting them on paltry county
seat, we think she would be better off

with the construction and raising of the

and efficiently performed, aided by Mr..

knowledge the most efficient service
rendered by that prince of clever fell

a success. And then the ladies, God

A COMMUNICATION in the Cincinnati
Commercial discusses the complexion OF
the next Legislature, and says that it
does not necessarily follow that if the
Republicans carry the State that they
will have majority in the General As
sembly. Taking the vote of last year,
when Barnes had a majority of 9,145,the
State, upon that basis, would have had a
Democratic Legislature,e even with solid
Republican delegation from Hamilton
comfy; therefore, unless members are
gained in other counties, the next Legis-
lature may also be Democratic. He
then gives list of counties which are
sure to elect Republican representatives,
and places the number at forty-seven
OF the Democratic representatives from
counties that are sure there will be for
ty-nine. The doubtful counties are
named as follows: Belmont, Hamilton,
Highland, Lucas, Madison, Noble, Van
Vert and Williams; these counties re-
turn eighteen members. He thinks that
in the above list the Democratic chances
are best in Highland, Lucas and Van
Vert, which will increase the Democrat
ic list to fifty-four. On the other hand,
with full vote and spirited contest,
Hamilton, Erie, Madison, Noble and
Williams counties are generally Repub-
lican, swelling their column to sixty
members. Madison, Noble and Will
liams, however, went Democratic last
year, and if they go the same way this
year there will be tie-57 to 81. If,
however, the Republicans are in good
fighting trim as they claim to be, they
ought to carry these doubtful counties.
They also have chance in Adams and
Ross. Should all these doubtful coun-
ties elect Republicans, the House will
then stand sixty-three Republicans to
fifty-one Democrats. But there is a
large ''if" in the proposition. AS to the
Senate, the writer claims that seventeen
members are sure for the Republicans.
The Democrats have twenty members
reasonably sure. The Sixth, Seventh,
Fourteenth and Thirtieth Districts are
close, and the Republicans by hard work
may carry some of them at least. The
chances of "a Republican Senate he re-
CARDS as good. The Sixth District
(Highland ROss) two years ago gave a
Democratic majority of 352. The Sew
enth adams, Jackson, Pike and. Scioto)
gave 947. The Fourteenth Morgan, part
of Noble and Washington was carried
by the Democrats by 914, and the Thir-
tleth erie Huron, Ottawa and Sandus-
ky) by 459. This was in 1878, however,
when Gov. Bishops plurality was about
$4,000. Last years vote cuts these ma
jorities down considerably. The Sixth
District gave Paige, Democratic candi-
date for Secretary of State, SO2 majori-
ty; the Seventh, Alb; the Fourteenth,
about 800; and the Thirtieth, 15S.
