The local correspondent Of the REGIS
TER is somewhat surprised that the Re-
publicans of this city should appoint
man on their executive committee VINO
has heretofore been regarded as DEM
ocrat The young innocent VIII dlsco'-
er before the pending campaign Is over
q large number of heretofore Democrats
working with the Republicans for the
election OF Foster.-Tiibtme. 1t was
not the correspondent who was sur
prised, but some of the staunch-never-
scratch Republicans who made the OBJ
lection. As TO the last discovery, We
DEFY the editor TO point out any hereto
fore Democrat, except crack-brained
shoemaker. who will desert the cause OF
Democracy this tall.
The article published in these locals
some days since, taken from the BEL
laire correspondent of the Ohio Sdte
Journal. in reference TO the German vote
OF this city, was without any iounda-
ton whatever. The best Germans IN
II e city who are Democrats are lndlg-
nant at the charge, and assert freely
that il is lie from beginning to end.
Instead of but two of them voting Tor
Ewing. il had better be put that only a
very few will vote for Foster. Our Ger
man friends as class were never better
pleased with State ticket than now,
and Bellaire will do her duty
this fall for Democracy, if the Ger
man vote will influence it. How
the item appeared seems to be
a mystery. although we have no doubt
but that the irresponsible scribbler who
wrote it managed to get it published.
DR.. Junkins has been attending Mrs.
Thomas McCafirey, who was sun-struck,
Yesterday. She is improving.
There was quite little stir in town,
Thursday night, over little fire at the
water station of b. b. 30. X. r. depot
The fire caught from defective tiue,
and although the fire department was
over an hour extinguishing 1t but little
damage was done. Ii is due one COM
panv. however, to say that stone IN
the hose was the cause of that company
not being able To throw water. The loss
was only about $1,000.
As was stated sometime since an
effort was being made to raise funds
to erect a turner hall in this city. Ii
has now taken substantial shape.
Through the interchangeable efforts OF
those directly interested, enough money
! has been raised 10 start the ball IN
motion. 1t is not proposed to build a
very fine hall at this time, but simply
! TO do the best they can under existing
! circumstances. Five or six hundred
! dollars have already been subscribed
| bids were invited and examined, and on
| last Wednesday night the contract OF
| building was given To George Duncan
at $4,000. Thus, with commendabls
enterprise, the parties most interested III
the erection OF the new hall have pushed
it forward to the sticking point.
r. w. Emerson, Republican, and
prospective candidate for Prosecuting
| Attorney Of this county, was IN town
Yesterday. He reports the prospects
| very bright.
The Cincinnati Enquirer cOrrespon-
| dent seems to have treated Bellalre Just
! like the Legislative Committee on New
| Counties and County Affairs did, with
contempt. He may discover this fall
! that this CITY yields an influence in po-
ltical matters. so goes the county,
generally.
There will be meeting at City Hall to-
night to consider the proprlety OF nomi-
mating a County-seat Removal ticket
this fall. The masses OF our people are
opposed to this plan, but there are few
determined men who say they will run
a ticket at all hazards. All OF our peo'
pie are in favor of removal but they dit
fer as To the plan of success. We trust
the wisest counsels will prevail.
