| PlolILulndIl uedflllkI anu Was nelO
bail to answer at court. Since the pris-
oner was admitted to bail the injured
man died, and last night the man who
committed the act, impelled by relent-
less remorse, killed himself. We have
made the most diligent inquiry, but can.
not learn the names of the parties or
further particulars, though We are as
sured that the occurrence is not fic-
ton, but true in all the particulars
stated.
The Council met in extra session, last
night, and the only business Of import
ance transacted was the abolishment Of
the road and wharf funds, which were
converted into the fire fund.
Mrs. VIM. Hall, who was called by the
illness OF her son to Denver, Colorado,
has returned home. Those who know
Mrs. Hall and knew her estimable son,
will sympathize with the lady in her
grief, when it is known that she arrived
after the last sad rites had been per-
formed over her darling.
IL is very necessary that the executive
and other Democrats meet at their club
room, tonight, Saturday. Business
OF great importance will be transacted,
and every Democrat should be present
Is the Republican campaign Who'll
ly dependent for success upon
clap-trap? We are led 10 ask
this question from thousand indica-
tive shadowings, the last Of which is the
TribUle's allusion TO the "single star"
that graced our stand last Wednesday
The editor OF that paper reads in that
innocent star that decked the speakers
stand a "hell-concocted emblem"
Shades OF imagination An emblem
wrought 10y the hands OF some OF our
estimable ladies', who recognized in the
single star the light that led the shep-
herd oilgrims TO the manger OF the Naz-
arene--a star that was supposed TO be
the beacon to lead Democracy to look
up to the dawning light of the East and
the West, the North and the South-a
pretty and significant ornamentation, is
tortured into a diabolical banner
occult and Satanic! How overwhelming
and crushing will this information come
TO the ladies who made that star. Shades
OF Christianity mantle our innocent
workers who thought they were doing
patriotic work in ornamenting our STAGE
Diabolo. Republicans see a portentous
Significance hellish conjuration-in
your decoration! Out with the witches
who created il, Let them be burned.
Out with the birthstone clam Consign
them to the burning pyre! Enlightened
Republicans, aren't you ashamed OF
yourselves.
" Twinkle, twinkle little star
How wonder what you are"
PULTNEY POLITICS.
Our Democratic friends in the differ
ent townships should not forget that
banner is offered by the County Demo
cratic Committee to the township that
makes the largest gains this year
Pultney township is going to win that
banner. Whenever it comes 10 ques-
ton OF majority, look out for old
Pulmey. She's coming 600 majority
strong.
\ score or more of the workmen in
the manufactures here, many of whom
came from the old country, and who
have been Republicans for years, say
that the only reason they will vote for
Foster is because they fear the free
trade tendencies OF Ewing. These
men should remember that Ewing's
free trade views only exist in
the Imagination of the Republicans.
He voted for the amendment to the
Wood bill that was proposed by Mr..
Oliver, the chairman OF the committee
sent from Pittsburgh to represent the
iron, wool and manufacturing interests.
Free trade, as it effects Ohio, has
opposed at every step by General Ewing.
But this is not the point We wanted TO
make. Those who, in the Old World,
suffered from class representation should
remember that Foster leagued and acted
with the Know Nothings, the object of
which party was to prescribe the liber-
ties OF the citizen OF foreign birth and
virtually make him serf-as abject as
those who formerly bowed to the Peer
age of Russia.
Fellow Democrats, don't scratch your
tickets. The ticket in Belmont county
is 80 good that all personal matters
should be overlooked, and general
effort made to make the victory as COM
plete as possible.
G. K. Tracy, manager of the Wheel
ing Telephone Company, was in town
to-day, making arrangements TO run tel
egraph wires into the REGISTER Branch
office The REGISTER is determined to
give to the people of Bellaire all the
news on election night. and any resi-
dent OF Bellaire is invited to avail him
self of the news. As soon as the wires
wing the reports of the election, they
will be bulletined for the information
OF all. If you are interested in the elec-
tiOn, visit the REGISTER headquarters at
the insurance Office of Daniel Theobold,
81 Union street.
We are reliably informed that d. A.
HOllingsworth, Republican candidate
ior State Senator, is trying 10 carry wa
ter on both shoulders on the county
seat question. The RAIDS. will stoop to
conquer.-,N. CiqirsriHe Ga,ctir.
Home Guard Foster, the calico states
man from FostOria, repeated the same
speech at Barnesville that he has deliv-
cred all through the campagn.-N.
CldirSriUc Gazette. This accounts for the
great Ewing boom within the last three
weeks. If 1t was the same speech he
made in Bellaire, We sympathize with
our GAINESVILLE friends. 1t would have
been 10000 votes in the pockets of the
Republicans tohave kept him measuring
calico in Fostoria.
4 large number OF our citizens visited
the Pittsburgh Exposition Wednesday
and Thursday, among whom were:
Misses Ada Clark, Mary Switzerland,
Louie Hahn, Mrs. VIM. Stewart, Mrs.
James Carr, Rev. Tolland, James +.
Trueman and Everett Dorsey. They
report the Exposition as worth seeing
A large crowd will probably 90 on the
Saturday excursion of the G. 4 p. road.
In yesterdays REGISTER, in the Bel
lalre locals, the word every" was twice
transformed into "my' by typograph-
ical error which escaped the vigilance of
the prooi-reader. The information in
spite of which the Tribune announced
the VOORHEES, meeting for Saturday was
I'm Crcry shop window and on cJtry
tongue" and so the writer said, or
would have said, if the printer had per-
mitted him to.
The Wheeling REGISTER with com
mendable enterprise is about to estab-
lish telegraph connection between
Wheeling and Bellaire, and proposes to
furnish the election returns on Tuesday
night TO all who desire to receive them.

A number Of the business men

everything moves right along.-NeU
