The Republicans OF this place are mad
as hornets over their defeat III the
County Convention at Martins Ferry.
1t was more than they expected. They
had boosted loudly OF their ability TO de-
feat the wicked Bellaireains, but Col.
Poorman and his crowd captured them
"ioot, horse and Dragons" st. Glars
vile Republicans think they are smart,
and they usually are at trickery, and
they are exceedingly angry that their
tactics failed to win at Martins Ferry.
The Republican county ticket is gen.
erallv pronounced a weak one, except
for Treasurer. With caution and pru
dence on the part of the Democrats, it
will be beaten by large majority in
October.
