improvement in business. The boilers

time right along.
The Wheeling REGISTER has opened a
branch office in Bellaire, connected with
the main office by telephone. This ena-
bles the publishers to receive Bellalre
news up to the last minute before going
TO press, and also enables Bellaire 10 re-
ceive foreign news before the paper
brings it. The telephone will probably
be kept pretty busy on the night after
the election. - BelLairs Correspondence

Our candidate for State Senator, John
Conwell, was in town yesterday. Mr..
COnwell is Just recovering from the IN
iuries sustained some weeks ago IN
attempting to board the train at Neil 5
siding. The Republicans are making
strenuous efforts to swamp Mr.. COnwell,
but they will scarcely succeed. Every
voter in the two counties, when he un-
derstands that Mr.. Conwell for years,
though a man of fair wealth, advocated
the Ohio idea and opposed the centrall-
zltiOn of the monied power, and that
his opponent has the reputation OF being
a pet and favOrite of the banking and
money interests OF the country, VIII
give Mr.. Conwell a boom that Will INT
him "high and dry" to Il seat in our
next Senatorial chamber. lie seems
confident of his election, and, Judging
from the mannerin which he is received
in Belmont, we Judge he will go out OF
the county with five hundred votes plu-
rality.
The Tribune comes ut the REGISTER
correspondent, this week, IN terms less
elegant than expressive. 1t says that
"things here are getting desperate
and il has been found necessary to i'm
port from West Virginia a gentleman who
is a genuine mud-slingcr. ~ 1t further
calls hima dirty quibbler." What has
he done to merit such eplthets'
Why should he thus be
deluged with invective from more than
n Pcriclcan pen? All because he ven
tured to tell the truth by stating that
the Tribune, i'm the face OF information IN
my shop window and on my tongue,
stoicallv insisted that Voorhees, would
speak here on Saturday in place OF We'd
nesday. No one is willing to think the
editor of the Trjjme made the announce
ment through ignorance, or that the
wrong date was typographical error;
Were it the first statement OF the kind
no one sooner than "the mud-sllnger
from West Virginia would cloak the
error with charity and vote 1t a
mistake. But it is trick very
common to the Tribune, and We think
a general sentiment will sustain us IN
the assertion. As TO the question OF
specie payments in Bellaire we uttered
a truth, which Is not open to Cayll, that
Thurman and Ewing stated on the
rostrum here that gold could he had on
conditions and that it was not required
OF any bank to pay gold unless 1t chose
to do so, and that they did not keep
any great quantity OF gold on hand, ut
least not enough to redeem the green
back used in the circulation in Bellalre;
Mr.. Tribune calls us "Sang-dlgger,
"West Virginia mud-sllnger. But
don't keep it up, for under the excite
ment of a repetition we might call you Il
"truth-slinger," and then everybody
in Belmont county would come down on
us as a ilatfoOtcd "prevarlCator.
