Thurman is in sad plight: to throw
Tom off is death to both-to retain him
on his craw will kill him with indiges-
ton.
While our people all preferred a night
meeting for Blaine, at Bellaire, still a
desperate effort will be made by our fac
tories to send down large delegations.
Wasn't it rich joke on poor old Allen
Thurman, as he braved the fates at Mar
tins Ferry. trying to deceive the people
by his silly clatter against Resumption,
three of the extensive manufactures of
that place were paying, or had just paid
off their operatives in gold. Poor Tom
Ewing ought to have been there to tell
his two twenty dollar pieces story
which wouldn't have jingled well with
the clink of the gold in the boys pock-
cts which they prOvOkingly ratified
while Thurman inyeighed against the
success of resumption.
The lines seemed to have fallen to
many in pleasant places, judging from
the number fishing all day Sunday on
the dam.

quirers, we will say Blaine's meeting at
Bellaire Is fixed for the afternoon of
next Friday, and not the evening as
many suppose Excursion trains will
be run on all roads converging toward
Bellaire-as well as those directly con-
nected with it.
A sad accident occurred to Phillip
Reilly, citizen of Wheeling, on Satur-
day evening last As the local freight
which was behind time was passing
down past Burlington, above Martins
Ferry, the engineer saw man on the
track and whistled him off, but soon
thereafter he turned and stumbled back
toward and under the train, receiving IA
tai injuries. Sup't. Thomas ordered
him brought to Bridgeport, where all
was done for him possible. but he died
in about three hours. He was half
brother of Michael Reilley, of Wheeling
unmarried and was Al years old. His
friends were notified of the accident,
and they came over and took charge of
the body-removing it to an undertaken
in Wheeling, whence it was buried. His
right arm and right side of face were
terribly crushed. He was unconscious

THIS community was shocked yester-
day by the announcement, just after
noon, of the sudden death of VIM. Rice,
the town Marshal, and former deputy
Sheriff under the administrations of
Sheriffs Hays, Cochran and Kinney.
Mr.. Rice, at dinner time, had gone from
his own residence to his fathers, Capt.
Rice's, short distance west of his own,
and in company with his fathers family
and in apparent good health, had eaten
hearty dinner. After dinner with his
aged mother, he returned to his own resi-
dence, and at about quarter after one
o'clock, as he was walking across the
floor of the sitting room he sank upon
his knees and then upon his face, and
died instantly. Deceased, while he was
not at all times just to himself, possessed
many good traits of character and had
many warm personal friends, especially
among members of the Bar, who great
ly regret his demise. In his position as
public officer he was polite and ac-
cOmmOdating and we believe that he was
always faithful to the trust imposed in
him. His family who are bereaved have
the sympathy of the entire community.

THE Thurman meeting at Bellaire,
last Saturday, which was expected by
the Democracy to be the largest meeting
ever held in the county, and for which
said the Bellaire Leader of Friday, "The
preparations made for the reception of
Senator Thurman tomorrow are greater
than if he was the President of the Uni
ted States" was one of the saddest fail
ures ever experienced by the Democracy
in this region. The country round and
the city of Wheeling, Martins Ferry
and Bridgeport were bulletined, extra
trains were engaged, three bands-a span
of white horses-an educated hog show
and every arrangement perfected for
an immense crowd. The disgust Of the
"boomers" and blowers can be better
imagined than described, when it was
found that the meeting was just as was
intended, except the crowd which
at a liberal calculation did not exceed
600. Alas, for poor Thurman.

Ewing lamentS and pee die, his sorrows
about the State trying to make the
people believe they are miserable, while
they are really prospecting and content
ed, and yet he salts his harrangues down
everywhere with his crocodile tears
over the misfOrtunes of the country.
One of the most inspiring pageants we
ever witnessed was on SATURDAY. last.
a large number of excursion tickets had
been sent to the office here for the great
Thurman meeting at Bellaire, and of
course it was supposed five or ten thou
sand of the faithful would go down to
hear the hero of the red bandana. Well
the hour came, and so did the train,
when the grand rush was made for the
cars by the vast prOcession-consistin
of two Eastern bummers who availed
themselves of the chance to get on
cheaply.
We are glad to know that the great
Senator Thurman had better luck with
his stomach this trip to Bellaire than
when there before. This is explained
by the heavy weight of Tom Ewing on
his stomach holding it down. Poor

are united, and are working faithfully
to carry off the laurels on the 14th of

ihusiastic. The meeting on last Satur-
