WHAT FRANK LESLIE III. NEWSPAPER
SAYS: A good piano at fair price is one
OF the wants OF the times. An instrument
that is durable, that is substantially made,
and has all those qualities of tone which
make tirst.class piano, can be- had from
the MENDELssoHN PlAN0 Co., 81 East Fit.
tcen'll street, New York, from sl40 TO 1900.
For over thirtyseven years their factory
has been producing pianos, and adopting
every new invention which has proved itself
to be valuable. They can be compared by
an expert with the instruments of the high.
est name and fancy price, aud the result is
surprisingly satisfactory. The Piano is
warranted for five years, and no purchaser
has ever made complaint. From personal
knowledge and critical examination we can
recommend any one to send for catalogue
to the above mentioned manufacturers.

The New England newspapers are
gradually working up to the true signih-
canoe Of the Solid South. The Providence
Or. ~ Journal has the following to say in
regard to'a recent South Carolina incident:
an Aiken, s. c., which is health resort,
there Is q small gathering Of Northern Re-
publicans, who have gone into business
and settled there. Recently they organic.
ed a Garfield and Athur Club, and issued
an address in which they declared that
they had no purpose Of taking part in
local or State politics, but simply desired
to express their belief in and give support
to the national principles Of the Republi'
can party. For this they have been assail'
ed in the severest terms. They are called
radicals and carpet baggers and denied
the name Of Republicans, accused OF SIMS
ter designs, and finally pointed out by
name and devoted to social ostractsm in
thiuly disguised protestations that such
hitherto respectable gentlemen should
have set themselves against Southern
sentiment; and the Aiken Journal and Re
pietp characterizes their conduct in thus
giving expression to their opinions in ma
tional politics as 'unblushing and down
right impudence.' According to the South
Carolina Code, it is impotence to have
an opinion or express it contrary to the
wishes OF the majority"
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1880-08-27
nrool,e County Politics.

There are three sets OF candidates in the
field in Brooke county-viz: Republican,
Greenbackers and Democrats. The can.
didates for Sheriff are W. O. Barclay (Rep.),
Henry Kimberlaud (Greenback,) and
James Cooper (Dem.) For the House Of
Delegates there are G. W. McCord (Rep.),
Joseph Gist (Greenbackl, and Nathaniel
Wells (Dem.) For Prosecuting Attorney,
there are Stephen Brown (Rep.), James
Hervey (Greenback), and Eugene Tarr
(Dem.)
There is considerable dissatisfaction
among the Democracy over one or two Of
their nominations, particularly thesheritf,
and inasmuch as Mr.. Barclay, the Repub-
lican nominee, is popular man, and gen.
orally admitted to be highly capable, trust
worthy and responsible, there is decided
probability that he will be elected. He
was Sheriff years ago, and made an ex-
cellent officer. The people have tried him
and found him the right man in the right
place.
The outcome OF the contest for the
House OF Delegates is more uncertain.
All the candidates are excellent citizens.
They are highly respected by all the PEG.
Pile, and each one has bis friends and sup
porters outside Of party lines Its Diff
cult, therefore, to tell who will be elected
to the Legislature. Old Uncle Nat Wells
acted with the Republicans during the
war, but swung back into his old place in
the Democratic ranks soon afterwards. He
has been vigorous fighter OF the P, W.
& KY. railroad, as regards right Of way,
and will probably not receive the full vote
of his party in the welsburg district.
This may practically reduce the contest to
Uncle Joe. Gist and Mr.. McCord. The
former is Republican.G reenbacker, and
the other a straight Republican.
Its said that the Greenback element,
outside of Wellsburg, has scarcely "a local
habitation or name" anymore, as com.
pared with two years ago, its former COM
post having re.distributed itself between
the old parties. This is still more the case
in the county above-Hancock where the
party is showing no sign in thiscanyass.
Col Ben. Wilson will not receive his
party vote in Brooke this year as things
now look. There is very decided antip.
athy to his candidacy on the part OF
number OF Democrats who will not sup
port him. Just to what extent this will
affect the Congressional result in the
county remains to be seen.

Now that telephones are being multi.

storm Is sometimes quite dangerous, auu
the man with the instrument 70 nus gu
runs the risk OF being plugged on tne
head with a thunderbolt direct from Jove.
M. Charles Hill, the present inspector
here. while formerly engaged in the same
bnsiness in Cincinnati, was one dayBhot
IN the ear by a stroke OF lightning, and
has since been deaf in that organ. This
accident IL likely to occur any day II the
proper precautions are not taken by the
users OF telephones. Every instrument Is
provided with safety plug, which, II ar
ranged when the storm begins, eiectually
cuts the electricity off from the instrl-
ments. The damage doneyesterday was to
instruments which are in the centre long
lines, that have more than the two:end
telephones on them. A boy named VII.
lie Carr, who staSsin the coal office Of
James & Co., was engaged In q telephonic
conversation with man at the float on
the river when the lightning shock came.
A flash Of lightning suddenly burst in or
the instruments and virtually put q stoE

la slight shock, but was more scared thar

knee. The man atthe other end Of thu

rendered insensible for awhile.
