Local Political Notes.

The Belmont County Republican
Convention meets at GAINESVILLE next
Thursday. The primary meetings for
the election of delegates, will occur next
Saturday afternoon. Republicans of the
various election districts should see that
these meeting are well attended, and
that delegates are chosen with view to
nominating strong and acceptable
ticket, rather than of promoting the in
terests of aspirants for the places to be
filled.
Some twenty or twenty-five persons
are candidates for Recorder at the hands
of the Republican convention, and still
all of the townships have not been heard
from.
The convention at Barnesville next
week, will nominate candidates for
Sheriff, Clerk, Auditor, Recorder, Com
missioner, and Infirmary Director.
Commissioner Frasher's term ex-
pi~es next Fall. The Republicans should
nominate some man living on the Ma
blOndl ROdO, ana IN Cne western part. OF
the county. Mr.. Frasher has charge of
that road, and the other two Commits
sioners both live in the eastern part of
the county.
The Republicans have fair fighting
chance in Belmont county this year, if
they nominate a county ticket which
will commend itself to the good sense of
the voters. Otherwise, the battle is lost
before it is begun.
Belmont chronicle. [volume] (St. Clairsville, Ohio) 1855-1973, 1880-07-22

The county, it will be observed, has
increased a fraction over 2o per cent.
The heaviest increase is i'll Pease town
ship-76% per cent. Next comes Pult-
ney, with Sc per cent. A few of the rural
townships exhibit a surprising increase
of population, as, for instance, Wash
ington. We believe, however, a cenSid-
cradle part of this can be accounted for
because of the fact that the enumeration
was more thoroughly taken this year
than ten years ago, and that there is not
in every instance the increase of popu-
lation that would appear from the
above figures.
Pease is destined to be the great
township of this county. If any one
doubts this proposition, let him study
the above figures, and then consider the
impetus she will receive from the coal
and iron industries which the Tusca-
rawas Valley railway will cause to be
opened up within her borders within a
very few years, and the further and very
important facts that good, substantial
wagon roads lead into her from the
wealthiest part of the county, and that
surrounding her towns is an agricultu-
raj country of unsurpassed fertility.

Letter Of Acceptance
FROM GENERAL ARTHUR.
A Ringing View of Republican
Principies-Specie Resumption
The Currency and the Tariff
Danger 10 the Nation from the
Democratic Party.
New YORK, July Is, 1850.

DEAR SIR: l accept the position as
signed me by the great party whose &C
ton you announce. This acceptance
implies an approval of the principles de-
clared by the Convention, but recent
usage permits me to add some express
sion of my own views.
The right and duty to secure honesty
and order in popular elections is mat
ter so vital that it must stand in the
front. The authority of the national
government to preserve from fraud and
force the elections at which its own Off
! GERS are chosen is a chief point on which
the two parties are plainly and intensely
opposed. The acts of Congress for ten
years have, il New York and elsewhere,
done much to curb the violence and
wrong to which the ballot and count
have been again and again subjected,
sometimes despoiling great cities, some
times sitting the voice of a whole State,
often seating not only in Congress, but
on the bench, and in the Legislatures
numbers of men never chosen by the
people.
The Democratic party, since gaining
possession of the two houses of Con-
gress, has made these just laws the OBJ
;. of bitter, ceaseless assault, and, de-
spite all resistance, has hedged them
with restrictions cunningly cOntrived to
battle and paralyZe them. This aggres-
sive majority boldly attempted to extort
from the Executive his approval of va
rious enactments destructive of these
election laws by revolutionary threats
that constitutional exercise of the We
to power would be punished by with
holding appropriations necessary to car
ry on the government. And these
threats were actually carried out by re-
fusing needed appropriations, and by
forcing an extra session of Congress,
lasting for months, and resulting in con-
cessions to this usurping demand which
are likely in many States to subject the
majority to the lawless will of a minor
ity. Ominous signs of public disappro-
val alone subdued this arrogant power
into sullen surrender for the time be-
ing of part of its demands.
The Republican party has strongly ap-
proved the stern refusal of its repreSen- |
tatives to suffer the overthrow of stat
utes believed to be salutary and just. 1t |
has always insisted, and now insists, |
that the government of the United |
States of America is empowered and in
duty bound to efectually protect the
elections denoted by the Constitution as
national. More than this, the Republi-
can party holds, as the cardinal point in
its creed, that the Government should,
by every means known to the Constitu-
tion, protect all American citizens, eve
rywhere, in the full enjoyment of their
civil and political rights. As great part
of its work of reconstruction, the Re-
publican party gave the ballot to the
slave as his right and de-
tense. A large increase in the number

The committee that informed General
I Hancock of his nomination told him his
nomination was made not alone on ac-
count of his military services, but be-
cause when he was in command of a
portion of the Union undergoing the
process of restoration, and while "cloth-
ed with absolute power" he fused it not
to subvert but to sustain the civil laws
and the rights they were established to
protect" Now what transparent hum
buggery that is! If this was their rea-
son for nominating him why in the
name of goodness didn't they do it be-
fore? This Louisiana performance that
they make so much fuss over took place
in 1867. Why didn't they nominate him
in 1888? Why not in 1872? Why not
in 1876? Or why not some time when
the issue was alive and fresh and Gen
eral Hancock could be said to represent
some practical aspect of it? They have
waited until the whole question of re-
construction is disposed of, and now
pretend that his views on that dead
theme have induced them to nominate
him. This is too thin. Why couldn't
they have been frank and told him they
had nominated him because they were
afraid to nominate anybody else, and |
that's the whole of it?-[N. !. Tribune.

An article on Early DAYS of Mormon
iSm," by Frederic G. Mather, is based
chiefly on material derived from eye
witnesses, and may be considered val
liable contribution to the history of re-

scribed by Frederick y Ober Amelia
E. Barr writes of National Music as an
Interpreter Of National Character" and
interweaves many specimens which, be-

able for their pecniarities of rhythm
and melody. Adam and Eve" and stu
dies on the SlumS" are continued, and
there are several short stories, of which
/ MallStonS Youngest" by NJ. II. Gather
wood, is the most original and striking
! The Monthly Gossip is varied and at
ltractive, and there are poems by Edgar
I Fawcett and others.
The August number Of HARPER's
MAGAZINE IS a choice one. Longfel-
low contributes poem on Robert
Burns" which is handsomely illustrated.
The other leading papers are, THE

The fashions are so numerous that eve

quirements, in preparing summer ward
robes for home or the resorts of travel

and mountain dresses, the simplicity of
country dress, or the elaborate toilet of
the watering place belle, can all be mod
eled from the illustrations given in Go

nying them. The literary matter is
rich and varied, containing sparkling
stories and exquisite poetry from the
pens Of such popular writer's as EStelle
Thomson, Christian Reid, James B. Mar
shall, S. Annie Shields, Caroline Merighi,
and others. In every department there
is to be found matter valuable to the
fair sex, for whom the magazine is eS-
pecially intended, and we are sure our
opinion will be endorsed by every read
er of the beautiful number before us.

A rAR1-IAR Statement nrenared at the

A TABULAR statement prepared at the
Treasury Department has just been is
sued which is an instructive contrast of
two periods in the history of the Gov
ernment, Of fifteen years each, one Re
publican, the other Democratic. Be
tween 1865 and 1880 Republican Admin
istrations have paid off S637 100000 of
the National debt, and reduced the an
nual volume of interest by 100000.
Between 1877 and 1861 Democratic Ad-
ministrations added S13,OOO,0OG to the
debt. In 1861 the Government was pay-
ing y per cent on money borrowed for
current expenses; now the four per cent
bonds are at a premium all over the
world. Such showing as this does not
appeal loudly to the hard-fsted yeoman-
~ of the country, in favor of change
in governmental management.

Hon. J. 7. Updegraff, of the 10th Dis

ity that might be called unanimous. We
are glad to know that his services in
Congress were so well appreciated by his
constituency. But few members of that
bedy, inexperienced in Congressional
work, ever attained in the first session
SO high position as did DR.. Updegraff,
for the keenness of perception and the
successful boldness with which he per-
formed duties incumbent upon him. We
look for magnificent vote to be cast for
him this fall. He will beat many lengths
the fastest Democratic. nag that can be
brought against him.

GOVERNOR JEWELL the chairman of
the National Republican Committee is
hard at work organizing the details of
the Republican campaign, which, he
says, is much further advanced than it
was at the same period of 1876. He says
that Senator Conkling intends to take
an active part in the campaign in New
York, and that it, New Jersey and Con-
necticut will surely go Republican.

The Formulation of Belmont County.

The Population of Belmont County.
A careful count of the population
schedules Of the Enumerators ~or Bel
mont county has been made, and the re-
suit viii be found below. 1t will be
noticed that, with the exception of York,
every township in the county has in
creased in population. In York the
population is IS less than it was ten
years ago. The towns and villages OF
the county generally show healthy and
steady increase of population. A few
small villages have lost in population
but, altogether, the showing is one that
must be gratifying to every citizen OF
the county. As rule, the Enumeration:
did their work intelligently, and, We be-
lieve, throughly.

scheme is not one to give investors any
encouragement. He has been rendered
the presidency of the American branch
of De Lesseps' company at salary of
S25,00O per annum, but declines on the
ground that he does not want to lend
his name to an undertaking in which, if
his friends invest, they will probably lose
their money.
