A MEMBER of the Board of Equaliza-
tion FOR The counties of Belmont and
Harrison will be elected next October.
This is al important position, one in
which all the people OF this county are
peculiarly interested. Our friends over
in Harrison claim that, because their
candidate got out of the way in 1870,
when Mr.. Bingham was nominated for
Congress, they are now of right entitled
to this nomination from that county.
This assumption is exceedingly fallaci-
Gus. During the eight years previous to
1870 that this county had formed part
o. a Congressional district with HaTri-
son, that county had furnished a Re
publican candidate for Congress, and
when the two counties met in Conven-
tion to nominate a candidate for State
Board of Equalization the delegates
from that county very prope:l ly con-
Guided that they ought not to insist
upon the nomination OF Harrison coun-
ty man. Thereupon NJ. B. E. DUNCAN,
of Belmont county, was nominated.
The following year convention of the
two counties nominated a Harrison
county man for the State Senate, and
ever since, that county has furnished the
candidate. 1t is true, Harrison county
conceded the nomination of Belmont
man to the Senate last year; still, the
fact remains, that in conventions of the
two counties, although this is much the
largest county, and in conventions of
which these two counties form but q
part, Harrison has been very fairly treat
ed, and has received more than her full
share of the nominations. AS we have
stated. Belmont is much the largest
county. lu 1876 the Republicans of
Belmont county cast 1876 votes, as
against 1864 Republican votes in Harri-
son. 1t will be seen our vote is very
nearly double that of Harrison. The
grand duplicate of Belmont in 1878 was
$2O,995, ,14G, of Harrison it was $19,O3O,-
800.
1t will be seen from the foregoing
facts that if either county has especial
claims that should be recognized it is
Belmont; but we do not believe there
is anything especially in the proposition.
The main point is to nominate Il bright,
intelligent, active, and honest man-one
who will 0e useful and influential in the
body to which he may be chosen. If
this is done it VIII matter very little
in what part of the district his home
may be.

ed any indisposition to give the required
facts. No one should hesitate mo-
ment to cheerfulIy comply with the re-

are important in arriving at the progress
made by the last decade, and all citizens

ty, especially, has made great headway

The Senate Thursday passed the Ea-

shape, except that it is directed to re-

to the bill, largely because it provides
for commission composed of experts
and "literary fellers," instead of con-
gressional junketers, who, in making
their examination of this all-important
subject, would have their weather eye
continually on some favorite seaside

as they took their places, and the cOnfu-
sion was so great tnat when the Rev.
ChaS. Hall Everett rose TO offer the uSu-
al preliminary praper, Mr.. Hoar had to
make special appeal to the delegates
to secure order. At the close OF the in
vocation the fifth and sixth planks of
the platform were read at the request
of several delegates, and then, on motion
of Mr.. Hale, seconded by Senator Conk-
ling, the first ballot was ordered. The
vote proved surprise, for it gave G ant
lead of 20 votes over Blaine, though
he showed that he lacked just rs votes
of nomination. The vote az announ-
ced, was Grant 304, Blaine 2S4, Sherman
90, Edmunds 34, Washburne 90 and
Window 10. There was applause when
Grants figures were called, but the Ell
thusiasm quickly gave place to anxious
expectancy as the roll was ordered for
the second ballot. The result proved
meaningless, however, Grant only gain
ing one and Blaine only losing two; and
subsequent ballots were equally disap-
pointing.
After the second ballot, when the vote
of West Va. having been announced,
delegate questioned the correctness of
the announcement, and therefore the
roll was called. When the name of
Davis was called an answer was given
in the shape OF vote for Sherman. The
same delegate objected that the person
voting was not Davis, and it turned out
that il was person claiming to be
proxy. Then Davis alternate dye was
called, and he, too, was absent; so the
nayic ynta woa no. rnoniUa6
The chair ruled that nobody, except
the alternate, could answer for dele
gate in his absence.
Ballot after ballot was taken, with no
signs of wavering, either on the Grant
or Blaine lines; but the convention
showed no signs Of wrangling. A little
after o'clock Il motion was made by
Minnesota delegate to take a recess un-
o'clock, but it was promptly rejected
and a similar motion made after the an
