Belmont Chronicle. 2sth ult.


The Democratic ,dicial nomination
is attracting great deal of attention at
the hands of the newspapers and poll
ticians of the two counties. The an
nouncement of Judge Chambers candi-
dacy created some CONSERVATION and
much indignation in certain quarters,
and adds greatly to the prevailing con-
fusion. The fact that he bolted tue con-
vention five years ago, weakens him to
some extent with the rock ribbed Dem
ocracy.
The action of the Monroe county
committee on Saturday will further COM
plicate aud embarrass matters. just
what the result Of this struggle will be
no one can certainly predict, but the in
dications are
1. That the Belmont delegates elected
next Saturday will NEE. at Bellaire or
the day designated by the committees
OF the two counties, and, if Monroe re-
fuses to take part, as now threatened,
will make nomination, and,
2. That the conference committee ap-
pointed at Woodsield Saturday will ar
range with the disgruntled Democrats
cf Belmont county to hold another Con.
vention, whereat Judge Okcy will be re,
nominated.
In such contingency Judge Okey will
have greatly the advantage Of his an
tagonist, whoever he may be. In addi.
ton to having at his back the united
support OF his own party in Monroe
county, he will have quite following
among the Democrats Of this county
while the great mass of the Republicans
of this county would not regard his re-
election the greatest calamity that coul1
befall the county. However disagree
able the announcement may be, we can
see nothing but confusion and defeat ir
prospect for our friends in Belmont.

Ey The Bellaire Independent hits the
nail squarely upon the head when it
says:
"There are thousands of Democrats
who will never vote for Chambers under
any circumstances, aud there are many
who remember against him the fact that
he was bolter in 1876"
No man, who acted in the Judicial
Convention ct Barnesville in 1878 as
ROBERT E. CHAMBERS did, is entitled to
the vote Of single Democrat in either
county. He then bolted the Convention,
and afterwards bolted the nomination.

Two bright little boys, aged about
eight and nine years respectively, sons
of W. B Severns and Jacob F. Braniger,
OF Birmingham, were badly scalded one
evening last week, while experimenting
with the power of steam, without a
steam-gauge. They secured an old can,
filed with water, corked it up tightly
and built small fire under the impro-
vised boiler, which soon generated steam
and burst, throwing the hot water over
and badly scalding the lower limbs Of

H GAuMER & Co., who represent

that has any authority to act in Judicial
matters is the Central Committee. In
Belmont 4 regular Committeeman and 6
of the managers in st. ClaiIsville, who
held proxies, adopted the 81 plan for the
election of delegates. That, in their
opinion, was regular and all right. Down
here in Monroe the Central Committee
held a meeting on the 23d ult., at which
there were 10 regular committeeman and
2 proxies, IL in all out oils. Our com
mit,ee resolved that it was inexpedent
to authorize the election or appoint
ment of delegates to the meeting called
