Guiteau Wants to Get Married.

Guiteau, the assassin, had an interview
with Mr.. BAyley, al Assistant Distric,
Attorney, at the prisoners request, but
it appeared that he had asked it only
for an opportunity to talk. He appeared
to be in excellent spirits and inclined 10
joke, and having spruced himself up he
remarked that he would like to get mar
ricd, and wondered where there we're
any ladies who would accept his address
seq. Mr.. Blylev asked what kind of q
girl he would like 10 have, and Guiteau
answered that the lady must be Chris
tian lady of wealth and of a ftst-class
family.
What little apprehension the autbori-
ties feel regarding possible attack on
the Jail is on account OF statements that
bodies Of men have been formed in 9TH
er cities for the purpose Of lynehing
Guiteau. They do not seem to expect
any such movement 10 come from among
the citizens Of Washington.
Dstrict Attorney Corkhl| received o
letter from Guiteau las, night, in which
the assassin expresses uneasiness at bis
situation. He says that the Warden is
friendly. but that the Warden has conf.
dence in the guards, and ne (Guiteau
has not. Says be: While the Presi

Campaign Coupons.

Some of the Republican papers ask
Why john WESLEY BooKwALrER Is the
workingman's friend. We kindly give
them the reasons:
He is to-day workingman. He has
been all his life. From q farmers son
in Indiana, to the day he was the boyish
maker of the largest telescope 10 Amer
ica, to the day he run his fathers saw
mill, to the day, by his own inventive
genus, he provided his father with 9
dourishing grist mill, to the day be dis
covered the transmission of power to q
distance by rope, to the day be began
to build up the business and to improve
the turbine water wheel of LEFfEL & Co.,
be was q working.man. Ever since be
mas been working-man
He has helped build up the industrial
interests of the country by inventing
and perfecting valuable manufactures,
and giving employment to thousands oil
workingmen.
He has always been their friend, doing
many noble deeds Of private charity and
timely assistance, as many men in Spring.
field can eloqueutly testify.
He has ever granted regular pay to bis
men when sick.
He never made reduction OF wages
in bis shops.
A strike never occurred In bis shops.
In the panic of 1878, he said that the
workingmen eventually bore all the bur-
den OF the panic, and he proposed to
help them. and he increased wages in his
shops from 10 to 20 per cent.
In 1880, when workingmen OF Ohio
were being UNANIMOUSLY and shamelessly
frightened and bull dozed, he called hi:
men together and said: "Fellow-work
iDgmen-I employ you because you arr
intelligent workingmen, fully earn you
wages anu make me fair profit. As
think you have the intelligence to make
skilled mechanics, so I think yoa have
| to make skilled voters. As trust il
your honor and conscientiousness as me
chauics, so do as voters. You are 81
free born as any 10 the land. You ar
as much interested In the welfare Of lh,
country as I. I ehall vote the Demo
cratic ticket. You vote as you please
After the election, Whatever lite result,
shall hold the same esteem for you, ant
employ you at the same wages"
He made every dollar by honest, le
gitimate business. No banks, no mo
nopolies, no railroads, no syndicates, NJ
wealthy friends aided him. All thst b
has OF wealth, fame, education, trave
and culture, he won by his own hand
and brains, In clean, clear, open, hon
!. est manner. His life is a noble exam
pie to the tolling masses OF Ohio.

pable Misrepresentation Is found in the
following extract from an editorial in
the Delaware Herald Of last week:
"Tbe ticket is one OF the most worthy

most earnest support OF every Democrat

tvidual effort, when prompted BY virtue
and industry. Every step OF the way
from poverty and obscurity to wealth
and eminence, has been marked by those
sterling qualities which commend them
selves to the virtuous and good, and
which exemplify the beauty aud gener-
osity OF our system Of government His
life has been one Of labor. sacrifice, aspi.
ration and success, and it is most fit that
this man should be elevated to the place.

support, not only Of the Democracy,
but Of the people Of this county"

have so eagerly given currency to the
libel, make the proper acknowledgment

and fearless, but consistent advocate ol

The Judicial Situation.

The Republicans of this Judicial sub
division will hold meeting at Bellaire
on the 18th inst. to decide whether or
not it is advisable to nominate candi-
date for Common Pleas Judge.
They hold the key to the situation,
and should consider it carefully before
taking any decisive steps.
Their action on the 18th inst, will de-
eide which, Judge. OKEY or SwANEY,
[neither the nominee OF any party, is to
be Judge for the ensuing tern OF 1--WE
years from next February.
With only those two in the race, Judge
OKEY would receive a majority of the
votes in both counties, and be elected.
Between either and Republican, party
lines would be drawn and the latteI
