The spirit of democracy. [volume] (Woodsfield, Ohio) 1844-1994, 1881-08-02

EyThe Democracy OF Monroe Coun.
ty have made three distinct efforts to
have a uniform system adopted for the
selection of delegates, in Belmont and
Monroe, to a Judicial Convention, as
follows:
l. J. B. DRIees, DAVID OKEY and A.
j.. PEARSON went to St. Clairsville and
rtqnested Mr.. GAuMER to call the Cen
trail Committee ogether for a conference.
This he refused to do.
2 j. B. DRlGas, Chairman OF our
Central Committee, addressed Mr.. GAu-
MER, Chairman of the Belmont Commit
tee, a communication In which it was
proposed to elect delegates by townships
in both counties, or nominate by a Pop
ular Vote Convention. Eight days
elapsed, when Mr.. GAUMER notified Mr.
DRIass thrttFS Guild not recede from
| their - s->MGw g
8. NJ aoEFFLra., m. G. ". o,EwARr
and JAMES WlfsoN were appointed a
conference committee to meet like
committee from Belmont County to ar
range for holding Judicial Conven-
tion; but the few managers at st. Glars
vile have treated this action, as they die
our former efforts, with contempt.
Now, is it within the bounds of rea.
son and fair dealing for Monroe Count,
to make further efforts to have an hon.
est election Of delegates to Judicia
Convention held? We think not.
The position of the Democracy o.
Monroe County is impregnable. AL
our efforts to have fair and honorable
plan for the selection Of delegates adopt
ed have been treated with unparalleled
contempt by Mr.. GAuMER, who controls
Ethe Committee In Belmont County. Thu
Democracy of Monroe can not and vii
not crawl upon their bellies to him O.
his unreasonable juggle to deprive then
of even respectful hearing. And the fal
minded Democrats OF Belmont Count,
applaud and heartily approve the actor
taken by the Committee here on the %,
ult. They are as much opposed to ga
rule as we are, and propose, with the IN
finching Democracy of Monroe, t.
make themselves heard in manner tha
cannot be misunderstood by the ga,
rule ring at St. Clairsvlle.

 This is the last week before the great and notable day recognized the world over by an interchange of gifts, the sentiment per yading all classes of society throughout the Christian world One of the first instincts of the human mind is the idea of possession, that something which one can call tsnine. In selecting for friends one is apt to choose something that the friend would particularly desire or appreciate, but perhaps would not feel that they could invest in themselves
 Merchants generally make their best efforts to obtain tempting displays at this season. Among the numerous things offered this year which seem to claim the most attention are articles of personal ornament, the wealthier indulging in diamonds, solitaire earrings and finger rings. Some very creditable sales have been made in this city in the last few weeks. Some of the prettiest pieces in dia- mond and precious stone work are combina- tions of the diamond, ruby and sapphire. Cats eyes are very popular for gentlemen's s wear, or diamonds set flush in hammered gold rings and scarf pins. The new brooches and bracelets spoken of in Madanae Denaor- esfs MGgdziae last month are very much sought for. Enquiries and sales have been made in solid silver tea sets, thing not very frequent during the depression of the last | few years. And the serviceable articles made in Gorhann plate, which have been thought rather expensive to the purse, now meet with ready sale and we understand they find great difficulty in keeping up with theil orders.
