Correspondence OF the Herald.
TERRELL, July %, lss2.-At $3.50 o'clock
on Saturday evening last fire was discov-
cred in small stable in the rear of the
post. office, and despite all efforts to pre-
vent, it spread to tenement standing near
and occupied by colorcd family, and both
houses were speedily consumed. The post
office owed its preservation to the fact that
light rain had been falling for severa |
hours, rendering the sides and roof very
damp, and that no air was stirring at tho
time.
AS the west-bound passenger train was
leaving town on Saturday evening two
horses that were attached to n wagon by
only one trace, became frightened and ran,
overturning the wagon, strewing its con.
tents along the street and breaking one OF
the aXles.
The delegates to tho convention returned
on Saturdays train. The people of the
town and community are we'll pleased with
the action of the convention and will sup.
port the state ticket to man.

JUDICIAL SELECTIONS.

The recent unseemly contest in the Gal.

with the purer idea of the independence of

make the officers of the state supreme and

sentiment and custom istoward the elective
throughout the republic. In ono Of the

Be Ready for Action.

In every good undertaking success
is duty. 1t is absolutely true that
good things seldom come in this
world to those who simply stand and
wait. To do that then is simply to
invite defeat. AT least, it seems to
us that we cannot afford to be caught
mapping. True there are indications
that the fusion combination will
only persue a still hunt, just what
they are doing in this county to-day.
But if they do, the Republicans can
not afford to adopt any such policy.
The time is short. The leaders have
only Just been selected and placed at
the front. There is not time in the
intervening weeks before the election
for such thorough and exhaustive
occupation of the State by mass
meetings, public speaking, torch
light professions and the other vari-
Gus devices which are often useful in
arousing the enthusiasm of the many.
But because our opponents do not
adopt this policy, we must not, on
this account, conclude that the ene-
my is disheartened, nor that they
will abandon the field without con-
test. The one great merit of the old
Democratic party, which Republicans
would do well to initiate, is that no
matter what are the probabilities Of
defeat or success, it always brings out
a full vote. Everywhere each Demo
crat seems to feel that he must do his
duty, whatever his neighbors do or
do not do. And this is just what
every Republican should do. erg
Then, too, if the opposition have,
as it would seem from their action
that they had, abandoned all hopes
of carrying the State and electing

TmR Barnesville Convention yesterday
was very tame and formal affair as com.
pared with its predecessor at St. Clairsville.
|, had been foregone conclusion for some
time past that Dir. Updegrair would be re-
nominated, and the primaries last Saturday
virtually rendered verdict commanding
,he convention to re-nominate him. This
shows, as we interpret it, TINT lie was the
choice Of the party for all other term, al.
though there was wide spread support OF
various local candidates in competition with
him. But underneath these local pre-.
hlences there was strong undertone for
UpdegratI, because the farming people
d the district believed that he had
made them n creditable and efficient rep.
rrscntativc, and because they looked upon
him Us belonging more than any one else
10 their own distinctive class.
Now that the long contest is over, We
hope that all the personal animosities OF
the struggle for the nomination will be
renlitted to the background, and not al.
lowed to figure in the canvass. This the
purity owes toitsclf ii it really seeks succ ess
above personal revenge. 1t is almost i'm.
possible to have astruesle for nomination
without the engenderiny OF personal feel.
ms, but where there is no principle at
sake, and where the feeling has been
purely personal, it should be buried with
the nomination, and all hands should
move forward to battle against the com.
mon foe.
