fraud, and All honorable man should
be above it.
The Republicans of Harrison county
do not want to be deceived in regard to
these matters. They want to know eX.
actly what kind of man the man is
whom they are sending to Congress
Now as to DR.. Updegraff they know his
record, that it has been straight Repub-
lican. They know in advance how be
will vote on every political question
that is before the people, or is likely to
come up. They will vote for him be-
cause they know and trust him as Re-
publican. They invite Democrats to
vote for him, and many of them will
vote for him,-nOt through any decep-
ton, because they know what they
can trust him to do.
But all that we ask of Ross Alexander
is that while he is candidate on the
Democratic ticket, that he will be a
Democrat, and stand by his record. and
defend it the best he can, and get all the
votes he can on it. But when he gets
ashamed of his party and ashamed of
his record, let him come out openly and
acknowledge the fact, and join the Re
publican party. and do works meet for
repentance, and serve a reasonable pro-
baton, until every one can see that a
real reformation has set in. Then it
might do for him to think of asking fa-
vorg at the hands of Republicans. Even
then he should be modest about it, in
view of the past CadiZ Republican.

The Duty Of Republicans.

In selecting delegates to the Conven-
VentioR which by such decided major
Ity nominated Mr.. Updegraff for Con-
gress, every member of the Republican
party had an opportunity to express
his preference. 1t was not possible
that all the worthy gentlemen whose
partial friends urged them for congress
ional honOrs should receive a nomina-
tion at the hands of the convention.
That body properly constituted as it
was, proclaimed the choice of the Re-
publican party in the district. From
that time forward, but one duty remain
ed for Republicans, and that was TO bu-
ry factiOnaf Earrings and strifes, and on
the broad ground that all were pure Re-
publicans, elect the nominee of that
Convention. While the friends of other
candidates have right to be disappOint-
ed that the mantle did not fall upon one
of their choice, they have no right to
sulk in their tents, and jeOpardize the
success of the great party to which they
profess allegiance.
Mr.. Updegraff is Republican, who
has always been true to the principles of
the party, active in its support and loyal
to its organization. At time like this
when the necessity of securing every
Republican vote in Congress is impera.
tive, when Democratic ascendency would
be perilous to the welfare of the country,
it seems to us that personal likes and
dislikes should sink for the common
good, and that tue interests of the party
so closely allied with those Of the country
should outweigh everything of a per
sonal nature. Principles and not men,
should be our motto. Let the men
the gallant Republicans OF Belmont
county and the District, who followed
the banner of Garfield to victory. rally
as they have in other days and push
the same old enemy to defeat. The
hosts of free whisky and no Sunday
can be utterly routed, if every man
does his whole duty. Let their defeat
be as complete as their cause is in
iquitous.

EVERY MAN TO HIS POST.

The election in Ohio occurs on next
Tuesday. The issues are well defined
and the lines closely drawn, and it only
remains for Republicans to organize
their columns in solid line of battle for
the grand charge which will win, victo-
ry for right and justice. If every Re-
publican voter will do his duty manful-
ly, a glorious triumph is assured. The
Democratic managers are making des-
perate effort and will resort to every
means fair or foul to win. The Demo
Gratis will have their vote out, for in ad-
dition to the thousands of dollars con-
tributed by the Brewers to debauch and
bribe voters, they have in every election
precinct an abundance of funds, derived
from the same source, with which to Or
ganize and bring their adherents to the
polls. Upon the issues involved. the
popular sentiment of the people of Ohio
is clearly with the Republican party, but
united effort and thorough organization
are required to crystallize that senti-
ment, and make it practical through the
ballot next Tuesday.
A full Republican vote in Belmont
county means a majority in the county
greater than for Governor Foster one
year ago. On the other hand. the stay
ing away from the polls of few Repub-
licans in each election district will en-
danger the success of our ticket, and
jeopardize the equitable principles for
which the party is making such gall
liant fight. There should be no strag-
glers from the Republican column. but
from this time OH until the 10th of Oc-
tober every man should bs at his post
doing duty earnestly and courageously,
and there will be no question as to the
result

REPUBLICANS will bear in mind that
the election occurs next Tuesday, and
every Republican in the county should ar.
range his affairs as so to be present at the
polls. The officers to be elected are not
numerous, nor, with the exception of
members of Congress, of great political
Importance; but. nevertheless, the de-
feat of the Republicans in Ohio this
year will be a misfortune, and will exer-
else an unfavorable influence upon the
country at large. Therefore, we repeat,

LET no friend of Taylor vote against

is to be cut down let the responsibility
rest upon those who cut it down before
and elected Democrats. There are men
among us, we are told, who will do moth
ing for Updegraff, although they did all
they could against Taylor in the prelim-

REPUBLICANS, we appeal to you as
the men who. in times past, stood by
your country in the hour of her sore tri.
al, to again manifest some of your old
time earnestness in the present canvass.
We have an excellent State, ,Congression-
al and County ticket-good men and

defeat. Your only danger is apathy-a
consciousness that all will be well any
how, without your support. Be not de-
luded-the Democracy are spending
money freely-their emissaries are scat
tering it everywhere. We earnestly ap-
peal to you to put on your old battle

In his recent speech at Columbu:

In his recent speech at Columbus,
Ohio, Senator Sherman said.
"The real Importance of the election
this fall is that a House of Representa-
tives will be chosen that for two years
will practically have control of the leg
iSlatiOn of the United States. 1t will
mold your tariff laws, and settle or un-
settle the condition of every man en-
gagged in manufacture. Though its mis-
sion is not likely to be SO important as
some of its predecessors. it will have an
important bearing on vital questions of
public policy and on the next Presiden-
tial election. Whatever may be your
opinions on questions of State policy, |
beg you to remember that the success
of the Republican party has given you
all the great measures and benefits of
the last twenty years, and will secure
you a continuance of good credit, good
money, diversity of industry. protection

TO restore to power in all branches of
the government such Il party as the
Democratic party has proved itself to
be; to vitalize and restore to power the
dangerous elements that exist in the
South, whose defeat is your safety. The
composition that forms and will control

in ample blessings and general sound
policy, we should stand by each other in
the traditions and successes
of the Republican party"
