BELMONT COUNTY POLITICS,

From n Republican Standpoint.

crane convention ana 7ne OutlOOR
From n Republican Standpoint.
CINCINNATI, August 15-The CONNER
cial-Gazette in special from st. Clairsville
says:
Twenty years ago the first proposition to
change the county seat was made, and
since that time it has proved a conStan
Source ef trouble. Last year the matter
broke out afresh, but while the Representa-
tive, Wagner, favored the removal, he was
not able to get the Legislature to take ac-
tion on the subject. St. C.airsville is still
The County Seat,
and to the majority of voters the question
of whether candidate is for or against the
removal means much more than whether
he is a Republican or Democrat. On ac-
count Of this, party politics in the county
are sadly mixed, not 10 say oblterated.
Bellaire men will not support st. Clairs
vile candidates, and vice versa. This dis.
lute h done one thing, perhaps. and that
is, to mOnstrate the fact that on some
occasions a Democrat will not even vote
the ID m )Cratic ticket. But 20 an outsider

other faction claim to be aS strong, and that
the matter was then allowed to 20 by de.
fault. Both parties this year will attempt
10 keep out Of the question, but no such
thing as neutrality is possible. Wagner,
the present Democratic Representative,
will probably not be renominated, it being
expected that John d. Howard, who is said
TO have no decided opinion concerning the
removal question, will carry OFT the prize.
Who will be the standard-bearer of the Re-
pub leans is not yet known. But the
Most Bitter Fight
among the Democrats will be for the nomi-
nations OF Auditor and County Clerk, and
this struggle at present amounts to almost
split in the party. Auditor Cofillni, it
appears, has had the regulation two terms

all traditions, to nominate the two lead.
ing ffiCers from not only the same town
ship, but the same precint. The strife be.
tween the two is exceedingly bitter, and
neither will yield an inch. Already more
careful canvass has been made among the
Democratic voters for the nomination than
ever has been made in the county for an
election. Both sides have many adherents.
ard the personal feeling between them will
be sure to injure the successful candidate.

MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK, August l5.-This
has been day of rain at the Park, and
when it rains in the mountains one is dis.
posed to think the sun will never shine
again. So too, on the other hand, when it
shines it is hard TO believe that it will ever
be cloudy and dreary.
1t was fortunate that we had Prof. Cum

most anyrhlng else would have failed TO
draw, but the whole population was out TO
hear him and didn't mind the rain.
About fifteen lots were sold yesterday 10
