Ihe day for the funeral should
be early appointed SO as to give
the sympathizing community a chance

commerce, the different lodges aud
private societies, etc, a chance to attend

should be invited 20 hold funeral ser
wees; but he had not been able to think
OF any arrangement in this regard.
Some OF the victims had been Cath
ohes, others ProtestanUs, ETC., and con-
slderlng the large number to be buried
1t Would be impossible to bring them to
any church and be wished that the
clergy would take the question of a
cJmrl'-l funeral service into considera-
tl0n and advise the committee. The
day OF the funeral should be OBJ
served as a day of mourning, and
to that effect the public offices,
banks and business places should be
closed and draped in mourning. Mr.
Weiss repeated that he would call q
meeting Of the joint committee, where
all these particulars would be considered,
and the programme for the funeral would
be nade. He also suggests to arrange
with the uudertakers of the city so that
each Of them, if desired, shall be given an
equal number of bodies in charge to

VIM. 3. CASH, the Democratic candi-
date for Clerk of the Courts, is travelling
over the county telling the people how
poor he is, and trying through such ap-
pealS to exact promises of support from
Republicans, He claims to have large
numbers OF Republicans pledged to vote
for him, and in some places he exhibits
lists of names of such Republicans.
Now, we venture that if there has
been dozen such promises made, in the
county, they have been made upon such
false presentations and statements as
Will release any honorable man from Il
promise made under such circumstances.
He pleads poverty; yet he has expend-
ed money enough i'll this campaign to
start any prudent young man i'll busi-
ness and probably double as much as
any other candidate. His expenses will
reach several hundreds, if not mere than
thousand dollars.
He pleads poverty; yet his father is
one of three members of the wealthieSt
manufacturing firm in Bellaire, and
worth thousands Of dollars, and his
mother owns valuable farm in Mead
township.
Mr.. Cash is in no way entitled to the
vote of single Republican in the
county.
Dewitt Danford was soldier-a pri-
vate soldier-at eighteen years of age.
when Mr.. Cash was a baby, scarcely out
of his long clothes, and is greatly the su-
perior of Cash in everything that goes
to entftle him to Republican support.
Republicans throughout the county
should watch Mr.. Cash's methods. They
are peculiar.

THE Washington Sentinel, the nation
al organ of the brewers, devoted a good
deal of editorial space last week to "A
Last Word for Ohio" in which it urges
every brewer, hotel or restaurant keeper"
to capture at least one vote for the good
cause from the enemy" and defeat the
Republican ticket. The election of Hoad-
ly is desired, but the brewers organ insists
that it is "of the utmost Importance that
the next Ohio Legislature should be DEM
ocratic." Just so. 1t is the Legislature
the organized saloon keepers of Ohio are
turning their attention to. Their orders
in Belmont county is TO support Sehreiber
for Senator, and Howard for Representa-

ONE of the flimsy articles with which
the Democrats of Ohio sought to make
material in the present campaign was
the feature of the Russell law. which
taxes clairvoyant and trance mediums
and others who use their 80 called gifts
in meney-making pursuits. Some Dem :
ocratic organs declared it an inter ference
with religion, and claimed that it WAS a
species of persecution which would have
disgraced the dark ages. The Religio-
Philosophical Journal, published in Chi
cago, has investigated this subject, and
devotes about three columns of its space
to very able defense of the law. 1t
shows that the law compsls large num-
Der Of charlatans who are preying upon
the public to pay tax. 1t quotes sew
eral advertisements in which mediums
offer to give scances, cure diseases, find
lost treasures, tell fortunes, etc, and
maintains that as they pursue their av
ocatiens for pecuniary profit they should
not complain of being taxed.

The New York Tribune is interested
enough in the Ohio campaign to observe
that Judge Hoadly's supporters are
hoping now that the Republicans will
be so confident that they will fail to
get their full vote out. On the other
hand, the Democrats will strain every
nerve to bring out all their votes, and
will buy as many more as they can. The
chief scandal of the campaign has been
the charge brought against the Demo-
cratic candidate by Democrats that he
obtained his nomination by corrupt
means. If this be true he is not likely
to be less scrupulous in trying for an
election, and he is man of large
wealth. Second, the huge machine of
the liquor Interest all over the State
will work at hig h pressure for him. The
need to work and watch
until election night.

The Gazette the past Two weeks, un-
der the caption of "Republican Rob
berry of B.luout County Farmers,
over Two Hundred Thousand d Dllars, "
prints lot Of fabricated tables, pre-
tending to substantiate its charge that
the farmers of Belmont county have lost
over 100000 by the revision of the tar
if On WOOL. 1t would have wool grow
erS believe that the difference between
the prices OF wool tins year and last
year was entirely owing 10 the rednc-
tion of the duiy Oa foreign woois. II is
barely possible that the farmers are
about as well posted regarding wool
matters, as the able editor. whose party
is on record for the past twenty-five
years aS the persistent enrmy of prOtec-
ton to the wool industry of the coun-
try, and that they will not be guIled by
the tlimsy sophistry of figures. 1t is
true that while wool is selling readily
now for from SO to 40 cents, the most
of the woods in this county the present
year ha: sold at about 80 cents, against
40 cents last year. But can this be
charged to the tariff legislation OF last
winter? Under the old tariff, there has
been wider difference in prices. as for
instance, in 1878, wool rated at 45 cents,
while the next year. in 1876, farmers
we're glad to realize SO cents. Did the
loss of that year occur because Of aHy
tariff reduction? Every farmer knows
#
year is demagogical, aud that at heart
the politicians who are SO busy in SOW
ing seeds of dissension among them, are
free-traders, and would put wool on the
free list had they the power
The statement of the Gazette that
sheep have decreased in value 81 pei
head, is also untrue, for by reference
to the Pittsburgh markets of CORES
pOndiBg date last year, we find that
sheep are quoted little stronger, if any
difference, than last veal, land instead of d
loss on the price of sheep in this county
of S169.O0O, as figured by the statlstician
of the Gazette, the sheep of this county
are worth Il little more than at the same
time last year.
Another fact-the assessors in this
county who received their instructions
from the Democratic Auditor, who is
now deVoCing his time TO poisoning the
minds of farmers on the wool question
this year, after the tariff act had become
Il law, returned for assessment sheep at
81 81 per head, which the year before
under the old tariff, was returned at
81 92, thus showing that there Was no
appreciable difference in the value of
sheep from the prveiOus year. So much
for the Republican Robbery Of the
Farmers"
