Taylor's Money ,

Is being circulated in Monroe and the
other counties this week II they expect,
as some OF TAYLoR's runners declare, to
buy soldiers votes IN Monroe, very
great mistake has been made. The ar
guments from the stump have satisfied
the soldiers Of this county that TAYLOR,
the Home Guard, as soldier, was a
cheap fraud and that General WARNER
fought at the front and was true sol.
dier.
They will vote for WARNER, the SOL
dier, and against TAYLOR, the Home
Guard and Judge Advocate, on Tues
day, the 18th inst.

in this part of the county are going to
vote for the man that done battle in the
front, Gen. A. j. WARNER, and moi
for the man that acted Judge Advocate
In Ohio and Iudiana. We soldiers who
went to the front and saved the Union
do not want to send man to represent
rs in Congress that favors specia' acts
to pension every mau, woman and child
that had any relation with the late war
IT. D. Taylor voted for everv spe

deserving Government aid.
A SOLDIER.
That answer is to the point. And tn
soldiers OF Monroe county have decided

THE news from Connecticut is cheer
ing. Here is an item from Stamford, in
that State:
"The German voters in Stamford are
all for Cleveland excepting only three or
four. The Republican disaffection is
very heavy, and with all the Republican
talk about Irish Blaine men, there is no
disaffection to be found. We expect to
carry every town. The campaign In
Connecticut is very earnest and lively
The meeting at Bridgeport last night, al
which Col. Fellows and Gov. Waller
spoke, was the largest public meeting
ever held there, and the display in the
procession was the finest l ever saw In
the State. I see no possibility of Con.
necticut failing to 60 for Cleveland ant

exponent Of any party or any principle,
This year be is staying with the Repub-
licans; next year he may be seeking o

cratic party.
II Gen. Warter should meet him in
juint discussion and completely demol-
ish him, which he would do in short
time. be has gained nothing, for be has
beaten no party or principle, but has
besten Col. Poorman who is an uncer'
tain factor in politics and nothing is
gained by beating him.
In addition to the foregoing, Cen
Warner wrote Col Poorman a letter de:
clining his challenge for the reason thai
he was not the opposing candi late, that
the campaign was already arranged and
be could not change it, saying, THAT he
would be glad under different circum
stances TO discuss the tariff question

about ii than Taylor did, for he Tay

unaccountable reason Col. Poorman did
not publish the letter.

BLArNE's campaign Is one Of defense
His failing political fortunes forced him
to "swing around the circle" into Ohio.
The people gathered at railway stations
more to see the man who dealt in the
bonds Of the Little Rock and Fort Smith
Railroad than to hear what te had to
say. His ''swing" failed to add single
vote to his badly demoralized party.

For the third time We PROFOUND the
following questions to the Guernsey

of the Republican candidate for Con-
gress:
"Was j. ID. Taylor, at any time
from 1851 to 1868, engaged In fur
nishing substitutes for price?
"Did J.'D. Taylor, at any time du-
ring the war, furnish money to par
ties engaged In furnishing substi-
tutes, and receive a share OF the
profits?"
A number OF citizens here and in Bel.
mont County would like to gaze upon
the answers to the above queries.

The Ohio Valley Railroad.

The Monroe Gazette and Bellaire
Tribune have been lately assaillng the
o. V Railway Company presumably on
account OF Gen. Warmers connection
with the Company. 1t is an effort 70
drag into politics purely business en-
terprise, in which the people of both par
ties along the line Of the road are inter-
ested. There is not, nor there ought
not to be, any politics In it, and the un-
fair and disreputable method of assail-
ing that enterprise, in an attempt to in.
jure Gen Warner, will react on the bitter
partisan sheets which are engaged IN such
low, dirty work.
These two Taylor organs have been
asserting that the ties now being pur-
chased along the line Of the road were
about to bc. or had been, sold. and that
the Company had bought them so cheap
ly that it would make profit thereby.
These assertions have been expressly
denied by Mr.. Gould, Engineer Of the
! Companv. in card printed 10 the Bell
aire Independent Of the 4th inst, in
which he states that sites are accepted
BY the Company OILY when delivered
along aud near the line Of the road and
above the high water marks Of 1884
He further states that "the prices pait
have been purposely kept sufficiently
high to induce parties formerly shipping
away ties to other railroads to commence
and continue, selling TO the o V. Com
pany The Company has in this way
succeeded in securing substantially all th
tiles delivered along the line of the road
The object is apparent to any one, ex
cept it be small, dishonest politician
that the ties are now being purchased il
order to prevent their outgo to othe
roads from timber territory on which th
Company must depend for its supply
and in order to insure the delivery of
sufficient number OF ties from q some
what limited territory by the time they
should be needed.

SOFT COAL HEATING Sl0IGS.

Previous attempts to improve Soft Coal
Heating Stoves have always embraced the
self. feeding feature, and have invariably
failed, we believe on that account only.
Soft coal ignites at a low temperature, and
is very ipfamable, hence, when tue Sell
Feeding Stoves happened to get put up 70
poor fue. or fall into Inexperienced handsdis-
agreeable results were sure to follow
Because of these natural di dificultes, which
we deem insurmeuntable. We abandon, as
impracticable. the self-feeding feature, as
applied to Soft Coal Stoves, but we 90 not
think it necessarily follows that people
whose necessities or inc'inations invite the
use of soft coal should not be provided with
better stoves to burn it in than nave ever
before been offered them
Rntirely independent Of the self-feeding
attachments, there are many vSluaoie lea
tures of the Modern Hard Coal Base Burner
which with some notifications to adapt them
to the peculiar nature of the fuel are quite
ss valuable for Soft Coal as for Hard Coal
Stoves. but which have never been offered in
Soft Coal Stoves, except combined with the
Impractical Self-Feeding Features.
The buyer Of this Stove will obtai al the
advantages of the most Complete Modern
Hard Coal Base Burner, except the Self
Feeding Attachment.
He will be able to keep up fire to 10
hours, or the usual time that the household

He will be able to warm the floor Of his

He will be able to reduce his expenses fol
