Waxing and Waning Of BoOms---l interview
With Blaine 0smocrat---Booming
Democracy.

The Republican boom in Bellaire has
about swallowed itself. The excitement
created by the nomination of James G.
Blaine has taken western trip for its
health and if indications are true will die
Of consumption. 1t came too early, and
the paint which put red color over that
city the evening the news was received of
the Republican nomination, is fading slow
" and will hardly be percepti-
BILE BY the November election. Tha.
pure statesman, Mr.. Blaine, will poll no
larger vote than any other ordinary politi
clan The Irish dissatisfaction with the
Democratic ticket in this city comes from
one or two men who were disappointed in
THEIR QUEST FOR LOCAL OFFICE,
and have taken this course to heal their
trampled feelings. When this trouble is
sifted to the bottom, it will be found that it
is q roundabout way to cut the the throat of
the present Mayor for Probate Judge, and
is an attempt to defeat Marshal Burke for
his second term, which will, without
doubt, be given him. This is the
whole business in nutshell
and will worry itself 20 death Mayor
Cooper is worthy of the nomination given
him and if elected will fill it Just as accep-
tably as he has his present Office. Speak
ing of Marshal Burke, the writer would say
that it will take stronger ring than the
one Organized few weeks ago under the
direction and leadership of Pat Scahll, to
throw him out of his position as marshal
He is a man whom every Democrat can
without moments hesitation cast his bal
lot. Republicans who are for good local
government, can, without much
discover his true worth
as an officer of Bellaire Your representa-
tive had chat with one Of the members of
the
INDEPENDENT IRISH BLAINE
and Logan club to-day. Said he: ave
have twenty voters on our list who have
pledged themselves to bolt the Democratic
ticket and look for endorsements each week
until election. The party that has secured
our votes since the war has never at any
time shown disposition to treat the Irish
in a respectable way, and when one Of US
attempts to get an office we are ehoked of
because of our religion. You can tell
YOUR readers that we mean business, and
will keep up this agitation until We are rec
gnized. 1t is our intention to spread this
feeling, and if successful the Irish will re
Give greater recognition than they have
heretofore, as they are a power in politics
i nd don't you forget it" Continuelng, he
: aid, "0ur club meets in the Knights Of La
or hall every Friday night, ard none bl-
/ IRISH and Irish descent voters will be ad
mitted to the club as members The
writer was very much moved by this son Of
ireland, but after considerable reasoning
with himself came to the con-
ciusion that the Democratic party
will stand this little shake it has received,
and looks for ST. John the Prohibitionist, to
NJURE THE REPrBLICAN VOTE
in this city to the extent of fifty, thus leav-
ing a surplus of thirty for the Democrats,
1t might be well to add right here that the
editor of the Tribune finds himself at pres
ent in very unpleasant condition. He
has been booming the prohibidonists and
supporting the Republican ticket both
at the same time. He never looked
for the stir that ST. John is likely
TO make in this section, and remarks
about the prohibition meeting to be held in
this city in a short time that few men by
q small mistake, can easily injure the tenn
perance cause. 1t is supposed he meantto
say they can easily injure the chance of
Republican success, which is no doubt
fact. Your correspondent will now con-
1inue his talk about the Democrats and
how they are whooping things up in Bel
laire.
THE BOON FOR CLEVELAND
and Hendricks came slow, but sure,
and has planted itself square
" for work. Already four
clubs have been formed in various parts Of
the city, and more are expected The Cen
trail Democratic club was the first started,
and has now about seventy-fve names en-
rolled. The Belmont County Democratic
club has about forty members, and is known
as the escort club When in parade it pre-
sents a very handsome appearance, the
light plug hat with brown ribbon showing
of to much advantage. They were out on
Tuesday evening and spent sew
eral hours with their brother club in
the Second ward, The members OF the
latter mentioned club are a jolly set of
fellows and some of them are clever poll
rcians. The officers are: President, VIM
Galaher; Vice President, John Follen;
Secretary, C. Hoffman, Corresponding Sec.
retay, John Zilch; Treasurer, W. NJ. Dru-
gan. They are all well known Democrats
and are great aid to the party. We hope
its members will Constants increase.
THE TURNOUT on WEDNESDAY
evening to go down to Pinch Run, was
made up Of delegations from each of the
above clubs. To the fife and
drum music they marched to the school
house, below the Belmont coal works After
few remarks from Mayor Cooper aud
Marion Hoffman, editor of the Democrat,
about thirty voters willingly pledged them
selves to stand by the grand old party,
which has been shut out from the control of
the government for the last twenty-four
years, but which has only worked the harder
after each defeat until now it stands on
the threshold of victory with the standard
bearers, Grover Cleveland and Thomas
Hendricks E. B. Kennedy was present
as usual, and in the speech which he made
he showed the Republican party up in the
right light; as party favoring monopolies
fall kinds and one pretending to have the
interest Of the working men at heart. The
speaker held the floor for some time and at
various times received hearty applause.
Before the adjournment Mr.. |. S. Day was
elected president The other officers will
be selected at the next meeting.
