The Coming Esction-A Glance at the
Rival Candidates.
Next Tuesday the nominees on the Dem
ocratic ticket viii battle with those on the
Republican ticket, and vice versa. Here
tofore, since the candidates on both tickets
were assigned he pl.c Jour correspond
ent has held his place, but as the day for
election draws nigh, he feels it necessary to
make 8 few statements regarding both the
tickets now in the field. The REGISTER ID
about the only defender Of Democratic
principles that circulstes largely in Belisire,
therefore il becomes its duty to say some
thing of interest to Its followers. The Re
publican ticket in Belmont county has for
It's head Col. C. l.. Poorman and Hon.
Sam. Hilles. These two men are
desirous Of representing tkeir party
in the next Legislature Mr, Hilles is at
present acting in name, but not in action,
in that capacity. His first term should be
his last. Ills political record has been
motheaten ever since he, with his col.
leagues, conspired and did rob BellAire Of
the Belmont county Court house. He was
elected to his present seat OF honor BY Dem
ociatic votes, and he was given hand
some majority in county equally divided
politically with the understanding that he
would be mentioned on the county seat
question and that he would use his infu-
ence to keep the Court house trouble out
of the Legislature during his term in office.
How well he succeeded may be seen BY the
monument to his memory in the
form Of new county buildings in St.
Clairsville. Mr.. Hilles has net
been equal to a lamp post in that august
body in Columbus, for the light would throw
q halo around it and this Mr.. Hilles has
never done. Without disssctng him
further we leave him 10 the voters Of Bel,
laire to relegate MIN to private lifs
The other candidate for the Legislature,
c. l. Poorman, has long been an asyirant
lor glory, Dui iiSc"...gne always smiled on the
other man. he has been mns.-css thor
ough canvass Of the county since his nonai'
nation, strictly in the interest OF Col. C. l.,
Poormsn. During the past month rumors
have been set ahoat that the Colonel was
trying to form combinations with the Demo
CT ats to catch the whole Of the labor vote
on the river front, and the evidence taken
in this direction by your correspondent is
such rs TO lead to the belief that an under
handed game is being played by the
editor Of the Tribune looking toward the
individual interests of himself His com.
psny on the Republican ticket appears to
be uncopgenial to him, and he never leaves
the latch string on the outside.
We do not attempt to cry down the in
tentions OF the aforesaid editor, for they
may be better than we suppose, bat he has
laid himself open 10 suspicion.
