MIR. MEEK'S CANDIDACY.
Is He Fit Man to Represent Ohio County
In the Legislature?

Is He Fit Man to Represent Ohio County
In the Legislature?
10 he Editor Of he Register:
SIR:-In speech at a meeting at the
Capitol rink few weeks ago, w. 5.
Meek, a candidate for member of the
House of Delegates, used the following
language in reference to Il gentleman who
had seen proper to sever his connection
with the Printers Union:
1--WE feel that We have 4 right to de-
maDd the punishment of the man who
went ba.E on the Union and itsprinciples,
and, raising his hands to Heaven with
Gods help, we will punish him"
Mr. Meek has found it very necessary
to explain the above utterance to his Re
publican friends. To several Main street
business men lie has stated that he meant
only that the offending individual should
be expelled from the Union. This is, in
my opinion, very lame attempt upon
the part of Meek to rid himself Of the
odiuln arising from his conspicuous sacri-
lege that has chung to him ever since that
memorable meeting. 1t is ridiCulOnSly
lame, because the person alluded TO had
been expelled from the Union more than
week previous to the utterance OF
Meek's anathema. Besides it would
scarcely require the assistance of Al
mighty God to pass simple resolu-
ton of expulsion.
To workingmen who have expressed the
fear that the speech would injure his chan
ces of election, Meek has confidently as
serted that his threat to punish would
gain for him hundreds of votes.
Does Mr.. Meek so far mistake the intel
ligence and humanity of the wOrkingmen
as to imagine they will endorse his worse
than communistic utterances? l can as
sure him that all the best elements of So
ciety, whether they be workingmen or
business men, will to-day rebuke his
horrible sentiments. If he meant less
than what he said, he has failed to con-
vince me of it. Business.

Janauschek's Farewell Season.

The lovers of tragedy will have an en-
yiable opportunity to indulge themselves
on Tuesday of next week, the 9th, at the
Opera House, when that queen of tragedy,
Madame Janauschek, will begin her fare
we'll engagement She is well versed in
everything that makes the eminent actress,
and leaves no one in doubt why she is
voted the greatest tragedienne in the
world. She has 4 voice with which she can
thrill and electrify, and then again in its
pleading tones of anguish she wins from
the stoutest heart tears of sympathy. She
lives her parts and draws from nature the
best types to personate This enables her
to captivate and hold her audiences SPELL
bound. 1t is indeed impossible to convey
to the reader an idea of Janausebek' power
of throwing the soul into her eyes and re-
fiecting by her wonderful facial expression
all the intense emotions of her heart. Her
acting is the acme of art and she is unap-
proachable. Janauschek viii be supported
by the three leading actors, George ID.

To Judge Brannou's LIberality to the

To ne Editor Of The Register:
SIR:-COuld you remind your readers
and Catholic citizens of John Brannon's
generosity to the church at Weston. his
protection ofFather Stacks farm, which
aiterward came into the hands of the or
phanS of Wheeling; and his personal de-
Tense of Irishmen against know-nOthing-
ism in the early days of Lewis county.
No IriShman could consistently, with
these facts before him, vote against him.
He fought their battles in the dark days
of '53, when it tried mems souls to be
lriShmen and Catholics. His defense was
not confined to IriShmen alone. He was
the friend of all foreign born citizens.
These facts are part of the history of our
county and can be attested to by our very
best citizens.
