was wrapped in furs to keep warm.
The anxious father rushed forward to
Clasp his daughter to his bosom, but
that old relic of a noble race placed his
warped form between father and child.
Like man of straw the Indian was
pushed away. No word of meaning
but wall of anguish burst from his
lips. The girl sprang to her feet. The
father was hurled back as if he had
tried to embrace a tigress. The Indian
was addressed in his native tongue by
one of the cowboys, and gave signs,
after some delay, that he understood
the situation. He communicated to
the frightened child by signs, and she
settled down on the robe, and stared
with wild eyes at those around her.
After a long one-sided conversation,
the old cave dweller expressed his
consent that his ward should 90 with
her father. She could speak no lam
guage, but was Quoted by pantomime
on the part of her protector. To make
the story short, Mr.. Holbrook, by a
great deal of persuasion, and some
force, succeeded in getting his daughter
to the house of friend. The Indian
accompanied the party, and is aiding
on the work of tanning the wild girl
and teaching her to talk before starting
across the continent and separating
her from the only human who can
communicate with her.
In 1877 Mr.. Holbrook was engaged
in the stock business on Salmon river.
The first raid of Josephs warriors was
in that county, and Mrs. Holbrook and
three-year-old child were taken pri-
soners. Mrs. Holbrook was released
after fearful torture, but never recov.
cred from the injuries and nervous
shock. The little girl was supposed lo
have been murdered. 1t now trans.
plres that she was rescue ed by the old
dumb Indian and carried to his lonely
home, where she lived nine years
without hearing human voice OF
seeing human being except the de-
formed and feeble Old man. This ole
Indian was once member of the Nei
Perces tribe, but was decided 10 be 1
-orcerer, or witch, and was con.
demned to have his tongue cut GU
and be banished. For years, too fa
back to be reckoued on the tablets o
the aboriginal intellect, he has lived i,
that gloomy cave. He has made visit.
to the settlement and traded furs t,
the whites for powder and lead. Fish
game, roots and berries have been III,
only food, and the skins OF will,
animals the only clothing in all thes,
years of loneliness.

VOTERS should be on their guard be-
tween now and election day. The Dem
oeratic State executive committee has
decided to flood the State with campaign
documents, making lying attacks upon
Republican candidates-and from the
amount of dark-lantern doings. which
has been going on around the Demo-
cratic headquarters iu the county Offices

tonishing if the local Democratic com
mittee will join heartily in assisting
their State committee in their dirty
work,

THE Democratic committee, who bave
been making their headquarters in tie
county offices, now occupied by Demo-
Gratis, burning county oil, aud concocting
all sorts of schemes to defeat the Repub-
lican party, are chuckling over the ap+
parent apathy and lack of interest man
ifested by Republicans in the contest of
next Tuesday. at the polls. Republicans
should remember that the result of the
election this year will have an important
bearing On that of next year, and every
Democrat elected to State or local Office,
will be found using the influence and
power of his office to perpetuate Denoc7
racy in all its hideousness. From now
on, until the sun sets next Tuesday, Re
publicass should exercise more than or
dinary vigilance in rallying their voters,
and insuring their attendance at the
polls, and they will not only be victori-
Gus in the county, but will sweep it by
magnificent majority.

THE Bellaire independent, which fOr
some reason of private nature, joins
the Democratic free trade press in its
TRADE of abuse of Col. Taylor in its is
sue of Thursday, indulges in over a COLI
umn of romantic stuff. which has no
foundation in fact, and which Republi-
cans of Bellaire and elsewhere, wh love
fairness and common decency, should
resent by voting soldidly for Col. Tay
lor next Tuesday. 1t is not the policy
of the Republicans of Belmont county
to take up the cudgel of opposition to a
candidate for Congress, who was almost
the unanimous first choice of the dis
trict, to either plaeate the whining of
unsuccessful candidates or to satisfy the
personal pique of The man with a private
grudge vote against the congression-
ial nominee of the Republican party, is "a
vote in favor of Democracy, and the man
who costs it intends it to count that
way. no matter what his pers nal griev.
ances may be. There is principle in+
y0lged in vote for congressman, and
the individual who opposes by his vote
or influence. a Republican candidate
for that Office, lends his influence as far
as it goes. to perpetuatlDg Democracy
and its principles.

Democratic Literature.

The following is a sample of the numerous
letters that are being sent out by the Demo-
cratic commettee to secure the attendance of
Democrats at the polls. Republicans may
learn lesson by reading it:
Sr. CLAIRsvILLE, Ohio, Oct. 4th, 1856:
DEAR SIR-It is desired that every Demo-
crat should be at the polls on the I'd of Novem-
Der, as this is one of the most important cleo
tions ever held for many years in this county.
We certainly have as good ticket presented
for your consideration as could have been NOM
mated. There were over 800 Democratic voters
staid away from the polls last fall, and we ask
that you see and speak to as many Democrats
in your township and school district, and in :
terest them in the Importance of getting to the
polls. Impress this on the mind of every Dem
ocrat whom you may meet. If you find any
Democrat whom you think may stay away IRON
the election, inform the tscentral committeeman
of your township of the fact, so that he can
send for the voter. Don't let any one stay
away from the polls who will vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. W. n. COPELAND,
Chairman Bel. Co. Dem. Com.
J. B. RYAN, Secretary

Begging Votes.

The extraordinary and desperate eff
forts of Democratic candidates to cap
ture Republican votes in this equity is
becoming disgusting. There seems to
he no depths tu which they are unwilling
to stoop, in order to secure a vote or
lessen antagonism. They have travelled
all over the county, approaching Repub-
lican voters, with the assurance of COM
mon tramps, begging votes as hungry,
starving beggars beg bread. Not salts
lied with their trips of this character,
they again go their rounds making pite-
Gus appeals, ayerrlug that i'll their form
or canvass they expended so much mon
ey to obtain an election that if they
fail of a second election they would go
out of office worse off than If never
elected, and falsely representing that
their competitors ars we'll off. or have
large paying positions. Their next, and
it is to be hoped their last trip is being
made, and this time they approach Re
publicans of highest standing and say to
them: We'll, know you are straight
Republican, and l expect you to vote
your ticket, but if you cannot do any
thing for me, l hope you will not do
anything against me-don't work
against me-" NOw,we desire TO say that
this whole business is demoralizing and
Idisgraceful. Men who pretend to be
Democrats and use all their influence
when in position to build up all the
Democratic party and its party machi-
chinery can have very little self-respect,
or they would not go about begging
votes of Republicans. When they come
out and admit that they expended so
much money securing enough Republi'
can votes to elect them the first time, in
d Republican county, that it has taken
all the profits out of their term in office,
their confession should secure their
Overwhelming defeat. They admit that
they are debauching and demLraiizing
the politics of the county, and making it
all the more difficult for Republicans, no
matter how worthy, TO secure an cleo
tion in Republican county. If, as they
say, their first election cost them so
much money, they should be arrested
and indicted for violation of the election
! laws, rather than be reelected. When
! they beg Republicans not to work
/ against them, they offer an insult to all
| they approach, because if a man is hon.
estly Republican. to ask him not t.
work for his party, and thereby let the
Opposition party get into power. is to ask
him to abandon his principles and tuin
traitor to his party.
Their whole campaign course and
their sell abasing personal appeals is
conclusive evidence that they are cont
scious that the Democratic party is in IA
minority in this county. ard they have
no chance of success unless through Re.
publican votes. and that self .abastment
is the best evidence in the world hat
they don't merit such votes. The soon>
er such candidates are relegated to pri>
vate life, the better it will be for the
purity of the politics of this country. -

Attention. Republicans.

Republican reader, you have duty to per-
form. Next Tuesday, November ., is cleo
ton day. You can be of material aid to
your party and help it onward to glorious
success by making every effort in your power
to get out the full Republican vote. Between
now and election day see every man of your
acquaintance whose politics you have doubts
about, and induce him to east his vote this
year for the party Of purity and honesty;
the soldiers party; the workingmen's party;
everybody's party-the Republican party.
Urge on your Republican friends the neces-
sity of like efforts. But do not stop at this.
Make arrangements to devote the entire day
next Tuesday to your party. Vote early in
the day. Then put in the day getting Re-
publicans to the polls See that every Re-
publican vote is polled. Visit your Repub-
ican neighbors and get them to the polls.
You can easily tell by noon who of your
neighbors who will vote the Republican
ticket has not yet voted. GO and get them.
To roll up good majority this year every
Republican vote in the state must be cast.
The Democrats are thoroughly organized
and are making a desperate still-hunt To
defeat them every individual Republican
must devote himself to getting out our vote.
