last Wednesday. for the nomination of Il
Republican candidate for the Seventeenth

Jefferson county welcomed Guernsey and
Noble counties back into the old Seven

per men who were in attendance were
hardly repaid 1or their time and trouble.

that is that Doodle seems To be the prln-
cipal ingredient Of the Republican party.
