IN THE BELLAIRE DISTRICT.
TayIors Efforts To Make Colonel POorman
Appear u BOOdler.


BELLAIRE, OHIO, July 2l.-The canvass
for the Congressional nomination in this
district is very bitter now. Colonel Joseph
ID. Taylor is evidently frightened lest some
thing turn up to defeat his denomination,
and he is parading in Noble County note
he holds from Colonel c. l.. Poorman for
SI75, and says the Colonel is a bOOdler.
The Colonel denies that the matter had
anything to do with politics, and says il
was purely business transaction. Since
TAYLOR circulated that $40 was POOrman's
price the Colonel has written him demand
iny the note. and two or three business
men from this city have addressed Colonel
Taylor asking him to forward the note to
the bank here for collection, and stating
that they will furnish the money. Colonel
PoOrman has also issued circular in his
own interest, and sent them to every part
of the district. TaylOr'S use Of POOrman's
note, and his attempt to make the Colonel
appear as boodler, has reacted and
strengthened POOrman beyond doubt. He
has assurances from Harrison and Jefferson
Counties now that he could not obtain 4
month ago. If the campaign continues on
its present basis the Republican majority in
this district will disappear. The labor or
ganiLltiOnS in the Ohio Valley are very
pronounced against Colonel Taylor, and de
clare they will nominate candidate of
their own if he put in nomination.

UPPER ILLINOIS AND PROPOSED CANAL
ROUTE.

As shown by the map, a water way al
ready extends from Chicago to Hennepin,
formed for 100 miles by the Illinois and
Michigan canal to La Sale; from the latter
point to Hennepin the Illinois river is util-
lied. The existing canal has been pre-
scented to the government on the event Of
the bill becoming law. This canal, as
well Us the Illinois river, will have to be
widened and deepencd, but the great engi-
neering work will be on the locks in the
proposed canal, as there are two elevations,
one of Dos feet and another OF 40 feet in
the line of the canal, and over which the
commerce will have to be carried
This canal is to be free, and it is expect
ed that offering from st. Paul. Minneapolis
and the great grain growing section, an all
water route to Chicago and through the
water route to Chicago and through the
lakes and Erie canal TO New York, that it
will be Il beneficial competitor TO the rail

"A western Michigaa wool buyer, who

to look upon the matter is 4 sort of gamb-
ling affair.
'You agree to buy my wool for so much
a month in advance of sheaTing, :" said he.
"How do yOu know that wool won't 60 up
or down? The price may be too much or
not enough. 1t looks like flying in the
face of Providence" After n long argu-
ment heagreed to leave it TO his wife, and
she replied:
Look a-here Samuel, I'm just as good
a Baptist as You are, and if there is any
thing in our religion which says We shan't
take twenty-eight cents pound for our
wool when we didn't expect to get above
twenty-five, we'n accept the offer on the
wool and flop over to, the Mehtodists."

GLASS NOTES.

The ensuing season will no doubt be
brisk one in the glass trade.
The Riverside and Venture glass factO-
ries at Wellsburg, w. Va, are the only
flint factories in operation at the present
time in this country.
Several of the flint bottle manufacturers
have notified their men that they desire 10
resume on August |, and do not intend to
stop for two months during the summer,
when their stocks are depleated and orders
remain untitled on account of the closing
of their works.
The window glass workers and the green
bottle blowers have found two months
stOppage beneficial to their trade and inter
est, and we are certain the flint glaSswOrk-
ers and manufacturers would have SINH
lar experience if they adopted the same
rule. At least in the bottle branch, in
which they really compete with the Green
League, we do not see how the flint work
ers can consistently reduce the length of
their vacation. GidssIrOrker.
There is not likely to be any trouble in
any branch of the glass trade this year,
and all glass workers will be perfectly sat
isiied if the wages of last year can be OBJ
tanned. At present there IS no indication
that any general demand for a reduction
will be made by manufacturers, except
perhaps in window glass, where the de-
mand for 4 reduction has settled down to
be a regular occurrence which everybody
expectsland no one is surprised at. But
we anticipate no lockout, GiGSsrOrker;
The bottle blowers convention adjourned
last Saturday afternoon after reafiirming
last years card. The following officers
were chosen for the ensuing year: Master
Workman, Louis Arlington; Cashier Con-
rad Auth. The Executive Board is COM
posed of J. l.. Edwards, Patrick Halcy,
VIM Campbell, John Zetterline and Sam
uel Simpson. Master Workman Arlington,
who will also perform the duties of Secre-
tary, is the only salaried officer. He was
also elected delegate to represent the
organization at the next X. of l.. Assembly
