The time for the Congressional Con-

The time for the Congressional Con-
vention is near at hand, and the cam
paign of the candidates is getting
somewhat warm. Jackson County
has not become excited over the situa-
ton, as it is conceded everywhere that
Jackson County's duty is the support
Of Mr.. Bundy-a firm, earnest effort
to secure his nomination. There are
the usual wild rumors ahoat concern
ing the candidates, and friends Of the
different candidates over the District
are watching each other closely. But
there is no probability that any un-
fairness, anything unworthy Of the
great Republican party will be at
tempted. Strong delegations from
the different counties will be at CALI
polls, and as for Jackson County, we
can assure our readers that they will
be fully advised as to the work of the
delegation from this county. We be-
ieve that work will be a fair, manly
fight for Mr.. Bundy. 1t matters not
what promises may have been made
to candidates in other counties, the
delegate who plays false to the inter-
ests Of Jackson County's candidate
will get the full benefit Of the record
he makes. The Republican party of
Jackson County is not the tool or
plaything Of anybody. It is COM
posed of strong, thinking men, who
see something nobler in politics than
the mere scramble for official place.
They advocate Mr.. Bundy's nomina-
tion because he is the kind of man
that fully represents the great Repub-
can party and the principles upon
which it is founded. His candidacy
does not affect the candidacy Of
Jackson County man for any other
position, as long as that candidacy is
not made to antagonize Bundy's in
terests. 1t would be difficult to un-
derstand how men could demonstrate
their eagerness to stand by Jackson
County men, by attempting to secure
the support Of a single Jackson Coun-
ty delegate for any other candidate.
No trickery will be permitted and per-
haps none attempted. The Gallipolis
Convention will be one Of great i'm
portance as starting point in the
great campaign which it is hoped will
relegate Grover Cleveland and Jeff
Davis to the rear, in the politics Of |
this great country. We want per-
feet organization this year, an organ
ization that means grand victory for
Republicanism. To this end, let there
be no differences, no contests within
the party; but let all unite for the
purpose Of crushing the common en-
emy. There is no sufficient reason
why Jackson County should not give
an increased majority this year. We
are ceartain it will, with Bundy on
the ticket.

Appeals have been made to me by
members of the Centennial Commit

of the 7th Of April, at Marietta, to
search Jackson County for relics of

Therefore, any one Of this town or
vicinity who has anything in his care
or possession, or knows Of anything
in the possession of his friends or
acquaintance, having any historic in
terest that is in any way related to
the early settlement of Jackson, will
confer favor by addressing informa-

There is not a dissenting voice. All

agreed that the Richmond Exposition IS
in every way a fine success. The dis
plays are Of bewildering variety, beauty,
and extent, aud the attendance has been
greater than was expected.
The Sonth has made marvellous pro-

while 1t had only about 30,OJopopulation
At the opening Of tho war it has nearly
l01.00 population to-day and thrcc or
four times as much business and real
wealth.
The war closed with Richmond, the
once proud capital Of the South, Il
