FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS
BELMONT RIDGE.

Wet weather seems to predominate-
so much so, that the farmers are getting
discouraged in getting their fall work
done; some complain of the corn rotting
Every one is putting lots of apples
away for winter.
The cider mills are busy almost day
and night-of course, it is for vinegar
and apple butter-for We have no uSe
for cider to drink after it is over two
DAYS old.
Erasmus Moore and wife, Mrs. A. T
Moore, and Caroline Atkinson, took in
the Exposition at Cincinnati this week
and report a good time.
We notice that James J. Phillips (the
huckster) blows his horn louder than
usual recently, and suppose it is because
he has got big boy at his house.
The correspondent of the Enterprise
from Beallsville, few weeks ago, said
that the Democrats on this Ridge raised
pole. On the banner is found this in
scription: Harrison, Morton and Pro
lection" If this is Democracy, give us
some more of it.
Those who heard Judge Vests speech
in Bellaire, report it as one of the best
they ever heard on the Tariff. No one
could sit and listen to the Judge, and GO
away and truthfully argue that the con-
sumer paid the Tariff.

employed to teach the winter term OF

WHICH SHALL II BE?

Within two weeks the American peo-
pie will decide question which is i'm
measurably more vital to their welfare
and prosperity than any other question
they have had to deal with since the
war closed in 1865. Their determine
ton on the 9th of November will mean
more to themselves and their children,
than any other action they have taken
for quarter of a century. On that day
of days they will decide whether they
will continue the system under which
they have enjoyed success far beyond
that of any other nation, or whether
they will throw away the old charts
and safeguards, and enter upon a new
course of agitation, experiment, uncer-
tainty and peril.
For if Mr.. Cleveland should be reflect
ed, it would mean even more than the
adoption of the Mills bill. That would
be calamitous enough, and it would GER
tainly mean at least that much. There
would then be no barrier but the narrow
margin of two votes in the Senate, and
the same majority which should reseat
Mr.. Cleveland would wipe away that
thin obstacle. If the American people
deliberately reelect Cleveland it will
mean that they want the Mills bill, and
the Senate could not be expected to make
successful resistance. If that were all
it would be bad enough, but it would be
far from all. The Mills bill would be
only the beginning. 1t was trimmed
and toned at every stage. Bad as it is,
it by no means embodies the full pur-
pose of its trainers. They do not hesi-
tate to say that it is only first step. If
Mr.. Cleveland were reelected, he would
say, and he would be justified in say
ing, that the people had indOrsed his
message and had commanded him to
pursue the policy it proclaimed. The
message goes far beyond the Mills bill
1t proposes to make the entire reduc-
tion of revenue to fall on the protective
duties. 1t condemns any reduction of
internal taxes whatever. 1t out-Mills
Mills at every point Elect Cleveland
and you not only enact the Mills bill,
but you go beyond the Mills bill to
Cleveland's more extreme position.

WHY AM A REPUBLICAN.

REASONS GIVEN BY REV. DIR. DANIEL
DORCHESTER, OF BOSTON. q.
The following letter is from the pen
of the Rev. Dr. Dorchester of Boston. It
should be read by every temperance
man in the country
To an Intelligent PU6lic:-
Many inquiries have been propounded
to me during the past three months, a
few of which l desire to answer in this
letter.
First. ain asked why as temperance reform
Ell, remain in the Republican party, while 9th
er temperance people have left it?
IL am aware that not many temper
ance people have left the Republican
party. Not per cent, in 1854. went
into the third party: and probably 80 per
cent. of all in the North who favor the
most radical temperance measures are
now in the Republican party. 1t is not
likely to be so lonesome place for tenn
perance people as the third party. l
prefer to remain in the old ranks and
work with the greater mass of temper
ance people, who are more concerned
to promote temperance than to build up
a party. That the solid temperance
sentiment of the Northern States is in
the Republican party, Notwithstanding
it has not done, and cannot at once do,
all that Over-sanguine agitators ask it
to do, will proceed to show.
2-The only Prohibition States
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode
Island, Iowa, and Kansas-are reliable
Republican States.
3-The portions of the aforesaid
States where prohibition is well enforced
are the parts which are most strongly
Republican.
4-the localities in the North where
no license prevails, under local option,
are almost wholly Republican.
5-Where license prevails under local
option the bulk of the no-licensse vote
is cast by Republicans.
Elm the States where heavy "tax
laws" have been enacted against the sa-
loon, because it was felt that public SEN
timent would not enforce prohibition,
this aggressive movement for temper
ance has been led and sustained chiefly
by Republicans, who will gladly hail
still more radical measures when the
people are ready for them.
TO the extent that, in the North,
the Republicans have sufficiently con-
trolling influence, the saloons disappear
or are seriously crippled. There are
some sad exceptions, but not numerous.
10-All the most radical temperance
Legislation, in the North, for a third of
century, has been proposed and en-
acted by Republicans.

CANNON BALL TRAIN WRECKED.

CAN NON DALI 1hA1N W IEOhED.
\ disastrous railway accident occur
red at Washington, Pa, on Friday morn
ing, resulting in the killing of three
men and the injury Of about 20 other
persons.
Train No. Is, on the 3. 4 O. road,
known as the Cannon Ball train, the
Cincinnati and Philadelphia Express,
conductor D. Francis, went dashing
along the track at Washington, Pa, Fri
day morning, an hour and half late.
Just before the train reached the depot,
and the engineer was about to apply the
air brakes to check up, it struck an open
switch leading out on a"Y" track, built on
trestles about fifteen feet high. Before ii
could be checked it rushed to the end of
the track, and the engine came in con-
tact with box car standing in the way
and was thrown off the trestle. Follow
ing engine the refrigerator and express
car was piled on its top, and the bag
gage car was broken TO pieces in its fall
upon the express. Following these with
fearful crash, went the Pullman car
"MonrOeville," and one day coach. The
last coach did not go down. Both en-
CINE and cars were a mass of ruins.
James Noonan, the engineer, fell un-
der his engine and was instantly killed,
and it was two hours before his body
could be recovered. Harry Brown, the
fireman, and VIM. McAuliffe, who was
firing extra, both died few hours after
the accident. Among the injured was
Mrs. Hannah Mckinney, an aged lady of
New Concord, Ohio, who was on her way
to visit her son, who is. a minister at
Beaver Falls.
The intettigencer says of the wreck
that it was the worst ever seen. Every
piece of the engine, almost, was torn
loose and scattered far and wide, and all
the cars dismantled. The scene was one
mass of broken metal and debris. Bag
gage and mail matter were strewn
promiscuously about on the ground at
the scene of the wreck.
How the switch came to be open no
one knows. 1t is said the local yardmen
had been turning some engines early
that morning and some one left
the switch open.
When the train come along there was
no warning that everything was not all
right.

"OHIO STATE DEMOCRATIC EX. Com. Rooms, J
COLUMBUS, o., October 20, 1855. !
''MY DEAR DOCToR:-SOme of the
members of the Board of Examining Sur
geons have voluntarily contributed to
this committee five per cent. of their an
nual income from that source for cam
paign purposes. Believing that all would
cheerfully contribute if they knew where
the proper place was to send their dona-
ton, would say that Chairman Calvin

authorized me to collect in Ohio for the
National campaign fund, and any amount
five per cent. of annual income is the
rule) you may remit will be properly ap-
piled in educating the people in the doc
trine of tariff reform Yours very truly.
JAMES B. TOWNSEND, Chairman"
The above letter was addressed to DIR.
Henry West, St. ClairsYille, who has
been dead about two years. The Doctor,
under the last Republican administra-
ton, was a member of the Board of Ex-
amining Surgeons in Ohio. There are
some two hundred of these officers in
Ohio, whose annual salary is about
81, 200 each, and it is said that each of
them have been called upon to ''put up, y
so that the Performers" may expect to
realize about $4,000 from this source.
This demand for money upon a man
who has been in his grave for two years,
is something wolfsh in ferocity, but it
is only fair sample of the remorseless
demand which the Democratic party
managers are making upon office-hold-
ers for money with which to corrupt the
franchise. Republicans everywhere,
should be on their guard, and enforce
the law against the infamous boodlers.

Election Tuesday, Nov. 9th.

In 1884, Mr.. E. B. Harper. President
of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life As
sociation, of New York, organized and
equipped six Democratic clubs because
he liked Mr.. Cleveland's tariff reform
ideas. Three months ago Mr.. Harper
went to Europe, and spent a good part
of his time abroad investigating the in
dustrial condition there. He return
ed a couple of weeks ago, and has
publicly declared himself a protect
ionist and supporter of Harrison and
Morton. He called his employees, sew,
eral hundred in number, together one
evening last week, told them what he
had seen abroad, and urged them one
and all to vote for protection. Mr
Harper, be it remembered, is not a
manufacturer.

At Peru, Ind, on Thursday, he made a
sickly effort to prove that the Democrat,

Democrats were laboring men. He for
got to mention the fact that his party
made itself the tool of the sugar trust,

further facts that the anthracite coal

Democratic, contributed literally to the

slant source of discomfort is the dripping
of the purulent secretions into the throat,
sometimes producing inveterate brOn-

making an especially desperate effort to
capture the important Office of Sheriff.
We have no fear that they will sue

voters that Oliver E. Foulke, the pres
ent incumbent, was gallant soldier,
has discharged the duties Of the office
well, and there is no reason why he
should not command the support Of the
people There ought to be no breaks in
the Republican line this year, nor do
we think there will be any found when
the ballots are counted out on election
night.

JOHN RANDOLPH of Roanoke was so
opposed to the wool tariff that he used
to say he would go twenty yards out of
his way to kick a sheep, and Senator
Coke of Texas says: "If there is any
one thing in the world that the average
Texan would go any number of miles
out of his way to kick and kill and de-
stroy it is protective tariff"
That is the sentiment that Mills and
his bill represents and it is the senti-
ment endorsed by the Democratic party
in their platform.

COTTON TIES are consumed solely in
the South, therefore Roger Q. Mills
tariff bill for the Solid South only, put
them on the free list. Sugar and rice
are Southern products exclusively, so
the Mills bill retained high rate tariff
on both commodities. But wool, salt,
and lumber are Northern industries, and
went on the free list, of course.
