A WARNING.

Mr.. Cappeller, Chairman of the Re-
publican State Executive Committee,
has sent out a circular saying;
"Ohio Republicans must be on guard!
Believing that the Republicans in this
State are reposing in confidence and
making no special exertion, the Demo
Gratis are making desperate effort to
carry the State by the use of a large
amount of money and by secret organi-
cations all through the State.
ait is not necessary to inform you as
to the importance Of this election, but
we desire to impress on you the very
great Importance of getting out our full
vote on election day and thwarting the
Democrats in their desperate efforts to
make inroads in our ranks and defeat
us if possible.
"The impression that Ohio is safely
Republican, and needs no attention, has
done us great harm, in that it has lulled
into sense of security those who might
have otherwise been industriOuSly and
energetically at work during the past
few weeks. l trust and believe that you
have not been one of these, and l ask
you to assist in arousing every Republi-
can to the seriousness OF the SltuatlOI
which now cOnfrontS us.
'The Democrats have large supply
of money, as well as the intention Of
winning by any sort of corruption. The!
must be watched closely and their worl
frustrated. To do this you must be OF
the alert. Their attempt to corrup
voters must not be allowed to succeed
or to 60 unpunished.

WHY GO WEST

When such grand opportunities await
you in West Virginia, Maryland and the
famous Shenandoah Valley, Virginia. a
section possessing all the requisites for
health, comfort and prosperity.
NoregiOn in the United States is attrac-
ing greater attention than those States;
people form the North, West and extreme
South are looking that way with the view
of locating. Improved farm lands are to
be obtained at from SO per acre and up
wards, unimprOved timber and grazing
lands at from 81 to SO per acre.
Rich mineral lands are cheap excellent
water powers, manufacturing sites, busi-
ness locations. etc, are numerous. The
schools and churches are excellent; the
people are hOspitable and extend warm
welcome to new corners. The climate is
unequaled, no severe storms or cyclones,
no contagious diseases.
If you wi'h to know more about these
States you should write to NJ. V. Richards,
Land and Emigrant Agent, b. & o. r. r.,
Baltimore, Md, stating what you want
and he will give you full information
free of charge. IL 1-3teow

FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS.
UNIONTOWN.

Rev. G. S. Hackett, Mr.. and Mrs. Jos.
Bell, and Miss May Hays, represented
the sabbath school of Crab Apple Church
at the late S. s. Convention, held at
Barnesville.
The sad intelligence of the death of
Mrs. Susie Matthes, of New Mexico,
daughter of Mrs. Anna Atkinson, of
Flushing, was received on Saturday eve
ming last. "Susie" was universally be-
loved, and her death will cause sadness
in many hearts.
Mrs. Flora Weaver, wife of Rev. j. l..
Weaver, of Burgettstown, Pa, attended
the Missionary Convention at Bannock,
and paid a brief visit to relatives at this
place.
Mr.. T. S. Bethel had a good COW Sc
riously injured by railroad locomotive,
which struck her as she was walking
the track.
The drum corps, composed of young
boys, which came over from Hammonds-
vile, to play at the Republican meeting,
which did not consummate owing to the
failure of the speakers to attend, attract
ed much attention as they marched the
streets. Their music was good.
Rev, Conan preached from the pulpit
of the U. p. Church on Sabbath last.
Thousands of bushels of apples are
being shipped from Bruce Station
Messrs. Bentley & Mcfarland, being
the principal purchasers. The apples
are brought loose in the wagons and
weighed, and then put into the cars
without being barreled or boxed.
Mr.. Josiah Snedeker, we are inform
ed, has purchased three lots at Bannock,
and has contracted for the erection of a
large building. Messrs. Junkins and
Bentley have about completed their
new dwellings, which add greatly to the
handsome appearance of the new town.
Miss Sadie Caldwell, of BannOck, is
paying visit to the home of her broth
er, r. B. Caldwell, who is an employee of
the Government Printing Office, Wash
ington City.
Chestnuts are abundant, and if the
weather continues fine many will be
gathered. Like "Jasper's" walnuts, they
can be gathered "sittin' down." which
makes the work easier. IL.

THE SOLDIERS IN THE CANVASS

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The Union soldiers form a very con-
siderable body of voters, and while they
are by no means demonstrative in po-
litical sense they place very high esti-
mate on the right of suffrage and never
fail to make their influence felt when i'm
portant interests are at stake. The at
titude of Mr. Cleveland toward the vet
eran survivors of the war has been so
uniformly unfeeling and unfriendly, not
to say unjust and outrageous, that thou
sands who supported him four years
ago will take special qualification in
voting against him at the coming cleo
ton.
The whole country knows how the
President has gone out of his way to
cast reproach upon the Grand Army
men and all others associated with them
in their efforts to procure adequate pen
sions for their disabled comrades and
their dependent families. 1t is not be-
cause very large number of pension
bills were vetoed that the soldiers have
occasion to punish the President. The
simple abuse of the veto power was bad
enough, but to make it the vehicle for
heaping reproach upon most deserving
and patriotic class of citizens was more
than they are willing to stand. Mr..
Cleveland has spoken of the Grand army
and their friends as so many organized
piIlagers of the public treasury, and has
shown his repugnance to granting them
any reward or bounty in the way of pen
sions that can possibly be withheld from
them.
The President has had it all his own
way for four years past. In that time
he has vetoed hundreds of pension bills,
has turned out of office ScOrceS of worthy
soldiers in every State and put partisan
Democrats and eX-rebels in their places,
and has treated the Union soldiers as
either unprincipled plunderers or unmit-
igated beggars. Now it is their turn to
express their opinion of Mr.. Cleveland,
and they are going to do it with very
decided unanimity, They are getting
their ''vetoeS" ready, and when Novem
Der comes around they will ''fre them
off " in volley that will astonish the
occupant of the White House. If they
stand together now as they did from
81 to '65, they can defeat Grover Cleve-
land as certainly as they defeated that
other Union-soldier hater, jeff Davis.

THE CAMPAIGN

In this county has not been anOisy one,
but upon the part of Republicans has
been characterized by great earnestness.
Most of the meetings have been surpriS-
ing and inspiring. The Democrats, on
the other hand, have had a hard drag,
and in several instances their attempted
meetings have been downright and total
failures; these, too, in heretofore Demo
cratic strongholds.
The large school house at JacO5sburg
was filled last Wednesday night, and STIR
ring speeches delivered by MeSsrs. \. I.
McKelvey and T. W. Nichols. At Cen
terville, in the same township, an attempt
to hold Cleveland meeting met with a
total failure.
At Burr's Mills, on the following night,
from 800 to 1000 people gathered. The
BarnesYille Band and two drum corps
furnished the music There was a fine
horseback parade, after which the same
speakers addressed the people. At Hunt
er. three miles south, the Cleveland peO-
pie had another failure.
At Somerton, ON Friday night, and at
Hendrysburg, on Saturday night, MeSSrs.
McKelvey and Nichols addressed large
meetings.
At Kennon, Thursday night, and at
Belmont Meeting House, Friday night,
J. NJ. Rees, John Pollock, and a. NJ
| ID. t,,,o
At Snepherdstown, Thursday night, the
schoolhouse was, s,flled with people to hea1
an address from Hon. W. ID. HOtf. His
address was lofty presentation of the
issues before the people, and of the du
ties of American citizenship. A well
paid. contented, and prosperous working
people. in the opinion of the speaker are
the glory and strength of the Republic
Protection against the pauper labor OF
Europe affords guaranty of the vel
being of our people, and of the independ,
ence and power of the nation. The ad
dress was a thoughtful one, and was list,
ened to with great interest. After Judge
Hoff concluded, J. B. Longley and W. a
Hunt were introduced and made short
addresses. Among the pleasant features
of the meeting was the presence of two
drlm corps-one under the lead Of Master
C. c. Patton and the other under james
Carter.
At Barton. Saturday afternoon, Hon
J. d. Taylor addressed fine meeting
and in the evening, at st. Clairsville, fom
times as many people turned out t(
hear him, on two days notice, and with
out solicitation, as were present at the
Lawrence meeting few nights before
After Colonel Taylor concluded, Hon Lo
renzo Danford was called out, who made
a short, but ringing, speech.

THE Oliver chilled plow lie is having
something of a run in the DemocraRc
papers Just now. Consul General Wash
ington sent it out from London, Ont, in
its original shape, which was that these
plows were sold in Canada at s12 retail
and $40 wholesale, while their price in
the United States is $14 wholesale and
$16 retail. The proprietors of the plow
works, which are at South Bend, Ind,
say that they have practically no trade
at all with Canada, and that the largest
plow they make retails in America at
$11, without wheel and jointer, and not
above $14 with them. With these trifing
exceptions the lie is true. The facility
with which the Democrats invent and
circulate fresh young lies would seem to
indicate either a marvellous fecundity of
falsehood or an extreme desperateness
of prospects, or both. Republicans may
safely brand any story the struggling
Democracy may invent from now until
the polls close, as pure fabrication.

For some days past the New York
World has been interviewing everything
in the shape of voter that can be reach,
ed in New York city. Among Other
questions asked was whether the votel
had supported his party Presidential
nominee last time, and whether ht
meant to this election. 1t is found that
the number of those who bolted theil
party against Blaine is not half tht
number of those who will support Har
rison this year in preference to Cleve
land last time. This fact is one Of the
most suggestive that has yet been de
yeloped in the New York campaign.

FREE WOOL.
CleyeIand's Reasons for Destroying the Sheep
Industries.

From His Last Message.
When the number of farmers engaged
in wool raising is compared with the
farmers in the country, and the small
proportion they bear to our population
is considered; when it is made apparent
that in the case Of large part of those
who own sheep, the benefit of the pres
ent tariff ou wool is illusory, and above
all, when it must be conceded that the
increase of the cost of living caused by
such tariff becomes a burden upon those
with moderate means and the poor, the
employed and the unemployed, the sick
and well, and the young and old, and
that it constitutes tax, which, with re-
lentless grasp, is fastened upon the
clothing of every man, woman and
child in the land, reasons are suggested
why the removal or reduction of this
duty should be included in a revision of
our tariff laws.

LOOK OUT FOR ILLEGAL TICKETS

LOOK OUT FOR ILLEGAL TICKETS.
The Democratic candidate for Sheriff
has been engaged for the past three
weeks in circulating alleged Republican
tickets with his name inserted in place
of that of o. E. Foulke, which is not the
ticket authorized by the party in this
county. 1t is about four inches longer
than the Republican ticket-has a diff
ferent heading, and contains words not
on the regular ticket. Section 2948 Rev.
Stat. %. l.. vol. 79, p. 106) makes it un-
lawful to furnish any elector or to vote
any such ballot. Mr.. Warnock's atten-
tion has been called to this matter, and
possibly since the discovery of his error
he has done what he could to recall the
tickets he has distributed, but notwith-
standing this, many of them are still in
the hands of the people. Republicans
everywhere should see TO it that none Of
them are voted. The genuine Republi-
can ticket is just IA inches long, and an
exact copy of it will be found on the first
page of this paper. Compare the ticket
you vote with it.

THE Democrats promised four years
ago to reduce the expenses of the Gov
ernment in such a degree as to prove
that the Republicans had been spending
money in a shamefully extravagant
manner. To see how this promise has
been fulfilled it is only necessary to
glance at the figures which show what
the Government is now costing us.
There has been no decrease whatever,
but on the contrary, an increase of
about S9O,OOO,OOO per year as penalty
for making the change. Turn the ras-
Gals out.

EVERY REPUBLICAN TO HIS POST

EVERY REPUBLICANTo TO HIS POST.
A few days remain in which Repub-
Iicans can work to save the country
from adopting the ruinous policy OF
Free Trade. But few days in which to
swell the majority for the Ohio State
Republican ticket. But few days in
which to show our devotion to the cause
led by the heroic and manly native OF
Ohio, Ben Harrison, and to prepare to
roll up the largest majority given to any
candidate within ten decades. Our
National, State and County COMMITTEES
have done and are doing their work
with zeal and thoroughness. But toe
much reliance must not be placed on the
work of committees. Individual Re
publicans have duties to perform in re-
spending to calls for service, and IL
using their efforts to help this glorious
campaign for american ideas, tlstttu.
tions and industries. Republicans OF
Belmont county, make record on next
Tuesday that you will not be ashamed
to recall. Rally for the protection Of
your American homes.

AN effort is being made by some of
the Democratic managers in this conuty
to intimidate old soldiers into voting
against the Republican ticket, by threat
ening them with the loss of their pen
sions and other allowances made them.
This is despicable business small
for decent men tC engage in. Veterans
are not made of the kind of stuff to be
scared by the bluster of unprincipled
demagogues; and, besides, the right
kind of a soldier would permit himself
to be sent to the poor house rather than
be dragooned into voting the Democratic
ticket by any such methods.

WHY shouldn't this country tax the for
eign product? Can any Democratic reve.
nue. reformer tell wherein it is better for
the American people to tax theirp products
than to tax some one else's? The Re
publican protective tariff thinks a good
deal more of men than it does of mer-
chandise. There isn't market in the
world like our great American market
Before we talk of foreign markets let's
possess our own markets. We haven't

100000 of foreign products, among
them $5O,OOO,00O worth of iron and
