Proposed Reunion of the Secret Societies.

of Interest.
Special Correspondence efthe Sunday Register.
STEUBENvLLE, January 26.-The idea
advanced in the REGISTER lest Sunday Of
reunion of secret societies was casually
considered daring the past week by scme
OF our citizeDs, but no steps we're taken
looking to taeaccomplishmeat cf the object.
However, every little helps, and the con-
sideration it received this week is sign
that something will be done about the
matter. Nothing in the way of a celebra-
ton for the year 1889 has yet been thought
Of and as Steubeayille should have at
least one big day in every twelve months,
there is 70 reason why our people should
not fall in line and commence to
boom the reunion that it is patent will be
one Of the biggest cards ever played fer
the purpose Of drawing a crowd. Two ont
Of every three cit;zans Of Steubenville arc
connected with some secret order, and As
natural consequence will be interested in
s.eing the reunion a success. What is true
or Steubenville in this respact is true OF
every other city in the Union, and il one
fourth OF the secret order people residing
within one hurdfed miles of S.eubeuville
were injured to visit our city on certain
day, the ignitude Of their numbers would
ss.Onish thOee psrsoas who have never
thought Of their strength. Let Us have the
reunion By all means, and il will be day
to be long remembered aud talked about.

siantial, satisfying affairs that can only be
prepared By ladies experienced in such
mst ers. The entertainment was Of such

the auspices of the same lodge, ard the
large attendance and pleasant time en-
joyed by all present was a source of great

ceipte from these affairs were considerably

All is not harmonious in the Republican
party in this city. The Herald is greatly
displessed at the actions of some of cur
city officials, and in order 10 get even for
fncied wrongs has, by insinuating para
graphs, sought tn belittle some of those
who are candidates for reelection. But
its efforts in this line only cause pleasant
smiles, fer The assailed parties know that
it is incapable Of doing any harm, and
their chances for re nomination are Just as
good as if they had the hearty support OF
the organ of the party. After the battle
ia over and its enemies have triumphed,
the Herald, as usual, will suddenly dis
cover that these same men are peculiarly
adapted for the positions for the positions
for which they are candidates.
The Mayor has been making it lively for
the Panhandle Railroad Company under
the ordinance lately adopted by Council to
prevent the swichirg Of trains over street
