TIE LOCAL ELECTIONS.


in the municipalities and townships in
Belmont county are somewhat mixed
with little too strong portion of Dem
ocracy for the public good. 1t was a
poor day for Republicans who, content
with their victory of last fall, permitted
the disagreeable weather to restrain them
from going far ont of their way to per-
form an important public duty. 1t was
a good day for seeming Democratic gains.
Then there was a woeful lack of organi-
zation by many Republican Committee
men whose position requires, if justice is
done, that attention be paid to getting
out the vote. Here are some of the facts
and figures.
In Bellaire City the Democrats elected
George Jennings Water Works Trustee,
and both members of the School Board
L. S. Woodbridge and d. W. Cooper, and
two out of the five Councilmen. Demo-
cratic Assessors were elected in all the
wards except the first. In Pultney town
ship the Democracy elected Geo. Kern
Trustee by 514 majority, and Elmer Dea-
yer Treasurer by % majority.
In Pease township the Republicans
were successful. At Martins Ferry the
Republicans held their own pretty well,
but lost two of their men for Council
Theo. Keller in the first and Capt. VeeSey
in the third wards.
At GAINESVILLE the Republican Council
ticket was elected, although it was
known as a wet one In Warren town
ship John NJ. Gardner, Democrat, was
chosen Justice of the Peace Other town
ship officers elected were Republican.
Kirkwood township also did her share
of the mixing, it is said, and elected a
Democratic Trustee.
Goshen joined the mixers, electing one
Democratic Assessor and two Justices of
the Peace, and possibly Trustee.
Union joined the caravan and gave the
Democratic ticket from 20 to 40 majority
The Council elected at MorristOwn is
said to be wet"
In Colerain Democratic Assessor was
elected, and Paxton V. Hall. Democrat,
was elected Trustee, while the Republi-
can Justice had close shave for his elec-
tion.
There was light vote at all points,
and it beats the old scratch the way the
Republicans helped to make it light. 1t
may be explained possibly on the theory
that they are taking a good rest and get
ting ready for the fray next November

Boot and Shoe store of the late Jas. A.
Barnes, | will continue the Boot and
