Congressman Taylor's Great Set eme to
Nominate a Ticket for tho Belmont Re
publlcans.
The Republican county convention will
be held in Martins Ferry Oh August 81.
The delegates to that convention ara to be
chosen on next Saturday. The sweeping
victories of recent years have caused the
candidates to be more numerous than usu-
al, and be is indeed a prophet who would
noT name the ticket to be nominated. No
careful man predicts with any confidence
his own success, even to his friends, and
the sapguine cffice.seeker's strong hope lies
rather in his temperament than in any &C.
curate knowledge of the situation. Unless
ali signs fail, the contest at the primaries
will be spirited throughout the county.
At st. Olairsville Henry NJ. Davies and
John B. LO0gley are rival candidates for
Clerk of the Courts, and each will have q
good ticket Of delegates in the field. In
KirkwoOd township, the old home Of
Davies, and present residence of Rose and
Ayers, who also are willing that their
names should add strength to the county
ticket, triangular fight will result. Abe
Kelley and Eli Moore live in Barnes
vile and they are both candidates
to succeed Treasurer George Robinson,
Warren township will witness a fight to
a flush. In Putney township, Frank
Archer and George NJ. Wise will spsr for
honors. Archer wants to be named for
treasurer, while Wise desires to become
the auditor. Both cannot be nominated.
The feature of the coming fight at the
primaries will be this: Congressman
Joseph d. Taylor, of Guernsey county ex-
poets to be his own successor. He has
made good many promises aud some of
his political notes are now due
and payable. There are not enough
pOstotfices to 90 around, and
consequently new scheme suggested itself
to Tay lor's fertile brain. If hi5 friends In
Belmont county would only put some of
his faithful but ravenous adherents on
their county ticket, It would simplify mat
ters greatly. The word was passed quietly
along the line and those who claim to be
loyal Taylor men are expected TO support
Grorge NJ. Wise for Auditor, John B.
Longley for Clerk of Courts, and Abe Kel-
ley for Treasurer.
That is now the slate. 1t may be chan
ged before the eventful day. Belmont
county political bosses always keep a wet
sponge within reach. ~
