FARMERS of Belmont county, you owe
your best efforts from this time
until the close of the polls to the Re-
publican Cause. You remember dis
tinctly what you were threatened with
by the so-called Mills bill. You know
that measure SO disastrous to your in
terests was beaten by Republican
Senate. You know Republican House
and Senate have this year given Pro-
lection to the products of your fields and
flocks. That measure is now on trial
The approval of the people is of vital
importance to its successful working.
Stand together like those other "embat-
tied farmers" did hundred years ago,
and fire shot into the ballot-box that
will be heard 'round the world

THIS is good year to have Republi-
can standards high advanced. Rarely
in its history has the party occupied
such advanced and high ground. Its
national administration is clean and
patriotic one In both houses of Con-
gresS especially in the assembly of the
People, the House of Representatives -
the public interests have been main
tanned with rare fidelity and cour-
age. In therecent special session of the
State Legislature the Republican minor
ity was prudent and patriotic-looking
to the interests of the People, rather
than party advantage. In the county
the leaders of opinion in the party have
always treated the People frankly, and
have always sternly insisted upon an
honest and clean administration of coun-
ty offices. The People of the county
know this, and they know Democratic
party leaders have not. j. B. L.

THE PRICE OF WOOL ADVANCED.
Chairman Hahn, of the Republican
State Executive Committee recently
wrote to Mr.. James Demas Bricker, a
prominent wool grower of Centerburg,
Knox county, this State, asking him

had in that section of the State on the
price of wool The answer received was
as follows:
W. NJ. Hahn, Columbus, o:
My DEAR SIR:-Yours of the 2Ist,
making inquiry relative to the price of
wool in this locality before and after the
passage of the Mckinley bill, at hand,
and in reply will say that wool, since its
passage, has been selling for about two
cents per pound more upon the average
than before. Wool that was slow at
twenty eight cents straight prior to its
passage is now active at thirty cents,
and better grades at thirty-three cents.
L will say further that both the demand
and price for stock sheep have increased.
Yours truly, DEMAs BRICKER.
We endorse the abUve.

BELMONT county people ought to
be especially interested in the result of
this years election. The new tariff act,
which the New York Tribune pronoanc-
es "the wisest, brayest, and most patri-
otic ever enacted by an American Con-
gress," has just gone into operation. Its
successful working depends, largely,
upon its endorsement by the People. If
the Republicans win at the election there
will be no agitation at the ensuing ses-
sion of Congress, and the beneficial eff
fects will be felt in all lines of business.
If they fail, agitation will be renewed
at the opening of Congress, and bust
ness will be Frustrated. Rejecting men
must recognize this situation.
This county is peculiarly interested in
protection. That policy has built up
Wheeling, Bellaire, Martins Ferry,
Bridgeport, and Barnesville towns
which afford splendid markets for the
products of the fields and gardens of the
county. The triumph of so-called Dem
ocratic ideas of government will cripple
them. The continued triumph of Re-
publican ideas will strengthen them.
Every well-iuformed and right thinking
man must appreciate that fact. Why

IT appears the Gazette has been call
ing the attention of the people to some
thing. 1t was not about unlawful
charges of Democratic Auditor, Clerk,
or Probate Judge, but about the amount
paid for assistance for the Prosecuting
Attorney.
The Democratic candidate for Prose-
cutting Attorney has been considerably
treated by Republicans, and, consider
ing the character of the assaults of the
Gazette upon Mr.. Hollingsworth, Re-
publican newspapers have been especial
ly considerate of Mr.. Lawrence. Posi-
bly, he appreciates it. Certainly his Or
gan does not.
Men who have business in the courts
know that Mr.. Hollingsworth is dis
charging the duties of his office with
ability, care, and fidelity, and that he is
man of honor and dignity, who knows
no party in the discharge of public du-
ty; and it is quite certain that all such
men appreciate the assaults of the par
tisan Gazette at their true value, and
they know, too, that the business of the
Office is economically administered.

AWAY back in the earlier and grander
days of our cOuntry's history, when the
war drums had sounded, and thousands
of patriotic Americans were hurrying to
defend the honor of our flag upon the
fields of Mexico.-Gdzette.
FudgeI Instead of a war for the
honor of the flag it was an assault upon
weak government, solely to rob it of
territory upon which your divine institu-
ton of slavery could be planted. That
is the verdict of impartial history.
That was a grand day, in the opinion
of the apologist for slavery who edits
the Gazette-a much grander time than
that othor time when million of the
flower of the young manhood of the
country sprang to arms to prevent its
disruption at the hands of the editors
friends. No good words has he for
these men. They were not standing
for the honor of the flag. They were
''hirelings," engaged in an uuholy war
fare against his friends. No glory
around the matchless struggle at Chick
amauga-the wonderful march to the
Gettysburg Wilderness-the
siege of Vicksburg. No laurel wreaths
for Grant, Sherman, Thomas. The glo-
~ and honor and hallelujahs are re-
served for Jeff Davis and the slavehold-
ers' raid upon Mexico.

ROORR ACKS

Republicans need not be alarmed if
the desperate Democrats resort to any
scheme of viIliany within the next few
days to compass the defeat of some of
our local ticket. 1t is understood that
scheme is in Matching to assault our can
didate for Sheriff, by affidavits from
unreliable or weak-minded persons. Re
sent any imputations upon his good
name He stands before his neighbors
without a blot upon his character, a
noble type of true and honorable man.
One fact alone which weighs more in his
favor than words can express, is that
although by over hundred majority, the
people of this township held opposite
political views, they called him time and
again to fill the most important office in
the township, that of Justice of the
Peace. Resent Roorbacks. Brand them
as lies-base miserable lies of malicious
enemies.
VOTE for James F. Tallman for Pro-
bate Judge. Twelve years ago he was
a candidate and was unsuccessful. Who
is there now to say that every interest
would not have been better subserved,
and thousands of dollars saved to those
whose business was transacted in that
office had he been the Probate Judge
during the six years which followed his
candidacy. Carping critics, some of
whom have not been permitted to have
their own way in business matters which
Mr.. Tallman was transacting under the
solemnity of an oath, find fault and
misreprseent, giving other causes for
their opposition. But it is salts
faction that most people who realize the
Importance of having a capable man,
an accommodating man, a man whose
Judgment can be relied upon in that of
flee, believe that Mr.. Tallman should be
elected to the position of Probate Judge.
Public policy, justice to an old soldier,
demand his election, and the count of
the ballots next Tuesday will proclaim it.

CURRENT TOPICS.

THE paragraph following find in the
Gazette, copied from the Ohio Vallsy
NelCs:
"The charge made by the Belmont
Chronicle, last week, against the candi-
date for Sheriff, from this place, We per-
sonally know to be false, and trust the
correction will be given place in their
columns and at once set right the wrong
done an honorable high minded gentle
man, though a Democrat.
The NelcS rushes to candidate Patter-
sons defense in too great haste. The
allegation made in these columns was
that Mr.. Patterson was undertaking to
work the saloons of the county in his in
terest. That allegation the anxious ed
itor says 1--WE personally know to be
false" How does he know that? Does
Editor Drennen desire the people to un
derstand that he personally" knows all
that is going on in the county? Pardon
me, Mr.. Drennen, but you do not know
any such thing. In the very nature of
things your declaration of personal
knowledge is absurd. 1t is presumed
you do not kRO1C that Mr.. Patterson has
undertaken to work the saloons in his
interest, nor does the clergy of Martins
Ferry, but it is possible many things are
being done in that quarter of which you
and the clergy are not advised.
