Another Republican has gotten
into trouble over in Ohio and will
lose his bride and some money be-
sides, owing to difference in opin-
ion in regard to politics. The case
in point is this /: During the last
Presidential campaign Delbcrt Leh-
man was engaged to marry Mary
Shull. He WAS an ardent Republi-
can and she an enthusiastic Demo
crat. At a Democratic pole-raising
she hurrahed for Cleveland. At this
he got up on his ear and cancelled
the engagement. She brought suit
for damages, and at a recent session
of the Lima District Circuit Court
was awarded $1,000 for the broken
engagement.

Quite m interesting incident oc-
Cured IN this little and prosper
Gus city last Sunday afternoon. The
Hon. j. w. Petit was one of the
leading actors. He is the imported
postmaster here and seems to have
been guilty Of some dirty trick OH
an honorable citizen of this county.
the particulars of which are un-
known to the writer at present. On
the occasion mentioned above, Mr..
Petit met Mr.. Harris at the Rail-
road Hotel and was promptly cow
hidcd by said Harris. The citizens
of the town are very much elated
over the matter az the Postmaster
has proven himself very obnoxious
to the patrons Of his office. The
people here have repeatedly asked
the Post Office Department to re-
move said postmaster, but as no
attention is paid toCur request il
is concluded that the Republican
party at Washington. gave this off.
&c and put him out here to get rid
Of him. 1t must have been very
interesting to the spectators TO see
such man publicly cowhidcd al
though not very pleasant for him.
All join in conceding it justice for
he is one Of tho Office seeking Re.
publicans, justly styled Carpet
baggers" and always used rs tools
for the party. The good people Of
the Republican party up here be-
lieyc that the government should
give such men pick, shovel and

some other positions We have

KREpRp LEGISLATION.

RL@DLD n1SLAAlON.
From circular letter sent out By
Tie President and Secretary Of the
West Virginia Editorial Association
we extract the following:
"At the last meeting OF the West
Virginia Editorial Association at
Huntington, held on November %
and 26, twas ordered. among other
things, that committee be select
ed to attend the organization of the
next Legislature to look after the
interests Of the newspapers. The
President is in correspondence with
publishers throughout the State to
ascertain those whose business ar
rangements will permit an absence
from home at that time before des-
lgnating the committee.
"As this committee will be at
some expense and their effort will
be for all the papers of the State, it
is desired that funds be raised by
voluntary contribution for the pay
mcnt Of their necessary expense
while at Charleston. If you feel
willing to aid the purpose any fund
you can give should be forwarded to
Mr.. j. Il. McGlothlin, Secretary,
Ravenswood, or Mr.. j. Slidell
Brown, Treasurer, Kingwood, eth
or of whom will promptly receipt
to you for the same"
A draft of bill that is proposed
to be introduced in the Legislature
and passed by it accompanies the
letter and is all right, but does not
go far enough. One Of the main
things for this committee to look
after, as discussed by the Associa-
ton at Huntington, is some changes
IN the law, so that we can be as
surcd of getting our pay for the
legal advertising we DO and get il in
a reasonable time same ms the clerks
and attorneys do their fees. AS it
now is, it is very uncertain when we
will get pay for some forms of legal
ads or whether we will get it ut
all or not. No one is held rcspon-
sible for it, as somebody should be,
and the result is that the printer
very often gets left. This is the
main matter that demands legisla-
ticn. We should first work to get
pay for what we have, and then try
to legislate for more work of this
kind as the bill sent out provides.
The circular issued does not indi-
cate the amount expected from each
paper, as it should, but in discuss
ing the matter in the Association, it
was decided that it every newspaper
in the State would contribute 81 90.
it would be triiling sum for each.
but enough in the aggregate to pay
the necessary expenses of the COM
mittee, and if any legislation was
secured, it would be money we'll in
vested. Tho papers should agitate
this matter, and insist on it, and
there is no doubt but that we can
get what we ask for, since it is sim :
pie justice. We have no doubt but
what Mr.. r. T.. IIorncr, President
OF the Association. will secure a good
committee who viii accomplish the
work intended, and no newspaper in
the State should hesitate to send in
the small sum of one dollar for such
a good purpose.

all closed up by January 1st and
start in the new year with clean
record. After that time accounts
that have been running for three OF
