THURSDAY, AUG. 13, 1891.
THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.

The ticket nominated by the Demo-
Gratis on Tuesday, meets with the general
appreciation OF Republicans. The ticket
is composed of average men, but none
of them possesses any special strength
and the ticket will not secure any Re
publican votes, while it may lose some
Democratic votes. All the men NOM
mated are comparatively unknown, and
none are men of affairs. Mr.. Myers is a
farmer of Mead township, but, as a
Democrat was heard to remark, he
would not make any impression in the
Legislature. If elected he would vote
with the Democratic party on everything,
and further than that his voice would
be unheard on the floor. He may be
able to poll his party vote on the ac-
count of the issues at stake, but he is
not man to draw votes from the op-
position. Slow of speech and apparently
retiring in disposition, he will prove a
weak candidate. Although Mr.. Myers
personally has the reputation of gen
tleman, and we shall treat him as such,
vet his views on the tariff and financial
questions are certain to be condemned
by the people of Belmont county. Had
there been any show of election Mr..
Myers can rest assured that he would
not have been the candidate.
The other candidates also have the
stamp of respectability, but principles
as well as men will be considered by the
voters. This is, in fact, perhaps the
most respectable county ticket ever
nominated by the Democrats, but it was
done simply because none of those who
usually control the nominations cared to
waste any money on a hopeless case.
But withal is is weak ticket, and one
the weaker in that it will not appeal to
the elements which have heretofore con-
tributed to aid the party success.

THE benefit and necessity of club
organization is becoming more apparent.
In 1888 the Democracy hooted at the
club system adopted by the Republicans,
but now on recommendation of Mr..
Brice, of New York, they are organizing
similar clubs. The work which can be
done by this means has been demon
strated. We have many such clubs
already, and every township in the
county should be thus organized. Re-
publicans, get together and form clubs
in every township and old Belmont will
give Mckinley 1000 majority. this fall.

To the Afflicted.

There is no longer an excuse for hesiten-
cy on the part of any sufferer from a
chronic ailment to consult and engage
the services of Drs. France & Ottman,
and an observance of the crowds that
throng their parlors for single day might
well be taken as evidence that such hes
itency does not exist. The doctors are
certainly wonderful men. Their rapid
reading of disease manifestations and ap
plication of remedies to their cure can
only be accounted for by the law of special
adaptation or intuition. They prescribe
for from four to five hundred patients
every four weeks, and they not only in
stantly recognize. each patient but have
in mind every feature of their disease,
and note every change in their condition
without reference to the written records
which they keep alone, for their future
statistical value. They possess powers of
mind and penetration accorded to but
few human beings. Don't delay but con-
suit them free of charge.

The following pertinent item appears
in the local correspondence of the Free

bought last week in our community by
John Fordyce, of Brady; % cents is the
ruling price. There is one consolation to
the wool grower; he can buy more sugar,
salt, iron, nails, clothing, and even land
and everything else for 2S cents than he
could when he sold his wool for 80 cents.
