fatal accident that had befallen his son, William
Vail, Jr., while blasting in silver mine in Mon

The letter bearing the sad news, and which had
been eight days on the road, stated that by an
accidental discharge Of the explosives he had sus-
tanned the loss of both eyes and also fractnre
of the skull, which rendered recovery almost i'm
possible. Young Vail was about 30 years of age
and unmarried.

Look Out For Frauds-

If any one calls ON you at your house
or place of business, calling himself a
doctor, and offering to sell medicines or
to treat you for any disease, and claiming
to be in any way connected with The
France Medical Institute Co., you may
rest assured that he is a fraud and a
swindler. We employ no medicine ped
dlers, and we never call on people pro-
fessiOnally at their residences, except at
their own request. Several skilled and
experienced physicians connected with
our establishment visit various parts of
the country solely for the purpose of con-
sulting with and examining patients who
can not conviently visit the Columbus
office. Each one of these physicians car
ries with him certificate bearing our
signature, and stamped with our business
seal, and any person claiming to repre-
sent us who can not present such Ger
tificate is an impostor.

GET OUT THE VOTE.

Next TUESDAY one OF tne greatest eleC-
tions in the history of the country will
be held, because it will decide the fiscal
and business policy of the Government
for years to come. The issues to be de-
cided are purely business ones of the
highest Importance to the people
Whether the present policy of the gov
eminent, which is bringing so much
of general prosperity, shall be continued,
or whether there shall be an entire
change in business principles and meth
ods, and an overturning of affairs which
will seriously cripple all departments of
trade; whether Protection or British
free trade is the more desirable; wheth-
er it is better to have sound national
currency, always good, and worth its
face value to the holder all over the civ
ilized world, or return to the system
known as the Wildcat or State Bank
system, which was guaranteed only by
ILc Uduh Iudt loouCu IL, dAU nOhlo OhAy
pass at par in the vicinity where the
bank was located, and sometimes not
there, are matters which deserve the
calmest judgment of the citizen, and
should be decided on plain common
sense principles such as one would ap-
ply to other important business trans
actions. For the encouragement Of Re-
publicans it may be confidently assert
ed that the prospects of the election of
President Harrison are much brighter
than at the corresponding period of the
campaign four years ago. The great
agricultural States of the West have re-
covered from their lunacy of two years
ago, and are wheeling grandly into line
in support of their old-time faith, while
the pivotal Empire State of the East is
placed by conservative men as surely in
the Republican column.
Ohio, which has most excellent State
ticket, will roll up her usual plurality,
and elect fifteen or sixteen Republican
Congressman out of the twenty-on one to
be chosen.
Belmont county, which gave President
Harrison S30 plurality four years ago.
certainly has no need to regret that
magnificent result. The Republicans
have ticket for district and county Of
fees which is unusually we'll composed,
and every man on it will be elected by
large majorities, if the individual mem
bers of the party are true to the trust
reposed In them.
Such being the situation, it is the
duty of every good Republican, be his
influence ever so small, to do his utmost
to secure the success of his party, and
and of every man on his ticket. The
principles of the Republican platform,
and the men on the entire ticket being
good enough, there should be no dis
gruntlement, but earnest, straight, solid
voting for measures and men alike.
Much Efficient work in securing full
vote can be done within the few days
that remain, and it is the imperative
duty of Republicans in every voting pre-
cinct to apply themselves to that good
work.

BANK BILLS issued by the National
Banks of Belmont county are just as
good as gold in New York, New Orleans,
and San Francisco. The thing to do is
to encourage that kind of money. Vote
down the Wildcat money of the Demo-
cratic platform.

"THE Democratic party has the su-
preme gall to assume, with an air of
patronizing ownership, the privilege of
debating just how workingmen should
vote. 1t claims to be the party of the
poor man. 1 grant that it ought to be,
for the poor have given it the strength
to live long enough to see its candidate
for the Presidency write against free
silver at the dictation of Wall Street,
long enough to see its National Conven-
tion frame a dishonest declaration in
favor of wildcat banks, long enough to
see the principal actors on its boards
squirm and shift with every wind to
catch the votes of poor men. Yes, the
Democratic party is the party of the
poor man, and if he continues to vote
that ticket he will never be anything
else than a poor man. Terrence v.

ORDERS for new machinery, and con-
tracts for factory extensions and for the
erection of new plants, aggregating
many hundreds of thousands of dollars,
have been placed in this country with
the condition that they be proceeded with
if President Harrison is reelected. If
Cleveland wins every dollar of these
contracts will at once be cancelled
This will mean a business contraction,
and the Inauguration of period of in
dustrial stagnation such as has been
rarely experienced in the history of our
country. Paralysis of industry falls
with blighting effect on the homes both
of the wage-earner and the farmer.
Workingmen and farmers are you ready
for such disastrous change?
