OUR NEXT SHERIFF.

John Behan, ESQ.,, of West Columbia.
Dear RegiSter:-There is an axiom
in law, logic and ethics which un-
derlies our entire social and moral
institutions, and tells us: "The
person who suffers losses in any
cause, should reap also the advan-
tages to be CLEANED from the same,
should the experiment prove sue
cessful."
This first principle, founded as it
is in the Interchangeable laws of ma
ture, just exactly suits our un-
changeable Democrat, John Behan,
in every quality which renders
dignified manhood worthy of our
admiration and respect.
Now, Mr.. Editor, we do not feel
inclined to squander language in
trumpeting or praising our candi
date-such is not needed The sun
and the moon, the earth and the
stars over us, proclaim his honesty,
his-integrity, his sincerity, and the
purity of his moral virtues as a
member in our society.
All these admirable, and indeed
rare qualities, should have prac-
teal and benign influence on public
feeling, independent of political
considerations. He has, it is true,
used his time, his money and his
whole heart and soul influence all
his lifetime in the interest of De-
mocracy. and never craved, coaxed,
or expected any emolument for the
same. This is Democracy pure and
ungalvanizedl
Come forward, John; the Demo
Gratis, as well as countless other
friends in your county, duly appre-
ciate all this; and next Sheriff of
Mason county We are certain to
elect you with honor and honesty.
In justice, it is our duty to thus
make you our next Sheriff. Here's
to you, Behan.

Hon. James Capehart States His Position
on the Bland Silver Bill.
WASHINGTON, ID. G., Apr. A. 1872

w AsHINGToN, ~. u, Apr. A, ".
EDITOR JACKSON BUGLE-Dea,
Sir: In your issue of last week you
refer to my vote on the Bland Silver
Bill and say that in your opinion
Messrs. Anderson, Pendleton and
myself entertain an erroneous idea
of the wishes of our constituents on
that question. L can only speak
for myself and say that 1 felt that
was virtually acting under instruct
ions. 1 was elected to Congress in
1890 and in that year our State
Convention and tie Congressional
Convention in the Fourth District
in their platform, declared for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver.
In voting for the Bland bill, ]
believe that represented my people
faithfully. If they have changed
their minds on this subject since
1880 / have not been made aware of
the fact, / do not believe that such
is the case.
Respectfully yours, etc,
j. CAPEHART.

A SUBMARINE BOAT
Tested Mt Detroit and Proven a Success
In Every Particular.

Tested mt Detroit and Proven q Success
In Every Particular.
DETROIT, April 1.-THE nameless sub
marine boat that has been building here
the past winter was Saturday given a
thorough trial under water, and was
proven to be success in every particu-
lar. With crew of three ON board, the
boat started from its docks on the River
Rouge, just below the city, and at first
SKINNED along over the surface toward
the Detroit river. It was then sub
merged, going down gradually and
under perfect control of the pilot.
Under water the boat was able to attain
a speed of over ten miles an hour. to
turn around, rise or sink with the great
est ease
The boat was submerged several
times under different circumstances and
proved that the peculiarly constructed
propellers were well adapted to their
purpose. 1t was proven that in sinking
or rising the boat maintained hori-
zontal position, matter of great inn
portance in submarine boat. The
boat is equipped to run by steam power
while on the surface, but underneath
the water the motive force comes from
a powerful electric storage battery. the
cells being charged by the same engine
that runs the boat on the surface. The
trial was perfect success, and showed
that submarine boat is not only posi-
BILE, but practicable.
The advantages of such craft fol-
torpedo service in harbor defense in
times of war will be readily suggested
to naval engineers. The present boat
was built only as an experiment.. 1t is
of the shape of thick cigar, with
pointed ends and compressed sides, being
40 feet long, Ia feet deep and 8 feet
beam. Its inventor is George G. Baker,
of Chicago, who was formerly at the
head of the Baker Wire company.

Sister Simpson styles our article of
last week, in which we called atten-
tion of the colored voter as to how
he was being duped by the bosses
in the Republican party in the
county, "a fling at the colored peo-
pie of the Republican party" Why,
bless you, girl, we did nothing more
than to warn the colored voters of
this county of their treatment at the
hands of the white Republicans.
We showed clearly to the mind of
any colored man, (and you know it
as well as anyone0 that without
the negro vote in this county, no
Republican could be elected to any
Office in the county. The colored
voter gave you whatever majority
you have had in this county here
tofore. Your party dupe and de-
ceive them by now and then giving
a few of their number seats in your
conventions as delegates, and then
make them believe they have been
more than repaid for their fealty to
the Republican party. Why don't
the Republicans nominate one or
two of their colored brothers on
the county ticket, and give them a
fair show for the loyal support they
have for these many years given
the Republican psrty. We don't
look upon the negro voters as fools
by long ways, if your party does,
and they will hardly construe our
article of last week as a .fling" at
them. live mistake not, they will
demand of their party, as they
should, fair representation upon
the Republican ticket of this county.
If they are refused a place on the
ticket they ought to have manhood
enough to "kick," and show the
Republicans how they can't get
along without their votes.

ABOOM FOR TIPPETT FOR AUDITOR

A BOON FOR TIPPETT FOR AUDITOR
ssKannwha'' Says Good Word for Him.
Cor. Wheeling Register.
desire in this to say good word
for that veteran Democratic editor
Hon. Geo. w. Tippett, the founder
and continuous editor of the Point
! Pleasant REGISTER, for the past
thirty years. He has been fearless
in the defense of Democratic prin-
eipies, and no editor has been a
harder worker in the campaigns
than he.
He has never asked the Democ-
racy of this State for an office. nor
even the Democracy Of his county.
he has been an ardent advocate of
the public men who have held Office
in this State, and who are now
holding office. He has gone on
from campaign to campaign doing
his duty fearlessly as Democratic
editor, supporting the nominees of
his party with all the power and
ability he possessed, and they, in
turn, should show their gratitude
to him for services rendered them
by helping him get the nomination
for State Auditor.
There is no more popular man in
Mason county than Mr. Tippett,
and should he get the nomination at
Parkersburg from the Democratic
convention, / have no hesitation in
saying that he would carry this
county by one thousand majority,
and his own county by big major
ity, and the Third and Fourth Dis
tricts by the largest majorities that
were ever given to any Democrat.
He is worthy and deserving of
recognition at the hands of the De-
mocracy and would make an eff
cient and popular State Auditor.
No man is better known in the
State than Mr.. Tippett, and where
ever you go you will find that he
has friends.
He has never been mixed up in
any of the broils in his party, and
therefore, has no enemies in the
party in his county, and there is
not Democrat in the county but
who would rejoice at his nomina-
ton. We trust that the Democra-
cy of this State win not expect an
editor to devote his whole life to
the service of the party, and then
when he asks for a nomination at
their hands to look upon his request
as piece of audacious impotence
on his part, as is commonly the
case.
Reward worthy man with the
nomination for State Auditor. By
nominating Mr.. Tippett for this po-
sition the Democratic party will be
doing justice to one of the best par
ty workers in the State. and at the
same time will add popularity and
strength to the State ticket.
1t would be we'll for the Demo
Gratis in selecting a candidate for
State Auditor to remember that all
of the other aspirants for that of
fee, except Mr.. Tippett, have been
pretty literally rewarded by the
party. KANAwHA.

If we get together and forget all
our little differences, and nominate
a good county ticket, and make
the proper effort, the county is dem
ocratic, and can be carried for the
democracy. But without a well

doubt. 1t is well for Democrats to
consider these things now, while

The speech of Mr.. Menager was a
