All Sorts OF Local 'Nowsn and Gossip from
the Glass City.
State Senator II. J.. Eckley, OF Carroll
county, has withdrawn from the con-
| g%ressional contest in his county and
Judge William Mccoy, Of Carrollton,
will be supported by hal delegation.
In the meantime the friends OF General
David A. Hollingsworth of Cadiz, are at
work in that county, as they are in all
tho other counties OF the district, and
are quite hopeful that the. man OF their
choice will be honored with the mamma
ton this time. Ex-Lieu,enant Governor
Richards, OF Steubenville, is well liked
and strongly supported by some OF the
best men in his county and is well
thought Of in other parts OF the district,
but tho boys for some reason do not
take kindlyto him and he will lose some
strength. In this county the situation
has not changed during the past week.
Senator Nichols and Colonel Poorman
are both confident OF securing q major
ity OF the delegates, which will give to
either the support of the county. The
delegates from this city, Colonel Poor
mans home, will alone make more than
one-third OF all he needs to secure the
whole county delegation, while at Mar
tins Ferry and GAINESVILLE his friends
are hopeful, and in q few OF tho rural
townships he is q sure winner, but it is
in the rural townships that Senator
Nichols strength lies and his friends
confidently count on more than 80 dele
gates for him. which will give him all Of
them.
The farmers alliance people are talk
ing OF establishing a store Of their own
here, whereby the members can be sup.
piled with the things they buy at first
cost. Tho organizationsSdo not include
all farmers, not even all of the thrftiest
ones, but arc composed largely OF that
class who want to make more money
with less work. They asked for propo-
sitions from some of tho store keepers
here, but after full consideration OF the
matter and knowledge OF the fact that
the glass workers, iron workers, brick
layers, knights. of labor and all other
organizations might make tho same de-
mand with equal reason, none of them
have as yet proposed to sell goods at
cost.
1t may BIO n straw showing which
way the wind is blowing to note the
fact that there was q. contest for state
central committeeman from this dis
trict, Charles NJ. Hogg, OF Cadiz, and
W. A. Hunt, OF St. Clairsville, being
presented, and, the latter not present.
Belmont, jefferson and Monroe coun-
ties supported Mr.. Hunt and Harrison
and Carroll Mr. Hogg, electing Mi. Hunt
by a large majority.
