MARTINS FERRY.
The Democratic party has put up a
much stronger ticket this time for tho
spring election than ever before. They
are Richard O'Bierne, for Township
Trustee, against whom not word OF
suspicion can be breathed. He is an
old citizen and known by almost every
one TO be honest 10 all his dealings, In
dustrious and careful, still q free
glver when he thinks 1t is necessary,
and a life long Democrat, which cannot
be said OF his opponent on the Repub-
lican ticket, as he was bolter from his
party on the last spring election, and
for nothing else than that he was de-
feated for the nomination for City
Treasurer. Next comes the Township
Treasurer, G. w. Medill, who
was nominated by the Democrats
i'm opposition 10 Fred Fox, of the
Dollar Savings Bank of Bridgeport.
Mr.. Fox was a candidate for the nomi-
nation against e. A. Clark, who has
filed that position for several years
with credit, and the cause of Mr..
Clark's defeat for the nomination was
on account of the two banks at that
city, each having 4 candidate in tine
field so as 10 secure the money deposit
for three respective plans which showed
plainly that the only interest they had
in IL was a money making scheme,
which is not always a benefit to the tax
payer or for his personal interest in any
shape. The party have also excellent
timber for the city officers. Capt.
Richard Stewart for Council from the
First ward needs no recommendation as
he has already served one term in
Council aud has made q good and eff
cient official. Then comes the Assessor
from the same ward; Tucker" ODOn-
nell, who is quiet and industrious
man; John Selby, for Council In the
Second ward, and VIM. Lewis and Thos.
Mears, both successful business men,
Of the Third ward. We can almost
guarantee If these gentlemen are
elected, along with those who hold over
ia Council, that we will not only have
the city we'll taken care Of, but that it
will be done with economy and TO the
! best advantage OF the city.
Politics were discussed more on the
streets yesterday than at any time since
the nominations have been made. The
talk seemed TO centre more on the nom
inees for township trustees than any
thing else, and quite number OF Re-
pubicans are kicking on account OF
three candidates boiling the ticket last
spring election, as we'll as the labor or
CARNATIONS because they ride on the
street cars during the labor troubles.
The local Carpenters Union met in
Wheeling Saturday night. They re-
ceived instructions from the National
Association to strike if their demand for
a 20 per cent. raise was not granted.
