Memorial Sunday.

Drummond Post, about forty strong,
and st. Clair Council, o. U. A. NJ, with
over sixty men in line, marched to the
Presbyterian church Sunday morning
and listened to a sermon by the pastor,
DR.. Alexander. The text was from the
18th Psalm, and the discourse was an
eloquent tribute to the Orders, and a
fervent and stirring appeal to the
patriotism of their members. DR.. Alex
ander showed how the ranks of the Grand
Army are thinning, and how the duties
which the Order now do so well, will one
day devolye on other Orders, and none
are so fitted to carry them on in spirit
and better as the o. Z. A. M. He spoke
of the portentous clouds that lower to-
day on the horizon &C our National life,
and urged those whose patriotism had
been tried in the terrors of war, and those
whose emblem is the fag to stand in
calmness and firmness as never before
for their country and its institutions.
A large attendance outside the s0cie-
ties was present, and the service was
most interesting and impressive.

In urging the claims of Monroe's
candidate for Congress, M. Cleveland,
the WOodsfield Gazette has this to say:
"The Republicans of Monroe county
are entitled to the nomination this year
and should have it. Not one of the other
counties of the district has been more
loyal to the Republican party through
all its years of trials and triumphs, and
has had less reward. Year after year the
true blue Republicans of this county
have worked earnestly and manfully for
the success of their party in the face of
Democratic majority OF 1000 or more,
and under the most trying circumstances.
We have held no elective offices, we have
received no appointments worth men
tioning, and yet we have never failed to
give the most liberal support to candi-
dates from other counties. The Repub-
licans of this county should, therefore,
select delegates that will stand by Monroe
county alone as long as there is reason
able hope of securing the nomination"

If the Carrollton Free Press speaks the
sentiments of the people, and not simply
expresses the wish of the writer, it would
seem that maybe Carroll county Is not
very loyal to Judge Taylor in spite of the
fact that he is their only candidate. 1t
is on second choice already. After in
differently recounting Judge Taylor's
claims. it says:
"Yet after all these considerations,
provided the Carroll county delegation
can not procure our own county's excel
lent candidate, we, for considerations of
personal sympathy and the public con-
siderations, that Col. Poorman was our
candidate two years ago, beaten by a
meagre majority, has filled public trusts
of small incomes, has an ability second
to no man in the district, we think the
members of our delegation should con-
slider him at furthest their second choice.

Wanted To Die.

Lizzie Lowry, a 16-year-old Martins
Ferry girl thought she was tired of life,
and on Sunday tied a clothesline about
her neck, fastened to hook in the cell
ing, and attempted to jump into the

ing, and she was cut down before life was
extinct. A well seasoned paddle, prop
erly and literally applied would probably
rid her of the notion of trying the act
again.

oratory, bis approachableness, his Amer

CONGRESSIONAL GOSSIP.
What In Said by Our Esteemed
Contemporaries.

What u Said py Our Esseemeo
Contemporaries.
During the past week the Congress
sional contest has beeu quite warm in
several townships and the heat is likely
to continue to increase until the prima-
ries are over on Saturday. For the most
part the contest is good natured, although
in one or two localities some questionable
work has been done by the circulation OF
absurd stories calculated to injure Capt.
Danford, one being to the effect that
Danford did not vote for Lincoln in 1850.
T le fight is fair and square between
Capt. Danford and Col. Poorman and
nothing can be gained for either side by
the circulation of false reports.
The issue in this county seems to be
well understood. Captain Danfort has
been in Congress, where he served with
distinction, an6 wants to go back. His
ability and qualifications need no COM
ment. Colonel Poorman has long pos
sessed the desire to go to Congress, and
though he has failed of election three
times, he would like to try again. Col.
Poorman's qualifications too are well
known. Which shall be Belmont coun-
ty's candidate in the Steabenville Con-
vention it is for the Republican voters to
determine.

There is growing feeling that if Bel
mont county gets the Congressional
nomination it must be through a united
delegation. and the feeling is to choose
delegates to the Convention who will go
to the other candidate from this county
in case their favOrite possesses less
strength than the other. Such a course
would seem to be good politics, and in
case men are chosen whose second choice
is Belmont county man, the plan may
be practicable, and deserves encourage
ment.

And the legend on his blanket read, "You

Another rode a raw-boned horse. stone

And one who bore tho banner-"We own

All hoping that Dame Fortune coy night
cast her smiles their way.
But here are two youngsters in the throng,
lads whom nc one knows.
On a blooded horse-"Promoters of Fine

And read upon their blazing shield the

With that honest reputation 80 well known

And then then the people understood as

There was h%urrying, there was skurrying,

Horses stumbled, men were humbled, as

Hours the rough and tumble lasted, and
the mud and feathers flew,
Till the str cam from off the horses hid the

But at last the fight grew feeble, and to
every ones surprise

The multitude went crazy, wild; it yelled
