Tomorrow being election day, the situa-
ton In Ohio is very interesting, ana es-
peCially is this SO in Belmont county. Inc
party leaders We're against BusnAell loI
the nomination for Governor at the LaIles-
vile convention, Nau going there as NaSh
advocates, ana when their faVorite was
turned down and Belmont county's can
didate. Frank Archer, was also defeated
for State Treasurer the party leaders are
now more interested In their candidates
/ for county officers than they are IN the
State ticket, and are willing 10 TRADE 20
gain their point. and especially can luls
be- said about the candidates for the Leg
islature and Auditor The Office OF Auu-
itor has been held 10y the Democrats I9I
years and il is this Office that the Repub-
leans are making the ndrQcSl IblN Aot
The Republican candidate Tor Auul'oI -
Madison Aldrdge, o. Martin s erIY wv

and he lis willing TO sdcruce any pa va
the ticket TO succeed, for he fully recos-
niZes this being his third attempt 10 Sc

chance His excuse for trading Emerson
the Republican candidate for Clerk, is
2 .rH 1nl. fe IN IL "a &c
| His habits are bad and he THINKS Such
men should be turned down, and Tor that
| reason he wants him traded for Aldridse.
The SedgWlCkS support does not add any
strength 10 Aldrdge. for they are very un-
popular with the best element of their
party, and for that reason Grant denies
that he is a candidate for the depuiyshlp'
| knowing full well hat he would be soon
turned down if IL became publicly known.
Another night against AldriGge is the dc-
ton he took against Bridgeport when he
was a member of the Martins Ferry
Water Board. The Bridgeport people,
both Republicans and Democrats. Will
never forgive him for his stubborn ana
selfish fight ia letting them have water.
II he had his way, Bridgeport would pe
without water to-day. He also depends
considerably upon the American Mechan-
les TO pull him through, as he is a member
of that order. and IL is reported that he is
also a member of the a. L. A. John
