This is the last week Of the campaign
In Ohio, and the Republicans appear
to bs quite active and earnest in their
efforts to secure full vote. The lead
ers on the Democratic side are encour-
aging the rank aud flo Of their party
by loudly proclaimiug that 90 per cent
OF the Democratic vote OF '02 will make
Ohio Democratic this year This
proclamation lie, OF course, based upon
the doluslye idea that all OF the Repub'
licanI are not going to vote this year,
and has served tho purpose Of inject
ing more spirit into tho local organiza'
tionI to see that every Republican lie at
the polls.' That is the only thing
necessary to achieve decisive victory.
Over in Belmont county they have q
splendid ticket in the field and arc con-
lldent OF slecliDg every man on it,
There is no disRilecllOn there this year,
and the Republicans expect to make a
clean sweep in that county. For mem
bara OF the legislature they have Charles
]. Howard, a young lawyer OF Barnes
vile, who Is a sensible and conservative
man, and J, Il. Blackburn, OF BollAire,

but MIR, Lenlz's attempt to ride into
place by hiS connection with tax
payers independent organization il too
gauzy, and Mr.. Campboll's refusal to
oven sign protest gotten up by his
follow Workmeu against the passage Of
the Wilson bill, render both weaker
competitors than might have been
named to carry the Brice banner, not
an easy task Tor any pair, as against the
brilliant, brainy win, Vlgor and vic

The rest OF The Republican ticket iS
made up OF clean, capable men. For

ular gentleman, Madison Aldredge, OF
Martins Ferry, and for clerk Of the
courts Lawson Emerson, OF Bethesda,

while for treasurer tho present popular
and efficient Incumbent, Howard Kirk,
will DO reelected with the approval OF
about everybody that ever had business
With him.
Then there is A. S. Taylor. cripple,
who is up for recorder, IN excellent
man, in every way deserving Of the full
vote Of his party, while for commission.
or George Nj. Wise is just such a man
as the Belmont county people have been
wanting for y0arS in that office. There
will be no trouble about any part OF
this ticket II all tho Republicans over
the river do thOir duty this day week.
II 10 an exceptionally good one from top
TO bottom. aud the people OF Belmont
county are pretty good judges as to
whom they want to serve them, il past
results are a good basis to figure on.
Tho county gave about 200 plurality
last fall for the Republican ticket, and a
county like Belmont is not likely to
change a groal deal in single year.
