The sneering illusions to the
Democratic candidate for congress
as "Penniless George" by the Re
publican papers is pretty good
advertisement for Mr.. Neal. And
it carries with it the suggestion of
corruption that always actuates the
Republican party in its political
affairs. The idea that poor man
should presume to bea candidate
for office excites a sentiment of
derision in their minds, as they are
accustomed to view the matter as
one regulated wholly by Doodle
and Doodle. The Republican idea
of buying elections is well enough
for them and serves to remove the
poor man from the ranks of Office
seekers, but fortunately for the
country that rule does not hold
good among Democrats. Mr.. Neal
is making the race on his merits
and not as corruptionist. He is
a poor man, but he will lose no
votes on that account.-Parkers-
bnrg Sentinel.

Some people seem to imagine
that Judge Freer is going to do
something phenomenal in Richie
county. This claim very urgently
requires a bill of particulars. So
far diligent inquiry has failed to
develop a Democrat who is tinct-
tured with desire to vote for him
and we can find Republicans who
are not prepared to rip up their
under clothing in his behalf.

Many honest Republicans are
dissatisfied with the Republican
Ring ticket recently nominated
here. To all such, who desire hon
esty in the administration of the
affairs of the county, we would say
come over and help to elect tick
ct, that was nominated fairly and
honestly No Ring or set up tick
ct about it.

Our County Ticket.
The Democrats of Mason have
named their ticket and placed their
standard bearers in the field, and
we'll have they performed their
work. Indeed. it would be dif-
ficult matter to get a stronger tick
ct. Not only are the Democrats
delighted with it but many of our
Republican friends have spoken
many kind words for them. In
every instance it was case of the
Office seeking the man, and not a
set up ticket made by Ring,
and ratified by delegates. as was
the case In the late Republican
County Convention.
Our nominees for the House of
Delegates, Mr.. Chas. S. p Ed
wards, of New Haven, and Mr..
Chas. Bryan. Of Hannah, are
young men we'll known to the peo-
rle OF their respective sections of
the county, having always lived
among them. The first named Is
engaged IN the manufacture of
cigars and stogies, and is a man of
fine education and ability. Mr..
Bryan is farmer boy, and man
of splendid education, that pecu-
liarly fits him to perform the du-
ties of a Legislator. Both men
are scrupnlousIy honest and possess
characters that no word of reproach
can be uttered against them, and
which, if it was, their neighbors
would resent at once. They are
both deserving young men, and if
elected to the Legislature each will
be able to draw up a bill and present
it to the House intelligently. We
take pleasure in commanding these
young men to the voters of Mason
county.
Our candidate for County Su-
perintendent of Free Schools, Mr..
e. G. Roush, is a young man. who
has made school work his life
study, and has been a teacher in
our public schools Tor number of
years. He is thoroughly qualified
to fill this important position with
credit to the county, the teachers
and himself, and it should be the
aim of everyone who has the good
of the public schools at heart to
vote for him.
The candidate for County Com
missioner is MIR. Chas. E. MoCul-
Ioch, of Arbuckle District, a SPLEEN
did citizen, a good business man
and successful farmer. He has
lived among the people of this
county from his childhood, and it
is useless for us to speak words of
praise in his favor. But we will
say he is man of education, abili-
ty and honesty, and well qualified
to fill this most responsible posi-
ton. With him on the County
Court there will be no more rob-
bling of the taxpayers of the coun-
ty, nor will there be any debts piled
upon the county, as is the case,
now. when 100000 of a county
debt confronts the taxpayers,
brought about by a Ring-ridden
and mismanaged County Court.
The Democrats of this county are
proud to present the name of Mr..
McCulloch to the tax-paying vo-
tiers of Mason county, and rely
upon their good sense and good
judgment in seeing to it that he is
elected.

Cost Of the War.

to have cost the United States
about $3.50, GOO. 900, Sor a little more
than 81. 500. 900 for each of the ia
days during which It lasted The
actual disbursements for war pur-
poses from March, when the antici-
patory expenditures were made, to
Aug. 18th amounted to sos, 000,-
600. The remainer of the esti-
mates covers expenses on war ac-
count after the signing of the
peace protocol. The cost in hu-
man life so far as the American
forces are concerned, was much less
than was anticipated. The navy
had officer and 10 men killed,
and officers and 40 men wound
ed. In the army % officers and
236 men were killed; and 81 officers
