iature Vesuvius that viii burst forth in
an eruption one of these days that will
make business for their tailor. The
loyal Republicans of Bridgeport, those
who have carried the party standard
in the many battles of the past twenty
years, are firing of the ofiiciousness of a
few self-constituted leaders, and mean
to give them a sitting down that will
make their teeth rattle. Much of the
smouldering opposition is directed at
the St. C~lairsville coterie, which main
tains branch offices at Bridgeport, Bell
aire, Martins Ferry and divers other
b~y-station5 throughout the county. The
court house faction has been playing
the balance of the party for suckers in
order to hoist themselves into State
Offices when the time shall come. 1t
was the machiations of these ambitious
ones that helped. to defeat Weems for
the nomination at Martins Ferry, and
the friends of the brilliant young at
torney are too a5tute to be put off with
any other explanation. 1t is under
strood a certain official up there wants
to run for treasurer of State, and IN
other n has his eye on the clerkship
of the Supreme Court, and they are
anxious to have Mr.. Gill with them
when his influence shall be needed.
Their attitude at the Martins Ferry
convention, when one of them was out
spoken in his opposition to Weems, is
now better understood than ever, and
his poultry, like Nash's chickens, may
return to their perch when the shadows
of November 7th close down upon the
booths and the ballots and the tyrant
tally sheets.

Dixie" Engle, whose Wheeling
friends are legion, brings his operate
farce comedy. The Real Thing" to
the Grand Opera House the first half of
next week. The play is constructed
solely to amuse. 1t has only the sem
blance of a plot, and abounds in bright
%specialties, catchy music, and novel and
original dances. The vocal numbers
embrace all the popular New York
music of this season, some OF which is
said to border on the classical. For the
proper Interpretation of the vocal and
instrumental gems, Manager Engle Sc
lected his cast from the concert halls
and vaudeville stage, and has engaged
a band and orchestra of carefully
selected performers, several Of whom
are solo artists. The comedy is clean
and devoid of sugestiveness, and never
fails to keep the audience in a roar.
THE Real Thing" has made a hit
wherever it has appeared, and will
doubtless be seen by crowded houses
here.

The voters in both parties over the
river have begun to realize that they
have in the person of L. Spence, DEM
ocratic candidate for Congress in the
Sixteenth district, a gentleman of the
old school whose ability, sterling hon.
est and simplicity of character threatens
to become wonderfully popular and car
ry the district with a land slide such
has not been seen since '92. From
all quarters Mr.. Spence is receiving
encouragement which shows the people
are taking unusual interest j nh his can
didacy, and if the voters once get work
ed up to the high pitch reached in '96
his election is assured. Not only does
Mr.. Spence's excellent business quallfi-
cations and his uniform fairness to both
the interests of labor and capital in the
past commend him to the voters, but
there is an u~ndercurrent in the Repub-
lican camp that the defeat OF the nomi-
nee of the Martins Ferry convention
would not be a calamity either to the
common people or to the rank and
file of the party. The fact that Mr..
Spence's opponent is accredited with
receiving his nomination through the
stealth and chicanery of Hanna and
administration influence and also by
indiscriminate resort to methods not
counted the most scruDulous or fair,
is reacting upon the voter and the re-
suit is certain to be manifest upon cleo
ton day.
A few days ago MI. Spence received
a formal notification OF his nomination
for Congress by the Democratic con-
vention at Steubenville, and yesterday
he gave out an open letter of accept
ance directed to the notification con
mittee and the people of the district in
general. The letter has the true ring
and is as follows:
SPENCE'S ACCEPTANCE.
MARTINS FERRY, o., Oct. 4, 1899.
''To the Honorable Committee, appointed
by the Steubenville convention; to the
Democrats of the Sixteenth District, n
otvars in sympathy with the principles
of the GAINESVILLE platform, greeting:
81 take this opportunity to signify my
formal acceptance of the nomination ten
dered me by the delegates of the Steuben-
vile convention on the Goth ult., and at the
same time express my high appreciation
of the great honor conferred by an action
which l hold was not only Impoverished,
but u~npurchasable. In entering upon the
responsibilities which are a part of and in
separable from the honor and dignity Of
such candidacy, L pledge myself to exert
every honorable means to my
election, and should it fall my lot to be
your representative in the halls of Con-
gress as well as your standard bearer upon
the field of political combat, it shall be
nv sole ambition to conserve the highest
interests of a constituency which is de-
handing representation for the man of
Drawn as muscle, as well as the man of
fortune, favor and position.
Trusting that the friends of the pr1nci-
pies laid down by the founder of the re-
public will one and all rally to the support
of the the ticket on the It'll of November,
I remain,
VERY truly and sincerely,

Senator Hanna will not cave stone
unturned to elect his man Nash Gov
ernor of Ohio this fall, and all the cam
paign methods which the boss has used
in the past, as well as a few new ones
invented for the occasion, will be called
into requisition. A few days ago a
circular letter was received by promi-
len party leaders over the river con-
tanning a warning against the agrees
sions of John r. Mclean. The letter
went on to state that if Mclean should
gain on an average three Republican
votes in every precinct in the State he
can carry the State. This indicates the
Republicans realize that their chances
for success are hanging by a slender
thread, which may snap On the 18th of
November and send them pell nell
down the tobog. There are 3,078 voting
precincts in Ohio, and a change of
three votes in each would make a diff
ference of $4,000 in the footings.

In the beginning of the beginning of
the worlds history, one woman and
one man were cough company for each
other and all the pleasures Of life were
derived by each from association with
the other. Solomon, the wisest of men,
required over 900 women to satisfy his
longings for the delights of female So
ciety. Other cases in history down to
the time of Brigham Young go to show
that man has required numberless wo-
men to satisfy his requirements for the
delights furnished by the society of the
managers of "Kelly's Kids" the most
delightful musical farce comedy of the
season, to absolutely reverse this or
der and they have engaged Miss Laura
Bennett, the sweet voiced human
nightingale, to give delight to thous-
ands of men. This mammoth fun pro-
Queer will be at the Grand tonight.

Theatregoers and lovers of Hoyt's
original methods, will hail with pleas
ure the announcement that his latest
and most successful comedy work, "A
Day and A Night" will be presented in
this city next Saturday, matinee and
evening, at the Opera House. The new
play has no lesson to teach; neither is
it hampered with any great plot. 1t
has, however, enough of a plot to serve
as a thread upon which to string a lot
of specialties and furnishes opportun-
tiles to introduce spirited and catchy
music, topical songs, dainty dances and
pretty women. The new piece has been
constructed much after "A Stranger in
New York" but it is said to be brighter
in dialogue, and the situations are even
funnier. "A Day and A Night" is the
most successful of all his farcical skts
that have emanated from the fertile
brain of this popular author. and he
has gathered together a remarkably
strong cast.

While there are hundreds Of dissat-
isfed Republicans in the Belmont coun-
ty towns on the other side of the river,
there is perhaps nor ~outspohen oppo-
sition to the powers that be at Bridge
port than elsewhere. This feeling is
not confined to a few d~isgruntled of
fee seekers, as is frequently the case,
but some Of the wheelhor5es of the
party are found in the list of kickers.
The revulsion emanates from a grow
ing sentiment that the Republican party
in Belmont county, as we'll as the ma
ton, is entirely too much boss-ridden
to suit the tastes of the average free
American, and it is a good guess to
make that party politics over there will
receive a turning up in the near future
such as it has not experienced for
years. Some of the county bosses are,
