Thursday and Friday, and the Belmont
county delegation left over the
B. & 0. yesterday morning The del
egates went west on No. 1903. which
leaves Bellaire at 9:44. The delegation

ison Aldredge, st. Clairsville; Hon. J..
A. Blackburn. D. H. Darrah, Esq, Bel

third nomination for State Treasurer

ACROSS THE RIVER
AWAKENING REPUB LICAN
DELEGATION LEFT FOR COL
UMBUS YESTERDAY MORNING.
CONTEST ON AT MARTINS
FERRY AND FLUSHING.

While Republican politics, owing to
the proximity Of the party conventions.
has thus far pretty generally monop-
olized the attention of Ohio folks in
terested in such affairs, considerable
talk is also beginning to be heard
among Democrats in the Belmont
county towns across the river. Not
since the days of fighting James E.
Campbell, ten years ago, have the
Democrats carried Ohio in guberna-
lorlal campaign, but the outlook this
year is considered bright for the
Democracy and a corresponding ex
uberance of spirit is evidenced by the
rank and file. That there are circum
stances which justify this opinion no
one who is familiar with the conditions
to be met with in Ohio this season can
gainsay. That the situation is not as
surfing, Republicans frankly admit,
while they at the same time express
conviction that the ripples of discon-
tent that give promise OF breakers that
might imperil and finally swamp the
old ship in the fierce mallstrom of in
terneclne war, may yet prove but
murmur of admOnitiOn before the great
hurrah of party victory.
Whatever may be the issue and the
outcome in the fall, when party lines
have been drawn and the campaign
fairly launched, the issue with Demo-
Gratis at present is exclusively family
affair and has to do with the selection
of candidate for governor who shall
lead them in the inevitable ARRAY be-
fore them. AS might be expected from
the possibilities which present them
selves to the Democracy this year,
there is no dearth of candidates AID a
score or more of the States fair sons
are receiving bouquets from enthus
iastic and devoted admirers. OF these
there are none, however, receiving
more attention or testimonials of sup
port than Hon. John l.. LentZ. con-
gresham from the Twelfth District,
which comprises in it's limits the city
of Columbus. Lentz is particularly
strong in the district across the river,
and Belmont, his native county, which
takes commendable pride in the dis
tinguished service he has performed for
his State and the nation, will send to
the convention solid delegation which
will not leave a stone unturned to en-
compass his nomination. A similar
sentiment appears to pervade each of
the counties of the Sixteenth District,
and may be said to be disseminated
pretty generally throughout the east
ern portion of the State His friends
call him the Bryan of Ohio,' and say
he is the embodiment of anti-Hanna-
ism. His vigorous attacks upon the
administration in the House last win
ter have hrOupht 1lDOn him thn exa-
Grafton of the Senator from Cleveland,
and if nominated there will doubtless
be an element of personal animosity
injected into the campaign. Lentz,
however, is a born fighter and is ack-
nowledged to be easily the peer of any
platform orator in the State.
