Rev. Joseph A. Hammond,
CANDIDATE FOR THE REpuBL1cAN
NOMINATION. FOR ASSESSOR IN THE
LOWER DISTRICT, HARRISON
COUNTY.

Rev. Joseph A. Hammond was born
on Lambert's Run, this county, May 8,
1851, and is son Of Joseph Hammond,
senior. He picked brushas far backas
he can remember and he says he can
remember when he was weaned. He
helped his father on the farm until he
was - years old, and then grubbed s
acres for him at 81 per acre. This was
the first money he earned with which
to educate himself. lie first attended
schoola at Flemington College, Taylor
county. After few terms there he
went to Waynesburg, Pa, College. He
then taught five terms of school, three
of them in one place. In 1878 he en-
tered the Methodist Episcopal minis
try, preaching with power and in the
fear of the Lord at different points in
this and adjacent counties. Exposed
to al. kinds of weather his health be-
came broken and he was compelled to
enter the NJ. +. hospital at Brooklyn,
\. V, In the summer Of 1895, where
he underwent treatment for > weeks.
Being pronounced by that institution
an incunble, his conference super
annuatedhim and placedhlm on the re-
tired list the following fall. For two
years his life was despaired of, but
since that time his health has improv-
ed considerable, so that for some
years he has been able to do almost an
average amount of work of various
kinds. In 1896 he was candidate for
the Office Of assessor in the Lower dis
trict and received largely the second
vote in the convention, which he
thinks ought to be something in his
favor this year. He. sayshe has voted
the republican ticket for % years with
out receiving an office andhas not only
supported the party all these years,
but has made some provision for its
future welfare, having four full tiedged
republican boys to I'LL the ranks later
on. Rev. Hammond has not only his
loyalty toand activity in the party to
his credit, he possesses also the ability
to fill the office to which he aspires,
with credit to both himself and the
party. Itcannot be gainsaid that
man of his high character would not
discharge the duties of the office faith
fully and with integrity.

Isaac L. DAVIDSON
CANDIDATE FOR REPUBLICAN NosIl-
NATION PoR ASSESSOR, LOWER
DISTRICT, HARRISON COUNTY.

Isaac L. DAWSON, Of Wallace, is a
candidate for the republican nominal
tion for assessor, Lower district, of
Harrison county. Mr.. DAVIDSON Is a
son Of John II. DAVIDSON, ESP and
was born on Big Rock Camp April 30,
1866. His father served in the civil
war three years and was a comradc OF
Major A. G. Moore, Captain JIG. Ay
ers and other Harrison county war
veterans. Isaac DAVIDSON received a
good common school education and
taught.a short while. Farming Is his
occupation, but he is in poor health
and incapacitatcd to perform the
manual labor necessary for the success
full conduct OF a farm. He and his
people have always been l,yal republic
cans and good party workers in Sardis
district, one of the leading republican
districts Of the county. He has helu
no public Office and never sought any
except the assesSorship. This Is his
third time in seeking the office. Jesse
Hagerty was his successful rival the
first time and four years ago Jesse G.
Lawson knocked the plum, with Mr..
DAWSON second. At that time, he
says. he was assured that he should
have the nomination next time and he
feels that his being the Oldest candi-
date should have some weight and en-
titles him to the nomination. 1Iesays
this is his last time to seek the nomi-
nation any way. Mr.. DAVIDSON isan
earnest party worker, true to its prin-
ciples and energetic in their dissent
nation. He is a Christian gentleman
and has been class leader in the NJ. T..
church, on Rock Camp. He has been
appointed one Of the census enumera-
tors for Sardis district and enters upon
his duties as such June l. This will
deprive him of the opportunity to
make any canvas between May 81, the
date of the primaries, and June5, the
day of the county convention. His
canvas will be necessarily in the hands
Of his friends at that important juno
ture. We have no doubt that the as
sessorship would be in good hands, If
entrusted to Mr. DAWSON.

Lafayette c. Grille
FOR THE REPUBLICAN,
NoMIN ALTON FOR HOUSE OF DELE
GATES FROM HARRISON COUNTY.

How would it do to nominate Mr..
Lafayette G. Grille as a republican
candidate for the legislature? Ilei a
sclf-made young man.
Mr.. Grille is well and favorably known
as a young man Of good talent, good
habits, thoroughly temperate and
moral. He has filed the position Of
Commissioner of Chancery under an
appointment by the judge OF our cir
Gust court for several years with salts
faction to the members of the bar, to
parties interested, and to the court
as we'll. At the city election last year
he was elected bya handsome majori-
ty to the very important office Of AS
SCISSOR of the city, performed his duties
faithfully and well, and was reelected
this year because Of the satisfactory
manner in which he discharged his
duties last year.
Having been left an orphan at three
years Of age and being in humble cir
cumStances he, together with his
| OfutIlcrS anu sSlcfS, WdS placed IN
charge Of strangers To be raised, and
never knew a fathers tender care, As
soon rs he was old enough he worked
on the farm by months work and. at

graduating the West Virginia Uni
vcrsity in his twcnty-cighth year, hav-
Ing paid his expenses by the proceeds
Of his farm work aud by some money
loaned by kind friends.
From his wcll-known energy OF
character il is believed he would Wig
orously represent the interests Of his
constituents with fidelity and ability.
From his early teW,dings and expert
ences he is in full2sympathy Within
farming interestSof the country.

friends, takes an honest pride in the
belief that he can render splendid SER

is to do something for the welfare of

cellent Judgment and painstaking in
all his work. lie is Il local debater of
power and enjoys an enyiable record
in his neighborhood, having proven
himself a terror to the democrats and
populists in exposing their Sagaries.

William E. Leonard
CANDIDATE FOR THE REPUBLICAN
NOMINATION. FOR ASSESSOR IN THE
UPPER DISTINCT.

Longfellow's poem, "Thc Village
Blacksmith, vivid and pretty in It's
description of life at the anvil, appro-
priatcly applies to w. h. Leonard, of
Salem;
ellis brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whatever he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any mtn."
Mr.. Leonard was born January IA,
1858, and has been resident of Salem
20 years following his trade all that
time, and conducting one OF the best
regulated blacksmith shops in the
county. He is also a wagon and car
riage dealer, enjoying an extensive
patronage. He has been useful in the
municipal affairs Of his town and serv-
ed s years rs member of its council.
He haSdeyoted himself closely to his
trade and always you can hear him
swing his heavy sledge,
"With measured beat and slow,
Like a sexton ringing the village bell,
When the evening sun is low.
s'Tciling, rejoicing, sorrowing,
Onward through life hcgoes.
Each morning sees some task begin,
Each evening sees 1t close;
Something attemptcd,s something done,
Has earned nights repose.'
The same may be said of him about
his party fealty and splendid political
service. He is loyal and active in the
affairs Of the republican party, and
when the party failed to nominate
him for the aSsessorship in 1896, he
went to work with will to elect his
successful rival. He is a gentleman
of genial disposition, sociable, intelli-
gent, aiIable and posted on all current
subjects of moment, enjoying a wide
acquaintance and always gathering
around him a host of friends. He is a
man of orders, belonging to the Ma
SONS, odd Fellows and knights of
Pythias. His district, Tenmile, with
its host of republicans, thinks the
party owes him the nomination. There
is no doubt that he would make an
honest, efficient assessor,
The party might well consider his
party labors in the light of that in his
shop and by his nomination say of the
party's glorious destiny:
THUS at the flaming forge of life,
our fortunes must be wrought:
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought.

Cyrus Thompson
FOR THE EEruBLIcAN
NOMINATION. FOR ASSESSOR,
LOWER DISTRICT, HARRI-
SON COUNTY.

Cyrus Thompson, who seeks the re-
publican nomination for the Office OF
assessor in the Lower district, is a
prominent resident and farmer of Clay
district. He is son of John G..
Thompson, deceased, and was born
and reared on Coon's Run, where he
now resides. His father was an ex-
tensivc farmer and stock dealer and
shipper. He bought hogs, sheep and
cattle from nearly every farmer in
Harrison county and was favorably
known by every one and immensely
popular. None knew "Unclc" John
&. Thompson. but to like him. He
was manof strict integrity, and hon
est in his dealings. He was true blue
in republican politics and could al
ways be relied upon tovote the ticket.
'suncle" John was heard to say once
that he would vote the republican
ticket, even if he knew hewas wrong.
an assertion he could safely make, as
no man could be wrong in voting that
ticket. Cyrus Thompson inherits all
the noble qualities of his father and
does himself credit in following the
example set him by his father in poll
tics. one never runs across better
republican than he is and, for that
matter, one seldom finds better all
round man. He is a man of expert
cncc in determining values of personal
property, as well as real estate. That
experience fits him well to discharge
the duties Of the assessorship, and we
doubt whether any man could be found
to perform those duties more faithful
~ and better than he would. He has
a whole host of brothers, all republic
cans and have been all their life. Con-
sidering their number and their party
faithfulneSS, it would seem that the
Thompson family has some claim on
the party, and Mr.. Thompson's friends
think the proper way to recognize the
political work of that family would be
To nominate and elect Cyrus Thomp-
son assessor.

Col. John w. Carpenter
CANDIDATE FOR THE REPUBLICAN,
4 NOMINATION FOR HOUSE OF DELI
GATES FROM HARRISON COUNTY.

~
Col. John w. Carpenters ancestors
were without spot or blemish. His
grandfather John w. Carpenter, was
born in the City OF London, aud came
to Virginia, now West Virginia, in the
18th century. His father, John W.
Carpenter, was born in Bridgeport,
4 this county. He died comparatively
young and left widow, Mrs. Sallie
Taylor Carpenter, with 3 small boys
to maintain, the eldest Of whom,
Frank Carpenter, now holds the posi-
ton of State geologist, located at
Denver, Colorado. John w. received
a common school education, stood hlgh
in all his classes and was leader in all
the youthful sports, and no boy couid
strike ball harder or make a base
quicker, orcatch lem on the tly better
than little John. AT an early age he
had to maintain himself and relieve
his mother Of the expense. He was
noted for his ability to break wild
colts and, If trained, would have done
honor to Buffalo Bill's Wild West most
perilous performance. Although born
poor and subject toa hard struggle in
early life, he is NOT Il self-made man.
God made Col. Carpenter and made
him ''in his own image" For four
years he ran on the Il. 81 0. railroad
on what was then known as the st.
Louis Express and no man ever held
the throttle with less fear than young
John. He was married in 1871 to Miss
Stout, of near Bridgeport, and has
raised five children, three sons aud two
daughters, in whom the good charac-
ter OF the Carpenter family has not
been lowered. He has lived In Salem
for the last II years, in which time,
by his pluck and energy, he has ac-
cumulated quite fortune. lie is the
owner of two farms, works 30 odd span
Of fine, big horses of his own and is
foreman of all the transportation of
the South Penn Oil Company in that
section of theState. He was selected for
the position on account OF his fine
Judgment, andhe is a hustler as cyldenc-
ed by his success. He is the only ma
tive of Harrisoncounty residing in the
county on whom has been conferred
the 32d degree Of Masonry. Nearly so
years after The death Of his father, he
erected tine granite monument at
the head of his fathers grave. In
politics he is true republican and in
his infancy he was nursed on rcpubli-
can milk. II selected by the county
convention, as n candidate for the
house of delegates, he will not allow
the republican banner to trail in the
dust. II he fails to be nominated, he
will be found Juggling at the rope to
bring up his successful opponent with
such a majorityas no man in this coun-
ty has ever before received. Mr.. Car
penter is intensely popular and to
know him is to like him. He has
heart as big rs a horse.
Mr.. Carpenter, if nominated, will |
be elected, and with his fine physique,
pleasant. address, debonair manners,
good ''horse sense" will do credit to
the grand old county of Harrison.
