County Nelehboyl
Yesterday the Legislature Of this
State met and Governor Mash sent his
message to same, and up to q late hour
'. fast evening the Governor had named
no one from Belmont county for any
position. This county has many appli-
cants. some who are on the quiet, and
those who are open in their claims
for a place under Nash are DR.. West
and D. H. Darrah, of this city, and Lee
roy Sedgwick, of Martins Ferry. Mr..
Darrah wishes to be railroad commits
sioner, and has been making a hard
fight for the place, but his outlook is
anything but encouraging, as the rail-
roads have asked the Governor to name
an experienced railroad man, and as
Mark Hanna is Nash'S boss, there is
no doubt but that Mark will stay with
the railroads, as he may need them
in the coming campaign. Mr.. Darrah
may have been a great Gill worker
and put forth much effort in his cam
paign, but now he faces the sphinx
Hanna, who knows that the crack OF
his lash places Belmont county in line,
and some petty Office will be sufficient
to subdue the ambition OF this county,
and the office will most likely be a
trustee of some asylum, but the party
must not expect any paying position,
and to those applicants who are not
known to Mark, we wish to extend our
sincere sympathy.
The Register predicted that the new
electric light company would turn on
light the first of the year, and the pre-
diction was true, as the company
lighted a portion OF the city last night,
the new lamps gave most excellent
light, much better than those in use
in the past. The work this company
has done in the last few weeks is
almost marvellous, and the citizens of
Bellaire should congratulate them
selves on having a company that will
give them such good service. Also, the
people should not forget the Council
who realized this need and gave the
new plant the contract, which not only
saves the city money, but gives it
light that is equal to any in the val
ley. Mr.. Keyser, who is the superin-
tendent, and who has worked SO hard,
had his reward last night when he
turned on the lights.
A. Klotz is in New York on business.

The Jr. o. U. A. M. met last night
and installed theft new officers.
Quite a contest has already started
for the nomination for Council on the
Republican ticket between the present
member and prominent saloon
keeper.
1t was announced yesterday that a
strong effort would be made to put a
good government ticket in the field for
the spring election, headed by C. C.
Kelley as Mayor. The rest OF the
ticket has not yet been named, but it
is said they will have full ticket.
This move is causing quite a lot of
worry among the Republicans and
bodies good for a Democratic victory,
as it will split the G. o. p, and that will
give the Democrats a good chance to
win. The party leaders have conclud-
ed to let the Republicans have their
fight, and united Democracy will gather
the victory.
