In the short time that DR.. Charles
Lincoln Smith has been in our city he
has gained the confidence and good will
of our wealthiest citizens, who have
been In his siiilful hands. Many peo-
pie have therefore. seemingly gained
the erroneous Impression that his
charges are beyond their means and as
n consequence have refrained from WIS.,
itirg him when they really require the
services that he can alone render them.
DR.. Smith desires It expressly UNDER
stood that his charges are within the
reach Of all. The laboring man. me-
chanic. clerk. merchant or banker are
equally liable to defective vision. and
the doctor treats people from every walk
In life. II YOU are suffering from any of

eyes require attention, remember that
It costs nothing to gain DR.. Smiths
opinion. Consultation Is free TO every
one. and that you can be advised exact
ly us TO what is wrong and what the
glasses necessary to correct the defec-
ton will cost.
DR.. Smith urgently requests that all
who are suffering in the least dcgrnc
from impaired vision or It's consequent
ailments. come to his rooms and enjoy
the privileges OF II free consultation.
There Is absolutely no charge until YOU
are satisfied that he can render you the

The general committee for the

A LITTLE UNPLEASANTNESS
Among Republican Clubs During the
March Through Pleasant Valley.

Among Republican Clubs During the
March Through Pleasant Valley.
There was little unpleasantness
among members of the Rough Riders
and Six Footers during the march
through Pleasant Valley Saturday
night, and as a result thereof, some
of the boys are wearing sore spots on
divers portions of their anatomies.
1t appears that the Six Footers were
trifie late in arriving at the rendez-
vous, and instructed the motorman on
their car to push right through the
line until they reached the place they
desired, or to which they had pre-
viously been assigned in the column.
The motormon was obeying instruc-
lions, but the Rough Riders refused to
open up.
The Six Footers then alighted from
the car, marched double quick along
side the Rough Riders until they found
place to their liking. They tried to
step in, and the Rough Riders resisted.
1t is said that there was a lively little
skirmish for a time, during which a
dozen or more dummy guns were
broken, and some Six Footers were
rendered hors du combat for the time
being.

WHERE PARTISANSHIP
IS BITTEREST
Apparently Incredible Outrages Com
mitted by Martins Ferry Republic

mitted by Martins Ferry Republic
cans.
II there is a spot in the United States
where Republican partisans are more
bitter than anywhere else, it appears
that Martins Ferry is that place. Four
years ago it will be remembered that
hoodlums in that city not only refused
to accord to representative American
citizen the common courtesy due
even to an alien, but denied to William
]. Bryan the right of free speech. Re
prehensible as was the conduct of the
gang of toughs upon that occasion. it
pales into insignificance in comparison
with the dastardly outrages which
were committed during the Democratic
demonstration Friday night.
When the parade was over, some of
those who were riding horseback, found
that knives had been stuck into their
horses. Four horses were cut while
the parade was passing the corner Of
Hanover and Fourth streets, and it is
said that it was the work of negroes
who stood there.
When partisanship so deadens all
sense of honor, decency and humanity
as to lead to vicious assaults upon
dumb brutes, it is a matter for regret
that the whipping post cannot be re-
established temporarily in order to pro-
vide adequate punishment for the
crime. The better class of Republican
citizens of Martins Ferry are as indig-
nant over this outrage as are the Dem
ocrats, and would be as we'll pleased as
the latter if the offending parties We're
brought to Justice.

To Save Taylor, and Some of the

= it.
The expose of the scheme to colon
ize Centre district with negro voters
from Clay has not added to the sum
total of harmony in the ranks of the
Republican politicians in this city.
Yesterday there was more kicking
among certain candidates over the
discovery that friends OF DR.. Taylor
were Offering to vote for any two
Democratic candidates who might be
named in return for Democratic
vote for Taylor. The offer is said to
have been made in number of in
stances.
1t has led to threats of recalcitra-
ton among Republican candidates in
several of the districts, who believe
that they have no votes to spare, and
who object to being sacrificed in the
interest of any one candidate upon
the party ticket.
