To-day is electioD day in Martins
Ferry. Every candidate on the ReDub-
lIcan ticket has worked hard since tbs
primaries to attain at this election the
formerly large majorities, not partiCu-
larly for the benefits they will derive
from the offices. but for the good of
the party, and their efforts should be
rewarded by the solid and undivided
party vote. 1t Is the duty of every Re-
publican to vote to-day and vote right,
and eudeavor to get out the entire vote
With this accomplished handsome ma
jorltles win be attained and the entire
Republican ticket elected, and above
all the Mckinley administration en-
dorsed. The majorities at this election
are significant as to the outcome Of the
election here in the fall, therefore, they
cannot be too large. The Democrats
claim 1t has no national significance.
Republicans! Don't allow them to pull
the wool over your eyes. Their state
ment is merely for effect and to gain
Republican votes.
Judge John S. Cochran, the Republi-
can candidate for city solicitor, when
spoken to yesterday concerning the ar
tIcle in yesterdays Register, made the
following statement:
IT published the certified statement
of the clerk, showing that for the year
since March 20, 1899, there has
been paid to the solicitor $755 IS.
Mr.. Cooke now claims he only re-
celved $3.50 So of this amount, and that
$40 was paid to another attorney and
that w. B. Francis received the bal
ance. also revealed the fact that the
solicitor has not drawn the last quar-
ter's salary, which ut the same rate
would amount to $1SS. or total Of
s94s So for the year; that outside attor-
neys were employed in three cases in
the common pleas court for which they
were not yet paid. All this is true, ev-
cry word Of it."
Were you ever interviewed by any
members of council as to the liability
or non-llabilIty of the Wheeling Rail-
way Company for pavlng?"
II positively was never interviewed
by any member OF council, nor did
ever give that body or any onse else an
opinion as to the liability or non-lIabLl-
ity Of the wheeling Railway Company
for paving. Any statement to the con-
trary is absolutely false and base
fabrication promulgated by Mr.. Fran
els on Saturday to aid his election.

solicitor from May to January. have
never had doubt Of the railway
company being liable for this paving.
The truth is they only did pay ultimate
~ because they wanted other concesS-
ions on other streets. Mr.. Francis
seems to take all the glory and give
none to council in this settlement.
While served as solicitor saved the
city from n 5000 verdict in n suit
brought by w. B. Francis for Albert
sapp against the city, a judgment for
costs going against his client"
