In this issueWaprinttheaimounce- (1888,Presideut merit of Jesse Taylor, of Jamestown, O,, who is a candidate for tire nom­ ination for Congress m this district before the general Republican pri­ mary to be held Tuesday, Fen. 11th. Mr. Taylor is eminently fitted to be­ come the Congressman from this district. His reputation as an ora­ tor extends beyond the confines of vius own coiinty, is, in fact, well known throughout the entire .Buck­ eye State, and if the Republican's of fhe Sixth place him in nomina­ tion fofc Congress he will make an old fashioned “ red-hot*1 campaign that will ibsiire one thing-—the re­ turning pjf.the district to fc’ e Repub­ lican* party by an overwhelming majority. - • ” Mr, Taylor was born in Ross township, Greene County, -Ohio, within a few miles of where ha now resides, Feb, 28,1861, anU his educa­ tion was secured in the public Harrison appointed him receiver of public monies of the /United States Land Office at Garden City, Kan., winch position he satis­ factorily filled until 1891. In 1896 he returned to Ohio, locating at Jamestown,, being ejected Cashier of the Peoples Bonk, one of the strong financial institutions of the County, which pi«sition he still holds. Mr. Taylor has the interest of the farmer at heart, having iarg* agri­ cultural interests, owning a large farm and conducting one of the lar­ gosband best appointed stock farms in the stale, besides being, engaged in the banking business in a town drawing its support entirely from agriculture. "■ In April, - 1896, he was elected Mayor of Jamestown, serving two terms. Again in. November, 185*5, he was elected Mayor of the town, declining,the nomination in lt*07, Mr. Tt. lor has always been ah at Boheotoo* fete township and at his- dent Republican.

In most of the counties the officers, will be nominated at the primary called by the state com­ mittee which will be held this mouth. This primary must-be held under the law with Republican and Democratic judges and clerks, so there will be iittle chance for crook cduess. It will be the first time, in the history of Greene county that a -Republican primary was ever held .under the law. Heretofore the pri­ mary was merely a party affair and the judges! It they ao minded,, and often they were in Cedaryille, could take the ballots from the hoses and change them to suit the desires of the machine, More-than once a candidate has been counted out -in thisi.manner, While other counties wfiinominate candidates’ for county offices the Ross m Xenia has opposed such a mpvo at this time,. He knew full well that a number of the man he proposes to run for office could not he nominated in a fair and square primary where tho votes are counted as .cast. Thinking that the leglsla- tui 3will not pass the compulsory primary act the Boss will take his ghances on waiting.. There seems to belittle doubt but that the Bron­ son primary bill will be passed. The, machine politicians, of both parties, arousing their power to have .the Huffman bill passed. This meas­ ure is said to be full of loop holes and will hot give the people the pro­ posed protection. A t the session two years ago, certain men in this county who are now holding office and will be candidates again, lob- fayeq against the primary'bill,' The professional politician , sees .the time is at band for bis kind of poli­ tics to cease and that thepeople will not stand for such work any longer, The statement in the Herald last week that O q L Isaac Dmeft, the one time Democrat, would like to haw the county trcasurerSbip. caused 'considerable comment among the fa^m in lM i,e e p ^ on, .'%m a .«an offer his name. One prominent cit- ixen stated' that he would not vote for him in the primary nor in the f'edarvjllc village Iici-etbfoi'o held the reputation of attracting more public attention than any oth<*r body known in the county^ It the Monday evening mooting it to bo taken as anexample, the pres-f cut body will he followhigv-plosc'Iy Its predecessors. One thing to be commended of the Monday evening meeting was the large attendance: on the part of the ^Hizents, There seems to be more interest centered on the present council than any that has served in a nipjdjjw of years. This is no doubiyfue to the faol that the people ara'goipg to demand something in return for the money spent, - The membetii of council'are elected by the people^ are publit servants, chosen to carry on the work of the village government.

I f n, majority oppose such improvements council must act accoi dingly. - Ail members wer^present at roll caUadd-the first buataWa transacted was the presentation, of a petition authorised by the directors of the Board of Trade a<$ui% council to call an election to ’ consider the change of the present style of light­ ing to that of e lectrocu ting of not less than twenty in^aijmber opposition to this measure* He I read an opinion from Proseoutor] Orr, another official who Gives this election to the gang, that it was contrary to law to raise the salary of on official during his term of office, Mr, Pollock declared that it was a direct steal on the treasury „ . , and that we do not need a marshal, c om m n s jm ^ marshal Iu the day time why have [ one at night?

The gang knew full well' that the people at large over the county would not stand for Foraker when a list of Taft delegates would he filed. The Taft list was filed with llie Board of Elections and will go alone in tho coming primary. Ce- darville township will be represent­ ed by Mr. Charles E. Gooley. Let there boa full vote at tbia primary and give Mr. Cooley a strong en­ dorsement. Thereto much speculation at this time as to who will carry the county in the congressional race.- With Jesse Taylor, Horace Ankeney and Clarence Schlient?, In the race the vote will bo considerably mixed. The professional politicians, Schmidt. Dines and the Andrew* Ridgway-Jackson trio aro behind Taylor, if that is to be counted tor anything among independent voters It is claimed by the/conservatives that Taylor has committed,political suicide by mixing with men of this type; Tho entrancoof Ankeney, who will without doubt receive nine-tcntjhs of church and anti* saloon vote?, Will mean a great loss to Taylor, who expects to overcome this by the strength of tho '.ounty “ miehlne.1' Schlient?, seems to be running independent of the pollfi* emus and factional qnarrels, mak­ ing a still campaign in his own be­ half. In this issue will ho found- the announcement of W, 0. Bishop, a prominent attorney of Batavia as a candidate for congress before the primary on Tuesday, February II, Mr, Bishop has always been a Republican of the old school and has never been an office bolder excepting those of local nature. Re is a graduate of the National Normal trnivorsity of Lebanon, 0. He was admitted to the bar in jflffi and has gamed quite a reputation as a lawyer. While Mr, Bishop may not bo so well known in this section of the congressional district -he him an exteffiiive acquaintance through mfi>**3froWn, Clermont, Highland iLwat'fon auu Clinton counties.

He men­ tioned tho need of electric lights in churches and public places, which was far more satisfactory than ’ gas. The statement was also made that tho present management- ot the electric light company was operat ing at a losi. and unless tho people gave then* support the town wonld be without a plant which would mean a great detriment to a town of this size. The cost to thechurch- es in changing the system would be several hundred dollars. Not only would rho gas piping be expensive but the loss in the present fixtures would be great. Tho present fix­ tures could not be used in any re­ spect if there wereno electric lights. The- Dr. covered ; the ground thoroughly and certainly voiced the sentiment of tho entire community.* Member Bull of Council spoke as a citizen on the light,question and the origin of the petitions in a directors meeting of the Board of Trade, He also showed the disad­ vantage the public buildings would bo in having no electric lights,* Member Bollock next spoke as to the change but not until the finan­ ces would stand it. Mr. D. S. Ervin mentioned a plant owned by the Corporation. Bull stated that the members of the newly organized company were ready at anytime to; turn tho proposition over to somo one Who Would insure a plant for the town. Member Randall thought that the matter should come before the: people ana let them express theim selves bo that council could be guided. Ho did not Want, to ignore the petition. The vote was then taken on calling an election at the time earliest alioWtd by law. Bollock, Bull, Hhroades, Cahiweil andRatutell voted in the affirma­ tive with Irvin in the negative. The salary ordinance that has been before council- at different meetings was up for a final reading and passed. Therewas some oppos­ ition to this 'measure and some heated dobates, For a number of years the village marshal received $865 per annum, The old council, under tho direction of tho Andrew-Ridgwa-yJackson gang passed an ordinance reducing the salary to The change was matin purely from a political stand­ point and would nothate been put m force had the gang candidate been elected. Tb« ordinance was passed some month* before the legal publication. As $H>0a year was not regarded as sufficient salary to expect a man f to live on, present council repealed j and amended the gang measure to 1 raise the salary to the old amount,1 W , -i Mr. Bollock being elected ou the gang ticket vra* the leader in tbs marshal as , receiving a month while the,members of council; met twice and received four doliara a month. On the vote Bollock,; tUu'oades, Irvin, Caidwelband Ran­ dall voted ‘ ‘No1 While Bull votedi “ Yes'” ; The ordinance Was de­ feated, The ordinance doing away with the city solicitor was read for the second time. Bollock thought that the introduction 01 ordinances was mfiy'wdrk for the printer."Caldwell favored, leaving the ordinance as it was as the village might soon need ,asolicitor. The ordinance says that t! c mayor Shall appoint a solicitor and .is .mandatory an the part of this- official, .The ordinance wifi come up at the next meeting.- 'Bills to the -amount of §192.80 were ordered paid. The Mayor collected- $7.00 and recommended that the R. of,B, band be remitted a license of $2.00. Report of different committees were approved Member Shroades of the light committee reported the lights all in first class condition. This report caused considerable amtfsemenfcamopg the bystanders. The question of a., member of council bolding another office was brought up by Bollock, who is also a member of the Library Board. Bull is a member of council and also j ustice of tbe, peace. Mayor-"Wolford slated that bp bad investigated to sopie extent and*found that.-both members could hold their respectlve places. Caldwell thought that the matter should be settled beiore im­ portant transactions were entered' advice of different attorneys in Xenia and cited a decision of the Supreme Court, He stated that lie The many friends of the Hon.
