During the year 1884, the Chc9apaake
and Ohio Canal COMPANY, having made
an Intellectual attempt to induce the Con-
gress of the United States TO lend its aid
towards the prosecution of th"ir work,
determined to ask for the necessary means
from the people Of Maryland. The
friends Of the Canal, therefore, riihoHt
respect to party, held meeting at Cum
bcrland, N Alegany county, on the 18th
of October, 1884, over which the vcnera-
! BE WILLIAM MCMAHON, then and always
a sturdy member Of TIE Jachson party,
presided, and at which the expcd ency of
holding a Convention i'll Baltimore city,
in the following month Of December, to
be composed Of Delegates from the Dis
trict of Columbia and the several States
interested in the work, was resolved upon.
Accordingly, on the Sth of December,
! 1884, Delegates appeared in Convention
at Baltimore from the States of Maryland,
Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and the Dis
trict of Columbia. These Delegates, be-
} longing to both of the great political par
ties of the day, were gentlemen Of great
} intelligence and influence. The most
: perfect harmony petvaded the delibera-
TORS of the Convention.
Amongst other proceedings, committees
were appointed to make accurate estimates
OF the cost Of completing the Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and
Susquehanna Rail Road, and to memorial
lie the Legislature Of Maryland and the
Municipal Authorities of Baltimore in be-
half of those Companies. On the meet
ing Of the Legislature at December Ses-
sion, 1884, memorials were presented;
containing minute estimates, founded u
pom the reports of distinguished Engi-
ncers, showing that the Eastern section of
the Canal to Cumberland could be COM
pletedat cost Of two millions Of dollars.
and the Susquehanna Rail Road to Y ork.
at a cost Of one million of dollars. Vol.
