OxE or Gov. WRIGHT's HOBBY HORSES
DE.D:-A few days after Gov. Wright was nom
mated for re election, he gave it ont along the
street and in divers ways, that he should. on a
certain night at the Representative Hall, lay
down his platform" for the compagn. We at
tended to see him. and hear him. He talked in
his sterotyped phrase about compromise being
the richest word in the language" and, about
knowing no North South, East, W est. or any
thing else in particular, in the first part OF his
speech. He then charged the Wing party with
being responsible for the system of Internal Inn
provements of 1896. Should he continue this
course it would be well for some Wing, in
every county where he may speak, 10 90 to the
Clerks office AMI get House Journal Of the ses-
sion Of lS36-7 and turn TO page 253. At the
conclusion Of the Governors speech, ask him,
in the most bland AMI polite manner possible,
whether he is the same JosErn A. WRIGHT
whose name YOU find recorded voting for the
adoption Of the following resolutions:
Mr.. Owen, after having obtained leave, Of
ferci the foil owing resolutions:
"ResoIred, That, in the opinion of this
House. it is expedient to extend the system Of
internal improvement entered upon last year. TO
an amount of not exceeding one million and a
half ofdoDars.
"Resolred, That committee Of two from
each Congressional district, be appointed. with
instructions TO prepare and report to the House,
Il
exceeding million and half Gas ahovc.)
shall. in their opinion, give the most general
satisfaction to the disafected portions of the
State, having referencc-Grst, to the probable
ofthc works embraced; secondly,
to their being located, so far practicable, in
such portions Of the State as have been hereto
fore unprovidcd for in the general system"
Should he attempt to dodge giving direct
answer (as he did a recent occasion when
clyaI yrhc tIorn Of hc fayn Of
81 rho same docnnent. and read the following
resolution, introduced by Mr. Nandevcar
"Resolred That it is iner pcdtent at this time,
to add any new works to the system Of Internal
Improvements.
And then ask him whether he is the same in
divdual whose name You find recorded against
the resolution?
Then let him, if he can, tell why it was, if
the ten million system was too large, that
he wanted to add one and hal fmil lion more
TO it?
That will knock one plank out Of his plat
form, and the whole affair Will then collapse, so
that two planks Will remain to mark the
spot where it once stood.-Iudidna Journal

No comments OF ours upon these most DIS
tressing events can be more forcblc than the
simple announcement of their occurrence. In
our remarks yesterday morning upon the subject
of steamboat explosions We pointed out the only
remedy, remedy which ought long ago to
have been applicd--the enactment of the most
stringent penal laws, and their rigid enforce
ment rhen enacted. 1t must be understood by
all who connected with steamboat navisa-
ton, that both negligence and rccklcssness will
be inevitably and severely punished. If steam

rope round their ncckS; if engineers will risk
hundreds of precious lives in fool hardy rivalry.

accidents are SO constantly traced lie: them
