GOV. REID'S INAUGURAL.

We invite the attention of the voters of the State
to the sound and noble principles contained in Gov.
Reid's inaugural which We re-publish to-day.
This Address is characterized by the same seni-
ments and views held by Gov. Reid in his first cam
paign; they were not changed in his second CAM
paign, which resulted in his election and they are
not likely TO be changed either now or hereafter
That portion of the Address which is devoted 10
Equal Suffrage and the basis, is entitled, at time like
this TO particular attention.; and hope our friends
in various sections will to it that the Governors
position on these questions is correctly understood by
all. Efforts are now being made to misrepresen him
to connect Free Suffrage with the basis-and to
leave the impression that he is to blame for the a'
tack now going forward by Wing leaders on the CON-
promises of the Constitution; but all we ask u.s. thai
the facts as they are shall be laid before the people,
Gov Reid claims right for the non-landholdeFs' Inc
exercise of which will not njure, in any respect Inc
Iandholders, or interfere with the basis; and ior'n
with Wing leaders assai the basis, commit a wrong
in so doing, and then turn round and censure Uo''
Reid for their o,on uorOne

that the whole Of the line from this place to GA

Railroad Company, between this day and the
first day of July next, may be relied upon
One quarter of the loan, Four Millions Of Dol

If this report be correct, it is canse for uni
versal rejoicing throughout this section of the
State, and we may confidently expect operations
to be commenced on the road, between this
point ana Galena the coming summer. John
Is. Turner, of The G. II G. U r. r. Co., upon
hearing the above news, declared that his cars
should be ready TO meet those Of the Central
tom Galena, a the junction, and he seldom
fails in his calculations. Should the present in.

the neigh of the 'lron Horse and our eyes
greeted by the sight of him bounding into Free

favortes, his spaniel Etna, his cat, his tortoise,
and his horse, which last was laid beneath the
shade of a flourishing oak tree, reared from an
acorn, brought by himself from the shores of the
Lake Thrasymene, in 1917 Over the grave of
1Etna, his faithful companion of many years, the
