Daily Ohio statesman. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1855-1870, 1868-09-03


They were instructed how and when to
shout and they obeyed. =
Hon. Gen. Willard Warner, u. S. Senator
from Alabama ~, who was a member OF
the Ohio Senate until the first Monday in
January, 1868, and who is to- day a voter
in the State of Ohio, addressed the meeting.
He acknowledged that he was carpet
bagger; said that when he was a soldier he
carried trunk. A good many soldiers we
wot of were content with knapsack. but
he carried trunk. When he "w, Mt b lck''
on his record as a soldier, he disca Ged the
trunk and was content with a arpe'-bag.
He confessed that the enfranchisem mt of
the negro was move for political pc wer
He talked loudly of 'smy State of Alaban a.
and s'my town of Montgomery" as have all
carpet-baggers talked since the war closed.
: After blowing like porpoise until his
wind gave out, he made way for the
gilt-edged ex Governor and x-Postmaster
General, the dignifed Hon. William Dem
nison, E:q. 'es'.7'-a -s.77a
Billy is a noble youth. He speaks his
piece with dignified suayity rarely equal
ed and never excelled. He talks to the
people as if he were comforting favor on
them by exhibiting himself to their bewil-
dered gaze,
-"As one who should say am Sir Oracle
When I Ope my mouth, let no dog bark!
He slung little more in glorifcation of
Vermont than did his predecessor. He
also considered that the Democratic party
should consider itself rebuked because
Vermont had gone Republican.
By the time Sweet William had conciud-
ed, a majority of the people had also con-
cluded-to home, and had quietly departed.
So the Republicans had their jubilee and
went to bed to dream of the Democratic
100000 majority in Kentucky" .s
The HAMILTON TOWNSHIP DITCH CASE.

missioners received petition from Hugh
E. Jones and eighteen others asking for the

FREIGHT BUSINESS, &C.-The freight
business of the Columbus, Chicago & In
diana Central railway has increased won
derfully within the past year; showing, we
are told, nearly thirty-three per cent. on
the main line from Chicago to Indianap-
oils and fifty-two per cent. on the Chicago
Branch. By-the-by, there is money for
somebody in real estate at Bradford juno
ton, where the Chicago Branch leaves the
main line. We would not be astonished if
| it should be to this line what Centralia is to
the Illinois Central. The G. G. & I. G. rail-
road now owns 600 miles of track, and will
by another summer have control of a
through line to St. Louis. The connecting
| line from St. Louis to Terre Haute via VAN
dalia is fast approaching completion. The
rails on the Chicago Branch will all be re-
| laid within three months, and the great
central line will then be complete, except
President Smith takes through cars to San
Francisco in a year or two. If he takes
the notion the thing will be accomplished.
