A Paying Investment.

A few years ago when Canton was
known as one Of the sleepiest towns in tho
State a Mr., Ballinvented an improvement
in moving machines and proposed to man,
ufacture Balls Ohio Mower thenss if the
citizens of Canton would lend him ter
thousand dollars. They did it, and around
the factory Mr., Ball started have clustered
two immence agricultural implement
manufactures; one of reaper and mower
knivesi one Of saddlery hardware; two Of
furniture; one of cultiyators of wrought
iron bridges one of soap and many others
more or less extensive. Two thousand fye
hnnered people are supposed to be supnor-
ted by the machine factory alone, and the
town has trebled In population and quad.
rupled in wealth Canton can bless the
day her citizens loaned Mr. Ball $4,000,
and learned to foster mechanical and menu.

Certain Copperhead papers pro
fess to believe that it is a great po.
litical sin to bo the holder of u. S.
Government Bonds; but IL they had
the power to elect anybody to an
Office, the fact that a man who was
the pniucky proprietor Of Confed-
crate States Bonds would be no oh.
lection, with them, TO his being
elected to any office within their
gin. So with them it is terribly
wicked to be the owner of u. S.
Bonds, but Il decided virtue to have
paid theF money for Confederate
States Bonds, for the purpose of
CARRYING on the rebellion against
our Government.

+-- The Democracy of the 18Th
District have nominated Gen. Geo
W. Morgan asAtheir candidate fo
Congress. Gen. Morgan and Co
lumbus Delano were thescandiddtes
two years ago, and the certificate o,
election was given to Morgan but
his right to It was contested by Mr..
Delano, to whom the seat was final.
lV given by the House of Repre-
sentatives. The Democrats seem
determined to give Gen. Morgan
another chance to become n Con.
gresham. Whether Mr., Delano
will again be his competitor is not
yet determined.
The District Is very close between
the parties, with the possibility of
success favorable to the Democra-
cy, as that party has a wonderful
faculty OF mastering up a host of
'hoddy voters; but when the vote
is reduced to a strictly legal basis,
the probabilities dre favorable to |
Republican success in the 18th.

Democratic National Convention,

The great Damocracy,nowin in ses
sion in New York City, are having
a remarkably heated session, anc
thus far but little progress has beer
made towards accomplishing th,
object for which this vast body O
Natural curiosities has been gather
ell together in "Gotham. y Bar,
num'smuseum, tits said, never con.
taincd half as many curiosities as
are now assembled in Tammany
Hall. Anything but congeniality
and harmony prevails among the
Democracy. Six ballotings have
taken place, and no choice of a
candidate is yet made
Our latest news at the time we
60 to press "wednesday evening"
is from the Cincinnati Gazette Of
Wednesday morning, which we give
below;
1t was generally conceded last
night that the result of yesterdays
balloting in the Democratic Con.
yention demonstrated the impossi.
bility of nominating Mr.. Pendleton.
The highest vote he received was
1921. The total vote is 3I7, of
which 2ll, being two thirds, is nee
essary to choice. Pendleton, then,
on the highest vote he received,
lacked 50 of an election.
It must be borne in mind, too,
that many of the delegates who yo-
ted for him are quite ready to break
on the first opportunity, and a seri-
ous and irreparable weakening ofI
his ranks will doubtless be expert
enced to-day, and we are now quite
prepared for an exhibition Of STRAIT
egy on the part of New York, which
will be developed this afternoon, i'll
not tlIis morning, Phe plan of the
leaders seems to be, having satisfied
Pendleton's friends that there is no
hope for him, to spring Chase upon
The Convention and wheel New York
md the New England States, with
most of the Southern delegates, and
probably Pennsylvania also, into
inc for him. But the result of this
aovcment will depend on the tenn
er OF Mr.. Pendleton's friends, who,
they shall SUCCEED in keeping l07| !
elegates in hand, can control the
iomination. The question then is, |
Vill Pendleton throw his strength
II favor of Chase or Hendricks r.
they can nominate either, or they
IAN defeat either. How will they
I I.'uw. ..E
Itseems hardly probable that the
cal friends of Pendleton would
lelp New York to nominate Chase
'ut there is detection in the Ohio
elegatiop, and what this may lead
3 tbs impossible to say, but it looks :
ow as if the real contest to-day
'ould be between Chase and Hen .
ricks. :
A Platform has been reported, o
ut 1t will be difficult for Pendleton e
Ien to stand on it. a
