The Evansville journal. [volume] (Evansville, Ind.) 1866-1870, 1868-04-04
Evansville, Henderson a. Nashville
Railroad.

We have been uuder the impress
sion that our merchants and manu-
facturers were unanimously in favor
of the immediate completion Of this
road. 1t is now apparent to every
body, that if the road is finished at
an early day, Evansville must be
ready to step forward and lend help
ing hand. The people Of Henderson
County have cashed their city and
county bonds, and are disposed to do
their best with the means at their
command, but without assistance
from Evansville, they realize that
their efforts must prove a failure.
When the question Of taking stock in
this enterprise'was submitted to our
people, they voted to take stock with
surprising unanimity. Our merchants
and manufacturers said the road must
be built or the city would inevitably
lose a large portion of its best trade
Our mechanics aud laboring men in
sisted that the road must be bull
because it would largely increase the
growth and prosperity cf the city, and
consequently give them more to do
and better prices for doing it. Only
one prominent citizen, that we re-
member, took an active part against
the road. Mr.. WILLARD CARPENTER
opposed the subscribing of stock to
the Evansville, Henderson & Nash
Vile Road, on the ground that the
city ought first to complete the old
Straight Line Road. Mr.. CARPEN-
TER, so far as his position can be
ascertained by his acts, is still op-
posed to the Henderson Road, for the
same reason, and 50 far as his inhu-
ence extends, will do all that he can
to break down the enterprise. Mr..

Mr.. CARPENTER hands, and what
assurance have the people that he
will not do SO again when the oppor-
tunity presents itself? No shrewd
business man can vote for Mr.. Walk
Err with any assurance that he will
work with any degree Of energy to
complete the Evansville & Nashville
Road. With CARPENTER as his
Chief Manager of Public Improve
ments, it is not to be expected that
be will do so. If he is guided by Mr.
CARPENTERS political sagacity, dur
ing the canvass, is reasonable to in
fer that he will be controlled by Mr.

improved We firmly believe and
confidently predict, from what we
know Of Mr.. e Walkers associates,
and surroundings, that his election
would result in so seriously crippling
the Nashville Road as to delay its
completion months if not years.
In view of these facts, il. is surpris-
ing, that any merchant or manufac-
turer could hesitate moment to vote
for Mayor BAKER THE latter gen.
tleman is an avowed RAILROAD man.
He has examined into the condition
and merits of. the Nashville Road,
and expresses himself in favor of the
Cityscontributing It's part to aid in its
completion. The wealth that would
be attracted to our city by this road
cannot be calculated. We urge its
friends, therefore, to work for Mayor
BAKERS election, as they desire the
early completion of their road. He
has the capacity aud inclination to so
arrange the subscription of this city
as to make it available for the benefit
of the road at an early day. We be-
lieve Mr. WALKER has neither the
nor Rehabilitation to do so.
Merchants desiring Kentucky trade,
will do well to bear this in mind.

The S0nfhern Trade.

On the eve of every election we are
treated by the organ of the Democ-
racy to commercial lecture = on
the ruinous consequences which will
result from continuance Of - Radi-
cal rule " III this city. The Courier
Of yesterday takes up the greater por-
ton OF its editorial space ia lament
ing the evil influence which the Jour
NAL and the Republican party have
had upon the trade Of the city. One
would think from a reading of the
Copperhead organ, just prior to each
returning election, that the business
of Evansville with the South was
about to be hopelessly ruined, and
that nothing but the success of its
party would save itfrom total destruc-
ton; and yet,>for the past eight years,
with an occasional temporary reverse,
Evansville has spoken decidedly in
favor Of the Government, the loyal
Congress, and for the Union Republi-
can party, aud its trade has hourished
and its commerce increased and ex-
tended from year to year. This old
cry about the ruin of our trade has
alarmed nobody in the past, and it
has now about exhausted its power.
The man who talksas did the Courier
yesterday, will only be laughed at as
poor simpleton, by intelligent and
liberal merchants and business men.
The questions at issue in the APP
preaching city election relate chiefly
to our own local prosperity and ma
terial interests, and our people will
vote as they think best for the pros
perity of Evansville.

there were Republicans who expected
to reap so large a harvest from the
continuance of their party in Office
that they would give even large sums

ker, who has filled the offie for the

election, and is opposed by Wm II.
Walker, Copperhcad. VINO wa for
many years Auditor Of Vanderburgh
County, and enjoys the unpleasant
notorlety Of having drawn a large
amount Of money from the County
Treasury as fees, which the Circuit
Court has since decided he was not
entitled 70, bat which he retains with
the tenaeity which dististinguishes all
Democrats who have succeeded IN
gorging themselves With public plun-
der.
General politics are little discussed
IN the city canvass, tue fight being
made on local grounds and the record
Of the rival candidates and parties In
their management Of the city and
county finances.
The JOURNAL makes a showing IN
this particular which is highly honor
able TO the Republican officials Of
Vanderburgh County who have had
control Of its revenues and expendi-
lures, and contrast magnifcently with
the grinding taxation endured ia the
surrounding Democratic counties, aud
in Vanderburgh, also, when the Demo
cratic party, so called, was in power.
