that radicals should not be permitted to select

The primary election was, and will be, pecu-
liarly a democratic plan of nomination, and
radical Interference will not be allowed, even
to prevent the choice of candidates that will
not command their suffrages. We propose,

pose TO elect these candidates in spite Of radi-

Gated "a degrees at daylight, but had risen

commodations Of the best hotels, and is Off
cered by veteran steamboat men. As she
will not be deeply laden passengers may de-
pend on quick trip.
Steamboat owners at Cincinnati are pro-
testing against the payment of wharfage at
that port on account of the filthy condition of
the lovee, which makes it next to impossible
for them to receive or discharge freight with
out damage from mud. Every boat, in soft
weather. is compelled to pay from $40 to SIS
daily in the purchase of straw and hay to
spread about their gangways to preserve their
freight in good condition.
A writer in the Cincinnati Commercial adj
vocates the enlargement of cylinders of en-
gines on steamboats, to nearly or quite double
the proportion between the boilers and the
cylinders now in use, as a preventive to boiler
explosions, and cites the case Of the Henri
Clay TO prove that boat can be made to run
faster with the same amount of boiler. The
Clay carried only so lbs. pressure Of steam,
and the Baltic, with the same boiler but small
or cylinder, carried 100 lbs, yet the Clay
made much better time. As an old engineer,
we cordially endorse all he says in regard to
the matter, ~ it is well known 20 engineers
that the long continued high pressure on boil
ers weakens them much more rapidly than a
lower pressure would do. Boilers which have
pccH thheH out OF steamers on account %. thclr
old age and unsafe condition, have frequently
been bought and put up In mills on shore
where very low pressure only was required,
and have there been used for ten or fifteen
years with perfectsafety. The writer says he
does not know why the practice has not been
carried out. We can tell him. 1t Is because
the larger cylinder causes small boats 20
draw more water, and safety was sacrificed TO
lightness Of draught, which i. 50 essential on
our rivers This objection. however, is not
very serious one TO large steamers which run
generally when there is plenty Of water for
the extra weight would not make them draw
but two or three inches more than at present,
On small boats the increase in draught Of
water would be much greater, and therefore
more impracticable.
