~ The construction Of the Safe Works oi
Messrs. Diebold & Klenzle near our depot
has commenced in earnest. The ground
was broke, to, day and The large establish
ment will be pushed to completion as rap
idly as possible. From the following II
will be seen these works are to be- quite
extensive and cannot fail to- addnnuch to
the business Importance Of Canton. The
depot front wall be 225x5 90. leet and the

the=trEVelling man of.the house and they
fally appreciate his worth. :. Mr.. Nier has
been familiar With Canton forzFears having
sold several large safes here and we. may
say first called the attention OF his house
to the Importance of our town. as a busi-
ness and manufacturing point. all which
led to the present movement. Mr. j Julius
c, Hintz, chief financial man. of The
house. had also much interest in the cree.
ton of Safe Works at Canton 1t-is due
Louis Schaefer, Esq, of our town, to say
that he also has been, especially active in
furthering the enterprise, making one
trip to Cincinnati for that express pur-
pese, o.
When the engineer and assistants had
fixed the corner and laid off the lines 1t
was voted unanimously by those present
that Mr. VIM. NieF should break the first
ground and that Mr.. SchaefeF should
shovel it, both discharging the duty so
we'll that three cheers were given for them
and the Safe Company. 49, -.
Itis gratifying for Cantonians TO know
that our natural advantages are being ap-
preciated by capitalists in large cities.
Those advantages consist in cheap coal,
$3.50 ton, cheap iron, and cheap living,
with convenient railway facilities,
being half way between PhIladelphia and
Chicago and mid way between New York
and st. LOUIS. All these are worthy Of
consideration and sagacious capitalists
will be likely to regard them favofably..e
The convenience of these works to the
railway will enable the proprietor to
have a side TRACK into their establishment
for the purpose of loading and unloading
freight. Such works in large cities are
not generally favored in this way.

The loss of the Legislature was owing
to the adverse and unexpected result in
several Democratic counties, such as Bel
mont, Hancock, Vinton, Wayne and
Knox, which elected Republican mem
bers, and our failure TO carry the close
counties of Madison, Highland, Stark
Williams anc Scioto. Had we carried the
FIRST counties named there would be a
change of twelve members, and, in addi-
tion, had half Of the second list, no Re-
publican majority on joint ballot could
have been secured. That we did not do
so is the fault Of our Democratic friends,
and by II they threw away great chance.
Sc far as Hamilton County is concerned,
we have accomplished all that any body
had reason to expect. In Republican

jority for Governor, to have elected two
Senators and five Representatives,, or a
majority OF the delegation. Is a great tri \
