A GIGANTIC FARCE.

The first tendency of most people, yesterday,
when lhey heard that the Cincinnati Convention had
Horace Greeley for President, was 10 laugh
indeed the news was received everywhere as IL had
been the latest Joke of some well known humorst. Al
though IL would be very easy To give ridiculous
turn TO the entire proceedings, it may be doubted
whether that line OF treatment would be III harmony
with the thoughts Of most sensible men who consider
the various which were represented in the Con
vention. There he no question that q great many
persons whose opinions entitled 10 respect went 10
Cincinnati with objects In view which were far from

THE CUYAHOGA VALLEY ROAD.
Progress Of the survey.PsvorabIe

Progress OF the Surveys
.sRaase E0und.
Editorial In Cleveland Leader, October 2, ]
II lis gratifying to be able to state
that the surveys on the Valley road are
now for advanced, and have proved
even more feasible than was at first
anticipated. The route, as now located
from this city to Canton, (ffty-six miles
leaves the city through the Cuyshoga
Valley, following the west bank Of the
stream, and to Akron has an average
upgrade of twelve feet to the mile. At
no point in the first fifty miles is there
foot OF the line which has downward
grade toward the south, or away from
Cleveland.
1t is all either level or inclining
toward this city by grade OF from six
to thirteen feet to the mile, just enough
to make it easy for a single engine 10
draw immense coal trains towards
Cleveland over the proposed road, with.
out being SO steep as 10 make heavy
work for empty trains on the return
trip. From Canton to Bowerstown-
the end of the route-preliminary sur
veys have been made and found highly
favorable. Fourteen miles beyond Can
ton the line crosses ridge into the val
ley OF Connaughton creek. At this
point there is on the other side of the
divide a short and slight downward
grade towards Bowerstown. but from
that point onward the line maintains it's
uniform upward grade, as it proceeds
southwark. 1t will be seen from this that
when built, the Valley road will have,
in point OF grades, an immense advan-
tage over any and all coal bearing lines
which now converge at this city. How
important an item this advantage will
be in making secure the financial sue
cess of the road, railway men will best
understand Three and hall miles
beyond Akron, or thirty-eight miles
from Cleveland. the Valley road strikes
the coal fields, and from that point
leads on southwark, through fifty miles
of exhaustless wealth. Akron and
Canton have filled their subscriptions,
and their part of the road will be built
At once. A year from THE month We
shall hope, and expect to see the road
open from Akron to Canton. Whether
it will be open at that time from Cleve-
land to Akron depends upon the men
of this city. The heat and excitement
Of politics have for time diverted pub
lie attention from this most important
subject, but it is also true that the CON-
munity has come out Of the Congress
sional campaign with clearer percep>
ton OF its duty toward the Valley road
than it ever had before. More than
two-thirds of the stock allotted to this
city has been taken. and the remainder
will certainly be provided for. The
Board OF Directors, which will meet
within few days, will take steps to pro-
vide for opening work upon the road at
the earliest possible moment.

there is little use in advertising urge as
an objection that advertisements are

WINGED OF their error in this res pect by
making inquiry. Let them -inser; an
advertisement offering to purchase some
article that is tolerably plenty in the

position to do the village merchant
great good, and for which, as a rule,
the publisher does not get one-fourth OF
