Facts and Figures from Official

Facts and Figures from Official
sources.
We have published statistics
heretofore showing that the
counties in the State enjoying G
the best railroad facilities have
uniformly gained more rapidly
in wealth and population than
those having but one or no rail
road. We have this week ex-
amined the statistics in our
own county by townships, and
1t adds another and to US still
greater argument in favor OF
the railroad. The populf ton
of Vinton county has increased
6,O29 since the census of 1850.
OF this increase the townships
through which the NJ. & ORR
passes has furnished 5,022, and
the other townships but / ,0O7.
Clinton, having two railroads,
has furnished an increase OF
l,2O2 or 1876 mere than ali the
non-railroad townships COM
bined, while Swan, lying off
from the road has not as many
inhabitants now as it had in
1850, by 80, So much for the
population, now for the wealth.
The duplicate shows the VAL
ue OF the property OF the coun-
ty, real and chattel, in 1850 to
have been $7S9,S7S. 1t is now
S3,6S5, 4SO, a gain of 80, 1896, Cos,
of which the railroad townships
have gained over two millions
leaving the fraction for the
non-rallroad townships. For
example: Eagle has not doub-
led her wealth in twenty years;
Elk and Clinton have each in
creased their wealth seven
times over. None of the non
railroad townships have been
able to treble their wealth,
while Madison has increased
hers eight times over. Gentle
men, ifyou vote "Rallroad, No."
you must do it with these facts
staring you in the face, know
ing that you are voting square
against improvement, progress,
the interests of your neighbor
and the welfare of the whole
community. 1t is facts like
these, shown upon every tax
duplicate of the State, that
has brought the people 10 vote
with an unanimity never be-
fore equaled for these much
needed improvements. Let
Elk township, on Tuesday next,
show a spirit in accordance
with that Of her neighbors and
the age in which we live. The
vote is sure to carry in spite of
all that can be done against 1t
by its opponents but We want to
see ii carry by such good round
majority that we need not be
ashamed of il when compared
with our neighbors. We be-
Seech you; do not try to deprive
your children and your neigh
boris children of a market for

A HUmILuArING SPECTACLE.

The Boston Post stigmatiZes the specta-
Gle exhibited by the Grant cabinet as
humiliating and without a parallel in our
republican history. Robson, Secretary OF
the Navy, takes his carriage aud horses on
a government vessel to Portsmouth, whence
he makes elecsioneering excursions into
Maine, speaking from the stump and &C
lively EMPLOYING all the arts of the consum-
mate demagogue. He is using the peoples
money to obstruct their free choice in
the election. Creswell, who reported a
secession resolution in Maryland, only three
weeks before the Inauguration of President
Lincoln, in 1861, is travelling about and
telling the people of the North how perllous
peace with the. South will be for them.
Boutwell, deserts the Treasury department,
in which q competent financial minister
would feel overwhelmed with sense of
responsibility, and goes around mounting
his pla:titudes and fattering himself that
he comprehends the business be was set
to do for the country. Wilson is running
here and there almost without aim, and
certainly without insight into the meaning
of this struggle. Grant exhibits himselfin
dumb show from railroad car platforms and
tavern windows, They are every one busy
with their work, and for the time have
abandoned their duties, and given over the
claims of the country upon their Official
attention. Boutwell, declared that it was
sufficient ground for President Johnson's
Impeachment that he suffered one Of bis
cabinet TO do what he is himself openly
doing for Grant. What do the people
those wi O make and unmake governments
think of the spectacle?

THE Banner is wonderfully concerned
about the course of the UNION AND AMER
ICAN relative to the race for Congressman
at Large. The Banner is going TO become
the vindicator OF an outraged 'intelligent
public opinion" 1t is going to take up the
lash in behalf of insulted Cheatham men,
and the cudgels in behalf of injured john
son men. The Banner is very good
player, in fiction, in dream of passion
to force its soul so TO its own
conceit as to make its visags wan; tears in
its eyes, distraction in its aspect, a broken
voice, and all for nothing. For Cheatham!
For johnson, Whats Chatham or john
son to the Banner, or the Banner TO either
of them, that it should weep, or swear, or
tear? us too thin. Let the Banner state
its own position. Is it for Cheatham or
johnson? Is it for Brown or Colyar? Is
it for Brien or GolIaday or Stark or White?
1t has been so long silent about Grant and
Greeley that we would like for it TO state
for which of them it is to-day. Gov. Bard
says that Pennsylvania and Indiana are
sure to 90 for the Grant State ticket in the
October election. If that prove true, where
will the Banner stand then on the Presi-
Dental question? We know that it is
against the Democracy. It's sincerest cry
is democratic DISCRIMINATION" Merely
this and nothing more.

NEW HAMPSHIRE Dem ocrats VIII not
vote for Grant, and not many for the Bour-
bon candidate; Edmund Burke, the veteran
Democrat of Newport, a leader in his party
for more than thirty years, offered to bet
$1,000 the other day that not fifty Demo
Gratis in the whole State would vote for
Grant, and nobody would take the wager.
On the other hand, be reports in Newport,
Unity, PIainfeld, and other towns in his vi
cipity, a sufficient number of Greeley Re-
publicans to carry the State by 1900 ma
jority if the other towns do as much. Col.
Tappan reports the same thing in the towns
about Bradford.

have bad their spprehensions aroused and
a race hatred begotten. If this be peace,
then the frmest rallying cry of his parti-
sans, Let us have peace, IS a cruel mock
cry"
Gen. Aysrill judges also rightly, when be |
declares that the people want peace, and |
that the demand for Il Is more imperative
to-day than ever. In the spirit Of the true !
soldier, he contends that gathering at
Pittsburg, to receive the grievous memories
of a civil war long since concluded, is not
the way TO attain 1t. BE does not believe
in keeping up class distinctions, nor does
be think that aconvention of soldiers, called
for the purpose of controlling or iuauenc-
| ing the political action either Of late COM
rades, or of other citizens, is in keeping
with the spirit of four Democracy" For
these reasons alone he says he would
not have taken part in the convention; but
as be is not even in political accord with
those who signed the call, he has double
motive for misunderstanding it. AS against
Grant he is for Greeley, not passively, but
actively, and strong in the personal knowl-
edge he has acquired, and in the faith that
he entertains of the great disparity between
the two candidates, be closes his admirable
letter by asking with force and periinence
aIs it not our imperative duty to replace
an Executive who has shown himself OIL
cially Incompetent, and in many ways OBJ.
| buo ~ f1,a an NO
of Ring man whose unquestioned hon.
esty, intelligence and marvellous industry
will enable him to so conduct the executive
affairs that the General Government shall
do its duty towards relieving the miseries
and ills that have disheartened and para
lived the South and delayed our Union for
seven weary years."
Having served under Grant in the field,
Gen. Averill expresses no opinion in respect
to the military qualities of his old COM
mander. His criticism of him is as civil
ian, and not as a soldier. And yet; says
the Baltimore Gazette, there is passage
in his letter in which he speaks.of the people
who ''from the habit of concentrating al
| praise, or all blame, on single individual
selected Gen. Grant as the ideal on whom
l they bestowed all honor and power,
which leads us to believe that in his opin
ion, at least, "The Great Soldier" as
Grants parasites are fond of styling him
might much more appropriate by be called
after the famous Burmese Idol on the
banks of the Irrawaddy, "The Great Stag

GEORGE W.. PRICE, colored, was until
recently an officer in the customhouse at
Wilmington, North Carolina. At the late
election he ran as an independent candi-
date for Senator against the Ora Mt nomi-
nee. The sequel is told by Grants Viii
mingtoD organ, which says:
@Geerge W. Price, Jr., has been removed
from his position in the eustomhouse in TINS
city. Mr.. Price followed his own judg-
meDt In the election matter, and has no
one to censure for bis misfortune"
Grant will not tolerate freedom of opin-
ion among office holders. The man who
favors Greeley or opposes the plans of the
Grant party, viii be sure to have his official
head decapitated.

THE New York World mentions sig
nifcaBt fact. 1t says: ain 1867 Horace
Greeley was member of the State Consti-
tutional Convention which assembled in
Albany 10 revise the Constitution of the
State. Nineteen of his Republican col
leagues in that body have already publicly
declared their preference for Greeley over
Grant for the next Presidency. Seven other
Republican members of that body have re-
fused to do anything to aid the election Of
Grant. Every Democratic member Of the
body who is alive supports Mr.. Greeley,
while the Clerk of the Convention, and all
the officers except the President, also favor
Mr. Greeley's election"

PROFESSION AND PRACTICE.

The tenth article of the platform of the
Philadelphia Convention, which nominated
Grant for reelection, declares that "the
franking privilege ought to be abolished,
and the way proposed for a speedy reduc-
ton in the rate of postage" Now let us
see what sincerity there was in this profess
sion. From book kept by the super
intendent of the folding rooms of the
United States Senate there has been fold
ed and placed in envelopes since
July l, 1872, TO the present time, over tt0o
millions Of campaign documents. These
were delivered to the Grant committee
rooms in the capito', and we're then franked
by clerks detailed from the various depart
ments of the Government. zone Who
Knows" writing to the Washington Pdtri-
OF, thus further shows up the forgeries and
frauds practiced by Government officers,
and the writer challenges denial:
ga lady applied few days since to Judge
Edmunds for employment at the Capitol in
the Grant committee rooms, and he replied
that all the help they required lUdS detailed
from the different departments. And we
know from personal observation many who
are now working in the Grant committee
rooms who draw their monthly pay of not
less than 500 from the United States Gov
eminent. The Senate folding rooms have
supplied only one-third of the documents,
the House folding rooms having folded
during the last two months oUer four mill
ions, making a grand total since July Of
six millions of Grant documents folded,
placed in envelopes, franked and sent OF
in the United States mails.

ington, has $4,000 salary, and Rev. Mr..
Reid, in the Second AUDITORS Office, $1,500
salary. The names of the forged franks
used by these detailed clerks, under the d.
rection of Edmunds, are James Harlan,
United States Senate; John A, Logan,

of Congress; q. Foster, Member of Con-
gresS; G. Hays, Member of Congress, and
others. Not one of those named Gb0Ue are

yet, during the whole of yesterday, some
twenty clerks were busy forging the names
mentioned. These are facts which can be
proved by a score of people"

IN1Se6-7, under President johnson, it

nue. in Alabama, Arkansas, Illinois, Indi-
ana, Iowa and the District Of Columbia.
In 1912, it cost s6S7,OOO TO collect the
revenue in the same States and District. In
other words, Grant spent S194,383 more
than johnson did to collect the revenue in
the same territory. That was not keeping
his promise to reduce the expenditures.
