Is There Not q netter Waye

They have o method Of building rail.
roads in the West (which, it strikes us,
might adgahtageously be considered BY
people here at this particular time. Tie
local aid d not patl patl ttSyoad d 0u1i.
A county or city, for example, will vote
to subscribe a given sum. A bond IL
given to company undertaking the
work that, when the road Is completed to
q stated point, the money will be paid.
Thus the people get their railroad and
those who build get their pay. Neither
is cheated. Neither runs any risk Of
being cheated. OF course, under such q
system only companies that have money,
or can command 1t, can build railroads.
But when the bonds for local aid have
been given, the money can be easily
raised, because the basis Of operations Is
definite and certain. T.
Why should not such q method be ap.
piled here. Let local subscriptions be
made payable when tho work is complet.
ed. II the subscriptions are made by
responsible bodies and they give proper
obligations tho contractors run no risk.
And any responsible Company can under.
take the work with the same security and
confidence as II the subscriptions were
paid them in advance or as the work
progresses. Then the communities sub.
scribing are absolutely protected against
the numerous chances OF failure and loss
that inevitably attach to subscriptions
made in the manner now proposed.
We believe this suggestion Is worth the
present consideration Of our citizens. May
1t not be better to so back and begin
anew, on some such plan as this, than to
take the risks Of concentrating our sub.
scriptions in themanner now proposedP

The Register has now got so far along

service than it does by retailing the loose

ing cars at this point
The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1872-05-23

We are informed by gentleman who
had a conversation recently with Mr..
BECKER, the engineer Of the Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati & St. Louis Railway Company
and Of the Pittsburgh, Wheeling & Ken
lucky Railway Company, that Mr..
BECKER made to him the following state
ment: Thatthe parties who got up the
Wheeling & Lake Eric Railway project
applied to Colonel sCoTT, Of the Central
Pennsylvania, to take hold Of 1t, making
the same proposition that was afterwards
made the New Workers, viz: $4,000 a
mile local subscriptions, By direction Of
Colonel SCoTT, Mr.. BECKER passed over
the line as indicated and found that It was
almost impracticable for a considerable
distance from the river; that large part
OF itpassed through country that would
give it but little business, and that in his
judgment the road il built, on the line
proposed, would not pay. Upon this
report Colonel scoTT declined to have
anything to do with it.
A fact like this ought to be known to
our people, as helping them to judge how
much there Is in the rose.colored state
ments furnished by the Wheeling s. Lake
Erie officers and agents. The correctness
Of Mr.. BROKERS' statement as to the i'm.
practicabilty ofthls end Of the route is
confirmed by Mr.. WILSON the contractor,
who, as he himself informs us, proposes to
look for better route from the river over
10 the Panhandle road than that up Deep
Run and Short Creek. He informs US that
the report oil the engineers who have re.
Gently passed over.thc line is that the tun.
nellng on that part Of the line would be
5000 feet-over'a mile and hall. We
understand that since the contract with
Mr.. WILSON, that gentleman has sought
to enlist the aid OF MIR. GARRETT of the
Baltimore road, with what success we
have not heard. bE s aassa
Facts OF this character inevitably sug-
gest this inquiry: Is 1t not extraordinary
that with all this uncertainty about the
route ofthis projected road-about where
it is to run and what the. building Of it
will costa contract should be closed for
its construction at a fixed price per mile
Would parties deliberately bind them
selves to the completion of so great a
work Tor stated price, with so little
knowledge OF what it might cost, ii they
were responsible and expected the con.
tract to be enforced against themH On
the other hand, would a Company DELHI.
cratelY bind itself for the payment OF a
fixed price, amounting to about seven
millions, in the absence of all knowledge
as to whether that price was a reasonable
one or not, Il 1t looked conscientiously to
the interests Of stockholders and the fu.
ture success Of the roadG
Is it iniatuation, or what is 1t, that has
prompted the prosecution OF this enter.
prise thus far by such loose. vague, incon.
elusive and unbusiness.like methodist

The Business of the Grafton Con-
YentIon.

The first business Of the Grafton Con-
vention, to assemble to-day, viii be the
appointment Of ten delegates to represent
the Republican party Of the State In the
Philadelphia Convention. This Is all that
Is distinctly proposed in the call. Sew.
eral gentlemen who seem to coyet empty
honors appear anxious, however, for the
nomination of o State ticket forthwith
For minorityparty this would be at once
unusual and injudiclous. The only chance
that we can see for the election Of Re
publican State ticket Is through o diyi
sion Of the Democrats. II division
arises at all II viii grow out Of dissensioni
at the Parkersburg Convention, on the
Both inst, or at the Baltimore Convention
on the 9th Of July. Itwould certainly b.
wise for the Republicans to await the ISSUE
Of those Conventions and take advantage
of any opportunity they may offer. TIC
nominate q ticket now is to risk having
1t composed Of Indifferent material, be.
cause nominations will neither be sought
nor accepted now by tlrstclass men. II
would also be to throw away blindly In
advance whatever chance there might be
in certain contingencies at Parkersburg
or Baltimore for making Democratic Ill
visions contribute to q Republican success
Aweek after the Baltimore Conven
ton would be early enough for q nomina
ting Convention; and one held thenw would
be able to Judge intelligently how a State
ticket could be most effectively composed
Or, II contingency, which is possible
presented ITSELF wherein 1t might appear
that the speediest way to overthrow the
Democracy in this State would be to 70.
frain from nominations, such a Conven.
ton could better than this decide ona
question Of that character.
The most important consideration,
however, is that nominations now neces.
sarily foreclose all possibility OF success,
while postponemeut to the middle Of
July might lead to very different results

IN a short time the political campaign
In this county will be fairly opened, and as
every voter is greatly interested, all should
secure good reliable paper TO be correct
~ informed OF the issues before the people.
In order to accomplish the introduction of
papers into families who are not taking
any newspapers whatever, we propose to
give the "AMERICANn from this date to
December lst, 1872, for the low price of so
cents, in advance. We hope that at such
low rate every Republican in the county
will exert himself in his district, and aid in
circulating the "ANEIIcANn in every
family. The AMERICAN is well known
in every part of the county as a live and
reliable journal, and We can assure all, that
the mere encouragement we receive the
more the paper will be improved.

THE Democratic party has at last yielded
its great name to the dictates of one man.
Ever since the organization of our govern
ment it was foun d that the two great parties
existing il inslilled life and energy in both.
The Democratic party springing up soon af-
ter became powerful and respected through
out the world, and as far back rs our own
knowledge extends. almost every foreigner
who landed upon our shores connected him
self with that party. But as all things VIII
have an end, so this great Democratic par
ty was destined to close its career. The
James Buchanan. Since then tie leaders
have 50 rapidly changed its principles that
its downfall became inevitable. The lead
Crs became corrupt, and the principles of
the party were sold to the highest bidders,
for offices. The principles so long advocat-
ed by the old stauLch men of the party
were cast to the winds until none were left,
and now to-day the party is swallowed by
the man who has spent a life time to ruin
the principles Of the Democratic party.
All the issues Of The past pertaining to the
Democratic party are ignored and the Re
publican principles which they constantly
fought against, have been adopted as the
code for a party, to take the place of De-
mocracy, called the Liberal RcforneIs.
This is an open admission on the part Of
those who have heretofore been the leaders
of the Democracy that they were wrong,
and that the republican principles were
the truc priaciplcs of the country. 1t
shows too tllst the masses of that party
were gros'y deceived by their leaders in
TIE past Under such circumstances can
nay honest man either Democrat or Repub-
iican conscientiously connect himself with
the party that is guided by these same lead
ers who have been deceving them, and are
abandoning the Democratic principles for
the sake Of obtaining offices.
