The Thurman Meeting,


The great Thurman Mass
Meeting, which was to have been
last Friday, was a complete fz.
zle. The meeting was held in
the Court House. There was
ample room to accommodate a
crowd twice as large. About a
dozen people were in from the
country, and perhaps hundred
citizens of the town went up to
hear him. lie made the same
speech here that he made at Wa
verify, reciting the Credit Mo-
bilier scandal which was first ex.
posed by the Republicans, and
which all the people, without re-
gard to party, condemn. He
had something to say about re-
fusing to receive his back pay,
but not a word about his in.
creased pay, about which his
friend Neal had been treated so
shabbily. The meeting was
such a fzzle that it is hardly
worthy of notice.

Now Is our Chance,

There lie not enough salt in
the Democratic ticket of this
county to save it if the Republl-
cans act judiciously in their con-
vsntion next Monday. There
never was a better chance, The
dissatisfaction with the nomina-
tions last Monday is almost uni
versal. 1t has been demonstra-
ted that the people of this county
have got beyond the point where
they are just willing to swallow
anything that may be presented
by a nominating convention
The Republicans have profted
bv the knowledge of this fact
heretofore. The opportunity is
again pre- sented. We believe
they are alive to the situation.
The Vinton record. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1866-1891, 1873-09-11

lively, those who have hoped
to concillate and harmonize all
parties.
We regard it as a fortunate
circumstance for the interests
of the road that no material
change was made in the man
agement. Mr.. Langley has
done all that could have been
done. Indeed we are surpris.
ed that he has accomplished so
much with the means at his
disposal, and the opposition he
has encountered.
We cameback better satisfied
than ever that he will complete
the road. He has set his heart
on that one obJect, and he works
to that end with all his indom-
liable energy, night and day.
The people-the bone and
muscle of Gallia county-are
backing him. They have been
working away regardless of
whether there was any money
in the treasury or not, taking
stock and promises, at such
times as nothing better was to
be had. With set of employ, d,
ees of this kind, with $10O, 900
of untouched resources, with
other resources that will be-
come available as the road pro-
crosses, with the same courage,
confidence and business tact
that has been exhibited hereto
fore, there can be no question
but the road will be built. Op.
position may retard the work
it may add 10 the cost of the
road; but will never defeat the
enterprise.

Mr.. L. E. KNAUss was over
here on Tuesday to see what
had been done towards getting
up the proposed furnace CON-
pany. He found nothing done,
OF course, as our men of cap
ital seem TO think that our
county can develop itself with
out any assistance. Mr.. Knauss
had with him letters from
England from parties who are
using a similar furnace to the
one proposed TO be built,
which speak highly of its work
ings. Thomas Middleton & Co.,
who are running three OF the
furnaces, speak highly of them
and say they use less coke,
make better iron, and are less
liable to break down than any
other furnace. 1t is certainly
a cheap furnace, and Mr.. X.
offers fair enough terms. He
offers to put up a furnace that
will smelt 20 tons of ore per
day with one third less ex-
penSe than the ordinary tur
mace, Tor SIG 600, take $4,000
in stock himself; $4,000 of the
stock to be paid on order, So
600 on arrival of the furnace;
$4,000 when erected, and $4,-
600 when the furnace proves
satisfactory, guarantee going
with the trade.

We made mention a few
weeks ago of The advent in our
town of a citizen of Logan
who would drink no beverage
whatever. This week we have
to chronicle the arrival of a
Loganite whose habits and
tastes are more in accord
with the denizens of that vii,
dage. He drank everything in
liquid form that he could find,
and went away regretting that
his neck was not longer so that
he might gel down another
drink.

ters as much as our limited
time would permit. Notwith
standing we have watched the
reports of progress from time
to time IN the Galllpolis pa
pers we were surprised to see
the amount of work that has
been done. Twenty miles of
the grading is nearly complete.
Two weeks more work of the
force now engaged will finish
it ready for the snperstructure
Some of the work is very heavy,
probably as difficult as any
that will be encountered on

single track.
We also examined the books
and papers of the company,
Prest. Langley and Mr.. Henry
Langley, the book keeper, Civ
ing US free access to every.
thing in the Office for that pur-
pose. We do not hesitate to
say that there is not a better
kept set Of accounts in any
bank IN the State. Every cent
OF income and expense is en-
tered on the books, and The
bills or receipts as the case
may be, are carefully endorsed,
and filed away in packages by
months, numbered to CORES
pond with the books, so that
if a voucher for any entry on
the books is required, whether
for the smallest or largest sum
OF money, 1t may be had at a
moments notice. The books
are kept by double entry, so
that if any error should creep
into the days business 1t must
be discovered at night before
the books will balance. We
notice this condition of the
books and vouchers particular
ly because of the insinuations
which We have heard from Mr..
Langley 8 opponents, that all
was not just as it should be,
and that Langley and his sou
Henry werejust running things
to suit themselves, and &C

we could not examine all the
vouchers to see that exOrbi.

the receipt of these important dispatches We
do not intend this as a reproach to the De-
