MIR. Groesbeck and His New Party.

Mr.. Groesbeck and His New Party.
Mr.. Groesbeck, the distinguished, in
tiuential. and most worthy Ohio Demo
crat. seems 70 have come to staad-still
il the organizing and pushing forward
of his new party, the Liberal Democ-
racy." In fact the great and true Democ-
racy of this country issweary of vain
compromises, and shiftings, and varia-
tions of name. Mr.. Groesbeck wishes
to leave the old f1atsand square Demo
cracic parry, but still, being an honest
man and patriot; shudders at the idea,
and will not move without the whole
Democratic family will move with him.
We fear he is inclined to follow the ex-
ample of the old farmer who was puz-
zled how to get rid of the rats in his
barn, and thought he accomplished his
purpose by burning it down. The n.
Y. World commenting upon Mr.. Groes-
beck's suggestion to change the name Of
the Democracy, says:
Mr.. Groesbeck wishes to substitute the
phrase Liberal Democracy as new
and improved designation for the Demo.
cratic party. We humbly submit that
this is too slight an alias to disguise lts
identity, while the consenting to take an
alias at all would have ahumiliating look
as if the party had something to DE
ashamed of. The principles he proposes
are no more liberal than those OF the
Democracy proper, for they are the same
principles We trust the party will new
er become liberal enough to accept those
of its opponents. The Democracy has
always been Liberal in welcoming the
persons, of their political organizations
when they come as honest converts to
its principles
Besides a new name for the vast body
of citizens who have so long called
themselves Democrats. Mr.. Groes.
beck desires that they disintegrate ano
recombiAe in new organization. But
| if the party is to hold fast the same prin-
! ciples, and to consist in the main of the
same men, the new organization will be
controlled by precisely the same wills as
tine old one. All that the recruits can
fairly ask is a share of influence IN the
party councils proportioned to their
numbers. There is no supposable case
in which the members ofthe Democratic
party would not have an Overwhelming
preponderance in the new organization
which, controlled by the same elements
would after all be in substance the same
party. What advantage would there be
| in thatp
The ostrich, which buries his head in
the sand In the hope Of concealing HI;
body, was never accounted a wise bird

MARROW GAUGE Iron ROAD
Tho following is my estimate at The
cost of Narrow Gauge Iron Road with
Il gauge Of three (3) feet.
The route of this road Is tho same rs
the preceding The road is ii"r and
fve-eightI,s (5.) miles long, @an.!r three
feet, and extreme grade eighty (Soj feet
per mile.
The cost of this road and the wide
gauge road varies mainly in the cost of
grading the respective road beds.
In the Narrow Gauge rna'I The S"lidiLy
or the cuts and embanliments amnunl.;
to liity-ome thousand two hundred and
tllirly-one (5l ,23D cubic yards, which !
estimate at fifteen cents per cubic yard.
because the cuts arc smaller and n'lrcr
the surface than those of the wide gauge
road, making all aggregate "f seven
thousand six hundred and eighty four
(7,GS4) dollars.
estimate the number OF cross ties to
be eleven thousand, ut twenty five cents
each, making the cost of this item ;wn
thousand seven hundred and fifty e., I5O
dollars.
The cost OF the iron for this road es-
innate at the same as that of the wide
gauge road, though lighter iron costing
say five thousand (S5OOO) dollars per
mile, in my opinion, would be sufficient
say thirty thousand 100000 dollars for
the whole road.
The cost of masonry and of the Trcstle
and Bridge over Beaver Dam Creek, ow
ing to the change of grade, will not be
much below the estimates made for the
vide gauge road. would estimate these
two items tor This road at two thousand
five hundred (2,5OO) dollars.
l make the same, estimates for Depots
on this road as are made for the wide
gauge road viz: one thousand dollars.
The rolling stock I estimate at ilileen
thousand Q5,0OO) dollars.

is caused by the stomach and liver attract
