The Presidency in 1876.

We have never been in the habit of
breaking ground for any particular per-
son for the presidency of the United
States, the -Gubernatorial chair of this
state: or indeed for any other political
position. Our policy has always been to
wait until the acting of q regular nemina-
ting Convention is had, and then, trust
ing such action has been had from honest
and sincere motives. give to IL a firm and
decided support. But we cannot shut
our eyes TO certain political facts which
the last year has developed, nor to the
services rendered the country In the in
terest of sound constitutional principles
by certain eminent democratic states
men. To do so would be to ignore Justice
and fair dealing, and this is neither our
wish or our intention to do.
1t may be said there is time enough, by
and by, to talk about who should be the
democratic nominee for the Presidency in
1876. This is true and under ordinary
circumstances it might be well enough to
postpone all consideration of the subject
until we come nearer TO the time when a
nomination is to be made but it must be
admitted that had the Democratic press
been more decided in its expression of
opinion heretofore, the party would not
have been compelled to labor under the
vain hope of achieving success.
Among these whose services in the
cause of democratic principles deserve
especial recognition, we know of none
paramount to those of Hon. A. G. Thur
man of Ohio. He is a statesman of the
s%trictest integrity and in the discharge
Of official duty has always considered the
interest of the people paramount to all
other considerations. He was a violent
opponent of all such schemes of Credit
Mobilier, and other speculations to deplete
the public treasury, and the first of all
Senators and Members of Congress at
Washington to refuse to touch the salary
and back pay grab.
He was Judge of the Supreme Court of
Ohio and occupied many other high and
honorable positions. He was elected TO
the United States Senate, which position
he now occupies; and during the late con-
test for Governor of Ohio, was the active
and determined leader which brought VIC
tory to the Democratic party IN that State.
His moral character, like his public career
is beyond reproach and we deem him to
be a fit person to lead the Democracy to
triumph in 1876.
OfcouIse, in this matter, we only ex-
press our own individual opinion. We
do not speak for others. We think it is
time for the democracy to pay a little at
tention to those Democratic statesmen
who have stood the brunt of battle in ev-
cry contest. While We lave such men in
our ranks it is unnecessary to 60 off on
the hunt ofmen who, when a battle is to
be fought, never show their hands, but
when a triumph is achieved they are fore
most. With Thurman we can win

MR. VIEWERS CONTEST

The second Wednesday in February
Aas been selected for a hearing of the con-
test, provided that parties do not show
good reasons why it should be deferred.
Mr.. WEIMER's grounds for the contest are
as follows
First-Irregularities in the mode of
making up and returning poll-books in
the wards OF Cleveland, and in the certih-
Gates attached to the same, and that the
abstracts of the Clerk of Common Pleas
are void for irregularity.
Second-That the returns made from
the wards and townships of Cuyahoga
county do not contain all the votes cast
for the contestant and do contain a larger
number of votes cast for Welsh than were
cast for him.
Third-That at l o'clock of the morning
after election, one of the clerks in the
Fourth ward, of Cleveland withdrew, and
another person illegally acted in his place
in recording the votes, and the certifc ate
OF that vote Is not q true and legal certif-
cate.
Fourth-Ihat the person serving in
said Fourth ward of Cleveland, in the alb
ssnce Of the clerk, was incompetent to act,
and returns made by him are void.
Fifth-That in certain enumerated
wards and townships of Cuyahoga county,
the ballots were emptied upon the table
and assorted before being counted. and
were counted in punches.
Sixth-That the Republican Central
Committee OF Cuyahoga county printed
their ticket on paper heavier in thickness
and smaller in size than the tickets of
other parties, thereby violating the law
against marking the tickets to show what
ticket any voter cast-that three thousand
tickets so voted by the electors of Cuya-
hoga county were illegal and void.
Eighth and Ainth-That the trustees
of Newburgh township, Cuyahoga county,
vitiated the election IN said township by
illegal acts.
Tenth-That the election held in Gosh
en- township, Champaign county, was in
validated by the action of the judges
thereof,
Eleventh-Oharges illegalities IN several
townships in Stark county.
Twelfth and thirteenth-Charges ille-
galltles IN conducting the election in
Marlboro and other townships in Stark
county. s
Fourteenth-Charges illegalities in Mill
township, Tuscarawas county.
Fifteenth-Charges that eighty-four
votes cast in Perry township, Morrow
county, counted as for George Weier,
should have been credited to this contss-
tant.
The vote as counted elects Mr.. WELSH
by only 17S votes. 1t will be readily seen
that there are several charges, any two OF
three of which being allowed Mr.. WEIMER
viii be elected. Mr.. WIENER has good
proofs in a majority of the charges
and We have no doubt that he will be

"WoMAE's Rights" = meaning the
right to vote is much harped on nova
days. 1t shows the looseness with which
people often talk. To vote is a privilege,
not a right at all in the sense used. If
voting is a fright" persons under twenty
n would be as much entitled to its ex-
ereiso as those older-but being a privi-
lege, adopted by social and political ar
rangement, it is regulated by law. JUS
tice and equality before the law are rights,
based upon '1ifo, liberty and the pursuit
of happiness" These belong to minors
and non voters as well as to voters. The
truth is the harpers on so-called woman's
rights mean "free love" This should not
be forgotten,

Hon 81 3D.. MopDmokru. member Q


Congress from this District, on Monday Of
last week introduced in the House Of Rep
resentatives a bill establishing a Bureau
of transportation, intended to regulate
the management of railroad and Transport
tatlon companies employed in inter state
commerce. 1t is proposed 6rst to appoint
one commissioner and four assistant com
m~issioners, these officers to be appointed
by the President, by and with the ADVICE
, and consent of the Senate, for a term q
five years. The commissioner is TO re
ceive a salary of $4,000 and assistants
$4,000 per annum. The bureau is to be
attached to the Interior Department.
The commissioners are charged with the
duty of causing to be observed all the
laws Of the United States relative to the
transportation Of freight and passengers
over railroads, or the consolidation of
railroads that have terminal points in
different states and territories, and rela-
tive to management and operations of the
same and the management and operation
of all transportation companies engaged
as common carriers of freight and passen-
gers over such railroad. In case any
railroad or transportation company shall
willfully refuse or neglect to obey any
law.of the United States, or to observe
order, decision. rule or regulation made
by the commissioner in pursuance of law,
the same shall be deemed cause to res
train such company from carrying on the
business of common carrier as long as
such refusal or neglect continues. The
commissioner is to be invested with the
power Of Arranging the rates of charges
for the transportation OF freight and pas
sengers, having due regard to weight and
) other matter that ought to be considered
as he may deem to be just as between
such companies and their patrons, provi-
ded the rates, when charged and correct
ed at the maximum, shall yield a net
earning upon which to declare a dividend
among stockholders, estimating from the
business of the proceeding year, of not
less than ten, nor more than fifteen per
cent. upon the actual cost Of all the prop
.erty of the company. y
! OLcourse more officials are wanted and
this measure would increase them largely
and give to the General Government the
CONTROL Of all the railways in the country.
Capitalization of power, ala Russia &c,
is the order in this country.

Go West Througb 81. Louis.

To all who are seeking new homes in or
are about to take a trip to Missouri, Kan
sas, Colorado New Mexico, Nebraska,
Oregon or California, we recommend a
cheap, safe, quick and direct route by way
Of st. Louis, over the Missouri Pacific
Through Line. 1t is equipped with fine
Day Coaches, Bucks Reclining Chair
Cars, P1llman's Palace sleepers, the ia
nous Miller Safety Platform, and the cell
ebrated Westinghouse Air Brake, and
runs its trains from st. Louis to prlnci-
pal points in the West uithout chance.
We believe that the MisS0u7l Pacific
Through Line has the best track of any
road west of the Mississippi River, and
with its Superior equipment and u~nrivaled
comforts for passengers, has become the
great popular t~horoughfare between the.
East and the West. Trains from the
North, South and Fest connect at st.
Louis with trains of the Missouri Pacific.
The Texas connection of this road is now
completed, and passengers are offered a
hrst class all rail route from st. Louis to
Texas, either over the Missouri, Kansas.
and Texas K. R.; v5G SeddEiG, or over the
Atlantic and Pacific R. R., vio Yinita.
