Scioto Valley r. r.

Track-laying has already com
menced on the Scioto Valley r. R.
between Columbus and Circleyille,
and it is now reasonably certain that
the cars will be running between
Columbus and Chillicothe-the an
cient and modern capitals ofthe State
before Christmas.
The contract for the work on the
remainder of the line, between Chill
licothe and Portsmouth, has not yet
been let, but no doubt it will be be-
fore long,
The Circleville Union of last week
says:
There are 65 wagons at work on
the line, between Circleville and.
Hopetown; and the road between
Circleville and Columbus will all be
ready for the ties within two weeks,
save at Walnut crossing.

How Did 1t Happen?

structive, on the day following the
election, to move about the streets
of Hillsboro slowly and listen to the
Democracy assigning reasons for
their defeat. There were almost as
many reasons assigned as there
were people to assign them. Walk
ing along North High street, we re-
ceived the information that the
Temperance Ring" and the "Whis-
ky Ring" combined, and secured
the election of Mr.. Newell for Sheriff.
We had not thought of it before, and
inquired how Col. Brown, our candi
date for Senator, swept everything
before him, and were told that it was
due to the same cause. Then, remem-
bering that DIR. Holmes was not iden-
titled with either "Ring, we accepted
the explanation as correct.
Next we were informed that when
the Temperance people, regardless
Of party, worked for Mr.. Newell at
Rainsboro, after the "Joe Lantz"
faction had commenced operations
against him, that those Democrats
who voted for Mr.. Newell were sd
poor Democrats, to vote the Sheriff
patronage away from their own
organ!
Deeply impressed with the thought
lessness of the Paint Township Dem
ocrats, we wended our way to West
Main Street. and there learned that
the Germans, Jews and Catholics
had all united in Hamilton county,
to defeat the scheme the laboring
people had so much at heart-infa
ton of the currency. Passing from
thence to East Main, we were again
greeted with the news that Whisky
and Temperance had defeated the
Democracy; but one old "unterri6ed'
Democrat, whose breath WAS a con-
glomeration of whisky and tobacco,
remarked that the "Whisky Ring"
had always been on the Democratic
side, and be "could not see how in
the HI it wasn't this time"
Arriving at the supper table at
the Ellicott, we were informed, in
language mors emphatic than polite,
that money did the whole thing"
But whether it was the lavish use of
money during the campaign, or that
the people desired good money in
the future, Gasconade did not state.
After supper we further ascertain
ed that it was Huggins's speech to
the id niggers" on Monday night
that did the devilment and further,
that ''niggers can't be relied on to
vote the Democratic ticket In a
few minutes more we were told that
Sam Cary was an internal dema-
gogue, and "infation" hallucina-
ton, and these two loads constituted
''the feather that broke the camel's
back.
To say that these arguments held
our attention, does not half express
it. We were profoundedly impress
ed with their weight. OF course
they were all correct. Who doesn't
know that the Temperance and
Rings al,coys unite in poll
tics? Who does not know, that
those we're bad Democrats, who vo-
ted for Newell, when dramseller
was working against him? Who
doesnot know, that Huggins's speech,
Sam Cary, Initiation, the Germans
and Catholics, wiped out the Dem
ocracy9 Echo answers, 'who?"
"But in Hayes we trusted,
And Allen we busted"

So strict a party Republican as
General Hawley, so long ago as
April, 1874, prophesied the present
state of things, and solemnly pledged
himself, to disregard party for the
sake of sound currency. These are
his words as uttered in Congress
parties create themselves. They
grow out of some profound belief,
some great moral purpose. Yon are
furnishing that belief and that pur-
pose, to-day, by making it necessary
for men to rally without regard to
party lines for the defense of sound
economical principles and the pre-
servation of the honor of the nation.
There is no man so good that ] vii
vote for him for any office, from
President down to constable, if he
is unsound upon this financial ques-
ton. There is no man so dear to
me that / will not fight him from
the word 'go" until the election
closes, if he is unsound on this ques-
ton"

soured on the Germans.

The Cincinnati Enquirer is after
the Germans with a sneer, sarcasm
and general cussedness. 1t calls
them cabbage leaves, " says they are
in favor of the ''Adair law, and are
besides mortgaged to Schurz and
Hassaurek." The fact is, the En-
quirer thought it had prior claim"
on the German vote, and is mad be-
cause the Germans refused to recog-
nize the right of any party to con-
troll their votes.-I Dayton Jour.

The statesman of whom the Ohio
Democracy have been striving to
make Lieut.. Governor, was heard
to remark, in a Walnut Hills omni.
bus, the other evening, 'the country
has gone to HI" He spoke, doubt
less, from his true inwardness. As
nearly as we can ascertain, the Ohio
Democracy would now be gratifed,
if said statesman had gone with the
country Cir. Union.

PITHY AND TRUE.-The Circleville
Union, in accounting for the defeat
of the Democracy in Ohio, very
truly says:
Public morality has attained to
that high degree, in Ohio, that par
ty which ignores State and National
honor and panders to the worst vi
ces of society, cannot succeed, when
the people arise in their might"

That's so!-Private Dalzell writes
to the Cincinnati Times:
Il know, as matter of personal
observation, that the Democracy
would have carried Ohio, on the in
fation platform. if the school ques-
ton had not been brought into
debate. u
Dalzell is probably right.
