The Highland weekly news. [volume] (Hillsborough [Hillsboro], Highland County, Ohio) 1853-1886, 1876-07-27

One of our Democratic exchanges
learns that Wright, the Greenfield
defaulting President of the Green
field bank, who left suspiciously some
months since for parts unknown, has
returned to his old home, and is
about to become Republican candi-
date for Congress. That's a dirty
SANDER, for don't you know that
when fellow who has always been
a Republican, does dishonest, mean
trick, he always runs to the Demo
cratic party as natural as young
ducks run to water? and that &C
counts for the increase in the Demo
cratic party.-[F [Fayette Co. Herald.

Hlsborough Highland County, Thursday July e. 1876.

The Convention then proceeded
with the balloting, the vote varying
but slightly from the first ballot,
Neal generally having the highest
number, and Dickey next, until to-
wards the close, when the withdraw
al of Messrs. Shinn and Fitch in
quick succession, put Dickey in the
lead.
| When the result of the final ballot
was announced, Dickey's friends
were of course jubilant, and mani
tested their feelings by cheering,
waving their hats, and other demon
strations of Joy, in which even the
Chairman of the Convention joined,
contrary to all usage, and rules of
propriety governing the conduct of
q presiding officer, whose duty Is to
preside inpartialzy and preserve or
der.
When the confusion subsidized, the
usual motion was made to make the
nomination unanimous, to which Mr.
Mccoy, of Ross county, Indignantly
objected, on behalf of the Ross
county delegation.
Col. Higgins, of Pike county, rose
to question Mr.. McCoy's authority
for objecting, in the absence of the
chairman of the Ross county delega-
ton. Just then, DR.. Nipgen, the
chairman, who had started to leave
the Convention, hearing Col. Hig-
gins remarks, returned, and facing
that gentleman, Indignantly and en-
phatically pronounced the objection
authorized, and then turned and left
the Convention, followed by all the
delegates of Ross county.
Mr.. Dickey being informed of his
nomination by committee appoint
ed by the Chair, appeared and briefly
returned his thanks to the Conven-
ton, promising to carry the Demo
cratic standard through the District,
and fight the battle on the issues of
Reform" and ''Repeal of the Re-
sumption Act.
We omitted to state in the proper
place, that after the 10Th ballot, Mr..
Shinn, having received 60 votes, with
drew his name, and was unanimous
ly chosen as Presidential Elector for
the district.
After the 89th ballot Mr.. Fitch, of
Brown county, who had received
about s votes on most of the ballots,
withdrew his name.
Mr.. Leeds, of Brown county, stuck
until after the result of the Oath bal,
lot was announced, when he also
withdrew, thus leaving only three
candidates in the field, Neal, Dickey
and Allen.
Pike county stuck to Allen to the
last, giving him her 10 votes on the
last ballot.
There was great excitement among
the delegates and spectators after
the adjournment of the Convention,
and many Democrats we're heard
openly denouncing the nomination of
Dickey as unfairly obtained, and de-
claring their intention not to sup
port him.
There is no doubt of the fact that
there is deep and widespread feel
ing of dissatisfaction with the nomi-
nation among many of the best Dem
ocrats in the district; and if Mr..
Delano, of Ross county, would come
out as an Independent candidate, it !
is almost certain that be would carry
that county by a large majority, and
stand a fair chance of defeating Dick
ey, in spite of the large Democratic
majority in the district.
We hope to hear before our paper
goes to press, that Mr.. Delano has
consented to make the race.

To the Democrats of High
land County.

DEMocRATs:-1 wish to call your at
tention to one thing. The last time
L. 7. Neal was a candidate for re-
nomination for Congress there was a
great disturbance about his taking
thousand dollars increase pay under
the salary grab law, and numbers of
Democrats did not vote for him on
account of it. That amount spread
over district of fivecounties would
be felt but little by the taxpayers.
In 1871, Henry L. Dickey, having
been appointed by the Commission
ers of Highland County to contract
for the construction of the Lynch
burg, Dodsonville & McCarthy's
Turnpike Road, did advertise for
bidders. Henry Rhoades bid, and the
road was awarded to him by Henry L.
Dickey, with the approval of the
Commissioners. Diekey wrote a
contract differing from the one made
with Rhoades by the advertisement
and Rhoades' bid, and thereby tried
to change the contraction Rhoades.-
Rhoades refused to sign it, and fire.
quntly requested Dickey to let him
have the road upon the terms he had
bid it off on. Dickey would not do it,
but advertised it second time, and
it was bid off at from seven to eight
hundred dollars higher than Rhoades
bid. The Commissioners sued
Rhoades for the difference. Rhoades
defended. The District Court and
the Supreme Court both decided that
Rhoades had perfect right to reject
the contract Dickey tried to change
on him. The lawyes' fees and costs
paid out of the County Treasury by
the Commissioners, and the seven or
eight hundred dollars that it cost
more to build the road than if Dick
ey would have let Rhoades had it,
cost the taxpayers of Highland
County near two thousand dollars
all by Dickey trying to change the
contract on Rhoades.
Dickey now asks to be sent to Con-
gress. Will the Democrats endorse
him7 We ask the Democrats to
think of that when they come up to
nominate a candidate for Congress
on the 10Th. Nearly two thousand dol
lars is pretty big pill to swallow to
start with, after Diekey having
been employed for years as Engineer
and getting a large amount out OF
the County Treasury for services.

The following highly interesting
document was printed and circulat-
ed before the meeting of the late
Democratic Convention. Its author
we do not know, but it is generally
believed to be from the pen of a
prominent Democrat of this county,
who is familiar with the transaction
referred to in the Circular. Per-
haps Mr.. Dickey will find it neces-
sary to give the matter some asten-
ton before he is through with his
canvass.
