Your c. respondent called at the Ar
lington Hotel and found Secretary Bris
tow surrounded by friends and sequain-
tasces ef both political parties. He was
conversing with them with perfect free
dom, and was far from appearing disap-
pointed and disconsolate. He expire ssed
his unqualified approval Of tbs ticket,
and emphatically declared that Hayes
could not be beaten. He was glad it was
all over. If anybody lost any sleep over
the result OF the Convention, he was
sure he would not. Hayes" he said,

PROFESSOR WHITEHILL.-When in The

rule, is disposed 10 perform It's part.
But it Is much more pleasant 10 say
pleasant, rather than harsh things OF
any citizen. And so it is with nnfeigned
satisfaction that We express the belief
that Professor II. Il. Whitehill, since he
went 20 Philadelphia, has done his full
duty toward the people Of Nevada, and
that through his efforts Nevada has
been enabled IL make a showing there
which, III magnitude and splendor, has
no rival. IL its Kind. in the congregaged
exhibits Of the world. We think it was
a most foolish and objectionable mistake
that the original programme was not car
ried out, which contemplated the send
ing of both Messrs. Stewart and White
hill to Philadelphia. But that is all
past, and now it is simple justice TO say
that since Mr.. Whitehill went East, ac-
cording to the statements of everybody,
friend and foe alike, he has worked in
and intelligently for the best
interests Of Nevada, and that his work |
has been crowned with perfect success.

RAILROAD WAR At THE EAST.


AZ no time since travel became
common to the masses on the Amer
lean continent has the transportation
of passengers from remote points in
the Fast and West to the prairies and
the seaboard been so cheap as at the
present. The changes in rates have
been daily clrIonicied, bua it is even
supposed that special contracts for
parties of eXcUrsionists and others
have been made by the rival trunk
lines, which, if made public, would
surprise even the contestants. As TO
freight, eastward and westward bound,
the same remark holds true. The Ia
test reduction i'll lreights WAS made by
the Erie Railway on the 18th INST.
based. it is said, on information thar
the Grand Trunk Railway had re-
duced rates from Boston 80 the W est,
and this action WAS followed by the
pittsburg and Fort Wayne Company
under the control OF the PeuIsylvafl la

Three or four days ago. for the first time in
six months, we heard the hum of the fan and
noise of the furnace in Beats foundry, which
really sounded like. old times, and we learn
that 1t is to run all Winter. We also learn
that Mr. beats is about pushing along his new
flour mill, which has lain quiet for some time.
He is also repairing his saw and planning mill,
in order to prepare some timber for building
purposes in the Spring.
Speaking of building-there appears to be
call again for dwelling houses in our town
and some new ones are talked of.
But the din and noise of our quarries have
pretty much all ceased. L. o. Kessler has still
got few hands at work. He had intended
to have cut off some of his timber land, but
we learn that an injunction was served to stop
him from so doing. The injunction, we un-
derstand, complains of his not working the
quarries as they should be. Now we would
like to know whose business it is il the quar-
ries are not worked to suit every one.
