The Des Moines Reg,ster of yester-

The Des MOines Regsster of yester-
day says that Notwithstanding the
long silence Of the railroad officials
on the subject, there are many we'll
informed people that think the Rock
Island 8 Pacific Company are seri-
ously negotiating for the purchase or
lease of the X. h ID. M. line. The
prevalent opinion among that class ID
that the line will not be leased but
sold. Rumor 10 that the Rock Island
Company have offered to pay five per
cent ON the bonds Of the Road, and Ia
turn over to the corporation certain
share Of the gross receipts.
One thing is certain that the Rock
island people are anxious to get con.
troll Of some road having a 81. i.o0t,
connection more direct than that by
the way of Davenport, and the X. 4
D. NJ. would appear TO offer them the
best now attAinable.s

A RAILROAD WANTED.
An Excellent ressntation u the
Last Link 60 Complete the Rall-
way System o. Cedar Rapids.
For the Cedar Rapids Rspuplic.,

For the Cedar Rapids Republican.
II is well known to the older citi.
zens of Cedar Rapids that some years
ago an organization was effected in
this city for the purpose of making q
railroad connection, with 81. Louis,
by the way of the North Missouri
Railroad, then completed to Macon,
Mo. Under that organization the
line Of road was completed from the
south line of the State where it con-
meets with the st. Louis, Kansas City
Il Northern Railroad to Ottumwa, on
the Des Moines river, and the grad
ing and bridging was done tor dis
lance of thirty miles, to Sigourney,
the county seat of Keokuk county,
which is sixty miles south of this.
Several surveys have been made be-
tween Sigourney aud this place,
which show good line and easy
grades. On account of hard times
and adverse legislation pothing has
been done for the past five or six
years to complete this important line,
althoughit passes through one of the
best sections Of the State, densely
populated. highly cultivated, and con.
meets the systems of railroads Of the
southern part of the State, which ra-
diate from Ottumwa, with the system
Of the central portion of the State,
which concentrate at Cedar Rapids,
and brings our city within sixty
miles Of the great coal fields Of the
State.
The repeal of the obnoxious rail.
road law and the amendment of the
law authorizing the voting Of aid to
railroad enterprises, at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, together with
q promise Of abundant crops, leads
me to believe that this important, and,
to Cedar Rspids, very vital project,
may be resurrected and once more
set upon its feet, and completed -
was the original intention to this
city.
Cedar Rapids wants but this one
road to finish up her railroad system,
which will enable her to draw trade
from oil points Of the compass, and AZ
q distributing point she will then
have no equal in the State, and as a
consequence will be the most desira-
BILE location for manufacturers. What
we most need to-day IL cheap fuel,
and with this railroad completed,
coal can be laid down in this city at
$3.50 per ton, at which price, al
things considered, steam power is as
cheap as water power, and with our
then great railroad facilities, there is
no reason why Cedar Rapids may
not be among the largest, if not the
very largest city in the State.
Other points in the State are NOV
ing in the way of new railroads, and
in my judgment the time has come
when our city should move in this.
From recent information, am salts
fed that the people of Ottumwa, Sig
Quincy, and the AmAna Society, in
Iowa county, are ready to cooperate,
and / suggest that . meeting OF our
citizens be called to consult in rela-
tion to the steps necessary to be
taken, looking towards an organiza-
ton which shall embrace all the loca-
tons and parties interested in the
construction of this important link Of
road. JOHN WEARE.

EDITOR CoURIER.-We would re-
spectfully call the attention of every
republican voter of Wapello county
to come out in support Of one candi-
date from our county, and it being
the expression Of most of our citizens
that Wapello county is entitled to
representation, we earnestly hope
our delegation will not 90 into con-
vention divided now, for the contest.
We would ask that the name of Hon.
+. FL. Stiles would be again mention
ed, % his name has been previously
mentioned; would say tits in accord
ance with our sentiments and will
heartily recommend MIR. Stiles. 1t
is useless to mention here the sterling
qualities that he possesses, az he is
known to most Of the citizens of this
and ad joining counties. 1t is not our
intention to make war on any other
candidate that may come before the
convention, but merely speak in be.

It is q worthy ambition that causes
each county in Congressional dis
trict to aspire to send one of its citi-
zens to Congress. II is peculiarly
fortunate in the case of Wapello
county at the present time, for II has
caused to be brought out from its
semi-political retire ncnt gentlemen
whose services are 80 much needed.
II is demanded that the Hon. T.. II.
Stiles no longer "hide his light under
a bushel," but make his we'll rocog-
nized ability felt In the political
arena. Although ever willing to rem
der service to the political organiza-
ton Of which he IL a staunch men,
Der, and every campaign doing more
or less for its success, it is no dis
credit that he should prefer the rest
consequent upon . comparative re-
tirement from the political arena.
During several years past he has de-
voted himself to his legal work, with
a success widely known, and was no
doubt 10th to quit this quietude for
the heat of politics, but at the
urgent solicitation of many friends
did so, and permitted his name to be
used as an aspirAnt for political hon.
ors. Having entered the field, he
has rolled up his Sleeves, as is beflt-
ting an active, energetic worker, and
proposes to make the contest " arm,
and to do his utmost in the cause OF
Republication. The friends Of Mr..
Stiles, who have succeeded in getting
him again in the political harness are
worthy of the thanks of Republicans
everywhere, for his ability will be
felt far and near.
Immediately upon the announce
ment of his name, there were many
expressions in his favor from other
parts Of the district, which gave his
friends renewed encouragement.
1t is evident that Mr.. Stiles has de-
veloped strength enough to run on
his own merits, and that his pros
poets of success are second to none.
He is one of the leading aspirants for
the position, and a. such is evidently
worthy the support of the county
of which he is an hon0red citizen.
His political record is so we'll known
the state that it is useless
for us to refer to it in detail. He has
been repeatedly honored with high
and responsible positions, and has
ever been faithful to his trust, and
exhibited sufficient ability for an
task that may be imposed upon him
by the people.
Wapello county will certainly hon
or itself by giving Mr.. Stiles unan-
imous support.-Eddyuille Advertiser.
