way of Mr. Hendricks. The latter has thrown his
influence to make Voorhees, Senator, and now voor
hees is gratefully determined to do all he can Ia
make Hendricks President. This is generous, for to
speak within the bounds OF strict probability yoor
hees had full rs good prospects Tor being President
as Hendricks has. There isn't ghost OF chance
for either one OF them.
The Ohio Democratic press is doing It's best TO in
duce Governor Bishop to resign that trusteeship Of
the Cincinnati Southern Railroad, but the Governor
remains firm, and draws the salary with beautiful
regularity. This road is an anomaly even in Ameri.
can railroad building. 1t has been undertaken by
Cincnnat.alone, to run from that city direct to
Chattanooga has cost SIG, 100000, and will require
100000 for its completion. 1t has twenty
tunnels more large rivers than any other road
Of its length in America and has the highest rail
River, which is 285 feet high. The work has created
more discussion in the State than any topic ever
broached there, and it will easily be seen that tue
Governor compromises himself in 10 slight manner
when he persists in holding trusteeship and the
Governorship at the same time.
Signs multiply of popular reaction against repu.
dation in any form. The demagogues, in the press
and out of it, have clearly msrepresented the
people, for in every instance where the popular voice
has chance of making itself heard, it has spoken
against silver In the Ohio Legislature this was
shown by the vote for Garfield, and even in the
Democratic vote for PendetoD, rather than Ewing
1t is shown now IN protest by the Chicago banks
against tho Bland bill. Indications even more sig.
niicant come from the South. The two foremost
Democratic newspapers in New Orleans follow tina
lead of the merchants of that city, and declare
against dishonest money. Another newspaper in
Georgia, declares openly against an alliance with
the imitation party of the West, and its declaration
Is promptly echoed by the press OF Charleston. There
is cheer in these signs for the silver advocate who
hopes for better luck from the next Congress than
he is likely to receive from this one.
The Ohio scheme for separating the Western
Democracy from the Eastern, doesn't gain friends
with encouraging rapidty. One furious soft money
journal in Indiana favors the merciless slaughter
of the obstinate Eastern brethren, but no other
amen is heard from any quarter. Doubtless the
average editor Of the party organ is able to perceive
that any scheme which depends for its success on
Democratic victories in Michigan, Wisconsin, Hi
nois and Ohio, is to say the least, shaky. Michigan
is always Republican, and has steadily refused to
succumb to any form of the initiation mania Wis
consin has Just beaten the Democracy an out and
out initiation platform, and can be depended upon to
do it again. Illinois is scarcely less secure for the
Republicans, and Ohio Is universally admitted to be
a doubtful State, with tendency to go Republican
in Presidential fights, Besides, the South is by no
means eager for Western alliance with imitation az
a connecting link. The Western brother may chafe
and protest and threaten, but in the end he will be
Obliged to take it all back again, he has done 20
many times before.
