COMMISSIONER OF RAILROADS AND TELE
GRAPHS.
The Fayette County HERALD and th'
the Fayette Republican have announced
the name of L. w. Buckmaster, of tina
place, for appointment to the position
above named, in the place of VIM. Bell
ir., the incumbent. Mr.. Buckmaster has
gained immense popular favor wherever
his acquaintance has extended, by his
faithful discharge of duty in the various
responsible positions he has occupied in
connection with the G. and M. V. Rail
way; his urbanity, business capacity
and unblemished character forming an
instant passport to the good will OF all
with whom he comes in contact. Weare
prepared to endorse all the good things
said Of him by the papers named, and
trust his candidacy may proye success
full One.-LGneGStor Gazette.
We take pleasure in adding our infu-
enOe to the boom of Mr.. Lloyd W. Buck
master, of the Muskingum Valley Rail-
road, as successor to Hon. VIM. Bell.
Mr.. Buckmaster is royal gentleman,
well qualified and popular wherever he
is known. His appointment would be
frst-class one.-L0gan Gazette.
"Buck," the well-knOwn conductor
on this Road, is spoken ofas successor
to Bill Bell, Railroad Commissioner.
"RailrOad Commissioner Buckmaster"
would be pretty heavy drain on the
alphabet and an unusually large mouth
ful, but it wouldn't swell "Buck" any.
We shall be glad to hear Of his success
in securing the appointment .-SdbinG
NeDS.
If the young men of the State are to
be represented in the councils Of the
State-and there is no good reason why
they should not be-there is not a gem
tleman in the State more worthy or
who has better capacity to'perform the
duties Of Commissioner of Railroads
and Telegraphs than j. W, Buckmaster,
so kindly spoken Of by his home paper.
Give the young man a chance.-NeD
Lexington Tribune.
We notice that some of our exchanges
have suggested L. W. Buckmaster as a
competent man for Railroad Commits
siOner. 1t would give us great pleas
ure to see Governor Foster make this
appointment. Mr.. BuCkmaster would
do honor to the office, and more COM
petent man cannot be found anywhere.
We second the nomination of the Fay
cite County Herald, whoselhonor it was
to name the candidate,
We had intended last week to say
something handsome about the boom
all along the line of the G. & M. v, r.
r., to recommend the nomination for
Railroad Commission of l., w. Buck |
one Of the intelligent and pop
ular Conductors Of this reliable line, |
and q gentleman without an enemy |
from Zanesville to Cincinnati, but were
to find it overlooked. 1t is not |
too late to say that it is a good name,
well presented and highly endorsed.-
CircyeUtlIe Herald
We clip the following from the Gin
cinnati Enquire Of the 25th
WASHINGTON @. H., Nov. 24.-We no
lice that all papers, irrespective of

Valley Railroad, and has
over seventeen years Of railroad exper-
ence, and through years Of courteous
ind obliging conduct, with heart full
,fsympathy for the aged and depressed,
md an eye and ear ever cautious for

If friends. Such is the character Of the
nan both Republicans and Democrats
would advise Governor Foster to place
II office, He can make no better selec-
ion of one more worthy of appoint
nent. Mr.. B. is stanch Republican,
'ut aware that "I'o the victors belong
he spoils," the Democrats, one and ali,
