WENDELL PHILLIPS tells his Republi'
can friends that for the last ten years
there has been no one Administration
act done, except to minister to osome party
need, to help some party scheme, and in
the vain effort to build up, out of hostile
elements, some weak party bulwarks,
and in these attempts the Administra'
ton has uniformly failed. This is the
sinking craft that the people are asked
to keep afoat, and put in trim in 1880.

tIEIMORE, PITTSBURGH g CHI
CAGO RAILWAY.

The corporators in Ohio Of the above
named projected railway held meeting
stthe Ogden House parlors in Canton,
pn Thursday of last week, which was
siso attended by the Corporators in
pennsylvania, and by other gentlemen
from Pittsburgh and along the line Of
the projected road.
d. D. Miller Esq, Of Wooster, was
made chairman, and George Pumer sec.
retary.
On motion Jesse R. Straughn Of Fort
Wayne, was chosen chief engineer This
competent gentleman had been previ'
ously selected by the Pennsylvania cor
porators. Mr.. Straughn was to com
mence operations in Pennsylvania on
Tuesday of this week. Y
The line proposed is to connect with
the Baltimore & Chicago line at Chicago
Junction, ON the Columbus 4 Cleveland
r. r., and also with the Pittsburgh q
Lake Erie r. R., near Beaver, Pa. The
gap, which is about 1873 miles, when
made, will make a continuous line from
Baltimore via Pittsburgh to Chicago
The corporators intend to make New
Lisbon, Bayard, Wooster and Ashland
and points in their line; and will come
Canton if proper encouragement is
extended. Let our citizens consider the
matter, and act.
There was good attendance at the
meeting, and full confidence expressed
that the building of the road was going
right along. The Pittsburgh & Lake
Erie company was represented by j. II
McCreery Esq of Pittsburgh. Mr., Nc
Creery gave statistics, showing the large
freight business his road was doing, es'
pecially ia iron ore, and limestone.
Columbians county was represented
by ex Jndge John Clarke of New Lisbon,
K.F. Randolph of AGhor, and other gen
tlemen. From Ashland county were
State Senator T. NJ, Beer, Mr., Chessround
and others, From Wayne county were
D. D. Miller, Geo. Plumer, B. Barrett
Sloan Bissel and John Caskey.
Citizens of Canton will no doubt real
ize the importance OF this road. We
doubt not it will be built, and as there
is danger ofits being located south of ul
some twelve to fifteen miles, CantonianI
should at once consider the matter, anC
take hand.
