WHEELING AS A DEMOCRATIC
CENTER

The Democratic leaders are puzzled
with the question OF a proper place to
hold the next National Convention. We
call their attention to Wheeling, which
they seem 10 have entirely overlooked.
The Panhandle is the backbone OF the
Nation. Ii is like neutral neck OF land
uniting the North and the South. II Is
the one accessible, central locality for
North. South, East aud West. Sitting
here. the convention couM stretch out
one arm 10 Ohio and another 70 Penn
sylvania and thus joining handsthe trio
of States would form an Inyincible COM
pact that could % forward to conquer
aud 10 conquest.
Chicago, Cincinnati, It. Louis, Baltl-
more and other cities are making claims
10 the honor Of entertaining the Con-
vention, chiefly on the ground OF ample
hotel accommodations In this they
are simply bidding for the spoils. They
want 20 TN mp their hotels at five dol
lars a day per head. They are all
prompted By sordid motiye-an inor-
dinate love Tor filthy lucre. Wheeling
will show them a style of hospitality
other cities never dream o. She will
roast dozen bullocks and invite them
10 a real old fashioned Democratic bar
becue, without money and without
price. She will cover Wheeling hill
with a wigwam, from which the inter
rifed Democracy can take view OF the
promised land and proclaim anew the
doctrines OF Democratic government TO
a free republic. Let the Executive Com
mittee not throw away It's best card; let
them not be so stupid a. to overlook the
inducements our city oilers in this con
ueCtiOn.

Tnls is what the Pittsburgh Dispatch
thinks OF the railroad enterprise between
Wheeling and Parkersburg:

local road through a hundred miles OF
thicNly settled and productive territory;
il will be- link in through line be-
tween the most populous and wealthy
city of Western Virginia and the Capital
oithat ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS through
the second most important city OF the
State; and ut the same time it will be a
link i'm line Of road between Pitts
bur,h and Cincinnati, shorter than the
route bv way Of the F., c. & st. Louis
railway; il will be an important link IN
a direct line Of railway between Pitts
burgh and the rich iron regions OF south
western Virginia; IL will give Parkers-
bury direct line to Pittsburgh-thus
connecting these two important oil CEN
tres; and it will give to Parkersburg
competitive railroad line to the Fast,
North and Northwest. Ii will also be a
link in line OF railway between the al
most insxhaustible timber regions Of
West Virginia and Pittsburgh and the
East"

THEY Will BE ExCUsED.

The story now runs that they want
Ben. Butler to take the dictatorship OF
Mexico, and ii they can't get Butler,
they want Grant.
Massachusetts, is willing To excuse
Butler, but he holds the matter under
adyisement, while his native State trem-
bles for the result. Grant will visit
Mexico and spy out the land before
making up his mind, while Blaine and
sherman hold their breath in expect
ancy.
The Mexicans regard Butler as the
man made for that land OF revolution.
His career i'm the management Of New
Orleans during the war gives him pres
tige for such position. Beside, he Is
understood to have large property inter
ests sin Mexico. which would identify him
with its affairs.
We don't count on the Massachusetts,
Yankees getting rid Of the widow after
such fashion as that. BUTLER values his
lien on the Governors office more than
the dictatorship OF Mexico. lie would
rather rule the blue stockings OF Boston
than the Mexican banditti. He would
rather poster his political opponents by
periodical menace OF the Governors
office in the Bay state than become the
absolute sovereign Of all Mexico.
As for GRANT, We are not so sanguine
but that with his love OF power, backed
by the persuasive tactics of SHERMAN *
Co, he may not be induced to accept,
and we prefer that he have the oPportu-
nity TO give Mexico "strong govern
ment" rather than the United States Of
America.

THE immigration OF negroes from the
South 10 Indiana is regarded by citizens
of that State as political scheme on the
part of Republicans to colonize voters
there. Hence there is a strong public
sentiment developing. not against the
negroes themselves, who are believed to
~ mere dupes OF designing men, but
against those who have duped them.
Asa political scheme it is predicted that
il will be- an ignominOus failure, and
that Tor every vote which the Repub-
leans may gain from this new element
they will lose two or three white votes.

in Pennsylvania, the other day, has
given fresh impetus TO the discussion
of the best method Of taking the life OF
those convicted of capital offenses. If
the Herald and the other journals that

wisdom of allowing the death penalty to
remain on the statute book at all, they
will do mankind a service.
The wheat spectators keep steadily

The attendance at the National grounds was
not very large yesterday afternoon to witness
the game between the National and Mutual
(colored) clubs. still those persons present
seemed 10 enjoy the exhibition hugely. The
Nationals earned seven runs and obtained
twelve more by errors; also giving the Mu-
tuals four in the same way. Lynch, evidently
seeing that his opponents could not hit the
swift curves pitched in few slow, straight
balls, which they got OH to amazingly quick.
After Richmond batted tossed ball for n home
run, Lynch settled down to work, but in the
two succeeding innings the Mutuals were given
four runs gratis. Ticrney reappcared at sec
ond base. and gave good account of himself
making three single base hits, getting two
runs, putting out two men, assisting once and
having no errors. Ellick, Dirby and Baker
did fine batting. In fielding, with the excep-
ton of q few intentional errors, the entire nine
did we'll. On the other side mistakes were
abundant, the Mutuals trying too hard to play
