Why should not Senator Thurman
be the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor OF Ohio? There seems to be no
good reason provided his health Is suf-
ficiently good to enable him to make
the canvass. The reasons for his can
ddacy are numberless. Two may be
mentioned. The first is, that he would
receive more votes than any other
Democrat who could be nominated
The second Is that he can explain
more ably and by more direct authori-
ty than any other man, the motives
and acts of the Democratic majority
In the two Houses at the present SEES
sion. II is clear, that Senator Thur
man should become the candidate,
and that his readiness to accept the
position should be announced at an
early day.
One of the duties which the Demo
cratic party, now that 1t has both
Houses of Congress, imperitively
owes to the country, Is an inquiry as
to whether the various depts of Govt.
have been and are conducted in strict
compliance with law. The Republi-
can party has been so long in power,
and 30 much which Is of at least
doubtful legality has become practice
under succeeding administrations
that an investigation is ihperstively
demanded. Don.

cabinet In advance of the passage Of
tho bill. The Star says 50, and the
Star Is tho confidential kitchen organ
Of tho whole administration. II Is
almost certain that Congress will then
pass the Legislative bill, leaving out

West nre writing to their Representa-

opposition TO such passage Ia very

The County Election

clerk, and are given in another col.
umn. To make short work of il the
incumbcnts were reelected to all the
county Offices.
In the contest between Mr.. Ward
and Mr.. Trigg, it is useless for us to
say any thing for Mr.. Trigg as his
triumphant re election is compliment
enough. OF Mr.. Ward, il is just for
us to say, that under all the circum.
stances, he has made most credita.
BILE canvass. Without relatives OF
family friends, or even long residence
in the county, he has received a vote
almost sufficient to elect, when COM
pared with previous elections, Al
though he endeavored to align the
canvass on the debt issue, he utterly
failed to obliterate the personal and
local issues, which the great multi
pliety of candidates caused Indeed
Mr.. Trigg and Mr.. Hawthorne and
their friends refused to recognize the
issue, or to accept t. They repeat
eddy and persiStently declared Il had
nothing whatever 10 do with the
county canvass for the Office OF At.
torney The people took them at
their word and declined to make il a
test

we'll. But Blackwell has hold on
his own township which nothing can
break, and with his general strength
he has gone in again.
Mr.. Hendricks ran ahead Of all
parties for the office he has held and
filled acceptably for four years. He
too has local strength no man can
break. The small vote Of most OF
the other parties is due almost wholly
to the multiplicity of their competi-
tors, who thereby absorbed the votes
OF their respective neighborhoods.

Of the railroads I'm the United States
considered all together, paid a net profit
of4la per cent. Lately hundreds OF
millions of dollars have been invested in
United States bonds that pay this and
less per cent. 1t should be remembered
too, that this profit is on roads, every
item of the construction of which cost
the company its full value, while ut
least one half of this will cost absolutely
nothing. And further, the business Of
this road will undoubtedly be above the
average.
Following up Gen. Wilson, the next
questson is, "What kind of railroad
should be built?" This question needs
but little explanation, or calculation,
for no one proposes to build any other
kind but narrow gauge railroad. Mar
row Gauge railroads have lately grown
rapidly into public favor. Mr.. Fairlie
gives, among others, as a reason for
this "that narrow-gauge railroads have
relatively greater traffic capacity than
roads of standard gauge; and finally
they are safer and can be more economi-
cally maintained and operated" In
1874 there were 2,025 miles of narrow
gauge railways in operation in the Uni
ted States and 5ll miles under con-
struction and 5000 miles more projected.
The standard railway gauge of the world
is lift. SKIN. and that of the narrow
gauge is generally #.
No town can ever grow without a
country to back it. When we look to
the West where cities, marts and empo-
RUINS have sprung up as if by magic,
we find that they have strained every
nerve to develop and make tributary as
much country as possible. They do not
sickle to subscribe thousands of dollars
to railroads to open up and develop the
natural resources of the country. Con-
slider the marvellous growth of Kansas
city, Omaha, Atlanta, indianapolis and
many other Western and Southern
towns and their condition was no more
favorable a few years ago than is the
situation of Bristol to-day. Pluck and
enterprise made these towns what they
are, and the same important ingredients
can make Bristol the peer of any of
them. In this age of steam and electric
ty, much depends upon an early start.
Let Bristol begin now, and when the
next wave of prosperity sweeps over
our country, she will be in a position to
reap the full advantage of 1t.
In answer to Mr.. Wilson'S third
question as to where the money can be
got, allow me to say, that the people to
be most benefited should contribute it.
Is II possible that the sum of 100000. 90
or Sl0.000.00 cannot be raised to build n
railroad through country whose agii-
cultural resources is already developed
to II high degree, and whose undevelop-
ed mineral resources, according 10 the
highest authority, is the richest in the
United States east of the Rocky noun
talns? Shall we lay flat of our backs
like the lazy, stagnant nations of the
Orient, whilst western civilization is hur-
rying on the balance of our countrymen
to wealth and powcrY Shall it be said
in after years, that we might lave real
lied the dreams of CrcSrs but we were
too Indifferent to put forth an effort
too narrow minded to risk shilling!
Again, II Is in order for Bristol to speak.
