To the individual efforts of the above the

were as earnest, perhaps, in their efforts, but
were not given SO conspicuous position, or
failed in originating any measure which has

The parties at work in aid of the enterprise
met encouragement on all hands. In this re-
spect the GLOBE was an important facsor; its
columns advocated the project unremittingly,
and with it's usual enterprise sought informa-
ton regarding public feeling far

lie Could Haze Saved Ohio to the Demo-
cratic Party-He Is Sorry for Thurman.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer sends word that Gov.
Bishop, of Ohio, dropped in on him, and,
being in one of his chatty moods, said some
good things anent the Democratic conven-
ton which nominated Tom Ewing.
"You see," said he, s'that I knew that
Thompson thought he had the job put up to
pull ice~through. Well, the night before
the convention had conference with my
friends, and told them that if was not NOM
mated on the first ballot that they should
support Ewing, and in no event to support
Rice. Well, after the first ballot was with
drawn, according to statement, and my
friends went for Ewing, and he received
the nomination. Now, I am satisfied
that had I allowed my name to
have remained before the con-
vention for the second or third ballot I would
have received the nomination. I do know
now, what I did not know at the time, al
though suspected it, and that is that Alex
ander Long would have sprung Thurman's
name upon the convention, and meant to do
it on the second ballot had not withdrawn.
You see, the Rice men thought that after I
got out of the way they would get enough
strength from me to nominate their man,
and hence Thurman's name was not put in
IN the second ballot, and the we'll laid plans
of the Thompson clique fell through
The Governor says had he been the nomi-
nee he would have been elected. s'You see,'
said he, "that there were great many Dem
ocrats who could not stand Ewing's Green
back ideas. Why, he fell four thousand be-
hind Tilden's vote in Hamilton county, and
fell behind largely in Cleveland. I know
over one hundred Democrats in Columbus
who did not vote for Ewing, and Col. John
Vance told me that in Gallipolis he knew
over sixty Democrats who voted for Foster.

speech making, but I tell you did heap
of mixing up with the people. Mixing is
what catches the Ohio vote; have demon
strated that. Now, as to Thurman said
the Governor, 81 am sorry for Thurman.
He and I have always been good friends,
but I ted him long ago that if he tied to
Thompson, Thompson would lay him out.
Even in the Democratic convention the feel
ings of my friends were not against Rice,
only to the extent that Rice was Thompson
man. Thompson killed Rice, sure.''

The oid Vo0 and 1h appropriation.
Pending this State legislation, and even pre-
cedirg it, Hon. j. W. McClung fathAred an
idea, which met with no little derision. He.
however, commended that the bridge would be
benefit to The United States government, and
that it should share the eSpe.se of build
ing for the free transportation of
military supplies to and from Fort Smelling.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
SO iinhned he with the justice and
equity Of this idea, that he brought the cham
her of commerce to entertain the measure. In
other words, early in December of 1877, he in
trodnced resolution into the chamber of COM

etc., to be of iron. Besides
this bid, there were six others, some Of which
were less, but it being decided they did not fill
the specifications, the award was made as
stated.
Under TIE supervision of NJ t. Horton the
work on the superstructure hos been done. At
the present writing it is nearly finished, or
conn leted to within one span, the middle one,
a strefch of 270 feet, which has been reduced
to 2G9 + ct by the introduction of a balance or
the kant-lever principle in the adjustment
0: the truss at or to the piers. The iron used
was rolled at the work of Carnegie & Co.. and
mar ufactured py the Keystone Bridge COM
pany. Of Pittsburgh. Every length, bolt, hing
or attachment has been tested, subjected 10 a
lateral and longitudinal strain, SO that every
part of the structure should over fill every re-
quirement of the specifications when in place.
In addition to the truss of the bridge
Mr. Horton has furnished the iron
work for four trestle piers, or work which
sixteen st,ne piers support next the shore
end Of the bridge ON this side OF the river. As
stated, the iron work is finished, excepting a
span Of 2A9 feet. This length will be com
pleted pile or false work can
be driven without obstruction from floating
ice. Though the contract required the work
to be completed on December l, 1879, it didn't
so happen, as is very we'll
known But then wintry weather
is very unpropitious time to do out door
celebrations, such as the spanning of the
Father of Waters would necessitate Assum-
ing this optimist view of the state of affairs, it
can be stated that likely the bridge will not be
ready for travel before spring, though the
contractor, commissioners, etc, give assur-
ances to the contrary with a whispering utter
ance like unto naming, January.
