Democrats, Republicans,
Greenbacker s Read.

EDITOR New DOMINION
was in Morgantown few days ago,
l came in contact with two promin-
ent Republicans, and the conversa-
tion naturally turned on politics.-the
prospects of the different candidates
before the primary, DC. When the
discussion came to the proposed flu
sion of our party with the Greenback
element of this State, it was urged
by those parties that If, with the
help of the Greenbackers, our party
should come into power, that VIC would
call u Constitutional Convention as
early as practicable, revise the pres
ent Constitution, and engraft clause
into it recognizing the duty of this
State to pay portion of the debt of
old Virginia" That l was astonish-
ed at this proposition, you may be
sure. But / was told that at the
meeting of the Convention to frame
the present Constitution, all the Re
publican members were in favor OF
said clause-that our present Ma
tional debt was a National blessing,
that it gave us a stronger govern
ment, and consequently that State
debt would be a blessing for the
State; that we were in honor bound
to pay old Virginia what we owed
them, if it was aseertained that we
were in their debt.
Now, Mr.. Editor, always thought
that we did not owe old Virginia
anything, and that to saddle us with
large debt, the interest to be paid
by us taxpayers, would not be much
of blessing If that is the aim OF
our leaders, under the cry of reform,
burdening us with debt we do not
owe, the sooner the people know it,
the better it will be for all parties
concerned. Would it not be good
speculation for those sharpers who
have bought the certificates of in
debtedness which were issued by old
Virginia against us at a mere trflef
Is that the reason so many leaders
of our party have been visiting
Washington and other Eastern cities
lately? Was it for the purpose of
consulting with Eastern brokers and
bankers on this subject? Mr.. Editor,
/ love my party, but the welfare OF
our State is with me above party.
To have an expensive Constitutional
Convention again to burden us with
a large debt, is an outrage, which the
pleasure of my party being in power
again in this State cannot compen-
sate / am opposed to being taxed
for the benefit of Eastern sharpers
and their stool pigeons here. l be-
lieve that their cry of reform is all a
sham, to cover up their sinister pur-
poses. | do not believe in the bless
ings of National and State debts,
especially when that pleasure is
brought in the shape of heavy taxes.
Mr.. Editor hope you will give
this communication place in your
paper, and oblige a
REPUBLICAN.
The above communication was
handed to us by one of the best farm
ers of this county. One whose word
is his bond, and who stands high in
this community for truth and yerac-
ity. We publish it with pleasure,
that our readers and the public at
large may judge for themselves the
aims and objects Of our so-called
reformers.-ED. Jt1

THE Board of Supervisors of the
city Of San Francisco recently ap-
pointed committee and instructed
it's members to take into considera-
ton the incendiary language Mayor
Kallock has publicly used. They ex-
press the opinion that Kallock is I'M
scrupulous and unprincipled, and de-
void of integrity and fidelity to the
public interests, and that the time
has arrived for the Board to express
3 their condemnation Of his acts and
recommend that prompt action be
taken to vindicate the fair fame of
the city by judicial inquiry into Kali
locks case. 1t was moved to adopt
the report, which was put by Mayor
Kallock, who announced UiUa Udce
cate that it was carried. The roll
was called, resulting in a unanimous
vote for it's adoption. A resolution
was then adopted authorizing the FL
nance Committee to cause judicial
proceedings to be instituted against
the Mayor for his removal from Office
and empowering them to employ
counsel and prosecute the matter to
speedy termination. Throughout
the reading of the report and resolu-
ton Kallock appeared cool and un-
moved appearing to consider only
the dignity of his position as presi-
ding officer of the Board.

SENATOR BLAINE does not take
kindly to the suggestion that he will
accept the second place on the Presi-
Dental ticket with General Grant.
He naturally inclines to the first
place, and says he does not want the
other position even limited at. The
Chicago convention will of course
determine all these little matters.

The Republican plea on behalf Of
General Grant, that we needed a
strong man at the head of the Gov
eminent is about to be abandoned.
The great mass of the people of this
country seem to be rather to intelli-
gent to accept any such proposition.
Hence it is to be supplanted by the
plea that Grant is sort of an apos-
tie of peace, perfect personification
of love. But this will still not be a
sufficient plea to secure his election,
and his partizan supporters may just
as well let him stand or fall upon the
record he has made in his past Off
cial career.

Since the accession of the Demo
cratic party to power in both branch
es of the National Legislature there
has been a decided reduction in the
general expenses Of the government.
During the coming campaign Repub-
lican orators and speakers may do
all they can to turn the public mind
off on sectional questions, but the
real issue will be that Of honest and
economical government. There is an
evident determination on the part of
the people to set the seal of their con-
domination upon all unnecessary ex-
penditures of public money. The
political history of the past twenty
years has clearly proved that extrav
agance is the parent of every other
evil, and that people who permit
the earnings of industry to be appro
priated and enjoyed by those in au-
thority, either with or without the
forms of law, are mere slaves. There
are strong indications in existence
at the present time, of general
awakening among the people in all
sections of the country, and popular
apprehension is fully alive to the is
sues of reform. Hence the real strug
gle in the coming Presidential cam
paign will be for emancipation from
the corrupt combinations and rings
which, in ways too numerous to men
ton, have been preying upon the peo-
pie and eating out their substance
during the present and preceding
Republican administrations. The
great fraud of 1876 will not be re-
peated, and on the fourth of March
1881, new era will begin in an hon
est and economical administration
Of our government, by the Inaugural
ton of q Democratic President.

ager, for the last year, shows that the
gross earnings for the first nine months
of the year 1879, which is as late a
date as the account can now be
brought up to, for want of returns
from other roads, were 1913, 448.91 .
The operating expenses for the same
time, including the sum of $3.50,

in operating expenses, were spa, 538-
81. Assuming the business of the
remaining three months of the year to
equal the average Of the first nine
(and it will probably somewhat exceed
this) the net earnings for the year
will oe $l4,O77,52. A statement was
made, showing the causes which led
to the contract made with the Central
Vermont Railroad, which has proved
thoroughly satisfactory. During the
year, several improvements in the
road have been made and during its
three years Of business, not an ac-
cident of any Importance has occur
red. The road has not only paid the
interest on its bonds, but has made
net earnings during the year Of about
$l4, 200 and its future is very promis-
ing. The manager recommended
changing the time of holding the an
nual meeting to March or April, in or
der that the reports may be made up
for the full calender year.
