DEAR Sm:-I regret that Hilsboro
was not out enr U1asse to see the
Grand Pageant closing to-day in the
Capital City. You may read the
most gorgeous accounts She papers
may give, and after ail as the queen
of Sheba said Other visit to Solomon,
"the half has not yet been told
There could not have been less
than 10000 strangers IN the city,
from the East, West, North and
South, including the people, from
the President OF the United States
to the humblest soldier, not forget
ting the Drummer Boy, that stood
in the ranks and carried tbe scar
worn battle flags that to-day fOated
over the serried column that filed
High street for miles and miles, as
the procession moved to the mar
tial music Of the fife and drum, the
clarion call Of the bugle and The
soul-stirTing strains Of twenty odd
bands. It would have done you good
to have seen the Capital City in her
holiday attire -streamers and flags
literally shaded High street from the
Depot to the Court House, and as
the procession moved, # you had
been out, you might have heard the
peals Of the brazen-mouthed field
pieces even down in old Highland,
as they belched forth honor and vel
come to the brave Boys in Blue.
From Indications up this way,
and in all Central Ohio, it would
seem that nothing but soldiers viii
be on guard until after the idesof
No7ember. The times cali for ac5iyi-
ty, energy, -OrganzutiOn and fair
stand-up, shoulder-to-shoulder con-
test, by every friend Of his country.
1t would be shining agaIns5 =hght
and knowledge to suffer anything TO
set back the tide ofprosperity now so
happily bearing up al OuE industries,
and which promises 60 richly in the
future.
May the people, the whole people,
be wise in their generation, and
stand By the Government in these
piping times Of peace, as these
brave boys did in the stormy times
Of war. Faithfully yours,

Hereafter viii be a Republican.

Hon. E. A. Ferguson, Of Cincin-
matt, better known, than otherwise,
through his connection with the Gin
cinnati Southern Railway, who has
hitherto been a Democrat, has an
nounced himself infavor Of GARFIELD
and ARTHUR The following letter,
addressed to Hon. Richard Smith,
and others, is sel-explanatory
"Gentlemen-I am in receipt Of
your note of the 9th inst, asking me
to speak at an early date at Turner
Hall on the political situation. I
regret that I am unable to comply
with your request, as L shall leave
the city tomorrow for Saratoga
where I go to prepare a lease of the
Cincinnati Southern Railroad. This
duty will occupy all my time and
thought for some time, and will prob
ably prevent me from taking an ac-
tive part in the canvass. lam, how
ever, heartily in favor Of the election
of Garfield and Arthur, and may
hereafter be classified as a Repubi-
can. Very respectfully yours,
E. A. FERGUSON"

a Boston psper says The Gin
cinnati Southern road is developing
business in q way which must worry
ats competition, the Louisville &
Nashville Road. When first com
pleted it was characterized rs a road
running nowhere. Its earnings,-
knowing ones said, would not pay eZ-
penses. Maintaining It's two cent
per mile rate, It has stimulated traV-
el and compelled some rival lines to
lower their toll from five to three
cents. 1t has opened up for Gin
cinnati the great iron and coal re-
gion Of the South, as well as a here
tOf0re unknown but fertile and rich
section of country between. The
merchants Of the South, it is said,
seem to value their outlet and pat
ronize it literally. The gross earn
ings show an increase Of 158 per
cent, and the net earnings an in
crease Of 142 per cent, and their
business has not as yet begun to
reach such a volume as it viii when
the road is in a shape to work with
its connections at Cincinnati, as from
them the road viii draw a large pas
senger traffic and freight business.
Just what the Southern has done
for Cincinnati, the G. & NJ. will do
for Hillsboro when built and in run
ming order.

Judge Orton, of Darlington, Wis,
a lifelong Democrat does not think
it wise for the people to place the
Republic in the hands of a party con
trolled by the South, and will support
and vote for Garfield. His letter an
nOuncing the change of his views is
a clear, strong statement of the whole
case against the Democratic party
Whatever it may have been in the
past, he believes it is to-day "abso-
lutely and essentially the party of the
South. It's record in Congress dur
ing the past four years has justly ex
cited the suspicion of Northernmen.
Neither the National credit, nor the
National Treasury, nor the right to a
free and fair ballot will be safe in the
hands of the Democratic party
Judge Orton believes, and he will
have none of it.
