braUe the connection Of the two places
by the o. & W. Va. r. r. The soldiers

Hon. E. D. Mansfield, the famous
writer on the Cincinnati Gazette, In his
letter from Pomeroy, thus speaks of
our railroad:
But now there will be railroad from
Pomeroy, and 1t Is the beginning of a
series which will end In making grand
srterial railroad on the banks Of tho
Ohio River. The Ohio & West Virginia
Railway Is now In progress of con-
struction, and will connect with the
Hooking Valley road at Logan. The
link from Pomeroy will be made on the
river bank to Gallipolis, about twenty
miles, thence to Logan. This road will
be completed In the fall, and thus
Pomeroy be connected by rail- with the
great interior. The road from Ports"
mouth to Ironton will be made imme-
diately, and thus we have the begin
nlngs of the great Ohio Valley road.

The Convention finally got down to
work Monday noon, after a long and
bitter contest over preliminaries. An
excited crowd held the sidewalk In
front of the bulletin board on Court

plimentary votes. Edmunds' support
was about equal to Washburn's. Sher-
man had carried his SO votes with COM
mendable regularity. The headlights,

304 and $50 respectively.
At eleven o'clock Tuesday, the war
waxed warm again. every nerve was on
the qui cire and every muscle tensioned.
The first break occurred on the 29th

sion Of "a votes from the Edmunds men,

ticker tor Gartield-he received IL

but 8. The Seth ballot was called
State after State was enrolled and the

limbs, deep chest and broad withers,
was loaded with link after link, In the
weary mile. With dilated nostrils and
Maine in the seind he jumped in the mid
die of the Ohio Delegation, victor as
thus: Grant 3ll; Blaine 42; Garfield
387. The Convention was wild with
excitement, the band struck up but
couldn't be heard for the applause. All
the States grasped their banners and
gathered about the Ohio Delegation, In
the midst of which sat Garfield. Can
mons were fired and the vast sea OF
humanity simultaneously joined in the
singing "Union Forever"
Conkling, Logan and Hale congratu-
lated the Republican Party on ita

Who among us, at all acquainted with the
political history of this vitrolized specimen
ofhumanity, ever supposed that in the march
of events combination of circumstances
would arise favorable TO the election of this
shad-bcllied, weasel-eyed, lizzard-faced pol.
itician, either us Speaker of the House Of
Representatives or United States Senator
from Michigan. Well, it has been said that
the Roman Forum became cow market
and the Tarpeian Rock cabbage bed, and
when sold Conger' becomes either Speaker
of the House or United States Senator ii
may be said with more force that the Capitol
has become National Bazaar for the exhi-
bition Of jaundiced and ring-boned politi-
clans.
When Shakespeare created his character
of Iago, he chuckled with delight us he I'M
agined that he had outstripped nature in the
portraying of the character of Judas Iscar-
lot, and when the Republican party shall
have been successful in elevating Conger TO
either OF the positions we have named, Amer
lean politics will have reached depth of
degradation beyond which the human mind
cannot fathom, imagination reach, or the
tongue syllable.

with the declaration that all distinctions as

He dwells at length upon the progress OF
settlement West at the Mississippi during
the past llitccn years. which he says is sim
ply prodigious; that prosperous farms and
cattle ranches exist in the most flourishing
condition, where only few years ago no
one dared 10 venture. This he thinks {.
largely due 10 the soldier. and in an equal,
ifnot greater, measure TO the adventurous
pioneers. aud b. that new and greatest 0l
