The recent very transient visit Of Sec.
rotary Sherman to GAINESVILLE, Ohio, 1.-THE
train stopping only a few moments)
seems to have had very happy effect on
the editor Of the Ehterprise, as well as on
several other people. He made a
very acceptable speech to the people
from the platform OF his car, and shook
hands with not a few Of them. They did
not find him an "icicle" by any means.
On the contrary, the Entrprise says that
"his presence was like beam Of sun.

crowd" He had evidently heard Of
Blaine's magnetism and determined to
distribute some on his own account. And
he did.

man has done, but the more striking

SOME of the leading Iron Companies OF
Pennsylvania have suddenly reduced the
price Of pig iron nine dollars a ton, gray
forge" being sold at $50, and the better
grades 81 higher. This reduction amounts
to over twenty-five per cent, and has been
made to put an end, If possible, to heavy
importations Of pig iron. 1t is said that
iour.flfths of the pig iron now being con-
sumed has already been sold at this reduc'
ton, under old contracts, so that the re-

Toe Journal having considerably
opened the way by interrogating
Mr., Jackson, we would like TO put a
few que ns at Geo. Q. Sturgiss,
an allie Republican, and the nom
ineo OF .s party FOR Governor Of
West Virginia.
First-were you not, Geo. c. Stur.
giss, bowling secessionist at the be-
ginning Of the war?
SecOnd-Were you not, George c.
Sturgiss, the editor OF the Moaltor, u
secession newspaper, published at
Morgantown, till after the beginning
of the war
T6iri-Were you not, George c.
S,urgiss, slave trader
Fourth-Did you not George c.
S'urgiss. entice a niger into your
buggy and drive out Of town and de-
liver him TO the parties who had
purchased him from A s. Vance ?
Fifth Did you not, George 9,
5lurgjss, induce the niger, under
the Ruise OF friendship. 10 get into
your ouggy and then before he SUE
pected your intention deliver him
handcuGed TO the slave drivers?
Sixth Did you not, George c.
SturPias, tell Col, w. A. Hanway.
when the Republicans come into
power, that there was no honesty
in politics and that you intended to
80 with the strong party p
Seventh-Was there, George c..
Sturgist, any motive except hope
for the spoils OF Office that induced
You to suddenly aop from noisy
secessionist to a violent, unIorgiving
Republican ?
These inquiries are addressed to
Mr.. Siurgiss with a hope that he
will answer them truthfully and
honestly and fully without techni-
cal prevaricstion.
These are not whimsical! inquiries
founded in the agination, but are
based upon the well known career Of
Mr.. Sturgiss, whose political life has
been as varied as the coloIs Of j G
seph coat.
But Mr.. Sturgiss don't resemble
Joseph in any other particular.
