The late Ohio Republican General As,

The late Ohio Republican General AS
sembly, we believe, was one of the most
reckless that ever inflicted the people OF
the state. An eloquent testimonial et
its weakness and rottenness may be
found in the protest of Representative
Kerr, which he had spread upon the
journal. He says that by "the useless
suspension of the rules the business OF
the House has not only been delayed,
lust and much needed measures defeat
ed, and doubtful bills forced upon the
House, and final action taken without
due consideration !" and that "a series OF
bills authorizing the levying of millions
of dollars of taxes upon various town
ships in the state, have become laws
without proper consideration, and in
many instances those voting for such
bills not knowing to what townships
such bills applied" The Cleveland Lea
der'8 correspondent naively remarked
that although Mr.. Kerr "is one Of the
most honest members of the House, and
is generally on the right track as far as
proper legislation is concerned" yet "for
some reason he is not satisfied with the
present Assembly," Comment on this
would be superfuous.

T1LDEN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

To our mind Mr.. Tilden possesses in
himself elements of great strength as a
candidate tina he did not have four
years ago. He is the same sound Demo.
crat, the same peerless statesman, and
the same great organizer he was then.
He has the same vast resources for con.
ducting a campaign he had then, and
the country is vastly more in need of his
executive and reforming ability than it
was then; and since then he has been
fraudulently cheated out of the Office to
which he was elected. Is it the part of
wisdom to antagonize him? ID we
need his assistance2 Can we carry New
York without him? We think we are
enough informed on the political situa-
ton, and on public sentiment in New
York, to say that he can carry the state
e sier than any other Democrat that
can be named. Concord Patriot

In 1873 the number of immigrants ar
irving in the United States was 266,OOO
in 1872 the Lumber was 294 900, and in
1854 they amounted to more than 3l9'
600. This latter was the largest number
that ever arrived in any one year. This
year the tide of immigration he's set in
early and strong, and, according to the
secretary of the New York Board of EN-
igration, the number will reach nearly
if not quite 100000 1t is estimated the
average amount of money brought by
emigrants is $50, making $24 100000 that
the 400 900 will add to the wealth Of the
country, and this independent to the
productive force.

Of Kansas and Kansas Negroes.
I'VE are permitted to publish the fol.

DEAR OLD FRIEND-After long delay

without writing page of excuses.
Spring has opened up beautifully. l

number planting corn; my farmer will
commence planting on Monday, the 18th.

good. The stock is turned out on the
prairie to live. have planted 100 ap.
pie trees, 70 peach, 1000 Cottonwood
cuttings, and three miles of Usage

THE BALTIMORE, PITTSBURGH AND
CHICAGO RAILWAY.

THE BALTIMORE, PITTSBURGH AND
CHICAGO RAILWAY.
A meeting was held at Pittsburgh last
week, on Thursday and Friday, with
view of locating tie above railway line.
On Thursday, the line lately run south
of Canton and through Wooster, and a
line run some years ago through Canton
and north of Wooster, were discussed by
gentlemen representing the respective
routes.
There seems to have been no discus
sion or advocates of line through both
Canton and Wooster. We regret this
was not considered; and regret that
Wooster and Canton were antagoris istic.
Surely there was no necessity for this.
The Wooster line by Bayard, Bolivar,
Beach City and Ashland to Chicago
Junction is 148 miles, while that by Can
ton is ten miles shorter The estimated
cost of the Wooster line to Bayard is So
900 mi e, and from there west $4,000 a
mile, making the total cost $980,000. The
people along the line in Ohio are expeC-
ted and required to furnish their share
of this amount. In Wooster individual
subscriptions, we learn, we're quite slow,
and acts were got through the Legisla'
ture allowing the voters in several town
ship IN Wayne, Ashland and Richland
counties to vote tax to build the road
The gentlemen who represented Can
ton were Louis Sci @'er, Henry c. Fogle,
VIM. Dannemiller, John R. Miller, DIR.
PHI. Barr and W. W. Clark, Mr.. SCh@fer
made the speech, and made it in
his best vein. He Contrasted the
two lines, showing the Canton
route WAS ten miles shorter, that
Canton was a live manufacturing town,
and would furnish more business to the
road than all the towns on the Wooster
line combined. Mr.. Sch@fer's remarks
were full of pointed hits.
The Canton gentlemen did not remain
over to Friday to see what action was
taken by the Directors; and as these
were all chosen with reference to the
Wooster route, that was adopted The
trouble was that Canton had taken nc
steps to secure the road waiting to see
general movement on the part of Pitts
burgh and Baltimore, especially the
Pittsburgh & Lake Erie R, R., and Balti'
more and Ohio companies. We should
have preferred to have had Canton rep
resented among the inCorr0rators and
on the B 1ard of Directors, Canton, in
that event, would have been in better
position. AS it was, our friends were al
disadvantage, aud returned on Thurs
day night, not remaining over to attenc
the Fridays meeting. Of course the
so called Wooster route was adopted OF
Friday. That was foregone conclusion

THE Stark County Republican Conven'
tion last Saturday was Blaine. The
Grant andSherman forces could hardly
muster dozen, though Temperance
Hall was we'll filled, Underhill, Folger
and Lawrence for Grant; and Pease fl
Sherman, availed nothing with all their
eloquence. Case, Lahm, Ullman and
others boldly waved the Blaine banner
and had the crowd decidedly, Under
hill with all his tact, and assisted as he
was by Folger, Pease and Lawrence
could not prevent an expression for
Blaine. 1t was decided, overwhelming
and determined, and meant business.
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1880-04-22

In the Republican county convention
last Saturday, when the Blaine majority
were driving things, and not much dis
posed to listen longer patiently to the
enemies of Blaine, Mr.. Lawrence got
the floor, and told them, amid the noise,
he wanted the Blaine men to say they
would vote for the Chicago nominee
-"I tell you its going to be Grant-put
that down." The fact is, the Blaine
men are not much disposed'to swallow
Grant and third term. 1t will be an aw-
ful dose for American citizens with
proper ideas of honest government, and
proper regard for established custom.
