Michigander has laid him out. Proceed
ing with his speech, Horr, counseling
harmony, said that the big river and the
Hennepin canal must not be too hard on
the men who wanted to improve the
smaller streams, because, said he, you
must remember we are trying to make
stream where there amt any water at
all. He plead for moderation, urged
business dispatch, counseled harmony,
and predicted that before the close of the
convention the men of KeOkuk, Burling.
ton and Davenport could meet as lovers
and the delegates from st. Louis and
Chicago would be found embracing and
kissing each other. HOrr's speech was
admirable, besides the wit, which kept
the hall in a roar, it was so fair, convinc-
ing, and well-timed that it saved the
convention from the danger of allowing
itself to be used by a lot of demagogues
instead of going at the great work fol
which it was assembled.

The Hennepin Canal.

The convention in the interest of the
Northwestern canal, a project to connect
the Mississippi river and lake Michigan,
thereby creating water way from the
great northwest to the eastern grain
markets met at Davenport, Iowa Wednes-
day of last week. Delegates from thir-
teen states were in attendance to the
number of $50. Representative Horr of
this congressional district was elected
permanent chairman and the correspOn-
dent of the Chicago Inter- Ocean pays
our representative very high compli-
ment. Carter Harrison, Mayor of Chica-
go, made speech in which he INDUCED
in TRADE against railroads generally,
denounced Congress as corrupt and wept
over the wrongs of the grangers. He
was followed by Mr.. Horr of whose re-
marks the Inter-Ocean's correspondent
says:
He said he did not concur in the be-
lief that, in order to build the Hennepin
canal, it was necessary to tear up all the
railroad tracks in this portion of the
country. He said the people of his town
in Michigan had one railroad, and, hav-
ing tried it, were now scratching for all
that was out to get two more. Refer
ring to Carriers assertion that members
of Congress were for sale at any price
he asked the Mayor of Chicago to re-
member in fairness that Congress had
improved great deal since he left it.
The tremendous cheers which lasted
several minutes after this knitting Of
