To the Editor of Tue Argus;
The returns of the election held las
Saturday show that the district subscrip
ton OF Ss5. 600 to the Kingwood Rail way
Company was carried, aud the only reason
l can assign r the defeat Of our side wa.
The lack IL votes.
My opposition was to the subscription,
not To the road. believed the principle
TO be wrong | believed IL inexpedient
for the district 10 vac the $25, 200, and
still believe that II the co npany go ahead
| with theft work of construction until
ithey are entitled under the order OF the
| Court TO the district bonds, the souudness
of the position took will be realized by
the taxpayers.
The voters have said, however, that n O
district SHAH contribute its share toward
the enterprise, and we have right to ex-
pect from the company the promised
road. Those who have urged the gu, -
scription have not hesitsted to state that
II II should be voted, the road would be
built, and the district should share In the
benefits to be conferred, The Journal
stated positively that "if the subscription
II votsi, the railroad will be built" aud
THs ARGUS has promised, In quite as
strong terms, " l mistake not so that as
the district has now done all that was ask
ed of II, 1t remains for the company to
make good their promise and give us the
road.
In trying to maintain the position taken
by me during the canvass called no hard
names, and abused no one because of his
opinion; INDUCED In no personalities, but
tried To be fair and straightforward to
ward all. am sorry To be compelled To |
state, however, that some of my neigh |
hors who were on the other side, lost |
their temper and indnlged in personal
abuse towards some of us who opposed |
the subscription. For myself, let It all |
pass, anu shall indulge no uufriendly fee
ings towards any one.
AZ nothing now stands ia the way of |
the railroad, and IA that will develop all
the buried resources OF the district, why
should we not indulge in delightful aniic-
ipations of uure proSperityr
Surely We may surely may, for IL
cannot secure n position in the office of
