LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Hon. c. b. simonton.

By recent operations OF the law for re-dis-
trietipg the State Mr.. Simontons native county is
by reason OF strong following the result Of many
years of social and business intercourse, he has
decided 10 enter the congressionai ne,o again,
9sg e Menis District from Radica
ietin. 80 - ~
To the Editors of the Appeal:
The above extract is taken from a bio
graphical sketch of Mr.. Simonton, published
as an advertisement in the different counties
of the Tenth district. Now il may be proper
and just to the voters of the district to show
the facts and figures as TO whether, as
claimed, she is The most available man to
wrest the Memphis district from Republican
control" Being q new man in this dis
trict he could not reasonably expect more
popularity than he enjoyed in the Ninth
district, and il he was unable to hold the
party vote where he was SO well known, how
can it be expected that he will be "most
available" where he is a stranger?
The following Is the congressional vote
recorded in the office of the secretary of
state in the Ninth district for 1876, 1878 and
1880: In 1876 the whole vote was q S0S.
For Caldwell, Democrat................ ,7e9
For Folk, Republican 6,50s
Democratic majority. ,29o
This was presidential year, when full
vote was cast in the district. In 1878, the
yellow-iever year, the vote was small. 1t
stood:
For simonton, 1898
For Black, Green back ---..-.-.---.-.--.- 4,o62
No Republican candidate running.
In 1880 full vote was again polled-
23,015:
For simonton 1880
Nor ShackeIford, Republican. l0S65
Democratic majority for Simonton........ 1,2s5
In Upton county, the home of Mr.. Simon
ton, the vote in 1876 stood:
For Caldwell. ............. Al
For Folk, Repa SS3
Caldwells majority. ASS
In 1sS0-For Simonton, Democrat.-...-...... 1,9l0
In 1SS0-For Shakelfcrd, Republican. 1874
sImonton S majority only............. 1856
showing that Caldwelrs majority in Upton
county was larger than Mr. Simonton's. How |
this state of things came about, we of the |
Tenth district would like TO know, but they
are figures taken from the official returns
and do not convince us that Mr.. Simontou is |
the "most available man" to wrest the Mem |
phis diatrict FROM Republican control, as is |
claimed by his eulogist. In fact, it is a sum |
in arithmetic that any schoolboy can work |
out. That if he could lose a Democratic l
majority of over 5000 in four years in the 1
district where be is 40 we'll known, how long
would it take him to wipe out the few hun 4
dred majority in this district where he is j
scarcely known at all. Not the "man for 4
we think. LAT.

Doctors MANowN and MART1N, OF
Kingwood, who are In the city in at
tendance upon the Medical Associa-
ton, inform US that the proposed rail-
road from that place is now an assured
success since the vote on the subscrip-
ton. The determined opposition OF
Mr.. HEERMANs, who is an influential
citizen of that place, has been entirely
withdrawn since the vote was taken,
and instead of e~ndesvoring to obstruct
the will Of the majority he has come
forward in a manly manner and offered
to make a liberal subscription to the en-
terprise. In this course he has shown
himself an honorable opponent and a
worthy citizen. Those who are making
a pig-headed opposition to the payment
of the subscription voted by the Upshur
county people, would do well to make a
note of this high-minded example.
But unfortunately for every commune
ty, there are too many men whose
blind side is always turned squarely
toward every public movement that is
onward and not backward, and there Is
no such thing as turning them about.

THE SEVENTEENTH OHIO CONGRESS
SIGNAL CONTEST.

The contest for the Republican nomi-
nation in the Seventeenth Ohio District,
is becoming quite spirited.
Inasmuch as this has been heretofore
a decided Republican district, to secure
the nomination is the chief point in the
game. But We do not agree with the
GAINESVILLE Enterprise in granting that,
for this particular year, it is the whole
game. There are several points in the
game this year that have not been
brought out prominently in other
years.
Heretofore the district has been Re
publican by about $500 msjarity, and
the Enterprise concludes that:
"Whoever can secure a majority of
the delegates, by whatever means, will
represent the district in Congress.
Hence the campaign commenced in
April and ends in June. The prelim-
mary work has been nearly all done,
and the result ON the first ballot can be
predicted with some degree of accuracy.
The convention will be held at st.
Clairsville on the 2lst of June, and each
county will be entitled to the following
number of delegates: Belmont IL, JEFF
ferson 80, Guernsey 80, Harrison 24 and
Noble -. This makes 1872 delegates,
and the man who is nominated must
secure So"
There may be some political surprises
in the Seventeenth district this year,
that will make the Democratic candi-
date a 'joker" who will be certain to
take the "trick" when played. There
are now five Republican candidates for
the nomination, and the convention
will be cut up between them very much
as we expect the vote to be when the
contest comes ON between the two par
ties. The estimated strength of these
candidates on the first ballot is as fol-

THE New York Herald has been
making a study of the question of lon
gevity, and finds that a greater proper
ton of men live to old age in the cities
than in the country. This is no doubt
true, if the average is taken above mid
die life, for the farmer above the age of
IS works harder, suffers more exposure,
and enjoys fewer comforts than the resi-
dent of the city. But under the merid-
ian Of life, and particularly in childhood
and infancy, the mortality is very much
greater in cities than in the country.
More people die than are born each year
in all our larger cities, and the increase
Of population comes entirely from the
outside,

"WHATEvER may be the moral
strength of Mr.. MACKEY's claim to a
seat in the House from South Carolina"
says the Boston Herald, lit is evident
that the legal grounds for his contest
are not sufficient to make it a case
where the Democrats ought to be ex-
pected to yield without a contest"
What particularly justifies the Demo-
Gratis in not yielding without a contest,
and also accounts for the number Of
Republicans who are reluctant to face
an unsavory issue, is the fact that Mr..
MACKEY's claim, in addition to being
legally weak, has no "moral strength"
whatever.

A CAUCUS of the Republican menu
bers of the New York Senate has re-
coded from the Republican
demand'that the members of the pro-
posed railroad commission shall be APP
pointed by Gov. CORNELL. The regu-
lar Democrats resisted this demand on
the ground that it would place a vast
power in the hand of Governor Cor
NELL, which he would use for his own
denomination and election. At a eau
Gus held by the Republican Senators, it
was determined to name the first COM
missiOners in the bill, and to provide
that the successors in first set shall be
appointed by the Governor. In order
to leave no chance for a deadlock over
the first commissioners it was agreed
that the Republicans should name one
commissioner, the Democrats one, and
the anti-M onopolists one. 1t is said
that this plan has been approved by the
regular Democrats, and the speedy pass
age of the Railroad Commission bill is
therefore looked for.

SOME of our State exchanges are very
much exercised over the REGISTERS
panther story" coming from Preston
county, and they are exceedingly anx-
ious to have the details verified and the
exact location of that thar panther"
specified that nobody else may run
"agin him." We have only to say that
the hero of that encounter is ready to
swear that the only variation between
the REGIsEKR's publication Rnd the
original draft of the story was in ex-
punging the mcidentthat made the con-
flict turn upon throwing snuff in the
eyes of the panther. If he has not yet
rubbed it out, he is probably still at
large.

Coleman, about 35 miles southwest of
here, on the +. Il p. NJ. r. r., via
Cedar and West Branch to Alpena, on
the lake shore. Whether the road will
be built due east from here to Tawas
and thence up the shore via Oscoda
and Huntsville to Alpena, or in a
northeast direction through Oscoda
county to Alpena, is not yet decided.
The latter is the most direct route and
penetrates vast forests of pine, while the
former would connect with the live
towns of the shore.
We are creditably informed that an
experimental survey has already been
made from Coleman to this village with
satisfactory results. Those who should
know, say that this road is certainty,
and that Wells, Stone q Co. have Of
fered to give $4,000 and r. Fl. Wei
demann q Co. will give $4,000 and
guarantees the railroad company &c.,
900 more, if the road is built. The F.
& P. M. company are the instigators of
the proposed line.
