The NeUs.JotrnGi, and with 1t hundreds
Of Democla's, incline to the opinion that
john Mclean, now that he has nominated
an anti -Pendleton ticket, was satisfied. and
really desired the defeat OF tie Highland
House nominees rather than their elec.
ton. In this, however, they were mis-.
taken, for Mclean Is more ANXIOUS to

A HARNoNY PRorosIrloN.

Mr.. Merrill, in yesterdays Neps Journal,
makes proposition to the effect that both
Democratic tickets be submitted to the
Democratic voters Of this county before the
day OF ELECTION, and thatth one nereceiving the
highest number OF votes be recognized as
the regular ticket Another plan spoken Of
Is to make up ticket from the two, cboos.
ing the candidates alternately from the
Highland House and the College Hall tick.
cts, while third proposition Is that both
tickets be withdrawn and another con-
yention be called, the primaries to be held
under the Baber law. These plans indicate
nothing, except that portion Of the Dem
ocratic party, which care nothing about the
fisht n,sde by the arrogant, would.be boss,
Mel Lea,i against Mr.. Peudleton, fears that
the two tickets make their defeat certain.
The Republicans, almost TO unit, imagine
that under the circumstances their ticket
can not possibly be defeated, and look up
on victory as already perched on their ban:
ners. To one who gets around among all
classes Of people oil both parties, 1t appears
that the election Of the Republican ticket,
although probable, and as matter OF fact
altogether likely, is by no means Ger
tainty. The numerous political contests in
the past have clearly demonstrated that in
politics, like with Jury. anything Is posi-
hle.

The company owns the Ohio river bridge
that has cost about one million dollars, and
ten thousand acres Of coal lands in West
Virginia, and has expended three hundred
thousand dollars on the New River Division
south OF Charleston, w. Va. The COM
pany has failed 10 pay the river division
mortgages only. All other claims have
been met, and will be 80 long IS the prop
erty remains under the present manage
ment. The car trust trustees have taken
possession oil their property and arranged
TO take wheelage on their cars instead 9of
regular payments II arrangements can be
made with the river division bondholders.
CAUSES OF THE DIFFICULTIES.
The report goes into details as to causes
that have led to the present condition Of
affairs, and says that the egreat decline in
the price Of coal and the amount con-
sumed beginning oyer year ago, with the
suspension and decline Of the iron bust.
ness and reduced production OF manuiact.
urers have caused the receipts OF the COM
pany to iall off over forty cents per ton
below the estimates Of the most conserva.
tive coal operators made eighteen
months ago. This has made .
difference to the company : on
100000 tons OF coal shipped and moved
last year OF $500, 900. Damages by floods last
summer and this spring to the extent Of
$4,000, and delay arising from same cause
in finishing the riyerdiyision, which is not
yet in running order, has added to the dif-
fcuIty. The contractors are behind in the
completion Of the Ohio river bridge, and
will not complete 1t till November LIST. The
Company has secured no benefit from the
earnings OF the one hundred and thirty
four miles Of the new line from the causes
named.
