PIrrsBuRG, March THE Inauguration
o~yershadowed all other matters here this
week. Hundreds of all parties and both
sexes left as early as the Sunday preceding
Inauguration day, while special trains were
required TO carry the people on Tuesday;
The. most distinguished club that passed
through this city was the Cook County
Democracy" Of Chicago. Its members had
a special train. the finest band in the West
a car load Of beer and we're throughout well
equipped, Col McHale, a member Of the
Illinois Legislature from Chicago, was one
of the party, and he assured the REGISTER
correspondent that there is no doubt of the
election of q Democrat to succeed General
Logan. Nothing but the temporzing con-
duct of several Democratic mem
bers of the Legislature had thus far de-
ferred Mr.. Morrison's election. These
members are strong proteclionists and re
fuse to support Mr.. Morrison on account OF
his pronounced free trade views. Congress
man-elect Lawler, who succeeds the recall
citrant Finerty, was also of the party and
conceded with the statements of Colonel
McHale relati e o Mr.. Morrison's election.
Morrison is apparently in very good feather
with his party in Illinois, and we're it not
for his western theories would certainly 60
to the Senate without difficulty.
Mr. Morrison, himself, vent to Washing
ton Wednesday night and while expressing
an apparent
Confidence in the Issue
of the contest in his behalf in Illinois, was
really very doubtful of the matter. He
freely admitted that his heretical ideas on
the tariff had INSTRUCTED his passage to the
Senate, but hoped to be able to combine his
forces and unity them in time to accom-
plish the desired result.
Mr.. Morrison Isl Washington for the pur-
pose of e~nlisting the influence OF the Ad-
m~inistration in his behalf. He afirms that
Democratic possession of the Senate is in
separable from the success Of the Cleveland
regime. Civil service he regards as a pop
ular allurement, but as q practical ill1.
sion. As a plank in a platform OF princi.
pies, it is one Of the most fascinating OF
/ platitudes, but as q demonstration it is ruin
Gus to party cohesion. Divest q party OF
its Offices (its elements Of 3ohesiveness) and
its sinews are gone. In other words, &C.

teal Democrats, or the country will lose

Il. s o. ConjectHres.
1t is generally believed here that the Bal.
timore and Ohio road Is figuring to get to
Chicago By way Of the Pittsburgh and
Western and Piltsburg, Cleveland and
Toledo roads instead of through Wheeling
as was az FIRST projected. Only sixty-fve
miles intervening between Akron, Ohio, and
| Chicago Junction remain to be built, and a
| formidable rival OF the Pennsylvania Fort
Wayne and Chicago will be set up. | Am
told this is Vice. President Kings cherished
idea Of competing with the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. Mr.. Garrett, in Difference

regards as imperative, leans toward the
construction Of the old Hempfeld through
Wheeling. 1t is altogether probable that

The citizens are still vigorously fighting
the laying Of natural gas pipes and the re
cent casualty at Wells5urg has had no ten.
dency TO allay their feelings Of antipsthy to
the invisible explosive. Engineers agree
that if the pipes used in transmitting the
gas be made of approved material, properly
and securely joInted, and the gas turned in
TO them at q minimum pressure that the
gas is as absolutely safe as the artificial gas.
The accidents have invariably resulted from
| the employment of second hand and de-
fective pipes. The value of the gas
as a fuel and heating measure is
too great to prescribe it altogether.
A Revival in Business.
There is q decided picking up in business
in this city and vicinity. The rush of buy
ers and sellers by a singular coincidence be.
gan on Inauguration day. The Hobbies Of
all the large hotels are filled with iron, nail
and glass men, and the number of buyers is
very large. Coke shipments from the Con-
nellsVille regions have increased largely
within the last two weeks. Two additional
furnaces at the Edgar Thomson steel works
have been started within ten days. All but
$500 of the II 500 coke ovens are going.
Western railroad authorities are here to buy
steel rails for the replacing Of iron ones.
The B. & o. company is preparing to
build large new depots, a grain elevator aud
coal yards here. Work will begin in a few
days.
Some Of the coal miners still hang fire on
Weeks award, but all the sensible, better
classes OF them have gone to work. A slight
appreciation in the price Of coal would, &C.
cording to the terms OF the award, give good
wages. Mr.. Weeks is very much disguised
because his honest efforts in behalf Of labor
have been questioned BY some Of the dems-
gogues among the laboring classes.
