The Democratic P~rOgrsmmS-NO Attention
70 be Paid 70 New DiStriSts-Talk of Hon.
John a. bingham for Congress over
the RiTsr-WnrnSF in the Field.

An ISTELLIGEScER reporter yesterday
meta distinguished politician from Ohio,
and as Ohio never has an "of year. nor
an of month in politics, the reporter
asked;
"what is new in politics over your

"Nothing but THE new liquor law. Con-
~gresRional talk is beginning to be active"
"Who will you run for Congress2"
"Warner, l think. Why not2 His
courss in Congress has not caused any
criticism. It is true some Of his recon.
mendations for office have not been pop.

general view"
"Then the newspaper talk to the effect
that the Democrats will ignore the re-dis.

Mcpherson was clerk OF the House OF
Representatives he set q precedent by

can! We happen TO have q clerk OF our
kind now, Suppose we elect our Congress
men in the old districts, and they are en-
rolled by the clerk OF the House2 Your
fellows may yet in late in the session, In
lime collect the pay, but our fellows will
make the laws"
"But who prepares the certificates Of

"The returns are sent to the clerk Of the
most populous county in the district.
With US that Is Belmont. Belmont has q
Democratic clerk. You see how 1t works"
"But will not the courts sustain the leg

raised in the Senate that there was NO

a member OF the last House. Two
Republican nominees we're also chosen,
Messrs. w. 8. Meek, aprinter, and George

Railroad.
A press dispatch from Toledo, under
date OF Saturday, says; The Wheeling &
Lake Erie railroad won an important case
In court to-day. Juege r. H. Cochran,
while a resident Of Wheeling, claimed
that he wa induced to relinquish a large
practice to become the general attorney oil
the road, whereby he was TO receive $4,000
q year for ten years. The company, be
alleged, violated the contract and he sued
Tor $4,000 damages.
Atnoon to-day Judge Lennon took the
case from the jury and decided in favor Of
the road. The case has caused q good deal
Of feeling the last few years In the Wheel
Ing 4 Lake Erie roster.
Judge OoChran's numerous Wheeling
friends will be sorry to learn Of this decls.
ion. The Judge was counsel for the com.
pany while located here, and did a great
deal OF hard work for 1t, devoting nearly
his whole time to Its interests, and was
finally induced to 70 to Toledo as Chief
Counsel for the company. He had been
there but q few months when o change Of
management occurred, and he was dis.
placed by Colonel Swain, q friend Of the
Garrison family. He continued to hold
himself In readiness to attend to any bust.
ness for the company in the purvlew Of
his written contract. On what grounds
the suit has been decided against him is
not known.
