Major Doty has came in and sub
scribed for the kicker since the above
was in type, and has also contracted
for $50 worth Of advertising. We take
pleasure in informing our readers that
he is q business man of the old school,
honest, reliable, and truthful, and that
as citizen his record is above re-
proach. Long may he wave.
SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER.
That old, superannuated wind-bag
who runs the Weekly Star and calls
himself an editor and publisher has
again been criticising the political
course of the Kicker. We invite and
can stand criticism from men of sense,
but the idea Of an old jail-bird break
ing the bars in illinois, robbing far
mer of his hogs, and coming West to
start a paper with the proceeds and
criticise Lis superiors from week to
week is little too catosh.
For the benefit Of the officers of the
law we would say that this old cnss,
who goes by the name of Daniels, is
about so years old, yellow-faced, long,
nosed, several warts on his chin, and
has game leg. He can, no doubt, be
tried for dozen different crimes. We
did think once of shooting him, but the
cost of the shot and powder figured
more than his carcass is worth.

About the Vice Presidential Candidate on
the Democratic Side.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE New
York World of to day contains a dispatch
from Chicago purporting to be an interview
with Colonel William H. Morrison about
his candidacy for second place on the Dem
Ocratic ticket, in which he is made to
say:
liam not trying to secure the nomina-
ton for vice president. l believe the NOM
inee for that office should come from Indi-
ma. Good policy demands it. I belive
Governor Gray, Of Indiana, will be NOM
inVted, and I propose to help him all l
can"
How do you reconcile your views with
your desire to get delegates for yourself in
Illinois2"
SIN the first place, I am not trying to
get delegates as against Gray. / am anx-
ious that no Illinois msu shall have the
delegation to use against Gray and defeat
the best interests of the party. What l do
want is this, amp it appears hard to be cor
rectly understood-that Illinois first
choice shall be Gray, and if Gray cannot be
nominated, then 1 want to have q fair
show in the Illinois delegation myself. If
Gray is not nominated l do notSwant the
Illinois delegation to be agai st me. l
don't want to be barred if Gray isn't
nominated. That's why l wrote to Brin-
ton at Tuscola in reply to his lette."

Contracts Signed.

Col. A. ]. Sweeney, President Of the
Wheeling Electrical Company, A. J. Mil
Ter, President of the Wheeling Railroad
Company, and Geo. B. Caldwell, President
ofthe Citizens Railway Company, met yes
terday and signed two contracts on be-
half of the corporations named essential
to the traffic arrangement between the car
lines and the Supplying of electrical power
to them by the Electrical Company. The
Electrical Company will at once proceed
to erect overhead wires along the
line of the Citizens Company, aud
this work done, the Citizens Com
pany will abandon the use of horses,
dispose of their present cars, and blossom
out as a full-fedged electrical railway
company. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to make the change with all the
despatch possible, and before the spring is
very far advanced the new motive power
will be prOpelling the cars along Market
street, as we'll as upon Main.
The details Of the running arrangement
between the two railway companies are not
materially different from the outline given
in this paper some time ago.

NEWS AND COMMENT.

The Committee on Finance Of the City
Council is having 3 serious time with the
appropriations. After two sessions, each
lasting about half the night, they were
compelled to order y third, in which to
finish up the work. One Of the amusing
features Of the committees struggle with
the street paving a~ppOrtiOnment, last
evening, was the difficulty they exPer-
ierCe in parceIiDg out the work so that the
total amount Of the ten cent levy, which
this vta- reaches the extraordinary sum Of
S2-.7i4lO, might be used. After two
hours work upon this point, the committee
could not agree upon such improvements
As would allow the use Of all this sum.
This is peculiar, when the many mies
Of streets, upon which no improvements
have ever been made, ore considered, and
suggests the thought that perhaps the sec
tiona j~ealouSies of the members Otthe com
r2ittee have been permitted to intrude too
far in a matter which concerns the whole
people ofthe city. One hundred and seven
thousand dollars for street Improvements
is a very large sum. 1t is more than the
Board OF Public Works ever had in one
year, and the greatest care should be OK
ercieed in apportioning the money. The
gentlemen Of the committee can ind
plenty of mud streets in the Seventh ward,
if they are unable to agree upon the dis
triJution Of the ten cent levy east Of the
river.

Mr.. Mills Argument for the Prose utiOn
in the Tally Sheet Cases.
Special TEleqrGnl 20 ne Sunday Register.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 1.-THE argu-
mentOfMr. Mills, of Chicago, was resumed
this morning, and a large crowd gathered
to hear him. He has not the versatility of
McSweeney, nor his sptness As a lawyer,
but he proved to be a very effective and
polished speaker, and created a highly IA
yorable impression. All interested In this
celebrated case hoped that it would go to
the jury this evening, under the charge OF
the Justice. Court, however, in Difference
to the memory Of Lorenzo English, decided
to adjourn at noon, so that members Of the
bar might attend the funeral. Mr.. Mills
will resume his remarks Monday morning.
1t is not likely that the case will go to the
Jury before Tuesday or Wednesday.

1t is probable that 'Gamey" Westlake

1t is probable that the question Of giving
first and second pr,ze money in the North
ern League, this season, as suggested some
time since in the REGISTER, will be
brought up and action taken at the coming
meeting Of the League in Sandusky, Tues.
day. All the League city papers ore in
favo7 Of doing 80, and it will doubtless be
a 90.
Manager B~uckenberger has made dates
with the Hour Boys, Of Pittsburg, the old
Shamrock club, for the Odd and Gath Of
April. Wheeling has now fifteen games
booked for April, the first being with Pitts.
burg on the 5th and 9th. Thirteen Of
these fifteen games will be played on the
home grounds, and Manager Buckenberger
is negotiatiug with the management Of the
Canton Club to play three exhibition games
during the month in Steubenville, Akron
aud Youngstown. These will be about all
we can handle.
The Kalamazoo correspondent Of the
Sporting NetrS of st. Louis has this to say
in the current issue Of that paper: ''Specu-
lation Is at the moment useless rs il only
creates an unwonted feeling on the part Of
the other clubs and whoever positively pre-.
diets, speaks unwisely. The two leading
clubs, Wheeling and Kalamazoo, are com
posed for the greater part, of new men,
who have not before played In the Ohio
League, but all bear good individual
records. Wheeling has signed, how.
ever, several old Ohio League play
ers with good regulations, thus Sc.
curing to her the first place in q
prophetic way, because we know of whom
we are speaking, aud have seen what the
players can do, when we accord Wheeling
this pc ,ition. There Is no doubt Manager
Buckenberger, formerly Of Kalamazoo and
now Of Wheeling's team, Is the best har'
monizer aud can make q team play better
ball than any other manager in the league.
Kalamazoo never would have won the pen
nant had Buckenberger managed the
GAINESVILLE nine. This is putting IL very
strong, but such is the opinion OF leading
ball men,
