SIR:-On Wednesday last there appeared
in the hielligacer O card fsom DR.. S. l..
Jepson. Although it was not addressed
to me direct, yet it contained an attack
upon me 80 dishonorabls that l very much
doubt if De- JepsOn is as patriotic q gentle
uaa "a he cl,ims TO be-
lie admits that eur city government has
fallen iatO an unhappy coalition, and
that reforms are much needed, but fOfgels
70 charge the present Republican Council
vita having pTosiituttd their power, and
having brought our city 10 lts present de
ploIable condition. Tue Doctor mentions
several Democratic gentlemen for whom
be would gladly vote, had either of them
been nominated. What is the matter
with his own party; are there no
honorable men in it who would
make oreditable Mayer? l GER
tainly have more confidence in the
makeup Of the Republican party than
Mr.. Jepson seams to have; but that may
be owing to my ideas being based upon
principles somewhat more liberal than
those displayed by him. As Mr. Jepson
has made suggestions 20 the Dsmociaiic
party, suppose l may he allowed to do
likewise TO the Republican party, and
upon this suggestion make the elsim
that / sm a more patriotic citizen than the
DR.. l suggest 70 the Republicans, meet
ing in convention for the purpose OF nom
inatiog a candidate for Mayor Of the city
of Wheeling, the name OF an honorable
physician, one who will not disgrace the
ticket nor the city, who will WELD &C
much power over the City Council that be
will lift the city out of the unhappy con-
dition into which it has fallen, aud insti'
tute some much needed reforms " The
gentleman III TO whom allude, is DR.. S. J..
JepsOn. Then let the people tpsak at the
polls. And rs be cannot vote for NE, as
am not an honorable merchant, l will be
more liberal, aud do now pledge myself to
vote for Mr.. Jepson, if nominated.

This Republican City Convention to Reas-
semble rnis Afternoon.
This afternoon at two o'clock the Rspub
lican City Convention will reassemble in
the Police Count room to take up the tesk
of nominating candidate for Mayor.
1t will be remembered that the Conven-
ton last Saturday had not the nerve 10
make a selection, we'll knowing that any
one who might be named would he pretty
sure to decline the alleged honor, and it
wac deemed proper to take weeks time
TO hunt around and find a gentleman who
would consent TO be sacrificed. Whether
such a person has been found or not, is
unknown, but il is an open secret that
overtures have been made In teyeral
directions, in no instance encourage
ment being given TO the gentlemen depu-
tied to find a candidate and bring his
consent to run before the Convention.
What will be done this afternoon re-
mains to be ste1; perhaps candidate will
be forthcoming, and perhap, farther adj
journment will be had-or again, the Con-
ventiOn may sensibly come TO the conclu'
zion that to rams a candidate will be a
waste OF time, and adjourn without doing
anything.

To Whom 1t May Concern

To the Editor ofDe Register.
SIR:-DOubiless every intelligent and
observing citizen is aware Of the fact that
at the general election ust past, one-third
Of the officers constituting our Board OF
Education were chosen; aad while this
may not be considered an unusual occur
renee, Je! in view OF al the circumstances,
il msy be psrdonable at this particular
time TO attach little more than ordinary
importance ~ II. -.r .or
Within q few days this Beard will be
called together for reorganization, and the
special duties devolving upon it at that
tins will be the elecio Of a President, a
clerk, and Superintendent OF city schools.
tn, two latter OF which offices, and espec-
tally that of Superintendent, commands
quite respectable salary, which the
writer is informed AMOUNTS to I'll 900 per
anuum. And the result of the late cleo
ton has developed the further fact that
the new Board, when Teorgsnized, will
contain net Democratic majority.
Vow, the writer only deir2, to remark
further, and by so doing TO call attention
to one matter only, and that ~, that in r5-
calling the past history Of our BEARD o.
Education, one or two thipgi will strike
the average mind with considerable force
that We have among our citizens no
Democrats pos sssing sufiloent alb lily TO
as pire to and occupy any important posi-
ton within the gift of the Board, or, if
there re any sucb, they hive been 100
modest to p,eNnt their claims for its con-
sideration.
Now, therefore, this is 10 serve notice
upon any DEMOCRATS, if such there be, pos
sessing the req uisite qualifications, that If
they desire 10 serve their fellow. cit izans
in either OF the positions mentioned, now
is the time TO come forward and present
their claims, with the ss:urance OF recsiv-
ing such consideration at the bands Of q
Democratic Board as their merits deserve.
Ifihere is one thing more evident than
another. it lie that tie majority OF our citi-
zsns will not rest satisfied if the incoming
Board, as it will be constituted, shall lie
content to put on and wear the cast OFF
shoes of their predecessors.

mel work could be commenced, when they
would he pat on there and room made for
Others. The company hsd acted snd would
continue to act fully ia harmony with the
letter and spirit of the ObligatioDsput upon
them by the Trades Assembly, aud no
Wheeling man would be refused work who
wanted it.
After some further discussion Mr..
Tracey amendment was adopted, ayes III
nays4.
Daring the calling Of the roll, Mr.. Dob
bins, who was engaged in conversation,
was called back to his seat, and his vote
insisted upon. Dir. McGregor was out OF
the room, and Mayor Seabright ordered
the officer to 90 for him, in order that he
might vote. This very reasonable thing
brought Mr.. Buckmsn to his feet with
declaration, in an offensive way, that he
did not want 10 see ANY demsgoguery
here" and he went Oa with a long haran-
que about the imputation cast upon Me-.
McGNgor, his ability to look after himself,
&c.
Mr.. McGregOr came in aud voted no,
and the amendment was adopted. The
ordinance was then passed unanimously.
The measure must go back to the Second
Branch for concurrence in the amendment.
About q quarter 10 eleven o'clock, after
some miscellaneous business had been got
ten ont Of the way, the Branch took up
the political ordinance sent over from the
Second Branch, and it was read hrst
time. after q considerable amount Of delay
brought about through motions to adJouIn,
etc. On the second reading, for amend
ment, a number OF changes were suggested
by Democrats, and the consequent debate
was all the time interesting, and once or
twice took on personal phase. In TIE
course of their remarks the Democrats
rubbed in the Republican record on the
majority in sn unmerciful way, but the
Radicals hides have grown 50 calloused
that il takes a good deal to render them
uncomfortable.
AS midnight was approaching, with lit
tic prospects of the end Of the session, the
Republicans sent out and procured sand
witches, which they devoured while the
proceedings were continued, and then,
thus refreshed, they were prepared to SIT
ont the night, if reed be.
About half.plst eleven the second read
ing OF the ordinance was Concluded, and II
was read by its title and put upon its nnal
passage. The ayes were nine, and the
noes i've, and as there YVES not the neces'
sary two.tbirds in the affirmative, the
paper goes over until auOlher meeting.

In 1888.
Reuben N. Thomas, United States Lo'
cal Inspector Of Steam Vessels, and Benz
F. Goodwin, Inspector ard Supervisor Of
Hulls, have completed their report foT
1888, snd it shows a falling off from pre-
vious years, accounted for in several ways,
ore of the most important Of which is tie
composition of railroads. In 1882 the
Wheeling District was divided, and the
lower part of the district now has the
largest amount of businss, although prob
ably it il is not so badly scattered as the
upper district, which keeps two Iospec-
toIs going pretty lively. The Wheeling
District now extends from the head OF
Lion Isle up the river TO the southern linn
it's of Parkersburg, which takes in the
Muskineum and the Little Ksnawha.
All the boats Inspected in this district
during the past year belong exclusively to
this district. There have been A Of all
classes inspected, measuring 4.7l2 49,
1OOtbs tons gross and 4 4s0 29-lOOths net
burthen. SIX steamers have been added to
the service with an aggregate of 29f 10

The Rival Railroads,

The REGISTER yesterday morning con-
trained hint of trouble between the
Cleveland and Wheeling and the Wheeling
and Lake Erie railroad employees, tome
distance back of Portland, o., arising from
the proximity of the rights of way. 1t was
learned yesterday that whilst there had
been 70 actual collision between the men,
there was very exciting time. with the
prospects that matters would be ex.
ceedingly interesting Last night and
to-day. Oh New Years day the
Cleveland and Wheeling people put
a force of men to work blowing a
furrow along each eide of their right of
way on the Nesl farm. This brought the
Whee.iog aud Lake Erie folks to the front
with gang who commenced to throw
dirt in the way OF the FIRST named parties.
The Clevtland aud Wheeling force then
headed the others of by starting big ill
right ahead of them. and yesterday after.
noon the Wheeling and Lake Is'ie people
were sal a to be hgrrying reinforcsments 30
the scene, and that further offensive oper-
atoms would be at once instituted,
